THE BOYS FLOCK.

The boy on the farm should be en-
couraged and not Cnampered in his eff.
forts at poultry keeping. With start
of but $40 with which to buy stock
or eggs a boy ten years old, of aver.
age ambition, intelligence and indus
try, can on the farm make this grow
into Va balance in the saving-s.-nk OF
at least $4,000 when he is twenty-one
By starting with, a flock of fifteen,
then increasing to twenty, then to
fifty, then to one hundred, and to two
hundred the last four years, he can
produce a profit for ten years which,
with compound interest, would seem
almost incredible. He can raise the
increase of stock from his profits on
the cockerels, and as few laying
hens should be kept beyond the second
season he can turn off onelhalf of his
flock each year on which there is
double that, if good thoroughbred
stock is kept, as there Is a good mar
ket at 81 each for the odd hens as
breeders when on learns how to mar
ket them.
Thus by raising a good number OF
young stock each year the profits are
considerably increased, as there is al,
ways a good market for surplus pull.

A WE'LL TRAINED HORSE.
A well bred horse is easily trained
to do just what his owner wants him
to do, which proves that blood tells,
There Is an instance of one owned by
G.. w. Chandler, of Massachusetts
This mare is named Nell, and is used
by him In the wood and coal business.
and this is what the horse does:
When in the morning she is hitohed to
her coal cart, first she walks nearly
an eighth of a mile to drinking fcln
tain, without any direction or assist
ance, and takes all the water she cares
for; then OF her own accord she goes
by another street to the railroad de-
pot, crosses the tracks. passes UP to
the sidetralck where the coalers are
and backs up to the car from which
her cart is loaded by the man in
charge. All this is done without any
assistance or direction whatever from
any human being. When in the morn
ing she is harnessed to carriage IN
stead of the coal cart she takes pre-
cisely the same action in going to the
fountain and drinking but then, in
stead of going to the railroad depot
she turns down the main street to the
Office, and wihinneys for her master
that she has arrived and is ready for
him.-Indiana Farmer.

SIX MEN SENT TO JAIL
BY SUPREME COURT
LYNCH|NG IS RULED CONTEMPT OF TRIBUNAL

view the proceedings was wired TO
Chattanooga, mob stormed the jail.
took the prisoner out, and lynched
him.
The court was much incensed h.,
the lynching. and at its instance the
attorney general Instituted proceed
ings against Sheriff Shipp. Jailer Glib
son and rs others supposed to have
been implicated in the lynching,
charging them with contempt. Many
of the accused were exonerated, and
in the end only six were found guilty
The finding of the court was an
nounced in May; just before the close
of the last term of court, but all the
defendants entered motions of re-
hearing, which had the effect of post
poning action until this fall. On
November 1 rehearing was denied.

Sheriff Is Blamed.
In investigating the case the SUI
preme court found that johnson was
removed from Chattanooga to Nash
vile before his trial. because of fear
that he would be lynched. He was
brought back for the legal execution.
When the supreme court stayed the
execution the court has held: Ship
made no effort, and gave no orders,
to have the deputies or others guard
the Jail, but left the night iailer, Glib
son, there alone. That evening a
white male prisoner was removed
from the upper floor of the jail, leav-
ing only Johnson and white woman
on that floor. The court pointed ont
that this same man had been renewed
in the same way at the time of the
first attempt to lynch Johnson, which
had been frustrated by the removal of
the negro.

the trial Judge and the prosecuting at

court held he did not seek to obtain
information SO that he could identify
any of its members.
The court in finding Shipp guilty
commented on a published interview
alleged to have been had with Shipp.
THE people of Hamilton county were
until it became known that the case
would not probably be disposed of f. !
four or five years by the supre me
court of the United States.' 1t quoted
Shipp as saying. But the people
would not submit to this, and l dc
not wonder at it,"
