 Several men in the employe of Stout sought to stop him, but were driven away by Stout. who continued pound ing Risheson until life was extinct. He then looked at the dead man couple of minutes, unhitched one of the horses from the mower, mounted it and rode here where he detailed what he had done and surrendered to the sheriff
 During the trial Stout did not deny the murder, but sought to show it was committed while he was laboring un- der temporary spell of insanity. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter and he was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment.
 Before taken to the penitentiary Stout sold all of his property for $5.000 Out of this he paid his debts, aggre-

WHAT BECAME OF THE BUTTON
Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved Her to Be True Daughter
 of Eve.

Loie Fuller, the noted dancer, told at luncheon story about her class of dancing children.
 "I gave the children Christmas party last year" she said, and when the pudding came on I said to them:
 " I have put in this pudding coin, a little china doll and button. Who ever gets the coin will be rich. Whoever gets the doll will be married before the year is out. But whoever gets the button will be an old maid
 Well, the pudding disappeared rap idly, and the little girls soon found the coin and the china doll. But the button did not turn up. No one got the button. This amazed me.
 That night l said to my favorite little girl, as We sat alone by the fire in my room:
 "I cant understand what became of that button. put it in the pudding myself
 I'll tell you the little girl con- fessed, turning rosy with confusion. dot the button. But 1 didn't want everybody to laugh at me-tho I thwallowed it.

Euler to Get Recognition.

A subscription has been opened in Switzerland for the purpose of print ing and publishing the mathematical remains" of Euler, the savant, whose name is familiar in connection with various recondite mathematical formu- la, says the London Globe. It is fitting that some such tribute should be paid by his native country. for the Univer- sity of Basic was foolish enough to re- ject him as professor, and he had to go first to Russia and afterward to Prussia in order to find scope for his abilities.
 In the former country he was noted for his taciturnity and was asked the reason of it. He replied that in Rus sia a man could only open his mouth at the risk of being hanged by the neck.
 His posthumous papers are so numerous that it is computed that the production of them will cost s12.000.

When I first began to have them I weighed 40 pounds, but they brought me down to no. 1 went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief So I suffered on, till one day woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said looked like was coffee poisoned. <
 ''So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not so fast as at first. My headaches be- gan to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks - long enough to get the coffee poison out of my system.
 Since began to use Postum can gladly say that never know what a. neuralgia headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me we'll.

Nantucket's Biq ScalIop Catch.

All records in the history of the scal- Top fishery are being broken. The daily shipments to Boston and New York markets have averaged more than 700 gallons.
 The seectmen placed a limit of six bushels per day per man, which was considered a very good days work under average prices, and limit which would assure protection to the industry.
 More scallops have been discovered about the island than even the most sanguine of the fishermen predicted. On the north side of the outer harbor the shellfish are lying in heavy win drows. free from seaweed, and the fishermen frequently go out and gath CT their six bushel limit inside of two hours. Few of them have to work more than half a day to get their share of the harvest.
 The scallops are much larger and in better condition than ever. The average size in years past has been two inches across the narrowest part of the shell, but the scallops taken this year will average nearer three aRl three and one-half inches, and the 'eyes" are the size of a quarter.

Torpedo Boat Goqqles.

On account of the high speed at tained by the new torpedoboat de- stroyer, the Flusser, a somewhat re- markable innovation has been intro duced in the equipment of naval off, cers: It is fur helmet fitted with goggles, not unlike those used by au- tomobilists.
 This innovation was found neces- sary not only on account of the high speed of the Flusser (S2 knots per hour), in which the eyes and face are in danger of injury from the cutting wind and hard-driven spray, but also as a protection against the sparks from the smoke-stacks, which are low lying If the experiment proves sat isfactory it is probable that all off cers on similar craft will be supplied with these helmets. The Flusser is now at Annapolis.

u.o ronorts from the grain fields of r.n,ral Canada, (which comprises the ,sarinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan .a AIberta) are to hand. The year mt mo has not only kept pace with pre- .ous years in proving that this DOT ,sn m of the Continent is capable of soducing a splendid yield of all the mailer grains, but it has thoroughly lutotripped previous seasons. There ouantity, quality and price and from (u narts of an area of about 320,000 ouare miles there comes the strong afrain of contentment and satisfac- ;or In the distribution of the con ;tions causing it no district has been overlooked.
 Various estimates of the total yield wheat for the country have been bade. but it is not the vast total that bauences the general reader so much c what has been done individually. Inc grand total--say 130 million bush ,s-may have it's effect on the grain rice of the world; it may be interest bg to know that in the worlds mar ets the wheat crop of Canada has |,ddenly broken upon the trading oards. and with the Argentine, and |ith Russia and India. is now fac br in the making of prices. If so to- Ry what will be its effect five or ten pars from now, when. instead of here being seven million acres under Ion with a total yield of 125 or 130 Million bushels, there will be from IT ] 30 million acres in wheat with a cid of from S25 to GOO million bush $. When it is considered that the srgest yield in the United States but lightly exceeded TOO million bushels, Ae greatness of these figures may be bderstood.

The First AeropIane.

The earliest effort to construct a ma chine which, according to modern ideas, is entitled to be called an aero plane, was undoubtedly that of Will liam Henson, in 1S42. Henson. who was practicing engineer with offices in New City Chambers, Bishopsgate London, devised a machine which re- sembled very closely the type which has since been termed the monoplane that is, having it's supporting planes practically forming stage deck, as distinguished from the box form of the biplane and multiplane devices of later inventors There was an ex- tended supporting surface, beneath which was attached car, carrying an engine driving pair of propellers. A tail carrying additional horizontal sur faces served for vertical steering, and beneath this a rudder was attached for lateral control. Henson planned a machine which was to have 4,500 square feet in the tail and was to carry a steam engine of 30 horsepower. Ac- cording to illustrations of the time, as we'll as from his British patent draw ings, it appears as if this machine was very similar in appearance to the Antoinette monoplane used by Latham and to the Bleriot machine so success fully used in crossing the channel- Cassier's Magazine.

JOINS 20 CHURCHES:
IN JAIL FOR FRAUD
Prisoner Accused of Obtaining from
Pastors Money Under False Pre-
lenses Asserts preachers the
Easiest Game in World"

SAN JOSE, Feb. 20.--As the result of
an investigation instituted by the Pas
tors union of this county, Albert Nier
of San Francisco was arrested today
on a charge Of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Nier was captured by the officers at
the German Lutheran church and adj
mitted that he has been earning a liv-
ing by joining churches and borrowing
money from the pastors. The man has
become a professional at the game and
boasts of having affiliated himself with
twenty churches within tho week.
On the plea that he was a newcomer
in town and that his family was in poor
circumstances, Nier succeeded in OBJ
tanning small cash advances every
where. He is said to have been ar
rested on a similar charge in San Fran
cisco two years ago, and it was local
preacher who had recently come from
San Francisco who recognized him and
exposed his swindle.
preachers are the easiest game in
the world" Nier confided to the chief
of police tonight.
