The second witness was ]. D. Lee. a

The defence objected vigorously to
this. declaring that what Mrs. Orner
did previous to the death Of the child
was immaterisl.
The judge overruled the motion
Of the defence.

I saw her and I told her that she
was setting a bad example for her
daughter. but she turned away and
said nothing. Later she told me that
she had the little girls life insured

this man and that he was coming TO

committee in advocacy Of the Canadian
reciprocity bill today.
Costs Papers Heavily.
AS result of the high prices charged
by the International Paper company,
Mr.. Norris said that the largest user of
news print paper in this country would
have to pay during the coming year
100000 more for paper than for several
years past, and another publisher about
100000 year more.
The present tariff he declared, al
lowed the paper makers of the Unites
States to maintain high prices and keep
Canadian paper out. The fact that the
United States has been shipping more
paper inc Canada than is sent from
there into this country is proof. he
claimed, that it can be produced here
at lower figure than in Canada.

Abram Gonzales is a grandson and
a nephew Of two former governors
OF Chihuahua. He 1nherlted little
money, but brains, courage and an
even tempered, happy disposition. He
has made his small fortune by hard
work, mainly as a cattle broker. In
cidentally he has mined in his native
hills and has sold mines to Ameri-
cans. The bulk of his cattle buying
and selling has been in behalf OF
American customers. He speaks Eng

Ffgueroa Is Hard to Placate.
From Cuernavaca comes the disquiet-
ing rumor that Figueroa's men will not
agree to stop fighting unless the chosen
cabinet is acceptable to them. 1t is also
reported that Ffgueroa and his chief
lieutenant are not in thorough accord
and that his lieutenant has incurred the
enmity of Capata, the captor of Cuautla,
whom he has branded as a bandit. 1t is
not impossible that the forces of these
two may yet come N conflict. Such
dissension has the effect OF minimiz-
ing the danger to the capital. but in

south.

Vermonts Nut Crop

Vermont boyhood life is to be made
cheerful this fall by abundant crops
of butternuts, beechnuts and hazel
nuts. Perhaps stores of these last
may not be gathered by the boys for
already the busy. sprightly squirrel
has begun stripping or picking them
from the shrub upon which they grow,
for the nuts are already we'll develop
ed and in most instances the husks
are quite easily removed thus early
In the season.
The hazel nut as Ii is found in Yer.
mont, is Of a quality nowise inferior
TO that OF Its near relative, the filbert
of commerce, and this season the nuts
are not only abundant but of unusual
size. The energetic boy, and this In

everybody under the century mark,
can easily gather a store, II not out
witted by the aforesaid frisky SOUR
rel, sufficient for a feast on Thanks
giving night, or at least that will add
TO the variety that should be available
on that occasion. The hazel bush
grows on the fringes OF woods and
intermingles with other shrubbery
growths and therefore the nuts are
easily gathered.
IL is astonishing TO note how abun.
dant is the seasons crop OF beechnuts,
at least here In the beautiful and pro
life White River Valley. One sees
trees with their wide spreading fan
shaped branches literally carpeted
with the diminutlve burs that soon
will have attained their growth when
will follow the season of ripening and
the bursting Of the mature bur.
While the beechnut is small as TO
quantity II is all there in quality, and
we'll worth all the trouble its gather
ing may cost. Beechnuts sell for a
good price In such markets as Boston
and cities of southern New England
where the beech tree is but rarely
seen as an indigenous tree.
The good old butternut, the meat Of
which sells at around so cents Q
pound, even here In White River
Junction, is exceptionally plentiful
this season and ere many weeks shall
have passed one can so into the high
ways and byways and gather them
by the bag. bushel or barrel. A good
supply Of these will help make the
winter evenings less monotonous. and
besides all this, nuts OF all kinds are

while the Vermont housewife will
have her own supply OF butternuts,
