Stevenson, Knutes son, at upham in
June, 1908.
The trial of Whitaker was one OF
the most sensational and widely in
teresting ever held in McHenry coun-
ty According to the testimony in
troduced, te crime was committed
because of a loan of some money
made by young Stevenson to Whit

that Jefferson Whitaker encountered
STEVENSON in a pool hall and hard
words ensued 1t is asserted that
STEVENSON dared the elder Whitaker
to harm him and that thereupon the
old man became enraged and going to
his room secured a pistol. Returning
to the pool hall he confronted tho
youth, Stevenson who challenged him
to shoot. Whitaker stepped forward,
raised his hand and amidst the death
like stiffness puller the trigger Young
STEVENSON toppled to the floor pierced
through the stomach, and thereafter

The Lions in the WAY.

Many young men who lack
"gumption," ginger" or whatever
you may term it, often reason
thusly: IF it had not been for so
and so and such and such a thing,
l could have achieved success"
The lions in the way of the average
young man and a successful career
are the IFS" and the lands" that
enter into his daily life and rob him
of his vim and courage. They are
the breastworks thrown up by the
weak and vascilliating, which be-
guileS and deceive and which are
offered as excuses for many fail
ures. The lions in the way are
nothing more than lack of cour-
age, steadfastness of purpose, and a
determination to 90 in and win.
Young people who lack these
qualities, need our help. Our life
work is to train young people in the
laws and customs of commercial
life, develope their latent talent,
quicken their perceptions, teach
them Bookkeeping. Shorthand, and

Calculation, Spelling and the use of

and give them a steadfastness of
purpose and enough "gumption" to
accomplish it. With such training,

Why Glover Helps Soils.

A Champaign county, Illinois,
correspondent writes: rs it fact
that clover removes from the
ground more nitrogen andphospho-
rus than most any other crop? If
that is a fact, how is that clover
sodyin the richest ground that we
have?" s. j.!
This Is a case where we can eat
our cake and have it, too. True, a
crop of clover will remove from the
soil much more of both nitrogen
and phosphorus than almost any
crop, but the acquisitions of these
elements through growth of roots,
shedding of leaves, with the mil
lions of nodules on the clover roots
at work gathering nitrogen from
the air, all tend to fix more of these
elements than have been removed
by the crop. Because of just these
things it is best to always get as
heavy growth of clover roots as
possible before the sod is turned;
and for this reason the roots of a
seed crop of clover are much more
valuable than the roots of a hay
crop.-L. c. Brown.

The Human Brain Has Been
Charted.

How can the surgeon determine
just where to saw open the skull in
trephining? In most cases of brain
pressure no exterior indication upon
the skull exists. The operation is
necessarily delicate one and in
definite exploration is not to be
thought of. says The Designer for
March. 1t may be a case where no
time must be lost. How does the
surgeon decide?
Vivisection has given the answer
in a most interesting operation
which made possible a chart or map
of the brain. Originally a monkey
was placed under an anaesthetic,
and the cap of the skull removed,
exposing the living brain. A chart
of it was made and divided into
squares one-twelfth of an inch wide
Electricity was then applied to the
brain on each square as indicated
by the chart, and resulting muscular
movements all over the body were
noted and tabulated. Later on,
more perfect maps were made from
human brains undergoing opera
tons, with no injury to the patient
and no loss of life. Like the maps
of state, island or bay these maps
are now permanent.

Jas. A. Reed. which occurred at

special election was held in the
Sixth District, the Rich Hill, Mo-,
Review, leading Democratic paper
of the Sixth District, says:
Mr.. Reed spoke in nearly every
county in the Sixth Congressional
District in the late campaign, and
and in several of the counties made
two or three speeches. He was
greeted everywhere by large crowds,
and his speeches were received
with great interest and enthusiasm.
Other able Democratic speakers
were in the district, and contributed
to the result of the splendid victory
achieved, but it can be truthfully
and not boastingly said that Reeds
speeches in the recent campaign
were the most impressive and eff
fective ever heard in any campaign
in the state. especially his logical
and forceful presentation of the
Democratic position on the tariff
question and his powerful arraign-
ment of Republicanism as repre-
scented by the robbery of the con-
