Don't Tell the Butterflies.
From the Chicago Post

We commend to the bookkeepers OF the
Illinois river valley the discharge OF a
plain duty. The early rains. we are told.
followed by the long dry spell Of the clos
ing summer, took the nectar out of the
clover and flowers from which honey Is
made. AS a result the unfortunate little
bees now are facing a hard winter with
wholly insufficient supply of food stored
away In their hives. They should be
fed by the farmers for whom they have
so faithfully worked during the fruitful
seasons Of the past. And, more important
still, their little misfortune should be
tenderly concealed from butterflies, grass
hoppers and other VIGOROUSLY lazy and
improvident insects. For If it shall be-
come commonly bruited about that the
bee, symbol of labor, has not been able
to earn enough by summer Of industry
to keep himself alive during the winter.
we fear that work among the hexapods
will be off forever Central Illinois owes
It to our whole system OF business ideals
to conceal the failure of the hard worker

SECOND WOMAN EVER
TO MEET SUCH DEATH
Crime Committed Last April Was One
of the Most Brutal in History of the
Country-Husband Now Under Sen
tence for Same Deed.
Associated Press.

Auburn, N. Y, March 29.-Murmur
ing prayers for her SOUL Mrs. Mary
Farmer was led to the electric chair
in the Auburn prison shortly after c
O'Clock this morning and executed for
the murder of Mrs. Sarah Brennan, of
Brownsville, n. Y, last April.
Mrs. Mary Farmer is the second
woman to meet death in the electric
chair. The crime for which she was
executed and for which her husband,
James d. Farmer is also under sem
tence of death was the murder of Mrs
Sarah Brennan, a neighbor, in the viii
lage of Brownsville Jefferson coun-
ty about four miles from the city of
Watertown, on Thursday, April 23,
1908. The body of Mrs. Brennan was
found on the following Monday in a
trunk owned by Ms Farmer and in
her possession. Mrs. Farmer and her
husband We're given separate trials,
and although the evidence was circum-
stantial, both were convicted and SEN
fenced to be electrOcuted. Mrs. Farm
er's counsel attempted at the trial to
establish that she was insane and IT.
} responsible for the crime. but the court
of appeals declared that it was "clear-
4y deliberate and intentional act"
and that there was no circumstances
that "mitigated against its heinous-
ness"
Mrs. Farmer came to this country
from Ireland in 1900 and worked for
time as a domestic in Binghamton,
going from there to Buffalo, where she
married James D. Farmer in 1904.
Early in 1905 they moved to Browns
vile, where they remained for few
months at one of Farmers relatives,
after which they kept boarders in an
adjoining village. In May, 1907. they
moved to a portion of an old build
ing formerly used as a hotel in a
part of Brownsville known as Paddy
Hill.
Mrs Brennan and her husband, Pat
rick. lived in a house near by, which
they had occupied for twenty years,
and which was owned by Mrs. Bren-
nan. Mrs Farmer became a frequent |
caller at the Brennan home, and Mrs. !
Brennan occasionally called on the
Farmers. Mrs. Brennan kept the deed
to her property, insurance papers and
