EradlcatInu Weeds,

In many sections of the West when
the weeds get too large for the har-
row, farmers use what is known as a
slicker. The details of construction
are shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
The slicker is usually about twelve
feet wide, with four runners. The run
ners are made of by or by inch
scantling. Boards are nailed on top
of the runners. An iron five-eighths
of an inch in diameter is fastened at
the back of the runners, so that it
drags In the soil one to two inches
below the surface. A thin bar of steel
as long as the width of the imple.
ment, about two inches wide and

used instead of the iron rod. The bar

TRAIN GIRLS FOR MOTHERHOOD

Prof. Scott Nearing, Of Pennsylvania,
Says Mereenary Marriages
Make Children Bad.
Philadelphia Advocating the
training of women In the duties Of
motherhood, Scott Nearing. professor
OF economies in the University Of
Pennsylvania, said in q lecture In
Swarthmote College that one-eighth
of all modern children possess crimi-
nal tendencies, because their moth
ers are educated for q mercenary
marriage instead Of motherhood"
Professor Nearing. who got into the
limelight recently through his out
spoken ideas for limited race suicide
and oposition to women teachers In
the public schools, spoke on "Pracu-
cal Economical Questions"
"One Of the flrst steps," he said.
will be to train our coming women
In the duties Of motherhood. This
should come before all occupations,
because 1t is the most important oc-
cupation Of the women Of to-day from
race standpoint
Modern girls are usually eoucStoo
FOR a mercenary marriage. but never
for motherhood. In view Of this fact
one-eighth OF our modern children
have criminal tendencies. We do not.
as Colonel Roosevelt says, need more
children. We need better children.
Girls should be taught the most I'm
portant social facts concerning the
health, the responsibilities Of mother
hood and how to meet thom. Mother
hood ia regarded BY some-and should
be regarded by alias the highest,
most sacred and most important OF
womanly callings."
Touching ON fatherhood ~ being
equally important. Professor Nearing
said that the proper training Of pros
pective papas is being sadly neglected
also. He said a mans duty to his
family did not end when he furnishes
the income. Because OF his contact
with the outs de world he has a
broader view OF life, and he should
train his children to get the right
viewpoint.

A pulley is fitted inside to the top
Of the building, and hoisting rope is
passed over it. The hanging bar is
fastened to the rope by two spreading
ties, so that 1t will not easily tip when

the whole is hoisted to the cleats,
when the bar is swung around so that
the ends rest upon the cleats. The

Found Lying Drowned In a Brook
with Their Horns Locked.
Collinsville, Conn,-With horns
locked two large buck deer were found
lying in a brook in wooden and un'
frequented section of North Canton by
partridge hunters. The torn and
trampled turf close by the stream
gave evidence of the terrific death
struggle in which the animals had
been engaged before they fell into the
water and drowned. 1t was the opin.
ion of the game warden that they had
been dead one day.
Deer have been frequent in the town
during the last six months.

JOHN SHARP ON STAND
TESTIFIES THAT CARMACK
FREE FIRST SHOT.
Under Cross-Examination by Gen.
Garner the Witness Becomes
Much Confused.

Nashville, Tenn.-John Sharp was thu
second witness introduced by the defens'
Monday and is the second defendant wht
has testified. His testimony is not 81
important as that of Robin Cooper, no
was it as well given. Mr.. Sharp was no
nearly so well possessed, nor was he 81
calmly sure of his facts. Under the har
assing smart of cross-examination, h
became a little confused. Mr.. Sharp wal
merely corroborative in his testimony
He was in the dark as to the occurrence:
Immediately preceding the tragedy, hav
ing been out of the city. He knew that
there was i'll feeling between Senator
Carmack and Col. Cooper, but nothing
more. When Robin Cooper said to him
to hurry papa up for he did not want
HIM to meet Senator Carmack, witness
said he believed that it was to prevent
an alteration between the two, but
nothing more. When Col. Cooper ex'
pressed a determination to see Carmack,
witness said he turned north on Seventh
avenue, not desiring to be present at an
unfriendly conversation between the
two. Walking a little distance, he said
he changed his mind and returned. He
was afraid hat there might be a more
serious trouble, and he thought it best
to be with Col. Cooper if there was. He
returned too late, hostilities had opened
He stopped where he stood, slightly ele-
waited above the participants. He watched
the different maneuvers and saw the
shots fired, and it was his story which
corroborated the story of Robin Cooper,
in nearly every detail.
During the vigorous cross-examination,
which was conducted by Gen. Garner,
the fiber of. the man stood an awful
strain. Gen. Garner gushed like a foun-
tain open. He pursued an insinuating
and seductive line of cross-examination,
and little admissions of the defendant
were s~ignifyingly amplified and expand
ed under the formulating influence OF
his questioning.
Sharp several times became confused,
and his testimony did not carry the
weight that would have otherwise ac-
it. He grew uncertain as to
particular points, but when he finally
lost his temper he gathered his faculties
and ended in much better shape. He
was a good witness for the defense from
the fact that he substantially corrobo-
rated every statement made by Robin
Cooper relative to the actual tragedy
and the scenes which transpired at that
time.
The great surprise of the defense was
in the introduction of Sharp as an eye
to contradict Mrs. Eastman. He
went on the stand at 11:30 and was
at S o'clock.
