 But how about the goose?" Judge Pugh interrupted.
 "Oh, the goose! My goose? Ah, yes" and the witness returned to the goose story. Why, the goose was badly injured"
 The injuries were minutely de- scribed.
 Springer emphatically denied that he had been cruel to the goose.
 "Nor any other goose, your honor. like geese" he asserted with vehe- mence. "They're fine birds to have about ones place."
 "The complainant is your neighbor, isn't her" Judge Pugh asked.
 He is" the defendant replied.
 The court ascertained that Doctor Bryant was defendant in a stone throwing case about week before with Springer as complainant.
 What did I do then, Mr. Clerk?" the court asked.
 Personal bond" was the reply.

of but S00 feet, is throwing it's water to d height of 125 feet.
 The fear that the artesian strata in southwest Texas might become ex- hausted through excessive demand is gradually making room for a more optimistic feeling. In several cases wells have been sunk to the same level within very small compass without affecting the flow of others. In one instance even the sinking of a second well on the same tract caused a gradual increase of flow in the older one. The explanation for this, as given by geologists to whose attention the matter had been brought, is that a greater demand upon stratum may ultimately result in a greater intake.
 The best illustration of this, per haps, is furnished by the water supply system of San Antonio. Although over 20 wells have been sunk to the same level within the confines of a city block, there has been no decrease in the supply.

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food ?
 The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's good thing that this is so, because he has great variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength.
 The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scien- tific men that the Quaker Scotch Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest men tai vigor
 Farmers should give this subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farm hands

Benefit in Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ- ation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Far mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn.,. said:
 Every city should have one or more outdoor school" He recommended such institutions for all delicate, so- called scrofulous or anaemic children, and those with tuberculosis of the bones, who are now in ordinary schools. Doctor Stoll declared that twenty or forty per cent. of school children in large cities are infected with tuberculosis. By the use of tu- berculin, it was ascertained that 79 per cent of the children from tuberculous homes were infected as against only 26 per cent. of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was also found that 50 per cent. of the frail children from healthy homes had the germs of the disease but that only 13 per cent. o the robust children from similar homes were thus affected.

FLOCK OF CHILDREN

Young man, to come into money when twenty-seven,. became acquaint- ed with a number of good-for nothing, "sponging" friends. Gave up friends.
 Miss Beattie, in dealing with doz- ems of cases like the above, has to be sympathetic, but firm and business like-that is the secret of her success.
 A mother called on her at St. Gle ment's inn. A week before this wom- ans only son had gone to a country town to learn a trade
 "She wanted him back again." said Miss Beattie, although the boy had a good career before him. For three hours we talked it over-mother's love versus common sense.
 "Then she went away, having de- cided that my views were at least the more practical. That Is part of my days work. Is it not interestingly"

One English Woman Successfully
 Manages 334 Children.
Miss E. E. A. Beattie, Employed by Government Trustee, Acts as Off ciaI Parent to Nineteen Score
 of Youngsters.

L0nGOn.-A woman who can Suc- cessfully manage and look after 3S4 children-a task few mothers would lke-has been discovered in London
 She is Miss F. E. A Beattie, the official mother" on behalf of the pub lie trustee, and her duties consist in attending to the daily wants and cares of the children whose financial affairs are in the hands of that official.
 While the public trustee sees that the money or property of the child is properly invested or managed (until he or she is 2D, Miss Beattie is the human" trustee-she attends to the happiness and creature comforts.
 Miss Beattie was seen in her neat, businesslike office at St. Clements inn. Instead of looking very tired and careworn-as one might reason ably expect-Miss Beattie was smiling and optimistic.
 My work is absorbingly interest ing" she said. Every day I have to solve some new problem of human interest, to decide a child's home or education or arrange hij or her fu- ture.
 Travels All Over England.
 Since Christmas I have travelled all over England, personally inspect ing my flock" or looking after chil- dren whose financial affairs are to be placed under the care of the public trustee.
 Naturally in interviewing parents, guardians, etc., one has to exercise a certain amount of tact and delicacy. One is also expected to possess an ex- pert knowledge on all sorts of out of the way subjects"
 Some of the every day duties of Miss Beattie are as follows:
 To decide a career for headstrong youth of seventeen.
 To persuade widowed mothers to let their sons go away from home to enter profession or trade.
 To keep a watchful eye on a child's home life and find out it's likes and dislikes. Severely to admonish un- kind or thoughtless guardians.
 Here are few of the human prob lens which this wonderful govern ment mother" has had to solve:
 A kind-hearted woman left settled sum of money to be invested for her five young nephews, but the mother of the boys wished to spend the money in her own sweet way, not car ing about the lads future. The money was successfully tied up and invested for the boys.
 Five young ladies, after the death of their father began squandering money and got into debt. Established them all comfortably in positions.
 Sixteen-year-old girl determined to run away to become a milliner" with out finishing education. She went back to school.

Vast Quantities Are Found by
 Sinking Wells Deeply.
Supply Shows No Signs of Exhaustion Despite Increasing Drain That Is Continually Being Put Upon It
 Perseverance Rewarded.

San Antonio, Tex.-That practically the whole of southwest Texas is un- derlaid with artesian strata, found at depths of from 600 to 2,000 feet, is be- ing established by the boring of a large number of wells now going on in every part of the country.
 Up to a few years ago the extent of the artesian areas was very problem atieal, and many failures were re- ported by well drillers. Failure of a man to bring in water as a rule con- demned a whole section. The theory held was that if a driller had struck no water at depth of about 1,500 feet he was not likely to strike any at all
 During the last two years, however, this theory has been proved to be an erroneous one. Several men who had reached the 1,500-foot level with no water in evidence decided to go down a little farther. Their perseverance was rewarded most generously, for another 300 to 500 feet tapped water carrying a stratum capable of sending 100000 gallons of the purest water through an eight-inch pipe.
 A rather odd feature Tn hydrostatics is being presented by this lower stra- tum, and that is that it throws it's water higher than the upper strata do.
 A well of very nearly 2,000 feet. in Dimmit county. is showing a head of nearly 40 feet, while several other in the vicinity, although only from 500 to 1,200 feet deep, are just plain gushers, exuding their water with no great show of force.

 Same way about being bald. Most men are bald because they don't wash Soap and water is a good thing in such cases. The time will come, says Dr. Zeisler, when 1t will be just as much shame to be bald as for a man to neglect his teeth until they fall out If your hair is falling out, look at your teeth.
