acres of land. all under good culti-
walton. From last years crop there
was over 10000 bushels of corn
gathered, besides several hundred
dollars worth of tobacco sold.
Life on farm is certainly stirring,
especially to one who has lived in
the city for over so years. Then to
see ten or twelve teams going and
coming from sunrise to sunset, gath
ering in the produce from the sum-
mer's work.
One among the attractions here is
large fish pond, with several sorts
of fish and another pond stocked
with the dainty bullfrog--just hun
dreds of them. Then last fall there
was continual stream of hunters
on the farm during the bird season.
Now, would say in conclusion
that the dear Old grandmother is
quite entertaining. She clearly re-
members when the wolf, the deer
and the wildcat were as common
here as the dog is now. She remem-
bers clearly the HALEY comet Of '35
that we are expecting now soon. She
also remembers the falling of the
stars in '32. One has no chance
whatever to get dull in her presence
and she still takes deep interest in
all farm work and also in the news
of the day. She has one daughter,
Mrs. Bob Cromwell, who celebrated
her 5Oth wedding anniversary last
March, and one son over 10 years
old, now in his usual good health.

HORRIBLE HAzINC
OF A FRESHMAN
AS a Result an Edgewood
High School Boy May Die
Of Gangrene.

Cranston, R. l., Sept. 19.-As the
result Of hazing by upper classmen
at the Edgewood High School. Max
well Harrison. the fourteen year. old
son of the Rev. Zacharah Harrison,
pastor of the Second Free Baptist
church, a freshman in the school, is
so seriously injured that he is not ex-
pected to live.
From the story of young Harrison,
it appears that Tuesday night he was
waylaid by a dozen hazers. who
dragged him to the entrance of the
box Of the school furnace and showed
him in bodily. He fell about eight
feet and as he fitted tightly inside
the shaft he was unable to climb out.
Although suffering severe pain from
the injuries caused by his fall, ne
crawled and wormed himself
through the long, dark air tunnel,
which passed under the floor of the
basement, only to find himself
against the CRATE of the burning
furnace. Being unable to turn
around in the confined space, he suf-
fered terribly from the heat, until
the hazers were finally able to res
cue him.
Young Harrison was taken to his
home, and six stitches were taken to
close wounds in his right leg. The
boy then was sent to the Rhode
Island Hospital. He is suffering
from a broken right leg. a badly
lacerated knee cap and several burns,
and it is feared that gangrene may
set in.

LONDON, June 5.-Spanish prisons have

mates of the central prison of Madrid

much SO that Senor Salillas, the governor

PRAISE FOR JUDGE THAYER.
New Jurist of Chinese Court Wins
Popularity at Shanghai.

A man at Shanghai, writing to friend
in Washington. has this to say concerning
Rufus II. Thayer. judge of the United
States court for China:
PERSONALLY l like the new judge, and
in this certainly echo a general sentiment
Of the community: and. in fact. of every
one who has met him, even formally. l
can well understand the wherefore Of the
Washington sentiment regarding him.
When he first arrived in Shanghai the
cOmmunity'S attitude toward him was
purely receptive and somewhat critical.
The community, through its press instru-
mentality, was slow TO commendation.
'tIt was some weeks after his arrival
before the American Association organ
lied a public reception for him and Mrs.
Thayer. But in those few weeks both
he and Mrs. Thayer had won through
the suspicion OF our nationals and the re-
serve of other nationals so completely
that the reception became largely an in
ternational affair, with a most representa-
tive gathering of Americans as joint
posts.
This has been the only public affair
given Judge Thayer which might serve as
gauge to his standing here. But per-
haps the best and safest index to a solid
popularity is to be found in the readiness
with which the doors of the innermost
sanctum of the local social circle, which
pTiueS ltSelI SofHeWfdL justly upon It's
eXclusiveness, have been open wide both
to Judge and Mrs. Thayer through sheer
force of their magnetic personalities.
Socially Judge Thayer has already won
prominence. In this, of course, Mrs.
Thayer has had no small part. She is
popularity voted altogether charming.
In his work here Judge Thayer has
proceeded with extreme caution, some
what to the chagrin of certain local
friendly interests. Personally l believe
he has been wise and diplomatic.
In his admission to the bar of GER
tain lawyers formerly rejected by Judge
Wilfey he has succeeded In giving a
favorab BILE impression Of fairness. His
method of throwing upon the local Ameri-
can bar the burden of judging the pro-
fessional qualifications of the applicants
was worthy Richelieu.
He has been a hard student since his
arrival of local conditions and surround
ings as bearing upon his work / think
his policy will be to avoid radicalism in
any degree. In many ways he seems to
realize the highest ideals as successor
to Judge Wilhey."

Hugo Chaser, secretary to the German
consulate, died Thursday afternoon at 80
o'clock at the Sibley Hospital. following
an operation which had been performed
upon his upper lip. Mr.. Chaser, who was
thirty-four years of age, had his upper
lip removed three years ago, because of
an accident Since that time he had lived

which might result in the formation of a
substitute lip. He consulted DIR. Frank

told him that he would undertake the
operation.
Chaser was taken to the Sibley Hospital,
where the operation was performed last
Thursday morning. The physician left
the institution believing that the patient
would soon recover. but was shocked in
the afternoon to hear that Chaser had
died from shock.
The German consulate was informed Of
the death of Glaser and word was tele
graphed to his home in Germany. The
remains were later removed to the un-
dertaking establishment of Frank Geier' S
Sons, 1113 7th street northwest, to be
prepared for burial.
