DIAMOND sWINDLERs JAILED.
J. W. Napier and w. P. Duke in Tpils
of the Law.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 25.-A
unique swindling game, far-reaching
in operation and involving prominent
importers was laid bare here to-day
when ]. w. Napier and w. P. Duke,
from nobody knows where, were ar
rested on warrants sworn out by
United States Postal Office Inspector
Bulla, of Washington and bound over
by United States Commissioner Cobb
of the federal court. Duke collapsed,
following the arrest, turned States
evidence, and unfolded the operations
Of the gang to the commissioner with
out restraint. Briefly the scheme was
to order diamonds from a responsible
concern c. o. d., subject TO examina-
ton, substitute limitations for the
real diamonds and return the ship
ments to the importers with flimsy
excuses as to flaws in the stones.
The gang operated successfully in
Rock Hill, S. c., Branchville, S. c.,
Westville, S. c., Charlotte and other
neighboring towns, and cities, using
James Paris, an unsophisticated
country boy as decoy. Asking ex-
animation of the gems the importers
were led to ship the precious stones
to Paris. On arrival at the express
Office, Duke, who professed to be a
jeweler, would show up, with pro-
fessional care examine them, and
with some flimsy excuse turn them
back on the express company to be
returned, taking care during the ex-
animation to substitute the fake
gems for the originals. The imita-
tion stones were supplied by house
in Terre Haute, Ind. Paris, whom
the swindlers used as tool, is an
ignorant country boy who can neither
read nor write. He was discharged
by Commissioner Cobb, while Duke
and Napier were held in bonds of
s2,50O each. Duke made full con-
fession of the affair. The only victim
of the pair disclosed during the pre-
liminary examination was that OF
Daniel Low and Company, Salem,
Mass.

Outbid.

A clergyman was very annoyed to
find that an old gentleman, accompa-
MED by boy, fell asleep in two con-
secutive Sundays during his sermon.
So after service on the second week
he told the boy, whom he rightly
guessed to be the old gentleman's
grandson, that he wished to speak to
him in the vestry.
"My boy" asked the clergyman,
when they were closeted together,
"who is that elderly gentleman you
attend church WITH"
;"Grandpa," was the reply.
"Well," said the clergyman, ff
you will only keep him awake during
my sermon I'll give you penny each
week"
The boy fell in with the arrange
ment, and for the next two weeks the
old man listened 'attentively to the
sermon. The third week. however,
found him soundly asleep.
The clergyman, very angry, called
the boy to him, and said.
II am very angry with you; your
grandpa was a sleep again to-day.
Didn't promise you a penny week
to keep him awaken

pa now gives me twopence not to dis

A COSTLY WHIPPING.
Teacher Paid $1,000 for Beating
Pupil.

Champaign, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-Miss
Annie Kelly, of Champaign, formerly
a teacher at Tolono, after being a
fugitive from the law for four years,
has eapitulated by paying over to
William Burke, Of Tolono, S1,2OO
damages. She is now free to 60
where she will, and the Tolono
school case is ended. Because they
alleged that Miss Kelly and her
principal, Sherman Cass, had Sc
riously injured their 14-year-old boy
Michael, by whipping him, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Burke sued and obtained dam
ages of $1,000. After spending six
months in jail, Cass paid $500, but
Miss Kelly fed.
To the doors of the Supreme
court the young teacher took the
case, pleading exemption under the
bankruptcy laws, but the highest tri-
bunal in the land ruled that Uncle
Sam could throw no shelter around
her.
'I've always wanted my daughter
to pay up, but she was too much OF a
fighter to surrender" said her father,
James Kelly, a prosperous retired
farmer.
The Supreme court decision, how
ever, was the final blow to the in
domitable spirit that had kept the
young woman a fugitive from her
home for four years.
BY the terms of the settlement,
Miss Kelly paid over the $1,000 of
the judgment. She also paid the
court costs.
The Burkes have spent at least
$4,000 trying to bring to justice the
teachers whom they believed injured
their boy. The defendants are out a
similar sum.
In addition, Miss Kelly's profes-
sional life has been practically brok-
en- up for four years.

Saves an Iowa Mans Life.

The very grave seemed to yawn
before Robert Madsen, of West Burl-
ington, Iowa, when, after seven
weeks in the hospital, four Of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative
power of Electric Bitters. For, after
eight months of frightful suffering
from liver trouble and yellow jaun-
dice, getting no help from other
remedies or doctors, five bottles of
this matchless medicine completely
cured him. It's positively guaranteed
for stomach, liver or kidney troubles
and never disappoints. Only soc. at

THE NEW APPLE CULTURE.

Some hoed crop should be grown
in the orchard for few years but
wheat, ,-oats or hay crop should never
be taken from young orchard, as
they take fertility and moisture that
should go to the trees. After six or
eight years crops should not be taken
from the orchard unless some fertil-
izer is used, and it is a good plan to
use some before that time. I believe
in clean cultivation for the orchard.
l use a cutaway harrow early in the
spring and cultivate until about the
middle of July. l then drill about
bushel of COW peas to the acre, using
about 100 pounds of muriate of pot
ash, and 800 pounds of acid phos-
phate per acre. 1t is best to drill the
peas in rows about two AMI one-half
feet apart and keep the cultivator
going till the vines are too large to
cultivate. The vines should be left
on the land till the spring tc serve
as a mulch and to keep the land from
washing. They will lose no fertility
by drying. 1 go over the vines early
in the spring with the cutaway and
they are cut up fine, mixed with the
soil and all decayed in less than two
months. The peas can be picked off
and saved for seed.-Correspondence

A STRANGE ANIMAL.

am a little boy, eight years old, and
I thought l would write little letter.
About one month ago I and some
other little friends were playing on
the old fort green. We were playing
hide-and-go-seek. Two or three of us
were hiding in a tent down by the
road, when suddenly one of the boys
said: "Iook over the hill? Isn't
that a giraffe?" We all looked. We
all thought 1t was giraffe, so we
went up to the hill. The hill was
piece of land going up higher than
the level earth. When we got up the
hill, what do you think we found the
animal was? A leopard? No. A
goat? No. A calf? No. Well, it
was a little deer. The people were
feeding it crackers. There was lit
tie boy, with white, curly hair. A
woman was trying to take a picture
of him and the deer, but she could
not; the deer walked around too
much. But some time afterward she
did. I walked up to the deer to pet
it. but instead of petting the deer I
got some saddening hits on my head.
Next time I went down, two or three
days afterward, it gave me some
more. So l gave it some candy, and
don't think it will hit me any more

Men Servants Candidate

In France there are, we learn,

SOIL FOR TOMATOES.

Having decided to raise tomatoes
this year for my first, and not know
ing the kind of ground needed to get
best results, I would ask through the
next issue of your paper for informa-
tion about it.
I have one field which has been in
clover two years, and it is high
ground; also another field which is
low, black, and has a glossy hard clay
under four inches of black. 1t is
stalk ground. Which field would be
the best, and should fertilizer be used
in either case?
Upton County. w. c.
Answer: The tomato does fairly
well in most all of our Western soils,
but one of medium fertility is to be
preferred Too rich soil produces too
much vine in proportion to fruit. This
would be the case in your black land.
A fairly good clay loan generally
gives a satisfactory yield of we'll
shaped, fine fruit. If fertilizers are
used let them be applied in moderate
quantity near the roots when plant
ing. Some growers perfer a light,
sandy loan with fertilizers. AS to
clover sod, E. B. voorhees,, in Farm
ers' bulletin, No. rs, says:
ga clover or timothy sod, or a
green crop, such as rye, may precede
the tomato crop, provided it is plowed
either in fall or very early spring in
time to permit of thorough mellow
ing by cultivation before the plants
are set. et."-Indiana Farmer.

BACKWOODS
SURGERY.
''en nsusses seeeeesssssssesse .

Accidents in the woods are by no
means uncommon and a general
knowledge of their treatment is de-
cidedly worth while. DR.. Charles
Stuart Moody has an article on Back
woods Surgery in the Outing Maya
zire. In discussing the different acci-
dents and their treatment, he says:
A very distressing little accident
is the dislocation of the lower jaw.
| once had a patient who rode long
distance with his mouth wide open,
suffering a great deal of inconveni-
erce and no little pain, when one of
his friends could have relieved him
in an instant Wrap both your
thumbs in several layers of cloth,
stand behind the patient who should
be seated, and place your thumbs,
thus protected. on his back teeth,
grasp his Jaws on either side with
your fingers, press down with your
thumbs, up with your fingers, at the
same time drawing the jaw forward.
The bones will go back with a snap
and the victim Will spasmo Ideally
close his mouth hard enough TO draw
blood unless your thumbs are well
shielded"

HaIe'S Whims and FanCies.

trary to his usual custom, when he

man. The incident caused small
panic. 'The Senator is going to put

FOUR O'CLOCKS.

These are erect, bushy, quick
growing herbs. There are ten species,
mostly natives of South Africa, the
commonest of which is known as ia
Iapa. Another name for this flower
is Marvel of Peru.
While naturally perennials, they are
grown as tender ANNALS, Towering
late III the summer and fall. Any
soil of reasonable fertility will grow
them, and they thrive even in poor
situations. After once established
they will continue to bloom until
frost without attention.
Seeds may be sown in the spring
indoors or out, good results being OBJ
tanned by sowing directly in their per-
manent place. The plants should be
one foot apart each way.
The flower has no corolla, but the
calyx is colored and tubular shaped,
so the casual observer may mistake
it for true corolla. All shades of
red and yellow and also white flowers
may be obtained in the common var1-
cites, and one or two have varlegated
foliage. They open late in the after
noon and remain open until morning.
These plants will be found useful as
a background for flower bed or
along a fence, or large mass will
present a good appearance. The foil
age is smooth and glossy.
These plants often come up year
after year from self-sown seeds and
sometimes they produce tubrous roots
which may be dug up and stored like
those of the dahlia. - indianapolis

A HARDY TYPE OF PEACH.

This is a line of work which the
Department of Agriculture is follow
ing closely, and during last year a
dozen hardy varieties of seeding
peaches, bearing fruit of good quail
ity and appearance, have been segre
gated. These varieties represent
season of ripening from July to No
vember l. They are uniformly of the
Chinese Cling group, and from them
will probably come hardy race of
peach stock that will extend the area
of successful peach culture several
hundred miles north of the present
limit 1t will also extend the season
of ripening fully thirty days.-Indi-

RALPH AND REMINGTON SOLD.
The death of Frederick Remington,

in print what has always seemed to
me one of the best stories from real
life that l have heard, writes ]. B.
Barrett, in the Bellman. 1t was told
me by Sir William Van Horne dozen
years ago, and is best retold in his
own words, with apologies for what
inaccuracies may have crept into my
recollection in the interval. Thus,
then, it was that he told it me:
l was sitting in my Office one day
when two cards were brought in bear
ing the names of Julian Ralph and
Frederick Remington. l knew the
names and told my secretary to show
the gentlemen in. They came and
presented a letter from Harper S
Magazine, from which it appeared
that they had been sent, the one to
write and the other to illustrate a
Canadian moose hunt. The editor Of
Harper's Magazine asked me to show
them any courtesies which would as
sist them in their object.
Now l hadn't a notion whether
there was single blessed moose
along the whole line of the Canadian
Pacific, but l wasn't going to say so
to two men from New York. So
Il understand, gentlemen" 1 said,
that you have come here to shoot
moose" They said that was the
case.

that you are gentlemen and have a

you loose you are not going to &c
