prospect and expected 20 or 81
bushels per acre, reports to-day
that he will not have ever 10 bush

filed. There are patches In near
ly every field, of blasted heads

the awful crime committed by my dear
son while crazed with the poisonous
whiskey purchased at a bar room III
Stanton. On February 4th, 1906, he
shot and killed Henry Smith. his neigh
Dor and friend, without realizing
the horrible crime, near lack. Va. On
August 3rd, 1906, he was executed In
Lexington in the bloom of health, aged
30 years. His last words were warning
the people against this awful curse
that had crazed his brain causing hin
to take the life of his friend ard neigh
tor He was my only support in my
Ceclining years, my other children
having families of their own.
Time can never heal the pangs Of
my broken heart, as go down to my
grave IN grief that words cannot eX
press. My daily prayers are that the
whiskey curse may be blotted out, net

the cause of my sad bereavement on

cave In the side Of the hill, and into 1t
they rushed. When the rain stopped
they came out and. to their surprise.
found a cheetah sitting licking the
heavy wet or his waistcoat and his

deprive his visitors Of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside in the

and gracefully wagging his tail. the
cheetah bade adieu to his guests and

chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest of the junior member,
however was at white heat, and he
kept sending for the young lecturer, In
sisting that he come down TO the office
and read his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible,
but this only increased the anxiety OF
the Junior.

promise made the senior partner. In
stead of quietlng the junior manager
the announcement made him the more
anxious. and finally the young man
consented.
The reading ended, the junior part
ner said:

US all much valuable time. III tell you
frankly, my boy, 1t won't do. There's
no message in II; II is loosely construct
