TERROR FOR coUNTERFE1TERs.
A United States Judge Gives Band
Heavy Sentences.

No more will Lupo, THE Wolf" bare
his white teeth in glee over the won

counterfeit money enough to make him

was astonishing. The words of the
Judge seemed to strike the prisoners
down like pistol shots. Their demon
stratIye natures were completely over
come by the severity of their punish
ment.
Only Lupo, ''The Wolf" was able to
control his despair. And even his har-
dened features twitched as the sentence
his death in prison, fell from the judges
lips.
Morello collapsed utterly. He had
stood tottering during the brief but
stern address made to him by the court.
But when he understood that he was
doomed to twenty-five years in prison, he
uttered cry and fell in a faint. He
had to be carried back to the pen" by
two deputy marshals, and a doctor was
sent for.
Calechio burst into tears and hysteri-
cal sobbing. He was the first Of the
prisoners to be sentenced. and the effect
of his collapse weakened the nerves of
his associates. He also was removed to
the pen"

SUGAR MAKING; BY Hoosier Poet.

The maple sap is rising
In the mellow southern breeze;
We're getting out the sugar pals
And tapping of the trees;
Were scrubbing mp the kettles
To boil the sweetness down
About a week from Thursday
Wen take lot TO town.
The price Is ever higher
As the naples disappear.
But we hold to the sugar bush
For many another year.
As father and grandfather did.
And so doing were content
With honest sugar making
One may mix some sentiment.
We truly get flavor
That the grocer can't impart
Who makes ii In the cellar
By the chemists tricky art;
For our strip and our sugar
Have the breath of early spring:
There's u Whit Of the arbutus
And the whirr of birds awning.
There'll be a pretty frolie
When the boiling does begin.
The boys and girls from all around
Will be invited in:
A fiddler from the Ferry
And one from Windsor way
Wen dance from early candle light
Almost till peep o day.
There'n be heap O. counting.
As sure as "tacks is tacks,
There always is about as true
As sugar turns to wax;
And many a fellows captured,
Poor unsuspecting chap
Twas there Melissa caught me
And so-well, verbum sap.

Because of the inadequacy of her
decking facilities to accommodate the
direct freighting from the west to ocean
carriers which is expected when the
barge canal is completed, New York is
starting on a great harbor in Jamaica
bay, toward which she has secured an
appropriation of $550000 in the river
and harbor bill, as the initial installment
of 100000 to be contributed by the
general government, conditional upon
the expenditure of an additional $4,000
900 by the city herself. New York city
has been hampered for many years by
port charges which initiate against the
flow of export grain, and the new docks
in Jamaica bay are expected to liberate
her trade from these exactIons.

The high prices for meats of all kinds
have caused hungry humanity to make a
tremendous assault upon the rabbits,
which have been eaten in greater numbers
during the past fall and winter than for
many years. There has doubtless been

game are wanting or poorly enforced.

are killing the birds by thousands. 1t
is estimated that 10000 birds have been
killed within three weeks. A party OF
hunters bagged sixteen hundred, and a
single hunter caught three hundred and
seventy-seyen in one tree. This slaugh-
ter is regrettable, as the robin is well

Plants Sixty Miles of Trees.

The example of the progressive little
city of Riverside, Cal. in its systematic
care of street trees ought to be follow ed
by many other places. The first work
was done in 1904, when $50 trees were
planted by the Chamber of Commerce.
In 1905 the chamber planted 1000. In
1906 the chamber planted more and the
city took it mp, the total for the year
being 1850; in 1907 the city planted 1900,
and in 1908 the number was 21TO. In
the short time since the start was made
