Very Easy Plan.

The man with a garden who lives
next door to- the man who keeps
chickens that run at large has always
had a hard TINA of it. His praise
worthy attempt to grow vegetables
and fruits that shall rival the pic
lures in the seed catalogues are con-
stantly foiled by Plymouth Rocks
and Rhode Island Reds of his neigh
Dor. He sows in hope and the hen
reaps with Joy.
Throwing stones at or s'shooing"
the chickens not only fails OF its OBJ
ject but results in greater disastet.
To expostulate with the owner Of the
hens only evokes promises of amend
ment that are lever realized. Hith-
erto the man VINO under such circum-
stances has triad to have a garden
has necessarily been endowed with
more than human patience, hope and
perseverance.
But a new day has dawned for the
gardener---a day bright with nope
and certainty. What friendly remon-
strances and a.: the machinery of the
law have been unable to do, is now
thanks to an Illinois clergyman, made
easy for every man who aspires to
raise every kind Of vegetable from
radishes to Hubbard squash. Sc
simple and yet so ingenious Is the
plan discovered that one wonders II
was not thought of long since.
1t merely amounts to trap cum
ningly placed by a row Of recently
sown peas or some other attractive
spot. Into this trap walks the ma
rauding hen as innocently as the fly
goes into the spiders parlor. When
the hen is thus caught the capto1
holds it for a ransom. No ransom
no giving up Of hen. but the ransom
is always paid, deDredations cease
and harmony ia restored between two
neighbors and their families.

New Potato Bug.

With a flourish Of scientific trum-
pets it is announced that Chicago
professor of biology has, after innum-
cradle experiments, produced potato
bugs different in appearance from
the ordinary kind. Instead of the ia
miliar stripes. the new varieties have
backs that are mottled, piebald or
otherwise adorned with geometrical
figures, whilt the color scheme IS
richer and more elaborate. 1t is all
very interesting, and perhaps valu-
able from a scientific standpoint, but
potato growers would consider it
more to the point if that particular
student of biology or some other
evolve a harmless potato bug, or, bet
ter still, exterminate the present spe-
cies.

Those cults which under srecious
guises indulge in shady moral prac-
tices always take refuge in the plea
of "spirit Of TRUTH" or "other world
liness," or some other canting and
hyprocritical expressions. But in the
long run these cults, whether "Abso-
lutte Life" Heavenly Abode" or
what not, are sure to come to grief
as they run against unimaginative
courts and the hard-headed. practical
sense Of society. Yet it is strange
how easy it is for unprincipled men
to find willing dupes.

Pennsylvania Train Is Derailed While
Going at Speed of Sixty Miles an
Hour Near Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne, Ind.,-The Pennsyl-

tween Chicago and New York City,
known as the Flyer, jumped switch
on the western outskirts of this city
while running at terrific rate of
speed in an endeavor to make up an
hours lost time, and the doubleheader
train dashed square into freight
train ON the track north. At least 80
people were injured, several of whom
will die.
The wreck was the worst in which
this famous train has ever partici-
pated. All of the nine all-steel cars
were loaded with passengers but only
the first two coaches of the train
were badly damaged. These were
rolled from a ten-foot embankment
into Swinney park on the edge of
which the wreck occurred.
Three dead bodies have been recov.
cred and 81 injured conveyed to two
of the hospitals.
