agreed that il looked that way to
me. However, Mr.. Neff told of other
things not connected with his first dol
lar, which seems TO have been an i
sive sort of c%ritter.
Joseph Neff was the oldest OF eight
children-his brother Isaac, former
principal Of the high school, was the
third. and the brother in between was
bigger than either of them.
Father was pretty generous with
us boys and let us claim this and
that. That is. whenever a new colt
appeared on the farm n of we three
boys would claim it as our W. Some
times we all would claim ii, but father
was arbiter in such cases. and we all
accepted the decision of the high
court. The next time one Of the other
BOYS would get a calf, OF a lamb, or
two or three pigs. once there was a

it was finally sold for $67 the money

mare Betty that father sold, and my
STARE of it was $40.
Which rather reflects on Betty's
value as a beast Of burden, or a fam
ily horse. or an ornament, if the pro-
ceeds of her sale was evenly divided
up among the three boys.

TONIGHT! TAKE A
 'CASCARETS" SURE
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach, Coated Tongue or Constipated Bowels By Morning.

Turn the rascaIs out-the head ache, the biliousness, the indiges- ton, the sick. sour stomach and foul gaseS-turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets-
 Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach.
 Don't put in another day of dis tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg uIate your stomach; remove the sour, undigeSted and fermenting food and that misery making gas; take the ex- cess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poison in the in- testines and bowels. Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely Stra1ghten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love to take Cas- carets because they taste good never gripe or sicken.-Adv.

 AT PARK THEATRE
Large Audience Sees And Hears Primrose And DockStader In Melody And
 Mirth

George Primrose and Lew Dockstad- er ye o1de time nninstrels and tall ented company entertained large and representative audience at the Park theatre last night. Part one in- troduced a medley of old songs that have been made famous in former years by the famous ninstrels and which marked back in the memories of many present for three decades. Dock stader did Theodore Roosevelt in black face and addressed a gathering of suffragists upon the fact that he kept the faith when he said: q will not be president a third tfme''. He also revived his famous monologue in loose fitting evening clothes.
 George Primrose who has been be- fore the public since grandfather was a boy showed that he still has some claim to being Americas most grace full dancer" He was assisted by Johnny Foley and Johnny Murphy. A big hit of the performance was the singing of Raymond wylie, the man with two voices who rendered the bar itone and soprano parts of "Miserere" from 'fII Trovatore.'

 The election of MT. Rogers was the first business of last evenings meet ing. On the first ballot, he received all the votes, but some of them were made out with MT Rogers name and initials incorrectly. The board mem bers were told what his real name is and the ballot was made unanimously formal for James Gam b1e Rogers.
 Col. E. H. Ravens, of the board, to- day explained the unaninity of Mr. Rogers selection as follows:
 'fFolIowing the appearance before the board of thirty or more architects the members held several conferences to consider the qualifications of the applicants. After the claims of all architects had been discussed, it was decided to vote on the matter Each member was priyileged to vote for six men, from the list of thirty odd we had heard. This ballot resulted as follows:
 .'starrett, g. Triton. s; Rogers. S: Riggs. 2; Northrop, 6; scattering, 6.
 After this ballot, we decided to each member vote for five. There were eleven members present and the ballot was: Starrett, g; Hilton, 10: Rogers, 8; Stoddard, 10; Southey, 8; Stephens. 5; Scott, 5.
 we then wrote these seven archi- tects asking them to present sketches of their life and work. When these sketches were received, another ballot was taken, each member voting for four of the seven names. The ballot 6; Southey, 8; Stoddard, 6; Starrett, Il: Scott and Rossitter, 1.
 ''The number of votes was then limited to three for each member and the next ballot was: Rogers. 10; Til. ton, I; Stephens, 4; Southey, 2; Stod- dard, 5; zStarrett, 8; Scott. 1.
 When the members choice was CTS, II; Southey, 8; Starrett, '.
 t'The final ballot, which meant an election, resulted in votes for MT. Rogers and for MT. Starrett."
 John J. Cul1inan, William H. Board man and Col. B. H. Ravens are the committee to confer with MT: Rogers on his arrival here. When the time for talking about building arrives the heads of various departments will submit in writing to the board, just what they think should be included in the new school for their especial branches

AssaiIant of Woodchopper Has Been Involved in Many
 Murderous Affairs
Special to The Farmer)

(SpGC1a1 to The F'arm6r)
 Bedding, Feb 18-As the result of a quarrel in an isolated cabin on the outskirts of the town of Wilton, Will liam Keeler, a woodSman shot four fingers from the hand of hIs\ partner, William Martin, and severely wound ed him in the thigh and leg with a charge of buckshot fired at close range. Martin is in the hospital at Norwa1k where it is feared poison ing may ensue it was some time could be dressed. Keeler is under ar-I rest and was yesterday bound over for action of the superior court upon a charge of assault with intent to kill.
 According to the relation of the fn- jured man he and Keeler had been partners in the woo0-curting opera tions in the town Of Bedding, near the Georgetown section of the Bedding boundary line. They had been play ing cards and drinking heavily of solved partnership and was about to leave for the home of relatives in Georgetown when Keeler produced his shotgun and announced that he would attempted to leave the cabin and Keeler shot him on the spot. It was not until Sunday morning that Mar tin was conveyed to the NorwaIk hos pftal.
 Kee1er who is forty years old, about the same age his victim, bears very bad reputation in the vicinity, having started his criminal career at the age of 16 when he was sent to a reform school. He has already spent the fourth shooting scrape in which he has been implicated. For the last he spent six years behind the bars. Martin, a resident of Bedding, bears hospital treatment at the expense of the town.
