This Weed Is a Great Spreader, but

The wild carrot. Familiarity known as
''bird's nest" or Queen Anne's lace"
is found on wild land and along the
roads in the eastern half Of the Unit
ed States and Canada. 1t came here
from England. 1t produces flower
stalks from II to three feet high and
has tall, slender, hollow stems and a
finely cut leaf. The flowers are white,
and the clusters with the stems re-
semble an umbrella. 1t has a very
strong, %suffocating odor when in bloom,
and this with it's nectar attracts scores
Of insects. It blooms from June to
September. The large number Of in
sects which visit it make %polleniza-
ton almost sure, which partly ac-
counts for the readiness with which it
spreads, says Farm and Fireside.
1t is a biennial, and the first season
it produces rather a low vegetative
growth. The second season it sends up
long flower stems. The seeds are very
numerous, and if the flower stems are
cut down before seed has been form
ed new stems will come up.
This weed is q demon to spread. but
not very hard to eradicate. Good Gull

ASelfConfessed
Criminal
Showing How Superior the De-

Court Method.
BY EDWARD BLAKE.
Copyright by American Press Assoc
citation, 1911. r.

A lawyer, especially a criminal law
yer, has often great difficulty in learn
ing from his client the true facts in a
case for which he is retained. The
lawyer should know whether or no his
client, if accused of q crime, is guilty
or innocent. Soon after l began to
practice my profession was retained
by a woman accused of forgery. l
asked her if she was . innocent, and
she confessed that she was guilty. 1
submitted a similar hypothetical S
to the judge before whom the woman
was to be tried and asked him wheth-
er it was my duty, knowing her to be
guilty, to defend her or refuse to do
So.
His reply vas that it was my duty
to defend her; that it was the business
of the jury, not the attorney o the
judge, to determine the matter of guilt
or innocence.
Mrs. Rebecca Irwin, my self con-
fesscd client. was a very feminine per-
son, but back of her femininity was
evidently a certain peculiar strength.
I would take her rather for one to
give away what she had than to take
money from another, especially dis
honestly. She vas somewhere between
thirty and forty years old and a very
pretty woman-that is, as beauty is in
q woman of that age. Above all,
she possessed a very melodious voice,
something ill a woman always very
attractive to me. In short, I became
interested in my client at once.
The crime was forging a check OF
Edgar Jones, payable to himself. His
name was also forged on the back of
the check. The paying teller at the
bank had no remembrance to whom
the money was paid. When the for
gerry was discovered and reported the
officers of the bank, suspecting that
some one of the banks clerks had
something to do with the fraud, en-
ployed a detective to investigate the
matter. He was at work Oh the case
when my client went to the president
of the bank and confessed that she
had made the forged check and had
drawn the money. When asked her

reason for her voluntary confession
she said she was induced to make it
on account of o guilty conscience.
1 entered IL plea of not guilty for my
client and called I'M two experts in CHI
Biography to pass upon the writing.
The body Of the check was in one
hand, while the signatures were in an
other. My experts stated that the
writing in the body was something
similar to that of my client, but they
pronounced the signatures to have
been made by another person from the
filler of the paper and certainly not
that Of my client. The prosecuting at
torney's experts declared that my eli.
ent had both filed in the check and
written the signatures.
What puzzled me was that Mrs. IT.
win manifested no interest in secur-
iLg an acquittal. She said she felt
that she had committed a sin and could
never hope to obtain any mental com.
fort in the matter till she had paid
the penalty. Her actions so
