Level-Headed Roseau Farmers.
The town of Rockbury in Roseau
county has solved, it seems, the prob
lem of how to have. and keep roads in
good shape. Each farmer in the
township is required to cover with
split log drag whenever necessary all
public roads across or bordering his
farm. For this he receives 81 cents
per mile each way each trip. This
system has been in operation only
this year and it is hard to find better
roads anywhere.

MY PET CROW
BY RUTH EVERETT

WHEN | was q little girl few things
w pleased me better than 10 be taken to
visit nv uncle David, who owned large
dairy farm in Orange County New York
One day when ! was out in the woods with
Uncle he caught young crow and gave 1t
TO me for a pet. A crow, even in its widest
state. is a sort Of half domestic fowl. II IS
no trouble at all 10 tame them, and, aside
from their Unsuitable desire 20 get into all
manner Of mischief, they make nice pets
Nv crow and ! were pretty good friends
by the time We got back 20 the farmhouse,
and ever after that the bird lost no oppor-
tunitv to play hi, practical Jokes on anybody
and everybody; but he seemed specially
delighted when his victim was Uncle David.
All Of this was accepted in good part by
the dear old man. until one day the bird
and am sorry 10 say was equally al fault
carried a Joke So far that II came perlOuSly
near being a dead crow ever atterWard.
Although Uncle was rich beyond the NO.
ccssitv Of labor, he believed in plenty Of out
door exercise. and was fond Of working in
his orchard and kitchen garden. In that
same kitchen garden was q beautiful pear
tree. which was always called my tree, be-
cause it was planted the day | was born.
In the shade of my pear tree the crow used
to perch himself and watch Uncle David
SOW seeds and set out young tomato and
cabbage plants, while | enjoyed the same
sight from my hammock on the back porch.
That day Uncle had stretched line some
fifty feet long across the garden, that he
might make the rows straight. With pan
of Young cabbage plants at his side, with a
sharpcncd stick Uncle would punch little
holes in the soft. rich loan, slip the root OF
a young cabbage plant down into this hole,

ATTACK ELISOR INDICTMENTS
Move Made on Behalf of Hudson
County Money Broker.

\ move was made yesterday to assail
the legality OF the indictments found by
the Hudson County Grand Jury drawn by
the elisors. The contention IS that, under
the statutes of New Jersey, it was the
prerogativc Of the senior coroner TO draw
the grand jury in the event of the dis
ability of the sheriff. Among the indicted
men IS Thomas Fallon, the Jersey CITY
money broker who is charged with having
borrowed from County Collector stephen
NJ. Egan sums aggregating 10000.
Fallon was formally surrendered yester-
day by his bondsman. Ills lawyer then
made application to Vice-Chancellor Gar
rison for writ of habeas corpus alleging
that the Indictment and arrest of Fallon
were illegal The vlce-chancellor issued
the writ, which was made returna6le next
Saturday morning at 70 o'clock. Fallon
again gave bonds and was released. Iils
same action had been planned for the case
Of County Collector Egan. but after
conference with County Judge Carey 1t
WAS decided 10 defer action unul to-day
when Justice Swayze will be at the court
house to preside at the trial Of Egan.
