citron Tree and the Bible.

Was the citron tree the tree OF
knowledge of good and evil in the
garden of Eden? Some persons think
It was. In any event, it appears that
"citron" would often be the right
rendering in passages where the au-
thorized version of the Bible gives
,"apple." For instance, In the Prov
cribs, "a word fifty spoken is like ap-
pies of gold in pictures of silver"
And in the Song Of Solomon, Gas the
apple tree among the trees of the
wood, so is my beloved among the
sons" And again, "Stay me with
flagons,: comfort me with apples, for
I am sick of love-"

HAPPENINGS IN CLINTON.

will be a pleasure and a regret to pas
tors and congregations alike.
Mrs. Holland Williams has returned
home from pleasant four weeks
visit in Kansas City with her brother,
Jno. Moreland.
A social was held Monday night at
Bethel A. M. r. church.
Mrs. c.. ". Bush and daughter, Rs
.tella. arrived home Friday from Chi
cago, where they visited for two
weeks with relatives and friends.
Geo. Robinson, who has spent the
past few years as resident OF Seat
tie, Wash, is in Clinton for an in
definite time visiting relatives and
friends. !.
Bell Monroe, "a well known colored
resident of Clinton, died Saturday
night as the result of injuries re-
ceived at the hands Of Charles Mad
sen of the firm of Madsen Bros,
butchers, on North Second street, at
an early hour that evening. The facts
of the case as near as can be deter
mined are that Monroe called at the
market of Madsen Bros. about Z
o'clock Saturday evening. While there
dispute arose about an account
charged against him. While Chris
and. Charles Madsen were endeavor-
ing to eject him from the building he
was given a vigorous shove by Charles
Madsen out of the door, which caused
him to fall. It is claimed that he fell
backwards, striking the back of his
head on the walk. Monroe was as
sisted by bystanders to a chair, where
he showed a dazed condition and
lapsed into unconsciousness. in which
state he remained for time. He
later was taken to his home on Oak
street and a physician called. At
about 10 o'clock Monroe passed away.
Coroner Kellogg was notified, who i'm.
mediately ordered Charles Madsen
placed in custody pending an investi-
cation. A post norton examination
was held Sunday which disclosed a
.bruise on the back Of the head. The
brain was examined and a blood clot
was found in what is called the small
er brain. The heart was also found
to be unusually large, which had a
tendency to weaken the other vessels
Of the entire body. After completing
the autopsy the doctors agreed that
Monroe's death was caused by hem
orrhage at the base Of the brain and
not by the external bruise on the
head. The evidence as given before
the coroner's jury was not sufficient
in their judgment to hold Madison. He
was therefore released Another ex-,
animation was held on the body of
Monroe on Monday by other physi-
clans, at the conclusion Of which Mad
sen was rearrested. What the out
come will be we cannot say, but it is
evident the matter needs investiga-
tion as the cause of death has not yet
been clearly established Bell Monroe
was Sc years of age at time of death.
He was long time, well known resi-
dent of Clinton. His funeral was held
Tuesday morning.

MEADOW MICE ONE OF THE
MENACES TO AGRICULTURE
Their Destructive Habits and Their Natural Enemies.-By
d. E. Lantz. Asst. Biologist, Biological Survey.

In recent years the department of
agriculture has frequently received
complaints of damages to meadows
and pastures by field mice. The COM
mon meadow mouse On. pennsylvania
Gus and it's various subspecies) is usu-
ally the offender in these cases, al
though the prairie meadow mouse ON.
austerus) also causes considerable
loss in the west. Both these mice work
under the snow in winter, b%urrowing
along the tops of the succulent roots
of clover and other plants, and some
times destroy entire meadows, which
have to be plowed up and resolved.
Such damage usually occurs where a
thick growth of grass is left in the
field in fall. Closely moved or closely
pastured fields are not usually badly
injured by mice.
The meadow mice are destructive to
market gardens. Strawberry fields are
especially liable to attack, because of
the mulch used to protect the plants
and because of the animals fondness
for the succulent crowns of the
plants themselves. These mice de-
stroy seeds in the garden, hotbed, or
cold-frame, potatoes in the ground,
and many other growing vegetables.
In the fall they destroy beets,
turnips, carrots. parsnips, celery, ap-
pies and potatoes, when piled on the
ground or stored in pits. The depre-
datiOns may to a great extent be pre-
vented by the careful burning of
weeds and other trash which harbor
the pests.
The destruction Of corr and wheat
