Cause Of Leaves Change Of Color.

Cause OF Leaves Change Of Color.
When sap ceases to flow in the au-
tumn, and the natural growth Of the
tree ceases, oxidation in the leaves
takes place. Under this oxidation the
leaves change to red, or, with a slight
change OF the condition, 1t might be
yellow or brown. This, however, Is
only the chemical explanation. Life.
or. as we would say, vital power, has
to bear part. II branch Is entire
ly cut OF from the main plant, no
change Of color occurs. On the Other
hand, II branch is injured, though
not entirely cut on from the tree, a
change Of color takes place, even IL II
be midsummer. In other words, chem.
istry alone cannot account for the
bright colors of autumn foliage: the
mysterious power we call life has to
work at the same time.

Money-Arrested at Aberdeen.
Neigh, Neb., Jan 14.-Special tC
The News: w. NJ. Kieth, a young mar
not over twenty-five years of age, Is
In the county Jail in this city charged
with embezzling $500 from John A
Davenport of Elgin, while in his EN-
ploy as clerk.
Charges were made and a warrant
issued and placed in the hands OF
Sheriff Miller last Wednesday. who in
company with Mr.. Davenport left on
the early train the following morning
for Aberdeen, S. D., where the young
man had been in business with his
brother.
What can be learned as to the facts
In the case is merely a matter of con.
lecture, but 1t is reported that the
young man now in the hands of the
sheriff had at one time a deposit of
$500 in bank of Elgin while in the
employ of Mr. Davenport, although
in a statement to your correspondent
from Mr.. Kieth, he absolutely denies
this fact, and states positively that
there Is no truth in the statement He
declined whatever to answer questions
as to where his parents reside or what
the charges are against him, simply
stating that it was all a joke.
After much questioning he stated
that he had been in the employ of Mr..
Davenport for about year. and adj
mitted that in company with his
brother they were in business at Aber-
deem, but recently had disposed of
their stock of cooks, his voice being
in continual tremble while making
these remarks.
1t was learned that his parents reside
at Curtis and are expected here to-
morrow or next day. These facts were
learned from Sheriff Miller Upon
their arrival will await the prelimin-
airy hearing which will be held before
County Judge Wilson, probably next
Friday.
The prisoner seems to have a great
deal of faith in his brother who he
claims is settling up their affairs in
South Dakota, and will be here in
few days to render all the assistance
possible that can be given to secure
his release.

E, A, Bullock, II he could only know,
would find his name is mentioned in
anger in many Norfolk households.
Bullock was once counted a rather
popular man but his popularity is
waning. And worse yet he has the
women after him.
Bullock's offense lay in placing with
in plain view of every school boy pass.

stack being placed and pointed in such
direction that 1t was necessary for
every small boy to crawl the length
of the pipe In order to get to school,
"Grown.ups" would imagine that to
reach the stack one would have to go
many feet out of the way but every
small boy saw instantly that through
the stack lay the only short cut to
school.
To increase the seriousness of his
offense against the community, Bull
lock had the stack painted red both on
the inside and on the outside. He thus
not only made it necessary for the
small boys to crawl through the pipe
to reach school but he marked each
boy with red.
1t is said that teachers by looking
at the boys clothing can tell at a
glance which of the pupils live west

Then she does the deed. A man who
