coNvlcT's IDEA or HIS RIGHT
TO RESULTS or ROBBERY.
Mai. MecIauahry Tells Of Hard Work
He Had to Convince Man That
Stolen Funds should Be
Returned.

TITS queer what notions some peo-
pie get into their heads" Maj r. w
McClaughry. warden of the United
States penitentiary at Leavenworth,
said in Kansas City. Kan. Some
folks simply can't distinguish be-
tween the right and the wrong"
Maj. McClaughry told a story OF
a man who was sent to a penitentiary
Tor ten years for robbing bank Of
$4,000. He had reached through the
wicket at the teller's station snatched
a pile Of bills, escaped from the bank
ano had hid the money before he was ar
rested
Wen, sir. he was a model prisoner,
Mai McClaughry said He behaved
SO well that everybody about the
penitentiary liked him, and by such
conduct he succeeded In obtaining
enough credit marks to reduce his
time Of Imprisonment from ten years
to six years and nine months. A day
or two before his release he request
ca an interview Will me.
Warden, he said, I want to ask
your advice about a little matter. You
know I'm to leave this place in a
few hours. am going into business
Of some kind and ] shall want part
ner. Now, in what business would
you advise me to enter-for you
know | want to make an honest liY-
ing and be a good citizen.
Il asked him what kind OF part
ner he desired and how much mon
ey he could put in as his share
Oh, anywhere from $1,000 to s10,i
000,' he answered.
Where did you get that much
money? ] asked, in greater surprise.
Oh the bank money-the $4,000
| stole, he exclaimed
Why, man, that isn't your mon
cyl told him.
Not my money! he cried, haven't
earned it by hard work in this pris
on these many yearST
And do you know" Mai. McClaugh-
ry said. that It was one Of the hard
est things ever undertook in all
my life to make that man see that
he was wrong-that the stolen mon
ey was still the property Of the bank
not his. and that the time he served
in prison was only punishment for
violating the laws made for the pro
lection Of peoples property. But he
did see it i. the right light at last
He turned every dollar Of the money
over to the bank, was generously re
warded by the man who had sent hin
to prison, and has since been a usefu
and honorable citizen"

Method Of Growing to Secure the
Proper Results.

The ordinary method OF growing
red clover is to cut the first crop as
soon as it is In fun bloom, and then
taking chances Of getting a seed crop
from the second cutting. This is gen
orally a chance and only a chance.
Frequently the condition Of the
weather and the press Of farm work
delays the first cutting until the heads
are all brown and sometimes dead;
and then, unless there is a very
favorable season, there is not time to
mature second crop before frost,
which sometimes happens in the lati-
tude Of central Iowa by the middle Of
September, earlier north and later
south, but generally not until about
October l. Immense crops are
sometimes grown In this way, but
after all It is a chance. When clover
seed is Ave dollars bushel or
under, the farmer will usually get
more clear money BY using this sec
ond crop for pasture; OK, II the season
is favorable, for roughage, by which
we mean second crop Of clover hay.
When clover seed rises to eight and
ten dollars, or, as this year, s14
bushel, It is worth while to take some
special measures to secure a seed
crop.
Two or three ways have been sug-
gested One is to pasture the first
crop until about two weeks before
It would ordinarily be cut, which In the
central portion of our territory would
be about the 10th Of June. This
while It will not insure a seed crop,
will make it much more certain than
the method usually adopted
When the acreage is small and the
farmer will give the time and atten-
tion which it requires, says Wallace's
Farmer, it is possible at least in the
southern Aalf Of our territory to take
a crop Of clover hay and add ten
or is days to the time allowed
for maturing the seed crop. The
ordinary methods Of curing this clover
hay will not be applicable at all It
contains too much water and will have
to be cured by curing il first in the
sun, stirring It frequently with the
tedder, then putting It UP In cocks,
putting on caps and letting It cure out
in the cock. The only question is
whether It is worth enough more for
hay than for pasture, and this will
depend on the condition prevailing on
the farm.

sTOVALL FAMILY FAMOUS
IN THE NATIONAL GAME
George, Jesse and Sam Prominent IN
Different Leaaues-All Three
Heavy Histers.

The record Of the Delehanty family,
with six brothers in professional base
ball-Ed, Jim, Frank, Joe, Tom and
Willie-probably win never be
equaled. There are many cases to-day
of two brothers in the game, the most
notable Of which are the Tannehills,
Jesse and Lee; the Hemphills, Charley
and Frank; and the Clarkes, Fred and
Josh. But beyond two the ability to
follow the game successfully seldom
runs in a family.
The Stovall brothers, who hail from
Burlington, Ia, are not only all in
professional baseball, two Of them In
fast company, but they are notable
for the fact that all three are heavy
hitters
George stovall, first baseman for
Cleveland, has hit better than ever
before, and his bat figured In a big
per cent. Of Cleveland's runs. He Is a
fairly good fielder and uses excellent

He was bought by Louisville, in the
American association, largely for his
hitting ability. as he had always
banged the ball hard for Detroit For
awhile he was played in the Louisville
outfield for his batting, but, being
called on to pitch. he showed that he
still had the goods, and is again reg
ular twirler.
Recently he pitched a no run, no
hit game against Minneapolis, a feat
with but one precedent in the Ameri-
can association, which is noted for its
sluggers. Major league managers, in
consequence, are again keeping tab on
Jesse.
Sam Stovall, right fielder Of the
San Antonio team, is one Of the lead

runs to his credit. He Is good field

RorATINe CROPS.
Such System Improves the Land In
Many Ways.

The rotating of crops improves the
land in several ways. One way is by
adding nitrogen to 1t, If leguminous
crops are grown in the rotation. It
is an error to suppose, however, that
all kinds OF fertility are added to land
by the rotations. The rotating has its
limitations, but with that understand
ing, 1t is good thing.
One advantage Of rotation is to
clean ont noxious weeds that may get
into the land in various ways Some
times a field devoted to the growing Of
wheat becomes filled with mustard
and other weeds injurious to the pro
duction Of crops Of commercial value.
Mustard is not weed except when ii
is out Of place.
Old hay meadows become 80 infest-
ed with worms that the hay crop is
often greatly reduced Changing to
some other crop for few years makes
It possible to eradicate the worms.
Wireworms especially can be gotten
rio of in this way.
There are other advantages OF ro-
tation that We perhaps do not under
stand at this time, says the Farmers
Review. Thus, sometimes certain
crops are rotated with each other and
show an increased yield due to rota.
ton, while the food requirements of
the crops are quite similar.
