LOCKED IN A BANK.
Alexandria Lady a Prisoner Over
Four Hours in a Washington
Building.

Miss Fannie B. Hunter, who is so
well known in Alexandria was detain-
ed for a few hours in the banking
house of Louis Johnson and Company,
at 1905 Pennsylvania avenue, Wash
ington, yesterday afternoon where her
relative, Mr.. John Sheldon has an OF
flee. When Miss Hunter found her
self locked in the building she
viewed her plight philosophlcally
and prepared to spend the night
in the building. She stoutly refused
to give her name to the crowd out
side the building, but requested that
they notify DR.. Warfeld, of Alexan-
dria, to advise her relatives that she
would not be home for the night. She
then told the crowd that she was going
up stairs to bed and assembled the
steps of the bank building to the office
rooms of her first cousin, John Sheldon
lawyer ON the third floor. For some
time she has been sharing her cousins
office for the performance Of some
private business.
Mr.. Sheldon left the Office yesterday
afternoon about three o'clock. Miss
Hunter remained in the office and did
not notice how late it was. About 5
o'clock, little girl was passing the
building when she heard tapping on
the ponderous bank door. She stop
ned and listened and then looked thro-
ugh the glass panes in the door. An
elderly woman was on the inside. The
woman spoke to the little girl but the
child was unable to hear distinctly
The girl told passers by of the occur
renee, but when they returned the
feminine form had disappeared.
About 7 o'clock the police were
notified and hurried to the window
and asked Miss Hunter her name
but she declined to make it known
Policeman Lambert told Miss Hunter
that he would soon have her freed
but she seemed little concerned.
About 8 o'clock William Bell, of the
Arlington Fire Insurance Company
which occupies the upper part of th'
building, and William A. Mearns, Of
the Lewis Johnson Banking Company
made their appearance with key.
Entering the office of John Sheldon
they discovered Miss Hunter seated a
a desk beneath an electric lamp writ
ing. The men announced that she wa
free to leave, and she put up her pa
pers and started for Alexandria.
Miss Hunter stated this morning
that she did not call for the police bu
had requested someone outside tn
window to send a message to Dr. War
field in Alexandria to notify her rel
atives that it was her intention to re
main all night in MIR. Shelden's office
as she was locked in the building.

BOYS IN DANGER

This is a season of the year when
parents should be very careful IN
watching their boys who are in the
habit of going near the river. Seve-
raj crowds of little boys go in swim
ming every afternoon and during the
last few days two boys have had mar
row escapes from being drowned.
Small boys should not be permitted to
90 in the river unless accompanied by
a person who can swim. This is a
time of the year when boy yearns
for the water and unless he is care
fully watched he will take every op-
portunity to endulgc in plunge.

THE LUCK OF A POULTRY MAN
Kills the Looter of He Chicken Coop
by the BlIndest Sort Of
Chance.

Bloomfield, N. J.-Caspar Robling,
a farmer of Richfield, five miles from
Bloomfield. accidentally shot himself
in the left hand and at the same time
killed a mink which had been hiding
in q large tuft of tall grass near by.
For some time Mr.. Robling has
been missing chickens and discovered
the loss of a prize-winning rooster.
vowing vengeance on everything and
anything as he left the coop, he spied
neighbor's dog crossing field ad-
joining his yard. He got his shotgun
and started in pursuit of the dog. He
tripped on some underbrush, and as
he fell the gun was discharged and
several shot entered his hand. AS he
arose to his feet he saw lying in front
of him a dead mink, and alongside OF
1t the feathers and a portion of the
carcass of his prize rooster.

PL0W UNDER FORAGE CROPS
Experience Teaches That Unless Care
ful Selection OF Crop 10 Made
Loss 10 Result.
(By w. M. KELLEY.l

-
My experience In using green for
age crops to improve the soil has
convinced me that unless we make an
intelligent selection of the crops that
are grown the work is often done at q
loss.
To be Of value the crop that Ia turn
ed under must be one that obtains
considerable of its plant food from
the atmosphere, either directly or
Indirectly, or else one that has deep
roofing system that brings up much
of It's plant food from below the
depths reached by the roots Of other
plants.
A plant that obtains all of it's food
from the surface soil adds nothing to
the fertility Of the land when 1t is
plowed under, except that 1t assists
In forming humus and improving the
mechanical conditions of the soil, thus
enabling the plants to develop better
root systems.
We have found red clover especially
adapted for all kinds of soils where It
would thrive. It and the other mem
bers Of the legume family are In my
opinion the only plants that we can
afford to use in building up our soils,
except on certain soils where the me.
chanical condition is such that other
crops must be employed before a
stand of clover can be obtained.
In dairying sections we have found
red clover too valuable a forage croI
to plow under for soil improving pur
poses until after the first crop has
been harvested for hay.
The second crop, together with the
manure resulting from feeding the
first crop will supply an abundance
of humus for the three year rotation
Of crops practiced on the best dairy
farms. The roots, stubble and the
second crop of forage will afford very
near as much humus forming material
and nitrogen as the whole of the first
crop.
