Saws Home in Two Dividing Property

bales of hay, grain and farming imple-
ments. Two lumber wagons were
easy to divide. but the one surrey
was a problem.
Ponder solved this puzzle by hav-
ing the wagon pulled out to a vacant
lot and burned. SO that neither would
have the vehicle Then the one horse
owned by the couple was turned loose
and allowed to wander away. Mrs.
Ponder became little angered at this
and demanded how her erstwhile hus-
band was going to share the real es-
tate and the property. The land was
easy to divide, Ponder said, and he
had a scheme that would make equal
the sharing of the house and barn.
Going to an clubhouse he got long
cross cut saw and climbing to the
roof of the dwelling house measured
the roof tree, and then finding the ex-
act center of the building started to
saw through the shingles. Mrs. Pom
der began screaming for help.
The man had cut his way through
two of the rafters before the police ar
rived and he was forced to stop his
equal division operations. Ponder de-
clares that he is within his rights and
that there is nothing in the agree
ment signed in the court room that
says anything about how the property
shall be shared SO long as 1t Is done
with fairness to each.

Mud Turtles are Served as Terrapin

CT. PAUL, Minn.-Mississippi river
> fishermen in Wisconsin have devel-
oped a handsome trade in shipping
turtles to the east. where they are
sold in competition with the famous
terrapin of the Baltimore region. Es-
pecially in Lent has the shipment OF
the common swapping turtle been a
prosperous business.
A typical shipment was that sent re-
Gently by w. T. Allen to Philadelphia
for distribution in coast cities to COM
pete with the most famous delicacy of
Baltimore. The shipment contained
1875 live swapping turtles and weighed
1929 pounds. 1t netted Allen $50.
Despite the fact that the turtles had
been in a cellar without food or drink
or care of any kind since last October.
they were game enough as they were
put aboard the train to snap and bite
with considerable belligerence. 1t is
expected they still will be alive when
they reach Philadelphia.
Some of the turtles weighed twenty
five pounds each. They were caught
in one of the sesSnant sloughs Of the
Mississippi. At the ice-forming time
in the fall 1t is the habit of turtles to
seek some sheltered spot near a bunch
Of weeds or a sunken log and burrow
in the mud beside it until their bodies
are about half covered and their heads
wholly SO There they stay until the
ice goes out in the spring, score or
more of them sometimes together.
After the ice in the slough is strong
enough to bear his weight Mr.. Allen
