b. T. Young, of this city who drives soda pop wagon and has amassed some little property was the defend ant in a peculiar action in the County court yesterday afternoon. He was arrested on an affidavit sworn out by B. F Fitzhugh, relative, who alleged Young is insane.

They admitted he made the threats only when angry. One brother was particularly bitter in his testimony and if was shown he and the defend- ant had a fight when boys and had never become reconciled. Young when placed on the stand, claimed the others were trying to get hlm put where they could get his property.

WAS AFRAID OF BANKS

Mammoth Spring, Aug. 23.-Aunt Kate Williams has no faith in banks and in consequence she is today about $3, 900 poorer than she was yesterday and the authorities are trying to rnn down two of the boldest thieves that ever operated in this community.
 About midnight last night, two un- known men appeared at the home of Bob Griffith, on Eminence Hill, where their horses, so they might make ] a visitor.
 Mrs. Williams is a lone widow, g. years of age, and almost blind.
 Only one of the men went inside the house, however, the other staying outside on the lookout and to hold their horse, so they might make 9 speedy getaway after the robbery, which appears to have been carefully planned beforehand
 Money in Black Leather Grip.
 Ten years ago Mrs. Williams lost sS,400 by the failure of the Bank cf Mammoth Spring, and since tha, time she had had no faith in banks ant could not entrust them with her money, considering it safer in her own custody.
 She always carried her money with her. It consisted of silver, pape;. and gold, and when she retired last night this was deposited in it's usual rete,- tacle under her pillow.
 Last Saturday some unknown per son called up the Griffith residence on the telephone and asked if Aunt Kate Williams was there.
 MT. Griffith answered the telephone and iformed the inquirer that she was there.
 Mrs. Williams vas sleeping in a rear room of the house. She was dis furbed by the man as he was search ing for the money he evidently knew that she carried, and cried out:
 Who are you and what do yoa wanJ?''.
 As he had already found the black bag with the hoardede treasure, he oed from the room, passing through the front room, in which MT. and Mrs. Griffith were sleeping.
 AS the thief entered the apartment he found the two sitting erect in bed, as they had been awakened by the dis turbance, and gruffly ordered them 10 lie down.
 The thief had already secured S1o or $20 belonging to MT. Griffith which was in his pants thrown carelessly across trunk at his bedside.
 Scattered Cayenne Pepper.
 Before Mir. Griffith could intercept the thief he had disappeared through the front door, scattering cayenne pepper on his trail to throw any that might be put on the rail of the scent.
 He then mounted the waiting horse and the two thieves rode rapidly awa-.
 Mr. Griffith said that he identified he voice that ordered him to lie down IS the same that called over the tele- phone Saturday.
 1t is suspected that the thieves live 1ear here.

LEAF DIET KILLS
 CATTLE IN SOUTHWEST
Many Cattle Dying From Eating Oak LeaveS-Recent Troubles Recalled.

The stockmen grazing their cattl' on the National Forests in the South west, especially in Colorado and New Mexico, have suffered serious losses during the past summer through the cattle eating oak leaves.
 In that section of the country the season has been unusually dry and grass extremely scarce. seek out the scanty forage supply, the cattle have browsed heavily on the scrub oak which covers portions of the range. Ordinarily the stock does no: browse much on the oak and the lit tie they do get, taken with the other food, is not injurious, but when, as in the present season, the oak browse furnishes large proportion of the daily food of the cattle. the results are serious.
 The oak leaves and sprouts contain a large percentage of tannic acid food so it will not be forced to eat the oak, it will generally recover. The best method, of course. in handling the trouble is. if possible, to get the cattle away from the range where the oak is found and furnish them with plenty of fresh green feed to build up again.
 Local Trouble Recalled.
 The above story which was sent by the Forestry Department at Washing ton, D. c. recalls the recent loss of eighty head of cattle, which died on the w. w. West place near Humphrey this county, from what the veterarian classed as "lmpaction" The new disease was caused by the cattle eat dry, stringy grass, which had been completely destroyed by the drouth The action of this acid on the stomaca is extremely injurious and the losses have been unusually severe. Tn, symptoms of the diseases are starin; eyes. feverish and blistering lips ant nose, the animal ceases to graze o seek for food, standing in one plac for hours at time The coat become rough and the hair is all turned tn wrong way, as in cases of loco poison ing. The animal does not chew it cud and in comparatively short tim it become to weak to remain on it feet and death rapidly follows.
 So far as it is known the only avail able remedy for this trouble is lir seed oil given as a drench in amoun from one to two quarts. The oil al pears to over come the injurious e fleets of the tannic acid and if u disease is not advanced too far al the animal can be furnished sufficel

THE GRATEFUL GARDEN

In the garden all day long,
Hard at work with spade and prong,
Scratching, scraping, digging deep,
Waking nature from her sleep;
Watching then with tender care
When the drought Is in the air,
Taking out refreshing drink,
Lest its fainting spirit sink.
Driving harmful things away;
Wedding ceaselessly by day,
Lest the tender sproutings choke
Meath their CALLING, killing yoke;
Morning, noon, by day and night,
Holding It in loving sight,
Cared for as a child would be
BY a mother, tenderly.
Then, when summer comes, how sweet
Is the gratitude we meet,
When the garden smiling stands
With her gifts in outstrteched hands!
Roses, pinks and hollyhocks
Mignonette and golden phlox,
Heliotrope and lilies fair
She returns for all our care!

Southern California Celery

Few realize the value of the celery
crop of Southern California, and few
are aware of the large amount of this
appetizing relish that is shipped to
the eastern market at this season of
the year.
The Southern California product
stands high in the celery class on ac-
count of crispness, sweetness and jul
ciness and the good size of stalk. As
to shipping qualities, it has no equal.
Our celery is now going to the east
ern market and will continue to be
shipped until after Easter time, and
the demand this season is greater than
usual on account of the Michigan and
Ohio crop being below the standard.
An estimate of the Southern Califor-
mia crop this season is placed at 1000
cars, which is a fair estimate, when
one stops to consider that celery grow
ing for commercial purposes Is yet in
it's infancy. However, this Southern
California industry has made rapid
strides as compared with Michigan,
where celery has been grown for the
past fifty years. where thousands of
dollars have been expended in the
draining of lands and making ready
the thousands of acres of land now
devoted to celery growing.
About 5000 acres are now devoted to
celery growing in Southern California,
and the crop this season will average
seven to eight hundred dozen to the
acre. This gives a return of about
$3.50 to the acre.

Wonderful Rock Garden

The largest rock garden In England
is that of Sir Frank Crisp at Friar

duction of the Matterhorn on scale OF
about three acres. Seven thousand
tons of limestone were brought from
Yorkshire to make it.
The snow-capped peak Is represent
ed by quartz Below it are thousands
upon thousands of Alpine flowers grow
ing in the pockets between the rocks
and filling every chink in the trans
that ascend the mountain. There must
be 200 different species in bloom at
once. ,s,,
At the base of the mountain says
Country Life in America, is minla-
tire Swiss chalet, where one may SIT
and enjoy the scene, comparing all
the main features with little bronze
model of the Matternhorn which Sir
frank has made for the entertainment
of his guests. A brook crosses down
the mountain side. and just before II
reaches the chalet 1t forms pretty
cascade, and then spreads out at your
feet into a miniature lake decorateo
with pigmy water lilies and rlchly
margined pinks, primroses, gentians
and other alpine flowers
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

The cultivation of flowers is of all
amusements of mankind the one to be
selected and approved as the most in
nocent in itself, and most perfect y
devoid of injury or annoyance to 9TH

ducive to health and peace of mind,
but probably more good will has arisen

horticulturist are harmless and pur ;;
a streak, a tint, a shade become his
triumph which, though often obtained
by chance, are secured alone by morn
ing care, by evening caution and the
vigilance of days; an employ whi n,

TO JUDGE DISTANCES

If you devote your Saturdays to
going shooting or taking photographs
you have, in all probability, met the
problem of judging distances.
Bear in mind these few simple rules
and your difficulty will be lessened.
With the naked eye, if you have aver
age sight, you can see the whites OF
peoples eyes at thirty yards; at
eighty yards you can Just see their
eyes. When all parts of their body
are distinguishable they are 100 yards
away: when the outlines of their faces
are lust visible the distance is 200
yards, and when a face appears as a
separate dot you should be 400 yards
away. Six hundred yards away a
group of people can be distinguished
singly, but at farther distance than
this no detail of the human form can
be determined. Yet at 1900 yards you
should be able TO tell a man on morse
hack from a man on foot; at 1000 yards
ne is simply dot on the landscape
The majority of people, too, are un-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

able to determine the winds velocity.
When the smoke from a chimney
moves in a straight, vertical column it
means that a one to two-mile an hour
breeze is blowing. A three-mile an
hour wind will just stir the leaves on
the trees. Twenty-Five miles an hour
will sway the trunks; at forty the
small branches will break, and it takes
a mile a minute gale to snap the
trunks Of big trees.
