STATE OF MAINE.

Kennebec ss.-supreme Judicial Court,
Ralph W. Leighton VS.. American Royal
Circle.
Ralph w. Leighton, of Mt. Vernon, in
! the County of Kennebec, and State of
Maine, complains against, the American
| Royal Circle, a fraternal beneficiary as
soclation organized and existing under
the laws of Maine, and having an estab-
| lisEed place of business at Augusta in
said County and State, and says:
| First: That the plaintiff is the duly
elected attorney of said association and
is also a creditor of said association.
Second: That at legal meeting of the
Directors of said association held at said
Augusta on the second day of August,
1909, it was voted the Attorney of the
association be instructed to petition a
Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court
for the appointment of a receiver to wind
up the affairs of said association, there
being less than three hundred members
in good standing, and no agents in the
field.
Third: That at the present time there
seems to be sufficient assets to meet the
liabilities of said association, but that
the income of said association has ceased,
and that it would seem to be for the best
interests of all concerned that the af-
fairs of said association. be closed.
Wherefore the plaintiff prays:
First: That the said defendant cor
poration may be dissolved and terminated
and that some suitable person be APP
pointed receiver.
Second: That the Court may grant
such other and further relief as the ma
tufe of the case may require.
Third: That such notice of this bill
may be given to the defendant corpora
ton as the Court may see fit to issue;

RETALIATION FOR PAST ACTS

Caracas, via Curacao, Aug. 11.-Thc
systematic spoliation of the fortune
which Cipriano Castro left behind him
in Venezuela has proceeded with such
gigantic strides that after the first six
months the $5,000,000 of known assets
have been totally wiped out.
The method by which $1.000.O00 of
Castro's property was reduced to 500
600 and this paltry remainder then
taken away from him will probably be
revelation even to Castro himself,
who is now having taste of the same
medicine which he administered to the
Venezuelan people for so many years.
Castro owned $1.O0O.OOO of cigarette
shares, which had been given to him
rs his share in the promotion of the
cigarette trust. 4 few weeks ago the
directors of the cigarette company
sold the S5.000.0O0 concern to pri.
vate individual. Senor Garcia Guerra.
for S250.O0O. or just per cent of its
capitalized value, and Notwithstanding
that on the same day of the sale the
shares were quoted on the exchange III
- per cent premium.
The next step was the formation oi
new company. which took in all the
old stockholders except Castro. Then
there was issued an order by the com
mercial court to have the $5O.0OO.
which corrpsponded to the ) per cent
purchase price of the Castro stock. de.
posted in the Bank of Venezuela IL
the order 10 whoever might he the
holder of this block of stock. So in
one day S1,0O0000 of good money hc
came $4,000.
But the worst was vet 10 come. This
$4,000 was Immediately attached hy

The sequel of this story of "hi"l

with the Sl.O0O.0rO of cigarette shares
in his pocket. and he claims that thc>,
belong to him by virtue of purchas,

THE HorHousE HENHousE.

We don't know who originated the
greenhouse plan of building hen
houses.
Some fellow perhaps with a hotbed
or a hot head.
It's likely his radishes and lettuce
grew nicely under glass and he got
the idea that n glass top or front to
his chicken house would be Just the
stuff to make poultry thrive and eggs
multiply.
Wien he went out on a cold wintry
morning and found the whole glass
front covered with frost and his hens
combs frozen stiff he concluded that
too much glass isn't good for egg
plants. One of our friends has recent
ly put whole glass roof and front to
his henhouse. When the "beautiful
snow" gets on that crystal roof. if it
doesn't break down, there will GER
tainly be some leaking, and his roupy
chickens will do some squeaking.
The more glass you have the more
cold in winter and heat in summer.
There's an awful hot place down
below to which we don't intend to 20.
To get acclimatcd for that place one
need only tend hens in dollhouse
pen.
To keep healthy hens need comfort
able winter quarters where they have
pure, fresh air, and in summer they
must be kept cool as possible.
Don't use large. expensive glass, as
the panes are frequently broken, Leg
horns sometimes flying right through
them.
For light we find four double sash,
six SX10 lights to the sash, sufficient
for every forty feet of space, the
house being nine foot front, seven foot
back and twelve wide.
a great many have the windows too
high. They get little sunshine from
them, and on cloudy days hens cannot
see TO eat. Our windows are eight
inches from the cement floor, and we
find that just right for light, while the
hens enjoy the scenery when the
weather is unit for them to be out.
| In case this brings the sash down near
| the ground you must screen the lower
sash outside or rooSterS will fight
through the windows and crack their

BALLOON FLIES OVER ALPS.
The Sirius Traverses Mont Blanc From
Chamonix at Great Height.

ChamoniX. France, Aug. II. - The
balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying
over the Alps. 1t left here last Sunday
under the pilotage of Captain Spelte-
rini. who had with him three passen-
gers.
Fears were entertained for the safe
ty of the voyagers. but they landed
safely at point near Locarno at an
altitude of 5.40O feet. The four men.
however, still have IL dangerous path
to cover on foot from the place where
they landed into Locarno.
The Sirius travcrSed Mont Blanc and
scared over the Aiguille du Dru and
the Aiguille Ncrtc. The highest alti.
tude attained on the voyage was 5.G"
meters. This is equal to 1873 feet. ol
little less than three miles and Il
half.
After crossing Mont Blanc the wint
blew the balloon away from the plains
and up anon" the mountains. Beneath
was nothing but perpendicular walls
of rock and narrow gorges. Only five
sacks of ballast We're left. and to have
continued the fight would have meant
for the ueronauts to have lost them
selves in the labyrinth of ahySses.
NJ. Spelterini chose Il narrow ledge
at an altitude Of 1.S00 meters for land
inc. If he had missed it would have
meant death to all, but with marvellous
skill he brought the balloon down ant
landed at the edge of Il chasm. Herds
men saw the descent and ran to tn;
assistance of the aeronauts. The bal
loon was debated Just as Il storm

II do not know whether l will be

THAW DECLARES HE'S SANE.
Says Jerome Proved Him Rational
"Forty five Times Over"

White Plains. y. V. Aug. 11.-Reas-
serting his sanity, Harry X. Thaw has
issued a statement reviewing the evi-
dence given in his recent hearing on
his application for release from the
Matteawan asylum. He says:
THE best experts have informed me
that If any insane man was questioned
for twenty minutes as Jerome ques-
toned me he would assuredly show
his insanity. AS jerome kept this up
over fifteen hours in all during the
trial, he proved me sane forty-five
time over. for the alienists said any
twenty minutes during his fifteen
hours of wild and extraordinary ques-
tions would have settled any para
noiac.
st seems to me / must he perfectly
sane if hard headed, sensible men who
slept in the same room with me saw
me undress and 20 TO sleep and wake
up, then eat my breakfast, dinner and
supper and who took me up on the
mountains where l could have left
them miles behind had | not been
trustworthy.
These and many clergymcn, headed
by President Patton of Princeton and
ladies'. some of whom have known me
all my life, and bankers and manufac-
turers and police and prison keepers
accustomed to observing both sane and
insane men; also city clerks, editors.
farmers. lawyers and the ex-governor
of great state all find me perfectly
sane and none find anything irrational
ut all.
This seems to me to prove my sani-
ty ten times better than whether or no
could handle Mr.. jerome in four
teen and Il half hours debate on every
possible subject except the alleged de-
lusion. which he did not seem to want

insanitary, crowded quarters and
ought to have Il roost coop when they
are two or three months old.
Don't let them sleep with the old
chickens. They get henpecked, and
the red mites suck their blood.
You don't want crooked breastbones?
Well, make wide roosts. They'll
not get deformed on them any more
than on the dirty brood coop floor.
Put in an older chick to teach them
to roost or place them on the roost
yourself, and they'll soon get the habit.
