MURDERER TRACED BY DOG
Animal Follows Man Who Killed
Girl to a Ballroom and
Attacks Him.

Geneva-The little village OF Al
staetten, in the canton OF St Gall, has
offered a striking illustration Of the
value of dogs IN criminal detection,
provided the animal be placed on the
trail early In the affair.
Alstaetten was celebrating a feast
day this week, and, according to Gus
tom, the villagers ended the day OF
floral dances and games in the open
with a banquet and ball at the prin.
Cipal local restaurant.
AT about s o'clock on the day OF
the celebration a pretty Swiss girl.
Mile. Regina Staebbler. aged seven
teen, was found dead in a lonely road
just outside the village. The discov-
cry was made by some peasants on
their way to the restaurant The POI

vestigation of the spot. They found
clutched in the victims hand a small
piece Of cloth which had evidently
been torn from the clothing of her as
sailant during the struggle
The police were about to repair to
the restaurant and look among the
dancers for a man whose clothing
might show signs of being torn when
it was suggested that a dog might be
used A wolf-hound was procured and
made to smell of the torn cloth. He
started off on the trail, leading the
police through fields and by paths to
the restaurant where the ball was 60
ing on. He scrambled out and In
among the dancers, and finally pounc-
ed upon a man who was dancing and
tried to attack him.
The latter was arrested and his
clothing examined. A hole was found
into which the piece of cloth exactly
fitted Confronted by this evidence,
the man made confession. He had
killed Regina because she had left

1850 Boys Dismissed as Result-Time
Machine Blamed for the
Trouble.

London-"Strike at the Bank OF
England; Picketing the Old Lady OF
Threadneedle Street" and similar
headlines in the evening papers gave
the city a mild sensation,
One hundred and fifty boys from
the printing department of the bank
were dismissed in the morning and
many of them spent several hours in
marching round and round the great
square building somewhat disconso-
lately, with dinner baskets or parcels
under their arms.
The cause of the trouble, the boys
alleged, was the unsatisfactory work
ing of a new time checking machine
installed recently to register the in
comings and outgoings of the boys.
1T takes such long time said
one boy. ito take our checks out
when we go to dinner and put them
in on returning that a good part OF

.POTTED PLANTS IN
THE WINTER SEASON
Plant Should Be Made as Nearly
Natural as PoSSibIe-Air
and Sunshine Needed.

1t must be borne in mind that a
plant in a pot is trying to develop
itself under unnatural conditions and
it must be assisted in every possible
way, and the conditions under which
it labors should be made as nearly
natural as possible. 1t must be sup
piled with fresh air in liberal quanti-
ties as frequently as the weather will
admit. 1t must be given the benefit
of all sunshine furnished by the short
winter days, If 1t is a sunshine-loving
plant, as most Towering plants are.
If it is not particularly fond Of sun.
shine it will require good light In
liberal amount. And in order to
make development as thorough as
possible. and lay the foundation for
future good work in the production of
flowers, it must be supplied with all
the nutriment it can make use of, for
no plant can do itself justice unless it
is well fed. And water must also be
given in proportion to the needs o.
the plant at this season.

This New York self-made huckster
buys fruit and vegetables just as they
come from the farmers wagons. They
are delivered at his place often Gov
cred with dirt, the fruit bruised and
scratched, vegetables untrimmed and
all generally unsorted.
The fruit, particularly the larger
varieties, such as apples, peaches and
pears. are carefully sorted and graded
by the huckster, the apples washed,
and the fruit is packed in small boxes
or baskets, clean, uniform and highly
attractive in appearance. Small fruits

sorted and repacked in clean boxes.
Cherries are packed in boxes that
hold from one-half peck to one peck,
and over the top is tackled gauze to
protect them from insects.
All root-vegetables are carefully
washed, topped and bound in punches.
Tomatoes are graded and repacked in
clean baskets, and no damaged vege-
tables are offered for sale.
This man can prove by his books
that he makes a net profit of from
25 to 100 per cent by his method of
handling and marketing.
There is no reason why the men
who grow fruit and vegetables
should not make equally as big profit,
provided they possess the faculty for
organization and the patience and
pride necessary to put up their pro,
ducts in a style that will most readily
attract the eyes of their customers.
While 1t is not always practicable
for the farmer or gardener to sell
direct to the consumer he can, by
careful sorting and packing his pro
duct. get a much better price when
selling to the retail dealer than he
can II he follows the old-fashioned
methods Of dumping everything into
