Getting Around French Law.

1t is against the law in France to
make derogatory statements about a
servant, even although those state
ments may happen to be true. An
employer who refused to recommend
a cook "by reason of her extrava-
gance, impertinence, and prediction
to drink" was prosecuted by said cook
and fined for libel, the court inform
ing her that the truth of the charges
had nothing to do with the matter.
Henceforth French housekeepers, says
the New York Sun, in order to evade
the responsibilities placed upon them
by the law have issued certificates Of
character in form something like the
following: This certifies that Nine.
Marie. late nurse of my daughter. aged
one year, did not leave her on bench
in the Jardin des Plantes and go
away and forget her on October ~
last"

DID GOOD DETECTIVE WORK
Resulted in Identification of
Annoying Poachers.

A gamekeeper in England awakened
to the fact that in the silent watches
of the night some of his pheasants
were being Systematically purloined.
Footprints were always discernible,
but, as there was nothing remarkable
about any of them, they were of no
value for detective purposes. They
served, however, to suggest a plan.
He went to the local cobbler and Of
fered him generous reward for the
performance of very simple task.
When three suspected persons sent
their boots for repairs, the nails or
Jackets were to be placed in the soles
according to different designs which
the keeper would provide. The son of
st. Crispin agreed to the proposal, and
it was carried into effect as opportun-
ty offered.
The result was that a charge of
poaching has been proved against two
of the three men through the distinc-
tive impressions made by their boots
in the retentive soil. The cobbler's
connivance in the keepers little
scheme has of course, been kept a
strict secret.

EARLY DAYS ON THE BATTERY
Men Great In History Have Visited
New York's Most Famous Point
Overlooking Sea.

Superb was the view from the Bat
terry in the old days, and glorious are
the wraiths who still haunt its paved
and shaded places.
Talleyrand, se'f-exiled from France,
a hundred-odd years ago often paced
slowly along where thousands now
move, who, perhaps, never heard of
him.
After Talleyrand came Louis Phil
lipe and Jerome Bonaparte, both of
whom knew and admired the Battery.
Lafayette walked it's sea wall and
gazed out on the bay. and here saun-
tered that audacious traitor, Benedict
Arnold. ruined by an ungovernable
temper and Tory wife.
Here, in the same strenuous days,
came Clinton and CORVALLIS, and
here, through the vista of half a cen
fury, we witness the new worlds
loud-voiced welcome to Kossuth.
Nor is the fact to be forgotten that
in ancient Castle Garden, transformed
from fort into an opera house, Jen-
ny Lind, one autumn night in 1850,
began the triumphal progress which
made the name of that richly lowered
queen of song household word in
every nook and corner of America

Outdoor Diary.

Two women who have acquired the
tramping habit keep diaries of the
great outdoors. Each writes in her
book an account of the long walks
they take together, and they derive
much pleasure from looking over past
entries and also from exchanging their
books and noting how differently the
same things have impressed them.
Sometimes one account Of a walk is

Made Money on Cows

Paul Loveland, who is rum
ing the Loveland farm just west
of the city, is convinced of the
money to be made in stock rails
ing in Bayfield, county. Last
summer Paul purchased a car
load of lean COWS, shipping the
same to this city. The COWS and
the'freight amounted to $IO28. 26.
The COWS were turned unto the
cut over lands where they were
allowed to roam at will during
the summer months. During
the summer three of the herd
died and the balance were sod
off for beef cattle during the
mouth of December, bringing
$1553.66. a profit Of 1928. 40.
Not so bad for the little work.
Paul has also engaged in the
raising of hogs. He now has
forty hogs on his farm and
is feeding them in a scienti-
ic way, giving them just what
they need to keep them healthy
and growing. and no more. Dur
ing the past summer he built
a model hog house, installing
steam heat. Paul believes in
having good place for his hogs
for he says that what he saves
in feed that would be needed by
the hogs to keep them warm
more than pays for the coal that
he burns. Paul figures that if a
hog does not have to heat his
own bedroom with corn he can
put the surplus on his back in
fat
Paul also intends purchasin g
some good Holstein cows during
the coming spring, and they will
be placed on the farm. Butter
will be made from the butter
fat and the skim milk will be fed
to the hogs.
A silo will be built upon the
farm during the coming sum-
mer in order to lower the cost of
the feed for the cattle and the
hogs. Paul is good at figuring
and he says that the secret of
farming is keeping down ex-
penses and getting money out
of everything raised.
