NEW INDUSTRY
FARM WEALTH
State Can Grow Own Sugar,
Adding S15,0O0,OO0
Yearly to Industrial
Wealth.

The average American consumes
eighty-two pounds Of sugar each year,
and only ten pounds of that ration are
now produced In this country. The
farmers of the country should keep
that money at home-in other words,
put 1t in their own pockets"
The foregoing statement appears In
a bulletin which the Department of Ag-
Hculture has just issued reviewing the
progress of the beet sugar industry
during the past year The report pro-
ceeds to point out that while the pro-
duction of sugar from beets has ad-
vanced very rapidly, more than 5,OOO,-
600 tons of beets having been grown
last season, 100000 acres additional
should be devoted to this crop In or
der to produce at home the sugar now
purchased from abroad
This is a subject of particular In
terest to Indiana for the reason that
this state lies I'm the center Of one of
the most important beet sugar produc-
Ing sections Of the country. Not only
have repeated tests In sugar beet
growing demonstrated that Indiana
soil Is adapted to the production Of
this valuable crop, but the successful
operation during the past season Of
the states first beet sugar factory has
proved 1t cOnclusiyely. Although the
season was an unfavorable one and

Not Afraid of n Ghost.

In village in England a man
went running into an inn at
o'clock at night and cried out that
there was a ghost in his back yard.
There were fourteen men in the
inn, and not one of them dared to
go home with the man and investi-
gate. There was a person who
dared, however, and that was the
landlords daughter, a girl of four
teen. Some of the men followed
her at a distance. and she went into

The Last OF the judicial Prosecution
and Executions.
Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, ha,
hanged two poor women at Cam
bridge In 1864, but few years late
Lord Chief Justice Holt set him
self strongly against such charge
and In every case tried before hin
directed the jury to bring in a yer
dict OF acquittal. In a celebrated
trial at Guildford il 17O1 not onl,
was the supposed witch found no
guilty, but her false accuser, on,
John Hathaway, was condemned t.
o years Imprisonment and to stanc
In the pillory three times. Yet
horrible to relate, woman named
Hicks and her daughter, child o.
nine, were hanged together al
Huntingdon on July 20, 1716, fol
raising a storm of wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence fo,
witchcraft in England was in 1876
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the In
dictment, of "conversipg familiar
~ with the devil in the form of q
cat" The judge, however, procured
a reprieve for poor old Jane, and
she was ultimately released, to end
her days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was re-
pealed for the United Kingdom in
the same year. 1t was quite time,
for only nine years earlier, in 1r27,
a woman was brought before Cap
tain David Ross, deputy sheriff Of
Sutherland, charged with Causing
her daughter to be shod by the dev,
g." and so making her lame both in
hands and feet. The fact having
been proved to the captains salts
faction, the old woman was put into
q tar barrel and burned at Dornoeh.
The weather being GELD at the time,
we are told that she "sat composed
ly warming herself by the fire pre-
pared to consume her while the 9TH
er instruments of death were get
ting ready"
The last attempt to execute a
witch IL England ended disastrously
for the perpetrators. In 1851 at
Tring two Old people named Os-
borne, man and wife, being, suspect
ed of witchcraft, were seized by a
crowd, stripped, cross bound and
thrown into pond Both died Of
this brutal treatment. But the

ley, the chief instigator of the as
eault, he was in due course tried
and hanged.-Cornhill Magazine.

kvsn the Disnified English Butler Car
Go Astray at Times.

A little story which has jus,
found its way across the Atlantic
from an English country house tell:
OF the recent slip made by a new
and nervous butler in serving his
master, a duke, at the luncheon ta-
bic. Quiet, respectful and assidu-
Gus, he proffered dish with the in
sinuating query:
"Cold grace, your grouse ?"
The slip is so obviously a nat
ural one that doubtless the tale is
true. Thus far it is also unchal-
lenged as new, although probably
by the time it has made the full
round of the press somebody will
discover that in its original form
it was an Athenian Chestnut" in
the days of Socrates.
An anecdote which at least be-
longs to the same family used to be
laughed over in early Victorian
drawing rooms.
Among the royalties, great and
little, who came to London for the
young queens coronation there
was certain small, dried up, gray
haired, bright eyed, brisk little old
reigning prince Of tiny principali-
ty. He was faraway cousin to an
Irish duke, whose estates in Ire
land he visited before returning.
For his entertainment village cell
ebration was arranged, with games
and dances, and especially Irish jigs
and clog dances
The gay old prince was delight
ed He came himself of a race fa-
nous for its dancing. He still pos
sessed good eye, a quick ear and
q light foot. That same evening in
the great hall of the castle, to the
of his hosts son, he en-
deavored to emulate some of the
feats he had seen.
The dukes solemn English but
Ter was present, and hi. horror at
such unroyal antics was reflected in
his eyes. The prince perceived it
and, shooting a sudden forefnger
1t him, = ~demanded imper;susly:
'Ehl Tell me, then, what you
think of my dancingp
Discreet and dignifed, but fur
red mwardly, the buffers manner
vas perfect, but his tongue betray-
I'd him. He answered:
'FYour royal spryness is certain
y Ugh"
There was a shout of laughter,
md the duke, with assumed anger,
,ried sternly: "Whatl Do you dare
o insinuate that the prince is ele-
his vivacity is due to
my other good spirits than his
'wn?"
Before such an accusation the
,oor buffers last remnant of COM

lighness to his grace, he protested
