Peabody was partner OF Clifford w.
Hartridge. who was Thaw's counsel OF
record then. After the trial there was a
disagreement between them, however.
and they dissolved partnership and
moved to separate offices.
Continuous Work for Thaw.
Most of the actual court work Of
Thaw's various attempts to regain his
liberty have been carried on by attor-
neys whom Peabody retained to assist
him, but Peabody has been the one who
has continued to keep In touch with
Thaw's affairs and to advise him as to
the course that he should take.
Mr.. Peabody was a man or consider
able means and took great interest
in horses. One Of his hobbies was a
stock farm in Tennessee, where he spent
a good part Of his winters.

monia- He had been occupying the
Watson cottage at Babylon during the
summer, and was taken Ill there Satur-
day. He sank rapidly, and Dr. Harold

and a graduate of Princeton University.
He studied law at Columbia. Mr.. Pea
body was married to Mary Temple En-
met of New York. and had two children, a
boy and a girl. The family lived in New

What Ais High Society.


The fact that the presses of publishers
today are unusually heavy with books al
leging to expose the sins of society be-
tokens wrong somewhere. Either society
has been indiscreet or the public demand
for reading matter is depraved. Inc So
called exposures are nauseous enough.
with their foolish wives, their faithless
husbands and the shattered conventions.
People of sound thought, however, Will
not allow themselves to lie deluded into
believing that society is as black as these
books paint, but 1t may be well. at tho
same time, for those with a better view
point to ask themselves If by permitting
to go unrebuked the follies of an irrespon-
sible few they have not invited criticism
upon the whole. :.
Wealth brings responsibilities but It
brings liberties, too, and how one uses
these reveals HE real character. Were
society less lenient with those irresponsi-
BILE few who live only for the flesh and
are careless in their living, there could
be little Justification for the fiction Of ex-
posture which Is upon us.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.

LIVING FROM
FIVE ACRES
EDITOR OF LEAVENWORTH ECHO
DISCUSSES PERTINENT CUES
TONS AS TO REVENUE FROM
SMALL TRACT.

The last issue of the Leavenworth
Echo contains an editorial with the
caption, Making a Living on Five
Acres" In view Of the fact that the
valley Is full of newcomers, people
who are unacquainted with local con-
ditions and cannot figure out how
living may be made from Ave acres
or why the valuation Is held so high,
the story is reproduced:
"The people in the East, unfamil-
lar with conditions, especially condi-
lions where farming and horticult-
ure depends upon irrigation, it is
simply inexplicable that family can
make living on 1--WE acres in We
natchee valley. Yet hundreds of fam
lilies do make living, and they make
more than living; they lay up mon
ey. Raising fruit is by all odds the
most profitable occupation in the val
ley. Indeed, it is the only occupa-
ton that can be profitably followed
on the high priced lands in the We
natchee valley, where less than two
months ago seven acres of bearing
orchard sold for $21,0O 1t is even
predicted by conservative residents
who have made a study of conditions
that land values will yet go very
much higher before the limit is reach
ed.
while every variety of fruit that
is known to the temperate zone is
grown successfully here the apple
is the staple for very obvious reasons.
OF course, some varieties are better
adapted than others to thic locality.
Apple trees come into bearing here
in just about one-half the time they
do in Michigan, New York or Missou-
ri Two-year-old trees will bear the
third year they are set out, and the
fourth year will bear quite abund-
antly, and after that will continue
to bear in increasing quantity every
year. Since the first trees were set
out here, seventeen years ago, there
has never been year when trees
have failed to Yield fair crop. A
6-yer-old tree mauy be fairly count
ed on the productive list to produce
five boxes of apples. Now, if the APP
Piles are of desirable variety. five
boxes are worth $3.50, but let us
sly $1.00 per box-the best have
never sold so low Now there are
100 trees on an acre, or $500 worth
of apples on one acre, and $4,000
worth on five acres. On a five-acre
fruit orchard there should be no la
Dor required outside of the family, un-
til picking and packing time. OF
course the land between the trees is
cultivated very closely and is kept
as clean and free from weeds as pos

New York. Dec. 21.-American dol
lars will furnish Christmas cheer in
many humble homes in Europe this
year. Since December 1, in fourteen
days, several million dollars in for
eign money orders have been issued
by the New York postofice. The
aggregate Is considerably in excess
of the figures of last year, though
not up to the records of some pre-
vious years. It is expected that the
total. including large sums that will
be carried away by steamships sail
ing this week, will amount to more
than 100000.
There was a time when Ireland
received by far the largest proper
ton of these Christmas gifts from
her sons and daughters who had TAX
up new homes on this side OF the At
lantic. In the last few years, how
ever, she has been closely pressed
for first place by Italy. A single
ship sailing from New York last
week carried nearly 100000 in

here to relatives and friends in Italy.

Spokane, Wash, Dec 21-Jimmie
Harris, Is years of age, Is the hero
OF the ranchers in the Clear Lake
district, 20 miles west Of Spokane,
today and he is proud of the honor.
He captured the largest bald eagle
ever seen in this part of the North
west in a steel trap set for coyotes
on the bank of Clear Lake, and AZ
soon as the bird RECEIVERS from its
injuries the youngster will send it to
President Roosevelt as New Years
gift. One of the eagles feet was
caught in the trap and when the boy
attempted to bind its wing there was
a lively struggle. The bird sunk
its talon's into Jim's thigh, but the
boy was game, walking nearly a mile
to his home, where he was released.
The eagle has a spread of wings of
eight feet and is in good condition,
barring the scratches it sustained in
endeayoring to free itself from the
jaws of the trap. 1t has been sent
to Spokane for treatment at the bird
house in Mantle park, where the
keeper said the bird will be sent to
Washington in few days with the
compliments of Jimmie Harris.

TO BUY VAN
COUvER FRANCHISE
FORMER BUTTE MAGNATE IN
CANADIAN CITY TODAY TO
DECKER WITH DICKSON FOR
HIS FRANCHISE AND PLAYERS

Seattle, Dec. 21-Russ Hall left
last night for Vancouver, B. c., to
talk trade with A. r. Dickson OF
that place, who owns the Vancouver
club In the Northwestern league.
Dickson does not want to sell his
club, but as his wife does not want
him to stay in the baseball business
he has decided to defer to her wish
es. He thought he had made sale
to a man named Halstead, and
brought Halstead down to The league
meeting last week. But Mr.. dal-
stead failed to come through with
the money AMI then Dickson an
nounced that he would handle the
club himself But Russ Hall, having
disposed of his Butte club, is willing
to break into baseball again and he
and Dickson may fix up deal today.
Russ has the necessary backing to
make it cash trade, and If Dickson
puts reasonable price on his fran
chise and players the deal will likely
go through. Russ announced that if
he did buy the club, he would keep
Lou Nordyke. for field captain and
that he would bolster up the spots
left vacant by Hyatt, Flanagan and
Mundorff 1t is expected that "Os-
Ter Joe" Sudgen will come back to
this league, for Dickson already has
deal on to get him back from the
the Southern League, which drafted
him. Russ is a good baseball man.
and Vancouver is corking good
baseball town, so the combination,
should be winning one If the men
can agree on terms, the deal will
likely be closed today.
