Orioin of Seals,

The origin of seals is lost In the
shades of antiquity. In Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins seals still are found,
and II is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Greece and
Rome, to all European countries ana
from England to America. Originally
they were set In rings. The earliest
references to them in Biblical history
is found In Genesis xxxviii, where IL
is recorded that. pending certain nego-
tiations between Judah and lamar.

learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab-

Keene. "Why does dog want an

HOW DRAGGING IMPROVES A ROAD
From Good Roads Magazine, New York;
a mile or two of road when the team
is already hitched to the drag that
usually go through the outside gate
and work up and down the public road
in front of the farm when | drag the
farm roads.
The longer ! keep my drag and use
1t on my roads the more | appreciate
1t. Mine is of the red split log type.
| made it of ten foot section of
twelve inch hickory log. split in the
middle. and on the front cutting edge
nailed some heavy sheet iron. 1t works
about as well as the metal ones, some
of which see occasionally.
| don't think it took me two hours
to make my drag, though did not
make it strictly according to the reg
ulation method as have seen drags
illustrated in farm papers. All of those
seemed TO have the two sections of log
put together by having three large
augur holes bored through them and
round wooden bars about two inches
In diameter put through to hold them
parallel and rigid.
did not have the large augur to
bore holes big enough for stout wood
en- bars, so merely sawed down into
the upper edges of each half of the
log at three places and split out the
blocks, leaving a place into which |
could put a piece of four inch scant'
ling. | cut three pieces of scantlnG
thirty six inches long and fitted them
into the cutout places and made them
fast by driving spikes six inches long
into them. The job seems to be as
solid as those made by boring holes
and putting the bars through. Some
people make their drags of plank. and
they do very well. but cost more and
will not stand hard usage so well As
the regular split log drag.
There is not. of course so great need
of the drag in summer and fall as in
winter and spring, but it is Il much
easier and pleASanter job to make 1T
taan. and. besides. if one dragS his
roads few times in summer and
gets them we'll graded up they will re-
main in coed shape far better than If
left inst as the summer hauling has
made them.
Moreover. on many farms there are
wet places in the roads that cannot
well be worked to advantage in winter
aud spring. If these are graded up
and drained in the fall they will no
doubt stay good all the time.
There Is another use | have seen the
drag put to that on some farms will
come in very handy. Quite Il good
many cattle owners find ii cXppdient
to pen up their cattle at night in sum-
mer. AS II rule. no straw or other bed
ding is thrown over the lot. ana the
manure remains on the ground and
dries out and on sloping ground is of
ten all washed away. | find that If
run the road drag over the cOWpen
occasionally | can scrape up several
loads Of the best kind of manure that
is we'll worth collecting and hauling
out to thin spots on the farm.

Later on-How to Mako a Drag
From Split Hickory Log.
On every farm where there is mile

ought to be road drag. With such
tool at hand any farmer can with lit
tie time and trouble keep his farm
roads in perfect condition.
Having large farm and over two
miles of roadway, ! have found a
homemade drag to be most useful
implement. OF course we can get

MONT CLAIR, n. J.-While the
two children of Edward Sonstrom
We're crossing the bridge over Toney's
creek they espied a big blacksnake
coiled as if about to spring on them.
Frightened, the girls turned to flee,
and accidentally dropped two quar-
ters given them by their parents.
One of the girls turned, and seeing
the snake swallow the money hur-
ried home, and Sonstrom, Selling a
club, found the snake and killed it.
Hoping to find the money he cut
open the snake. and not only recov-
cred the quarters, but felt like a
usurer when he was through. In
the provident and thrifty snake 8
midst were one half dollar, II quar-
tiers, nine dimes, Is nickels and two
pennies. The coins were stacked,
so as to be accommodated to the di-
minishing caliber of the snakes
purse. Mr.. Sonstrom has the snake
and the $4.92 to prove his claim.

GOVERNOR SUSTAINS WILL OF PEOPLE

ment wherein the commissioners
unanimously report that they de
cline to recommend clemency"
An examination Of the file shows
a letter from the trial Judge in which
he earnestly recommends that the
sentence be committed from death by
hanging to imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for life. 1t also shows let
ters from nine of the jurors before
whom Kellogg was tried. Each of
the jurors expresses his conviction
that his verdict was correct and
should stand. The other three Jurors
have not been heard from.
The prison commission in it's re-
port says:
1T must be taken for granted that
the presiding judge correctly submit
ted to the jury all the issues in the
case, and that his instructions to
the jury covered all issues, and that
the defendant had a fair trial"
After reviewing the evidence, ETC.,
the prison commission concludes:
Where a defendant appears to
have had fair trial, and all issues
submitted to the jury and passed
upon, with nothing appearing sub
seQuent to the trial that might have
materially affected the finding of the
jury, and thereby presenting excuse,
justification or mitigation of the
crime, the conclusion of the trial
court and the execution of the SEN
tence should not be disturbed. The
prison commission is not supposed to
n Of he e.
of the law, but rather to see it en-
forced with the safeguards here
noted"
To the above views | will add that
this case involves the unlawful use
of pistol, resulting in the murder
of a citizen in the peace of the state.
The jury, under our institutions. af-
ter advice by the judge as to what
acts constitute murder, found that
this defendant had committed muir

! the people, expressed at the ballot
box, must be obeyed so the will of

Furthermore, it is not intended by
the constitution and laws that the in
habitants of this state shall make of
it walking arsenal On the con-
trary, all who conduct themselves
peaceably must be assured immunity
from harm, and all who would COM
NIT crime must be forced to know
that they will suffer the prescribed
penalty. In no way can this i'm
munity be secured and this penalty

by the esta blishment of the fact that
