Paid for Gambling.

The only instance known wherein
an employe was paid by his employer
for gambling occurred in New Or
leans. Walter Lamana, a child OF
wealthy Italians, was kidnapped, and
the interest was intense throughout
the gulf coast country.
The staffs Of the two leading morn
ing dailies were engaged in draw
after hours, when the city editor of
one of them was called out. He sum-
moned reporter.
Get back in there and play at the

The reporter raised 'em and hoisted
'em and lifted 'em for an hour.
Then the game was broken up by
cries, o. Extra! Extra!" and the staff
OF the other paper read with emotion
that the body of the child had been
found.
There was a $40 check from the
editor in the reporters envelope next
pay day.

CARE OF POULTRY

Better to Have Small Flock in

eggs and twice the expense.
Leaves are good for the litter, and
now is the time to save some for the
hens to scratch this winter. Rake
them up while they are plentiful, and
store them somewhere under cover so
that they will be ready for use.
Save barrel of dry earth for the

will enjoy bathing in it, and you will
not need to use the insect powder SO
often.

PAYS FOR MURDER
WITH OWN LIFE.
Kinney Dies In Electric Chair
For Killing Capt. Byrns
DENIED THAT HE WAS GUILTY
Murderer Walked Unaided to His
Death - Prophesled Capture of
Man He Claims Fired
Fatal Shot.

Columbus.-Frank Kinney, at seven
minutes after midnight Thursday paid
the death penalty for the murder
of Capt. Ralph E. Byrns of Cleveland.
Kinney walked to the death chair
without a tremor. When asked if he
had anything to say before sentence
should be carried into effect, Kinney
said: 81 am innocent of the death of
Capt. Byrns. l did not fire the fatal
shot. AS time goes on, will be vim
dicated."
The crime OF which Frank Kinney was
convicted was committed on the evening
of Sunday. Feb. ., 1913. Shortly before S
O'Clock Kinney and another man, now de-
clared by Kinney to be John Dugan,
known as Johnnie the Kid" went to the
home of Capt. Ralph L. Byrns, a retired
commander of a lake steamer, in Ansel-
rd, near Wade Park. A short time before
they had burglarized another East End
residence.
Stepping onto the veranda, Kinney and
the Kid rang the doorbell Seeing no
lights and receiving no answer, they then
went to the rear of the house and pried
open kitchen window with the aid of
Jimmie" The Kid crawed through and.
unlocking the kitchen door, let Kinney in.
Both went upstairs, drew down the shades
in the front rooms and proceeded to rifle
the dressers I'm two bedrooms.
Capt and Mrs. Byrns had gone out to
take Sunday dinner with friends. About
S:15 O'Clock in the evening they returned
Catching glimpses of light through a
crack in the curtains above, Capt. Byrns
asked his wife if she had left the lights
burning upstairs. Entering the house, he
pressed a button, which automatically
turned on the electric lights downstairs,
and then pressed another which lighted
the hall light upstairs.
While Mrs. Byrns closed the front door
and proceeded to take off her coat, Capt.
Byrns started upstairs. On the landing,
half way up at the turn of the stairway.
he encountered two men, Kinney and the
Kid. One of them, the evidence at the
Kinney trial developed, pointed a revolver
at the captain and said: Hold up your
hands"
Then followed scuffle and the three
tumbIed down the stairs into the hall be-
low. Capt Byrns managed to wrench n
revolver from one of his assailants. All
three are believed to have fired several
times. Kinney and the Kid broke away
and ran for the lavatory off the hallway
downstairs. Capt. Byrns lay on the floor
dead.

The next step in order is the prun-
ing of trees, as the seasons growth of
wood is now thoroughly ripened and
there will be no bleeding from the
pruned branches, nor will there be
any checking of development among
the branches, both of which often
comes as result of spring pruning,
since one is apt to put off doing this
work till the sap begins to rise. or
neglects to do it at all.
Next years fruit crop depends
largely upon the efficiency with which
the pruning is done at this time. The
uniform distribution of branches,
height of the trees, and the health in
general of all parts of them left for
bearing fruit-all have their intlu-
ence. Branches should not be left
so long and slender that they will not
support goodly burden of fruit.
AS rule, all water sprouts, those
straight shoots running directly up.
ward from the main branches, should
be removed. Limbs that are seen to
be partly dead or decayed should be
cut back until one is sure no part of
them is left, as it would but invite
further decay, and the sustenance
drawn by them would be a useless
drain on the vitality of the trees.
All tall, thick, or top-heavy trees
demand close and careful pruning
Fruits which are reared high in mid
air are not as exempt from the ac-
tion of the wind as if they were low
er down. The top of the high tree
itself is very apt to be caught in the
high wind and damaged, perhaps ru-
ined, by being broken down or torn
up by the roots.

Henry Dyke, of Tennessee regi-

that drinking was against the regu-

The low-down uniformly pruned
tree also will produce more fruit, and
of a quality superior to that of the
tall tree, while the ease with which
the fruit is picked from the low trees
recommends them to all.
The ends of all low-hanglng
branches also should be pruned back,
so that one can pass under them on
foot, or with a vehicle in harvesting
the fruit crop which not only makes
the picking handler, but avoids dam
aging the trees by peeling and break
ing up the limbs.
After the pruning is completed, all
pruned limbs should be removed
from the orchard, the smaller ones
being utilized for filling up washes
about the farm, the larger ones being
hauled to the wood pile and used for
fuel. Where limbs of considerable
size have been sawed off, the stub
should be given a thick coat of paint,
which will guard against the wood
cracking during some of the very
warm days that usually come before
winter sets in.
Then this paint serves to hold the
wood together during the severe
freezing weather of midwinter.
Where it has been necessary to cut
down whole trees that were dead
or badly diseased, a note of these
should be made so that one can fill
in their places next spring with new,
young trees of the same varieties.
1t is also well to remember here
that the old and diseased trees not
only take up valuable space in the
orchard, but they are liable to spread
disease among the healthy trees, and
they always harbor pests that are in
furious to the entire orchard.

methods of snow fighting, blutkades
are still of frequent occurrence on
these mountain roads. 1t is not at all
unusual in Colorado and Wyoming for
a train to be stalled between stations
for hours and perhaps for days. Those
who have had experiences of this kind
do not wax enthusiastic over them.
Sometimes provisions are lacking, and
the luckless passengers are in actual
danger of starving. In these lonely
stretches there Is not a ranch for
miles. AS a rule the roads take ex-
traordinary precautions against block.
ades of this description. for in several
cases large damages have been col
lected by the victims.
Great Mass of Whiteuess.
The huge snowdrifts that some
times rise in single night are fire.
Quently ten, 20 or even 80 feet in
height. To one who sees such an ac-
emulation of snow for the first time
it seems impossible that any piow.
even the most improved rotary, can
penetrate it. With rush and a
plunge the great plow is hurled into
the mass of frigid whiteness. Black
clouds of smoke pour from the en-
gines, and the huge blades of the ro-
tary begin to eat into the drift. The
snow shoots out of the corifice at the
side of the plow. AS it Is distributed
it forms an immense white semi-cir-
Gle which is constantly moving on
ward, showing the progress of the
plow.
Slowly the rotary eXcavates its way
forward, and finally the plow and its
engines are buried in q trench of
white. Only the smokestacks can be
seen, and they continue to belch forth
inky clouds that settle in a coat Of
smudge upon the snowfield. The
great white semi-circle moves steadily
onward, and in the course of time it
becomes apparent that the drift is be-
ing conquered. 1t is eventually over
come, and the passengers on the reg
ular express train which passes that
way few hours later knows nothing
of the snow battle that has made their
further progress possible. They may
discover that they are moving rapidly
through narrow canyon whose walls
are snow, but they do not realize the
mighty force that has enabled them
to cross the ridge of the continent.
1t is the element of the unexpected
that sometimes adds largely to the Sc
riousness Of these occasions. At the
passes over the great divide adequate
provision against trouble has been
made. and long blockades are few.
Now and then, however, word comes
that a train has not been able to
force it's passage through snow accu-
mutation 100 miles or more from tho
nearest rotary plow. Then there is
CONSERVATION indeed. To get a plow
to the blockaded train will take time,
but it must be done. In the meantime
the drift may be growing on the un-
used road, and each hour is bringing
fresh menaces to railroad men and
passengers alike.
When rotary plow itself is caught
in snow blockade the situation be-
comes even more complicated. Such
instances are rare, but it has hap
pened. Such a thing can only be pos
sible through the carelessness of some
workman, for rotary plow with suf-
ficient power behind it can eat its way
through a drift of almost any dimen-
