Dry Farming Fruit.

Dry farm fruit promises to yield an
abundant crop this year In Colorado,
according to Z. r. Parsons. OF Parker.
Colo. one Of the most successful dry
farmers in that State Mr.. Parsons
created much interest in the subject
of fruit growing on non-irrigated land
when he described his orchard in an
address at the third dry farming con.
gress at Cheyenne. and has promised
to send an exhibit OF his dry farm
horticultural products to the inter.
national exposition Of dry farm prod.

The work Horse I'm summer.

Working horses from grass has
never been our way. although a great
many do Il and keep their teams in
very good fix. When there Is only
light work for a few days. our horses
have the run Of good pasture when
not In the harness. but most OF the
time they are In the barn. where they
get grain and bright hay three times
o day. Il seems to US they are better
able TO stand hot weather when on

they get grain and green grass for

Live stock and Prosperity.

Live stock is the chief element Of
agricultural prosperity. II Is the foun.
dation upon which both the preeent
and future profits are established. We
boast OF our great wheat and corn
crops. and We have reason for SO
doing. but II we depend upon them
alone We rob ourselves and our chill
dren by selling of the fertility of the
soil with each years crop. For many
years the soil will continue to yield
their crops. but they will get poorer
and finally fail unless they are fed.
How much better to make your farm
richer instead OF poorer: to get the
benefits OF the increased crops during
your own lifetime and then leave q
rich and valuable farm to your chill
dren after you have done with II.
Live stock will do II as nothing else
can.--Kansas Farmer.

1 have said that the whims of my
friend were manifold, and it was his
humor now to decline all conversation
on the subject of the murder until about
noon the next day. He then asked me,
suddenly, If l had observed anything
peculiar at the scene of the atrocity.
r There was some thing in his manner Of
emphasizing the word peculiar" which
caused me to shudder without knowing
why.
mo, nothing peculiar said; nothing
more, at least, than we both saw stated
In the papers"
The papers" he replied, have not
entered, l fear. into the unusual horror
of the thing. II appears to me that this
mystery is considered insoluble for the
very reason which should cause 1t to be
regarded as easy of solution mean for
the outer character of it's features. The
police are COMPOUNDED by the seeming
absence of motive-not for the murder it.
self, but for the atrocity of the murder.
They are puzzled, too. by the seeming
impossibility OF reconciling the voices
heard in contention, with the facts that
no assassin was discovered upstairs
though there were no means of escape.
The wild disorder of the room; the girls
corpse thrust with the head downward,
up the chimney; the frightsul murilation
eratious have sufficed to paralyze the po-
lice. They have fallen into the gross
but common error of confounding the
unusual with the difficult. In investga-
lions such as we are now pursuing II
should not be so much asked what has
occurred as w.t. has occurred that

Frenchman, there was much disagree
ment in regard to the shrill, or harsh
voice.
THAT was the evidence ITSELF said
Dupin, but it was not the popularity Of
the evidence. You have observed nothing
distinctive. Yet there was something TO
be observed. The Witnesses. as you re-
mark agreed about the gruff voice. But
in regard to the shrill voice. the peculiar
ity is-not that they disagreed-but that,
while an Italian, an Englishman, Span
lard, a German and a Frenchman at
tempted to describe II, each one spoke OF
it as that of foreigner. The Frenchman
supposes it the voice of Spanisrd. The
German maintains ii to have been that

1t the voice of German. The Spaniard
is sure ii was that OF an Engiishman.
The Italian believes 1t the voice of 9,

with the first is positive that it was an

but this indiscriminate and virulent abuse
of him I cannot see the justice of. He

He has brought on his devoted head the
wrath of the negroes. because he had so
strenuously endeavored TO punish an out
rage to a southern city. The mock heroics
OF the congress because the president in
timated that some of them might need
watching is really laughable when we
know OF the cunvicuon OF Mitchell and
the exposure OF Feraker, am the generaf
character of some of the representatives
and senators.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a Federalist OF the ex-
tremest type, but no more so than was
John Adams or Chief Justice Marshall
or our honored fellow-Georgian. Judge
Emory Speer. Il was TO be hoped that
career so brilliant and so creditabie
should END peacefully. Vulgar abuse by
a congressman who is in no danger OF

were no secret exits. Both doors leading
from the rooms into the passage were Sc
curely locked. with the keys inside. Let
us turn to the ehimneys. These, although
of ordinary width for some eight or ten
feet above the hearths win not admit
throughout their extent the body even OF

egress being thus absolute, we are reduc-
ed to the windows. Through those of the
front room no one could have escaped
without notice from the crowd in the
street The murderers must have passed,
then, through those OF the back room.
There are two windows in the cham

portion Of the other is hidden from view
by the head of the unwielcly bedstead,
which is thrust close up against 1t. The
former was found securely fastened from
within. 1t resisted the utmost force Of

II know not" continued Dupin, what
impression 1 may have made upon your

TO say that deductions even from the tes-

voices are sufficient to engender a suspi-
cion which should give direction TO ali

then, did the assassin escape? Let us
