There can be no long felt or deeply
serious depression from financial panic
in a country whose agricultural pro-
duction is increasing at the rate of
$3O0,O00,O00 year. Nearly $S,O00,00
600 of new wealth was brought up out
of the ground in the year just coming
to close. or $50 per capita on basis
of 1oo. 100000 population-an increase
OF more than third of billion over
the the soil production of 1907. These
are farm values based on prices paid
the producer, and the increase has
come despite the fact that cotton and
hay, the second and third crops in i'm
portance, measured by aggregate
value, have experienced a heavy slump
in price as compared with the prices
prevalent year ago.

THE Too-cLEvER WOMAN.

Man unjustly accuses woman of en-.
Joying monopoly of vanity, when, as
matter of fact, no woman is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner of its assump-
tion on state occasions, but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes clever woman, but the very in
stant he suspects she is cleverer than
he, he takes fright. His vanity is
hurt. 1nasmuch as awe and love are
not given to rambling leafy lanes hand
in hand, and man in his superiority
likes to believe woman dependent upon
him mentally as well as for creature
needs, the woman who is really clever
will never allow her cleverness to OBJ
trude itself too strongly upon men.
Wit is good servant, but bad mas
ter. The girl who acquires reputa-
ton for putting on airs, or being
smart" is never popular among men.
The too-clever woman is handicapped
by her cleverness. 1t sometimes pays
to pamper foolish. egotistic man, and
use wit with discretion.

This country that laid the rails for

promotion is being looked to by the
douma for other assistance of the
same nature. A bill has passed the
parliament providing for the establish

ricultural agency for the purpose Of in
Producing American methods and ma
chinery. This is but another evidence
that America leads the world, and the
nations are sitting at her feet seeking
instruction in the modern art Of get
ging to the goal without going in cir
Gle. The American methods and ma
chinery in agriculture account for
much of the prosperity of the Ameri-
can people. Russia is doing good work
in seeking to introduce them for the
benefit of the vast rural population Of

The sad plight of an old couple
driven from the home they had given
to their daughter is pitiful testimony
to the heartlessness of children who
are humored, petted and pampered
into selfishness by indulgent parents
The daughter who turns her aged par
ents into the street is like the hus-
band who borrows his wife's glrlhood
savings and spends them on other
women. In each case the fault is in
fathers and mothers who permit their
children to grow up selfish. Parents
and wives who are tempted to sacri-
fee the little substance which guar
antees their independence should be-
ware. Love is blind, and there is dan.
ger in intrusting common sense to a
blind guide.

HAMS VERDICT
MANSLAUGHTER
JURY coNvIcTS ARMY OFFICER
WHO KILLED HIS WiFE'S
PARAMOUR.
FINDING UNEXPECTED
PENALTY MAY BE PRISON TERM
OF FROM ONE TO TWENTY
YEARS.

Flushing. N. Y.-Capt. Peter C.
Hams. Jr., U. S. A. faces prison
term of from one to twenty years. De-
spite the testimony submitted by the
defense as tending to show insanity,
he was convicted Tuesday of man
slaughter in the llrst degree for killing
William F. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club last August.
The conviction came as surprise.
1t had been expected that a verdict of
acquittal on the ground of insanity, or
a disagreement would result. No one
was more surprised than District At
torney Dewitt, who had said all he
could hope for was a disagreement.
Quickly following Hams conviction,
his counsel declared they would pro-
duce affidavits to show that the jury
had not been properly guarded during
the trial and upon this allegation will
seek new trial. These affidavits
will be submitted Monday, the time
set for passing sentence and for any
motion that the defendants counsel
desire to make. 2
There will, of course, be the usual
against the weight of evidence and
contrary to law, but the unguarded
jury feature is the only departure from
the stereotyped procedure looking to
new trial.
Daniel O'Reilly, of counsel for the
defense, said:
There was no evidence in this case
to warrant a verdict of manslaughter.
1t should either have been murder in
the first degree or acquittal on the
ground of insanity. The jurors were
permitted to roam about the country
in an automobile, and go right to the
verge of the scene of the homicide,
which is clearly against the law. We
will have affidavits to prove that such
is the case and also that the jurors
were permitted to leave the jurisdic-
ton of the county and have been on
government property at Fort Totten,
all of which will be urged as a ground
for setting aside the verdict"
Unlike the scenes attending the trial
of Thornton Hams, the defendants
brother, who was acquitted of COM
plicity in the same crime, there was
no demonstration in court when the
verdict was rendered.
After the jury was discharged, Ju-
ror Craft said four ballots were taken.
On the first three ballots six voted
for murder in the first degree and six
for acquittal on the ground of insan-
ity On the fourth ballot the COM
promise of manslaughter in the first
degree was reached
Little consideration was given to
the expert testimony, Juror Craft said.
They believed, he continued, that Mrs.
Claudia Hams had confessed to her
husband regarding improper relations
with Annis and that Annis deserved
his fate, but none of them would con-
slider the unwritten law and therefore
the manslaughter verdict resulted.
