When Bernard Carter, wealthy

noted the name of Roxer Williams
among the convicts who testified be-
fore the investigating board. This is
not a common name and recalled
man with whom Carter had had trou-
BILE years ago on ranch in Crockett
county, Texas.
In the spring OF 1880 Carter and
Williams had quarreled. One night
Williams stabbed Carter while out on
cattle trail and rolled his body into
Pecos river Williams was arrested,
tried and given a long sentence for
the murder of Carter.
A few weeks after the stabbing the
decomposed body of man was found
in the river and identified as that OF
Carter, but it was. not. Carter was
found by a companion, taken to the
railroad and sent to a hospital at El
Paso. Recovering, he drifted west,
thence to Central America, and finally,
having accumulated Il fortune, Sellieu
in Seattle ten years ago.
Carter discovered that the convict
in the Texas penitentiary was the
same Roxer Williams that had stabbed
him and that he was serving a forty
year term for his murder.
The astonished man at once set
about to procure the pardon of viii

fore the stabbing affair and became
bitter enemies, fighting over their
stock. Recovering from his wounds
Carter heard that Williams had
slipped the country and had never
been arrested. Williams was 33 years
old when he was convicted and he
looks 60 now. He supposed he had
killed Carter.

Lines of Least Resistance.

A great many people prefer to slide
along the line of least resistance, to
get along Just as easily as they can, to
paying the price in preparation for
something better. They are not willing
to prepare themselves for a wider,
larger place. they know that their edu-
cation is deficient, that they lack spe-
cial training; and they know that they
could manage, somehow, to repair their
deficiencies, but they lack the energy
to do so. They prefer to slide along
in an easy-going way, with the least
trouble possible to themselves, says 0.

Just a little education to help them

They did not think it worth while to

The reason why the lives of so many
people are mean and stingy and juice
less is because they put so little. into

because they sow so little and such in

Testing Poultry for the Table.

Some experts in choosing poultry for
the table depend upon testing tho
breastbone. but sometimes dealers
break this on purpose, then you are
out. In a young chicken or goose the
cartilage in the breastbone viii bend
easily. If the bird is year old IL
will be brittle, and in an old fowl
will break before 1t will bend to any
amount. To make this test, take ths
end of the breastbone farthest from
the head and make the attempt to
bend it to one side. If it is young %
will bend easily to either side.

A very convenient way OF feeding
pigs was observed in the swinehouse
of a prominent breeder, an arrange
ment that made the tridaily feelings
a matter of so little difficulty that a
child could place the feed before ID
pen of unruly noses.
The front of each pen was hinged
at the top, swinging downward against
the farther sides of the uprights, as
here shown, the weight of the door
being sufficient to hold it in place. On
the front of the door is a vertical bar
with pin through the top, as here
shown. This is held in place by TWO
wooden blocks notched out to admit
Of the bars sliding up and down, the
blocks being bolted to the door If
desired the home blacksmith could
easily shape piece of iron to perform
the same duty.
At feeding time the bar is lifted and
the door swung in past the trough,
directly beneath. Then the bar is
dropped, thus holding the door back
of the trough This keeps the hungry
mob on the other side of the door
while the feeder takes his time to
clean the trough If need be, and to
pour in the feed. A few transverse

vent any unusually piggish pig from
crowding down the length of The
trough to the exclusion of others.
When ready to admit the pigs to the

drops to its usual position. Any farm
er can make such device, all that is
required, besides the lumber that
would have to be used in any case,
being the hinges.
