On the impulse of a moment, Charles
Leonard, porter at the Henshaw hotel.
tripped and fell from honor to obloduy:
with no evil generalization, he did a deed
in an instant OF temptation that may send
him from the sphere Of simple respectable

Il never thought Of taking the trunk

This was the statement made last night

very uncommunIcative. but in answerNp
direct questions admitted aking the truneN
saying he knew OF its valuable contents :
and that on the spur OF the moment and
under a sudden impulse he tried to get
away with It.
Amy hotel reported can tell by looking
at a trunk what is in IT," he said. "Shoe
trunks. hat trunks, clothing trunks. all are
different"
1t is thought that the trunk was not even
opened by Leonard. He checked It to ST.
Joseph, but 1t was intercepted at Hamburg.

train reached St. Joseph.
When asked what his plans were in the
event he had not been arrested, Leonard
said he had made none and had not even
thought OF how he would dispose of the
jewelry. He says he has no relatives.
He is well dressed. wearing a dark suit
and srotless linen, but wore no overcoat.
On his arrival at the police station he was
searched and locked up to await trial. as
he has already been indicted by the grand

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1908-01-29

Every observing man must have no
ticed that the advent Of the sugar In

effervescing effect on land values. aud
this IS one OF the most satisfactory fea-
lures arising from the business. We
have seen land advance In price from
$50 or $50 to 5000 and $500 an acre,
but we must imagine that the latter
figure Is about the limit when the
earning capacity OF 4 farm Is based
on ITS percentage Of earning from an
nual crops. The effect Of beet culture
has been TO bring down the average
size Of the farms 20 twenty or thirty
acres, but OF course we still have many

farming Is the rule, however, the or
binary grower finds twenty or thirty
acres about all he can manage when

the uncertainties of such labor as may
stray along. Another salutary effect
has been the improvement in cultural
methods, and this IS shown tentatively

Of Particularly Fine Flavor.

A Medium Small Variety With Flesh
Of Particularly Fine Flavor.
The production OF any vegetable now
city always arouses interest among
seed growers and gardeners. More or
less OF this work has been done BY the
experiment stations. Tor d number Of
years breeding experiments with vege-
tables have been carried on by Pro
fessor Halsfed and bis associates at
the New Jersey experiment stations.
Among the distinct and valuable pro
auctions secured 10 this work IS a
nearly seedless tomato. as IS well
known. each fruit Of the ordinary to
mato contains hundreds Of seeds, while
the form which Professor Halsted has
developed seldom contains more than
fifty seeds, and frequently there are
not more than FIVE or SIX and often
none
This variety has become pretty well
established now and las been called
Giant because Of The very large size
that the plant attains II originated
Ave or six years ago as result Of 4

The flower clusters are small: flowers
cup shaped. light lemon yellow. and
the fruits few, medium small. light
yellow and nearly seedless.
The flesh Is particularly fine favored.
The plants lowered up to the killing
frosts.
The type appears to bo well fixed
Attempts to cross other sorts upon II
have uniformly failed Seedless fruits
have also been produced by Profess
or Halsfed on several varieties and
crosses OF tomatoes. due probably pri
marily to nonpollination with other
conditions favorable to the stimulation
OF fruit production
These crosses were quite uniformly
dwarfed in size. many in cluster be-
ing not larger than peas. but solid flesh

instance the fruit had The flavor Of the
