Encourage the Boys.

When a boy presents an idea that
is feasible. pat him on the back and
encourage him, and he will develop a
love for agriculture and become the
pride of your heart in your declining
years and will love the homes and
the farms that you have worked so
hard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in your case
by all means give the boy chance
to begin without your handicap.

good enough for the boy" is maxim
unworthy of New England farmer.
Give the boy chance at an agricul-
tural education and he will help you
to stop the leaks and turn the past
and present into brighter future.

Five months ago Orville Caterline
escaped from an Ohio prison. where
he had served nearly four years OF q
fifteen-year sentence for burglary. He
successfully threw his pursuers OH
the track, and was apparently IN no
anger of recapture. But the knowl-
edce of his outlawry was ever pres
ent. Haunted continually by the fear
Of apprehension. and not daring 20
make friends lest In an u~nguarded
moment he should disclose his secret.
he found the conditions Of his life
unbearahle. and gave himself up 10
the authorities in Georgia for return
to penal servitude.
Casterline evidently belong to the
class Of offenders with whom the re-
breaches Of conscience are harder TO
endure than the punishment inflicted
for crime. That he should have been
a burglar makes his case somewhat
unusual. In the absence OF definite
knowledge Of his history. 1t may be
inferred that he was a tyro IN the

dured. but eve voluntarily en-
braced. It Is the accidental criminal.
II the term be allowed, that carries
with him in his chance recovery OF
freedom the weight Of guilt and the
terror of discovery. This class Is
largely made UP Of men who have
succumbed to great OF sudden tempta-
tion-men whose qualities have CONF
manded the respect of their fellows
and whose abilities have placed them
in positions Of responsibility and
trust.
With such. the m overt act brings
ruin. But their after-sufferings prove
that they by no ean lost all. The
law. unfortunately. cannot take cog
nizance of this feature. The fact that
Casterline gave himself up will prob
ably afford no mitigating item In his
prison record. On the contrary, he
will doubtless find that the breaking
Of, his bonds will be the one matter
of note, and that good behavior
time will be taken off for the added
offense. In the highest view, how
ever, his atoning act is apparently not
without evidences of personal merit.
His inability to live with mel on 9TH

to the existence Of inner principles

END OF THE ELECTRICAL TRUST

The business men who were induc-
ed. by trust promoters to organize a
monopoly under the shelter of the
patent laws are coming to see that
they we're badly advised. The cleo
trical trust, upon which an order OF
dissolution has just been served by a
federal court, sees no wisdom in offer
ing further resistance to what is man.
lfestly the inevitable.
No appeal is to be taken to the SUI
preme court. it is understood. and
competition in electrical appliances
soon will be restored. This consum-
nation lot only relieves the public
from being forced to pay exorbitant
prices for articles in common use,
but it settles the question Of the deal
er's right to fix the selling price Of
goods he procures from the producer.
The form of contract which has been
forced upon the retailer in order to
Etile competition between dealers in
the same t%rust-lnade article has been
declared illegal. as it had already
been done in the case of proprietary
medicines, thus putting the trade in
electrical products on the same basis
as before the trust was formed, and
hence leaving no incentive for its con-
tinuance.
1t would appear that carrying out
the order Of the court will not be
hampered by the same obstacles at
tending the dissolution of oil and to-
bacco interests, the subsidiaries Of
