to jackson, Tuesday, by Sheriff Chap
pell His sentence was that he serve
not less than two nor more than five
years at hard labor in the state prison

that be serve 21a years. The evidence
disclosed the fact that Wilson, who Is
man we'll along in years, had an extreme
fondness for the weaker sex, and that
he had at least four wives, besides his
"angel" wife, whom he remembered later
and OF whom he spoke with much ten
derness and feeling in his talk with the
court.
Don Mahoney OF Decatur was acquit-
ted of the charge of maintaining gam
ing room. He was arrested on the night
of the celebrated "poker raid" at Deca-
tur. and as a result of which several
young men pleaded guilty and paid fines
for gaming. The evidence did not sat
isfy the jury that Mahoney was the
keeper of the Joint"
Ellis Wright of Hartford was convict
ed on the charge of larceny. The evl-
depce showed that Wright appropriated
watch from the person of one Neil
Kline, also of Hartford, while at rattle
near Mcdonald last fall. Kline was
drunk at the time, and later Wright,
while in the same condition at the
Christmas festivities at Hartford, fell
ou the way home and dropped a watch
from his pocket which was identified as
the one Kline had lost.

Friday evening. Every member was
present if the rain did come down just

The Inquiry About Woodland.
In the inquiry concerning the amount
agitation during the past few years in
favor Of forest extension and conserva-
ton Woodland. owing to the early
abundance of natural timber, has until
recently attracted little attention. but
this no longer holds true for most parts
Of the country, as a dearth of all classes
Of timber products is approaching. The
single item of fence posts is very i'm.
p0rtant one in the sum total Of farm
expenses especially when the farmer
must buy them in the market. Farmers
have been advised, in case they have
woodland. to give it more attention and
prevent 1t from running ont; and, ii
they are not so fortunate as to have
natural timber to plant few acres Of
their farms to certain hardy and valu-
able trees, go that In time they may have
their own supply Of those wood products
required in daily use on the farm. A
basis for aseertaining to what extent
the farmers have acted on this advice
is being laid for the first time BY the
present census The increase in the list
Of inquiries concerning vegetables is evi
dence of the steady advance IN market
gardening and also of the growing inn
portanee which vegetables play in the
economy Of farm life. The American
farmer, despite the scarcity Of farm
labor and the pressure Of general farm
work. usually has an excellent farm
garden. The fact that ii has become
necessary specifically to list twelve in
place Of seven vegetables indicates the
belief that even in his farm garden the
farmer has made great progress in the
past ten years.
Game in this country has been grow
ing more and more scarce. and substi-
tutes for certain kinds have been earnest

"Come into the garden Maude,' sang he, ;
For he was much given to poetree; 5
And then Maude came and since that time s
He speaks in prose and forsakes all rhyme s
For Maude looked around that garden fair
And kept him working ten hours there.
She made him pull forty pecks of weeds.
She made him plant all her cabbage seeds.
She made him hoe
Row after row
OF 'tater h1lls-two dozen or SO.
She made him hitch up the garden hose
And water an acre OF sweet-pea blows
She made him take
Her brand-new rake
And scrape till his spine babe fair to break.
Despite his means
And his awful groans,
She made him gather five barrels of stones,
And squirt the patent old sporting machine
That kills off the bugs with Paris Green.
She made him fix
Seven dozen sticks
With netting to keep out the neighbor's chicks,
And mend the leak in the fountain pipe,
And taste tomato that wasn't ripe.
She made him push the lawn-roller about
Till his face frecked up like specked trout.
She made him prune
Half the afternoon
Till he cussed the Poet that wrote that rune.
She made him dig
Like hungry pig
A hole so deep, so wide and big,
An elephant might have been planted there,
While she bossed the job from swinging chair.
She made him tinker the garden wall
And snip the dead wood from hemlock tall.
She made him NOW all the nice lush lawn,
And lay out the lines for ten rows of corn.
She made him paint all the latticework,
And fill up holes where the woodchucks Turk,
And finish up by using his brand-new clo'es
To hang on a pole for to scare off crows.
And that is why that can't rehearse
The words he speaks when he hears that verse!
