ARBoR BAYS OF THE FARMER
Interest Added to Rural Life BY Set
ting Out Trees 10 Commemorate
Important Events.

Everyone ought to cultivate a
friendship for trees, and along with
his animal friends have few tree
friends. He could do no better to
commemorate an event In his family
life than to set out a tree and name
It with the name OF what he would
remember-have arbor days of his
own.
Where family has been sentiment
tai enough to do this you win find
trees about the house named John,
Henry, Susie. Clara, etc, in memory
Of the birth Of the children. You
will see tree somewhere near the
gate called the telephone tree. be-
cause It was planted the year the tele-
phone was put in the house.
There will be another tree some
where near that one called the free
delivery tree, commemorating the year
the mail was first brought to the
door. There will also be some small
trees. among them the auto tree, in
memory Of the first automobile owned
by the farmer, and the air tree, to re-
member the thrill experienced upon
seeing the first aeroplane.
What romance and interest this
adds to rural or suburban lifei-Farr
and Home.

Stefurak Repeats Assault on Better Half = Wife Tries to Shield Him in Court.

Smashing a plate right across his wife's face to demonstrate his hus- bandly affection, John Stefurak, of 209 Helen street, on probation for a previous assault on his better half. created rumpus at his home early last evening.
 Mrs. Stefurak rushed down the street, bleeding from several ugly cuts on the forehead and nose where the dish took effect. She met Patro1man ried to the house and arrested Ste furak.
 In the city court this morning Mrs. Stefurak experienced a complete change of heart and tried to get her husband off. Prosecutor Redden and Judge Wilder Tread the riot act" to her for attempting to conceal the facts. The cuts on her face were good evidence, but she tried to tell the court that it was an accident.
 An old sentence of 30 days which was hanging over Stefurak's head, was reopened and he was sent to jail to serve it. In addition, Judge Wilder added sixty days more and suspended judgment, with the idea that if Ste- furak becomes lively again, he will go up for the additional sixty without further ado.
 On the occasion of his previous arr rest, Stefurak had chased his wife around with an axe, threatening to emulate Henry the VIIIth by cutting off her head.

Extra Sporting Page
JIM C0RBETT'S COMMENT
 ON THE BOXING SITUATION
 FOR READERS OF THE FARMER

the right thing in standing for the rough work.
 There is only one answer, and that lies in the rules. When a fighter de- liberately commits a foul 1t is the ref eree's duty to disqualify him. At times a contestant fouls his opponent accidentally and in such cases, if no great harm Is done, the offender Is let off with a reprimand and caution ed not to repeat under penalty of dis qualification; but where the offense is deliberate, or repeated, there is no alternative for the official arbiter but to stop proceedings then and there and to disqualny the offender. There should not be the slightest argument on that point.
 A rule that is not lived up to is a system. Modern boxing rules were framed to eliminate the objectionable features of old style prize ring meth ods, and referee who hasn't cour- age to enforce them is not fit to serve in that important capacity.
 In New York state, fortunately, the Commissioners in charge are devotees of the sport and consequently have done everything in their power to help keep 1t from falling into disrepute. It is due not a little to the creditable manner in which the Commissioners have performed their official functions that the sport survived the attack re- gently made upon it by the profes- sional reform element in the state legislature.

 New Haven, April 6-Frederick W. Donnelly, the real estate man, is again in the limelight, this time for attempting to shoot Martin Gray. manager of the Cafe Callahan. He has been placed under $500 bonds. Donnelly is out under $100 bonds for appearance in the Bridgeport police court where he will face charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
 The shot which Donnelly fired at Gray went wild, imbedding itself in wall and before he could shoot again he was placed under restraint.
 MT. Donnelly, who was arrested for the shooting, is we'll known in real estate circles in this city The pres- ent trouble follows closely upon his arrest in Bridgeport few days ago when Donnelly was held by the po- lice pending further investigation in- to the poisoning of Capt. Reed. He was released Thursday in Bridgeport and returned to this city. MT. Don- nelly and Capt Reed were staying at the same place and the latter drank dangerous condition. Mir. Donnelly claimed that Reed had asked him to recommend an antiseptic and he had suggested carbOlic acid, and it ap- pears that the captain drank some of the acid.
 The management of the Cafe Cal. lahan was in no way responsible for the trouble. MT. Callahan was deeply mortified at its occurrence, but there was no way in which 1t could be averted.

The cut which appears else where shows the front eleva- tion of Ebbets Field, the fu- ture home of the Brooklyn National League Baseball club, at Bedford ave-, Sullivan and Montgomery streets and Cedar place, which President Ebbets expects to open to the public in August.
 Ebbets Field is superbly located, be- ing in the exact centre of a popula- tion of 100000 persons; in fact, the geographical centre of Greater New York is only one-half mile from the field. The transit facilities are well nigh perfect, no fewer than twelve direct lines of surface and elevated electric lines being within two min- utes' walk of the field, these twelve lines transferring to eighteen connect ing lines; thus the most remote points in Brooklyn and summer homes or Long Island, via the Long Island Railroad, are quickly and convenient ly reached

Narrowly escaping death under the wheels of switcher in the East End freight yards last evening, John Bo- jetsky, mill hand who was thrown out of work by the strike at Law renee, Mass, escaped that danger only to fall into the arms of Railroad Detective O'Brien, who arrested him for trespass on the railroad property.
 Bojetsky told the court that he was only seeking for work of any descrip- tion, and that he had been destitute and out of job since the inception of the Lawrence strike some months. ago. In broken English he describ- ed his plight.
 The court sent him to jail for 10 days, not for punishment but to give him a chance to clean up and get a little decent food into his system.
