NEXT DooR's FRUIT TEE.
The One Whose Branches Extend
Over the Fence Into Your Yard.

|
| The next door fruit tree. growing so
near the line that laden branches ex-
tend over the fence, has proved Il
source of untold spankings to tie
small boy, quarrels between otherwise
good nelghbors and even resort to the
police courts, One is inclined to sus-
pect that the original apple tree of
trouble hung over neighbor's fence.
The cause of friction is. of course,
the question of the ownership of or at
least the right to take and use the
fruit on the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose property
Is thus invaded, but if he asserts this
claim to the point of gathering the
fruit without permission he may feel
the iron hand of the law, says Har-
per's Weekly. If he objects to the
presence of the branches which extend
over his property the owner of the
tree must remove them. But if the
owner of the tree applies for the fruit
or asks permission to enter and take it
the owner of the land over which the
branches extend cannot refuse permits
sion for entry for this purpose. If he
refuses either to hand over the fruit
or to allow the owner of the tree to
enter and take it, then the owner of
the tree may enter without permission.
but he must use no force nor commit
any damage in so entering.
Certainly the most neighborly thing
to do would be to divide that fruit.

ToIstoy's Thoughts on Death.

The fear of death is unnatural. The
fear of death is the consciousness OF
sin.
The fear of death emanates from the
fact that people regard as life only a
small part of it, limited by their own
erroneous conception.
Just as the owner of the fig tree
knows the time when the fruit is ripe.
so God knows when to call the right

That Is Where Clerk Will Go Instead
of Bastile.

OF BaStile.
Sheriff Osten this morning receiv-
ed letter from Sheriff G. w. Hurst
of Redfield, S. D., i'm regard to Will
liam Clerk, who is under arrest there
and who is wanted in this city for
taking goods on approval and not re-
turning them and passing checks
drawn on bank where he had no
funds. Sheriff Hurst writes that the
corset and garters that were secur-
ed from the Fred w. Kruse company
have been recovered and would be
returned today by express. He also
writes that Clerks father has arriv-
ed there from Stacyville, Iowa, and
states that his son has been in the
insane asylum at independence,
Iowa, for some little time, but was
released on parole early in the win
ter and returned to his home to live
with his father, but went to North
Dakota and got into some trouble
there. Then he went to Aberdeen,
S. d., and there got into some trou-
BILE. From there he went to Red
field where he got into trouble.
Sheriff Hurst writes that the faith
er wishes to take his son back to
the asylum, as it appears that he is
mentally weak, and is willing to
make good for any property taken
by his son. This is satisfactory to
the officials of Redfeld and the faith
rangements he can make for return
ing his son to the asylum.
