GIRLS AS HUSBAND HUNTERS.
Experience Proves They Don't Want
Help in Choosing Life Partner.

To the many fads of vocational
training in the public schools a new
one was proposed at the recent
Teachers Institute in Cincinnati by
DR.. Holmes, a psychologist of the
University of Pennsylvania, says the
New York World. He says "All teach
ers should teach their pupils how to
distinguish real man from an imlta-
ton one. When a girl marries she
is married to the family of the man
for four or five generations back. If
his grandparents were deficient she
will have to expect trouble with her
children"
There is a certain sex partiality in
the inference that the proposed in
struction be given only to girl
pupils. Surely, on equal grounds.
boys should be taught to know a real
girl from an imitation one. A boy
may not have to marry girls family
five generations back, but he certain
ly has to accept the old folks, and if
he has been careless he will have to
expect trouble with his mother-in-
law.
But waving the issue of partiality
and considering only the vocation of
the girl as a husband chooser, very
little reflection will bring out the
well-nigh hopeess absurdity of the
proposed education. Nearly 5000
years of experience recorded in tales
and histories proves that the more
a girl is taught and educated to
marry A>particular man the more she
doesn't do it. And who shall decide
between what is the real man and
what the imitation? Can any school
teacher do it better than the school
girl of marriageable age?

Too Many Hatrack Ears.

A. L. Bauer, owner of farm ten
anted by William Trichler, at Congo,
near here, has field of corn so re-
markable for it's tall stalks-many
being over fifteen feet-that hun
dreds of people stop to look at it in
amazement.
Mr.. Bauer, pleased with the at
traction, and with twinkle in his
eyes, offered to a party of twenty
strangers 81 if they could place,
standing on tiptoe, their hats ION all
the big ears of corn in his feld."~
A six-foot-four rustic managed to
put his headgear on half dozen or
so, after a half-hour's strenuous
work, when the chuckle of the farm
er caused him to realize that to cover
perhaps 100000 such ears would
be the work of a month.-Penns-
burg, Pa, telegram to the Philadel-
phia Record.

A Lost Dog.

While travelling through the West

Farming Notes.

If you laid-by your corn and cot
ton this summer with big ridge
with a turning plow, now is a
good time to go and look at the crop
made by some other farmer who cul-
tivated his crops fiat and shallow. I
think that you will be able to see the
results of the dry weather on. your
corn or cotton rather than on the
other.
The department Of agriculture
gives the value of beef cattle in the
Northern and Western States at Sc
to SO per hundred, and in the South
from $3.50 to 81. Is it not time for
every Southern farmer to go to work
and doall he can to eradicate the ticks
and to raise the type of cattle fed?
The ticks are the chief impediment
to the raising of beef cattle in the
South and the price of Southern beef
cattle will always be less than those
in the North till the ticks are starved
out and the stock improved.
You cannot farm as well as you
should until you have good stock and
grow plenty of forage for them to
eat. Humus making crops and ma
nure are the great needs of the
Southern lands. Now is a good time
to take into consideration an improv-
ing rotation of crops, and start it at
once. See to it that every acre of
your land has green growth on it
this winter and that you have no
stalk fields wasting fertility in the
winter rains. Dead cotton and corn
stalks are no protection to the soil.

the young and beautiful Dutch bar
oness, Madame Van Boren, who wss
kidnapped recently at Ostend and

Needle Works Way Across Shoulders

Milwaukee. Oct. Mrs. Frances
Sedowaski, a widow, 33 years of age,
of No. 1919 Fifth avenue, had a
remarkable experience which termin-
ated in an operation to remove long
needle from her right hand.
The needle entered her left wrist.
1t worked up her arm, across her
shoulders, down her right arm and
into her hand before it caused suffi-
cinet pain and distress to necessitate
an operation.
Mrs. Sedowaski said she did not
know when the needle entered her
wrist. She experienced pain more
than a year ago and she was treated
by a physician. At times she was in
pain, but her condition was not Sc
rious until she went to the Emer-
gency Hospital to undergo an opera
ton which was successful.

MARK FOSTER IN JAIL
Hardwick's Ascending Town
Treasurer Caught in Texas
and Brought to Vermont

On Friday, March /, almost four
years from the day he left Hard
wick on account of 4 shortage in his
accounts of nearly $4,000 as treas
urer of that town AND village, Mark
E. Foster looked up from his work
in a trench on a ranch near Mar
shall, Texas, into the face of How
ard w. Morgan, a Boston detective,
who had been on his trail for nearly
six weeks, and realized that the law
had overtaken him and that he must
pay the penalty for his breach of
trust.
"It's alright, sir, I'm the man.
I'll go with you quietly. How soon
can we start back" These were
Fosters words when he found that
he was caught Detective Morgan
said after landing his prisoner in
jail here Monday evening that Fos-
ter had been a perfect gentleman
since his arrest and did everything
possible to avoid trouble on the
trip, and, sitting in the jail Office
yesterday morning, Foster said: I
want to acknowledge the courteous
treatment that l have received at
the hands of the officers, both here
and on the way back from Texas.
This was all he cared to say 1T that
time and he win probably await the
June term of county court when his
case will be disposed of. 70 Mr.
Morgan he said he should plead
guilty to the charge against him and
hoped that his sentence would be
short enough so he could come cut
of prison and redeem his record be-
fore death overlook him.
Howard w. Morgan is a member
of the Wood-Morgan Detective
Agency of Boston and has been en-
gagged for months in the pursuit Of
Vermont criminals. He and his firm
are the men who have run down the
21 yeggs that have been caught and
convicted within the past few
months for crimes committed in Yer
mont. Six weeks ago yesterday he
learned that a man thought to be
Foster had been seen in or near
Marshall, Texas, and he started for
that city to begin search. He f.
nally found his man employed as
foreman on thes Sue Belle Lake
Farm, three miles outside of Mar
shall, where he had been working for
year under the name or James r.
Trevette.
Story of Fosters Wanderings.
Fosters story told to Detective
Morgan of how he spent his time
since leaving Hardwick reveals
hardship and privation and shows
the relentless force of guilt in driv-
ing him from place to place clear
across the continent and back again
and then back to Texas.
AS already known, when Foster
left his home in Hardwick, Sunday
night, April 10, 1908, after singing |
in the Easter Sunday exercises of
the church, he went to Montpelier |
where he left his team and took the |
train for New York. He took $500 /
with him and that was all between /
him and want. He remained in
