The adoption of this resolution

took his seat in the prisoners chair.
The jury had preceded Johnson, and
when they filed into the jury boz,
there was several weary-looking faces
among them, some of which indi-
Gated that there had been quite a
heated discussion.
Nelson's face was drawn and
somewhat pale and pinched, and he
kept his eyes alternately on the
jury, watching intently for sign of
what was coming.
O. E. Jackson, as foreman of the
jury, handed a copy of the verdict
to Judge Stanton, whose face gave
no sign of the finding, and it was not
until Clerk Rhoda read the words

look relaxed. ~
Judge Stanton thanked the jury

had considered the case and dis

trespassed on county lands to the ex-
tent Of some three or four thousand
feet of timber and desired to pay

county supervisor of assessments,
scale the timber and make report to

Some complaint was made by
Chairman SDanaher to the effect that
the county attorney had failed to
approve several bonds, causing delay
in transacting business, among other
matters including the insurance on

so to do at the meeting last January.

FEET OF BIRDS AND BEASTS
uses They Put Them to and Failure
Of Fowls to Apply
Them.

Referring to birds and beasts with
standard feet, find that the first
outside purpose for which they find
them serviceable is to scratch them
selves. This is universal need. But
foot is handy in many other ways.
A hen and chickens, getting into my
garden, transferred a whole flower
bed to the walk in half an hour.
Yet a bird trying to do anything
with it's foot is like a man putting
on his socks standing, and birds as
race have turned their feet to very
little account outside of their orig
lnal purpose. Such simple thing
as holding down its food with one
foot scarcely occurs to an ordinary
bird. A hen will pull about cab
bage leaf and shake it in the hope
that a small piece may come away,
but IT never enters her head to put
her foot on it. In this and other
matters the parrot stands apart, and
also the hawk, eagle and owl; but
these are not ordinary birds.
Beasts, having twice as many feet
as birds, have learned to apply them
to many uses. They dig with them,
hold down their food with them,
fondle their children with them, paw
their friends, and scratch their enc
mics. One does more of one thing
and another Of another, and the feet
soon show the effect of the occupa-
ton, the claws first then the
muscles, and even the bones dwindl-
ing by disuse, or waxing stout and
strong. Then the joy of doing what
it can do well impels the beast
further on the same path, and it's
offspring after it.-Strand.

CHEER UP.

Don't be a crouch. If you have
the habit get out of it.
DR.. Charles Mccormick, address
ing medical society in Chicago, says
that a man who cultivates a crouch
is or will become an abnormal be-
ing. His mentality will become
warped, "and by the time his crouch
reaches an acute state he may pro-
perly be elassed as mentally unbal-
anced."
Moreover, when disease attacks a
person chronic ill-temper will prove
an obstacle in the way Of recovery.
Therefore, cheer up.

MissourianS should know that

information about unoccupied
lands, and can put land owners in
touch with land buyers. Don't

want to stay where you are now
located, look up some other loca-
ton in the State. Get in touch
with the immigration bureau by
writing to Commissioner John H.
Curran, Wright Building, ST..
Louis. He says there are
$4,000, 900 acres of unoccupied
and valuable land in Missouri,
suited to farming, stock raising,
fruit culture and gardening, and
located within two hundred miles
of big cities, along and closely
adjacent to good railroads, and

Governor Hadley wan.ed the
Legislature to empower the
board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners to compel the rail-
roads to give the people square
deal, but the Democratic ma
jority in the Senate, un'ler con-
troll of lobby of distinguished
Democrats, prevented such leg
islation. So the people of Mis-
souri, continue to pay the rail-
roads more for service rendered
than the same railroad companies
exact of the people of adjoining
States for similar and better SER
vice. Make note of this indis-
putable fact.

While Governor Hadley is quite
liberal, politically, he must not
be classed as an independent. He
is progressive Republican, who
believes in compact and loyal
party organization, and is dis
posed to accord his party organi-

times.

playing politics to build up po-

directing his efforts and activities
to the development of the wafer
