nearby, and the sheriff took the chair,
nothing more passing between the tive.
Claims of Defense.
Mr.. Priest opened by outlining the
affidavit sworn to by Pierce in Texas on
May 81, 1900. and citing legal definitions
of perjury and false swearing. He as
serted that the defense would show
that the Texas indictment was based
on alleged false swearing, and that
when all the facts connected with the
affidavit were demonstrated II would
be shown that Mr.. Pierce had not made
false oath Attorney Priest also con-
tended that the affidavit was made in
Austin. Tex. two days after the reor-
ganization of the Waters-Peiree OIL
company, and that the company was
not d party to any pool, trust, cofnbina-
tion or confederation IN restraint of
trade; that the company had been GUST
ed from Texas upon the grounds of the
violation of the laws, and this oath was
necessary for it's readmission.

the defense Judge Shepard Barclay of
Sc. Louis, counsel representing the
state OF. Texas. told the court that he
had prepared motion setting up that

In q logging camp near Hutton, Nc.

and his widow was left in rather poor
circumstances.
Joseph Breed, particular friend Of
the unfortunate man, being somewhat

tention and also of carving the name
and age Of her late husband on the
lid, but he was rather worried when
he found that the age was twenty
eight years.

said Joe, "but / never could cut fig

Grimes; then as happy thought came

well, then, why not cut four rs?
Everybody knows four 7's are twenty

So the following day Joe completed
the coffin as she suggested.
The day of the funeral came and the
late Rev. Il. s. Black of Hutton was
reading the service over the body and
had arrived at that part where he was
saying:

Natural En.mi.. of the Quail.

Our quail have many natural enc
mics. They are often decimated by
the severity of winter, and there are
human beings so degraded and so lost
to shame as to seek their destruction
in ways most foul. A covey of quail
will sometimes huddle as close togeth-
er as possible In circle, with their
heads turned outward. l have heard
OF men who, discovering them in this
situation, have fired upon them, kill
ing every one at single shot. There
ought to be law which would con-
sign one guilty of this crime to prison
for comfortable term Of years. A
story is told of man so stupidity I'M
sportsmanlike that when he was in
terfered with as he raised his gun, ap-
parently to shoot quatl running on
the ground, he exclaimed with irrita-
tion, 81 did not intend to shoot until
IL had stopped runningy' This may be
called innocent stupidity, but there Is
no place for such man among sports
men, and he is certainly out Of place
among quail. = Grover Clevelands

TURKEY GROWING.
Wise Hints From Winet Randall In
Farm JournaI OF Philadelphia.


The turkey business is one of the
foremost branches of the poultry in
dustry, and the prices paid for first
class stock this year are better and the
demand is greater than for some years.
The problem that confronts the be-
ginner is that turkeys are hard to
raise. 'Tis true there are obstacles 10
overcome, but such is the case in all
branches of poultry culture.
A start can be made with few
birds and the flock increased as means
and experience will permit. Secure
trio for a beginning. This is Il good
time to buy. Do not wait until spring;
the chances for good birds are better
now than they will be next April.
The holiday trade in all the leading
cities was large, larger than ever be-
fore, and it was hard work TO get
enough birds to supply the demand.
In consequence very few birds went
Into cold storage
Some are asking why high prices
prevail more Of late than was the GUS
tom in past years, to which l can give
but one reason-increased consump-
ton.
In many localities turkeys are not
raised so extensively as they were
three or four years ago. Some gave
up the work on account of seasons
failure. Disease in the flock drove 9th
ers out of business.
Before you sell your stock pick out
the best for your own breeding, then
get rid Of the rest. Don't be like Pc
ter Tumbledown. He always gets rid
of his choicest fowls and keeps the
scrubs for his own breeding.

In Belgium members of the Catholic
clergy cannot be ordained until they
have taken course in an agricultural

moving in and out among their parish

them sound and helpful advice and
suggestions touching their agricultural
operations. The requirement would
thus seem to be most commendable
