Jury De|Iberates, } Rours; Acqu:ts
 Captain Royton

Capt. Paul Royton is happy today for jury in the court Of common pleas yesterday acquitted him of the charge of violating the Sunday law by allowing dancing at Steeplechase Isl- and. The jury was out almost three hours before agreeing upon verdict. Twice they came in to tell the court they couldn't agree and each time Judge Burnes sent them back with in> structions.
 It is said that on the first ballot the count was six for acQuittal and six for guilty. But after many argument ts the half dozen who wanted a verdict of guilty finally consented to acQuit- tai. Capt. Boyton was overwhelmed with congratulations by his numerous friends and last night he held a recep- tion at which he thanked his friends for their support.
 The verdict will probably mean that two cases of a similar nature now pending before the court of common pleas will be nolled. They are Man ager H. Eugene McCann of the Bridge port ball club, charged with violating the Sunday law, and Daniel Guilty. formerly manager of the dance hall at Steeplechase. charged with the same offence. Attorney J. B. Klein repre- sents McCann and Judge Thomas C.. Coughlin appears for. Guilty.
 Capt. Boyton's acquitta1 is a great legal victory for his lawyer, Attorney John c. Chamberlain, who handled the trial in his usual able fashion.

CAN CHILDREN ATTEND Judge J. HI. Perry Says They Can, While Teachers Don't Want Them to-In Some Cases More Teach
 CTS Would be Necessary.
Special to The Farmer,


 Southport, Nov. 24-A novel situation was uncovered a few days ago when a Polish fellow, who is in the employ of Judge J. H. Perry, wanted to send his year old boy to school, but found he wasn't wanted there. MT. Perry and asked him if the boy was attend, ing school. The judge thought that school was the best place for the boy. and he was taken to the Southport school The teacher, it is alleged, told the father that they did not take chil- dren during the middle of term. It was explained that the best thing for the child was to wait another year and start him with the other children. The father then went to Rev Allen E. Beeman, of Fairfield, who in turn re- ferred him to Superintendent of Schools, Edward J. Graham. MT. Graham said that all the schools try to make it a set rule not to let a child enter school during the middle of semester. He said that if chil- dren were allowed to go in at any time it would make a separate class for that child alone and would take up so much time of the teacher that the other classes would be neglected. The only way to overcome this difficulty the Superintendent thought that the town could not afford that Judge Per ry held that a child is not forced to enter school until he Or she was 2 years of age, but said that one could enter when at the age of 5. The child was admitted and is now attending the school.
 The annual turkey supper at the Congregational churchi, was given last evening by the Christian Endeavor so- city. It was a marked success. Miss Sarah Walker had charge of the af- fair. appointing her own committees. Without doubt the supper was a pretty scene of good things and was artistically arranged. Fourteen young ladies acted as waitresses, all being dressed in white. The supper consist ed of roast Vermont turkey, salads, lobster, beans, home made pumpkin pies. coffee, cake. ice cream, cookies, and nuts. The menu cards were hand colored and received many compli- ments. A fine program of musical se- lections was rendered. The receipts are said to be about $75 net which will go to the singing class of the Christian Endeavor society. The young ladies waiting ontables were Miss Grace Purdy. Mrs. Carl Williams. Miss Emeline Disbrow. Miss Mabel Jen- nings. Miss Caroline Jennings, Miss Eva Nichols Miss Mabel Graveson, Miss Mary Bdlkley. Mrs. Walter Mich ols. Miss Maud Reilly, Miss Clara Bulkley.

SOLDERING
 FOR COLLEGE MEN

A certain relic of the Neolithic pe- riod, by the mouth-illing name of Col. Stephen M. Foote, Coast Artillery Corps, U. s. A., suggests that the three months summer vacation of col lege men be devoted to drill, target practice, and other fine points of the Military Art" the better to enable them to become scientific killers at the behests of gold-braided assassins..
 For this estimably valuable service the taxpayers of the United States are to pay 10000 college men ':$15 a month, board, clothing and medical attendance" This last. they will prob- ably need sadly before their period ex- pires. for the wars Of Bacchs and Ve- nus consume the vitality of our bold soldier boys at an alarming rate. And of such is the kingdom of a soldier. Confirm this in any garrison town.
 1t is the same old appeal to the workers to fit themselves to become the armed fists and the barred tusks of the capitalists-who declare wars for profits and plunder. 4
 The doughty colonel said naively 'eThe rich student will probably spend the summer in pursuit of pleasures D Can't trap him, you see. He knows too much, and his economic condition does not force his acceptance of the beggarly bait held out.
 Buts How about the student of av- craze means, who has to be careful of his expenses, whose parents have to make sacrifices to send him to college He is the young man whose summer vacation causes more anxious thought than the whole college year..
 An. now you're talking! There is some sense in this form of chatter. No one is quite foolish enough to be- lieve that rich mans son would ever make such an egregfous ass of himself as to enlist to do a soldiers dirty work and learn a soldiers dirty blood stained trade. Of course, we have SHOW SOLDIERS, like the Seventh Regiment of New York, who play real lovely at being really truly soldiers, and have the most beautiful uniforms!
 But when the Spanish-American war broke out, they simply voted not to go. So there! Some sense and wit in this form of soldering.
 But the poor boy who clutches the $15 a month and the other cheap bait dangled so tempting y before his eyes he's the timber from which our mur- der barracks must be recruited.
 This little scheme, matched out in the nimble feet of Col. FDote is to. cost the government a minimum of
