Att torney Bill prosecuted for the state, while Attorney Gedrge W. Meioney of willimantic represented Mir Dagenias. from Brooklyn jail. where they were sent Monday to serve the sentences imposed upon them, to testify as wit- nesses for the state-
 On the witness stand, Gay said that he had purchased a half-pint of whis- key of Dagenias at the latters place of business In the Evans block last Saturday night and that he paid 25 cents for it. Hamilton testified to buy ing whiskey of the same man at the same place on three different occasions namely on March 19. z3 and 26. Sub- 5ected to a searching inquiry by MT Melony, Gay and Hamilton stuck to their statements.
 Mir. Dagenias denied that he had sold either of the men liquor or any drink Of an intoxicating nature on the dates alleged. In a nutshell, 1t was case of the word of the prisoners. who did not claim to have seen eac hother buy the liquor, against the word of the de- fendant.
 In his argument, Attorney Meiony laid particular stress on this feature or the testimony, claiming that the state had failed to prove it's case. inasmuch a preponderance of evidencs had not been submitted against his client.
 Judge Back found Dagenias not guilty, but in passing judgment made reference to Dagenias' previous ap- pearances In the court on similar charges, and incidentally referred to the latters agreement about leaving the basement in the Evans block as his place of business.
 Judge Back also pointed out that In a community of this size it was rather difficult for the court not to hear re- marks about matters that are liable later to come before him for decision, but he said, in effect, that whatever his personal opinion the findings must be based on the evidence as submitted.

SULLIVAN'S SERMON.

Big Tim Sullivan is a New York
politician of the East Side, pro
duet Of his environment and
proud Of it. 1t is related of him
that on the occasion of a visit to
Europe he entered into conversa-
ton on ship board with one OF
the society women Of New York
and Newport, who asked him when
he came over from Ireland. Sulli-
van responded that he was born
in New York and his father and
grandfather before him. The wo-
man remarked that he must come
from one of the old Knickerbock-
err families. "No, one of the old
Five Points families. said Suili-
van. All of which shows the type
Of man he is.
Each year Sullivan gives to the
news boys of his district picnic
and on the occasion of one of
these recently the spoke to the
boys as follows:
"Boys. when | was a newsboy
10 years ago a newspaper was as
good as a library, and it is to-
day.
Don't none of you ever think
or tell lie. And always keep one
of your papers by you to read,
and read it through. "
Short though this speech was,
there is whole sermon in it, and
many preacher talks a good deal
more and says less.-Ex.

AGRICULTURAL HIGH
SCHOOLS

At the last session of the General
Assembly an appropriation Of $23.-
600 per annum for the next two
years was made to help in the
teaching Of agriculture in the high
schools Of Louis ana Accord
ingly. there will be established
during the next session from fiji
teen to twenty such schools.
The requirements imposed by
the State Department of Education
upon schools that seek to estab-
fish deparmtntS of agriculture
can be ascertained by applying to
Supt. Y. II. Harris, Baton Rouge,
La.
The agricultural schools will
offer a four years course in agrl-
culture and will teach the follow
ing subjects; farm crops; hortl-
culture soils and fertilizers; ami
NAL husbandry; farm engineering ;
farm management; dairylng and
IdFH DoohhctpluS. p'!s 'dh'iS
agriculture will be q ven -four
hours per week of shop and field
practice during the first two
years. and six hours of field prac-
tice during the last two years.
The teacher in agriculture must
be a graduate of a college of agrl-
culture.
These schools should. reach a
great many of the boys Of the
State and should exert an excel
lent Influence for the betterment
of agriculture in the parishes in
which they are located.
The equipment Of the schools.
in the way of apparatus, tools,
and supplies, will be such as to
afford favorable conditions for
good work. These schools should
receive the cordial support of all
persons interested in the agricul-
tural development of the state.
