SPENCER SILENT
ON STAND;CASE
NEAR JURY
Late Again, Old TurtIe-Toes,' His
Greeting to Judge-Women
Leave as He Raves.

WHEATON,, ILL, Nov. 14.-The
case Of Henry Spencer, confessed
multi murderer, will probably go to
the jury this afternoon and a YER
dict is expected before night.
Taking testimony by both sides
ended abruptly after Spencer himself
had been placed on the stand In his
own defense. He answered the first
question asked by his own attorney
BY saying: MY name Is Jean VAL
Jean" To every other question asked
him he answered: 81 don't know"
The tango murderer" began his
abuse of the court lawyers and spec
tators at the reopening of his trial
to-day for the murder of Mildred AL
llson- Rexroat. Spencer's attitude be-
came so menacing that many women
left the courtroom.
Shortly after court reopened the
State rested It's case, much to the sur
prise of the defense. e. e.....
Late again. old turtle toes" shout
ed Spencer as Judge Slusser ascended
the bench. 'Forty-f1ve minutes be-
hind time. What's the odds? Time
was made for slaves"
Again, when Attorney Zeman, who
was responsible for the delay, entered
the courtroom, Spencer howled:
Want to quit your job, eh. you
Slob?"
Recognizes Death Hammer.
W. V, Hoff, Coroner OF Dupage
County, was the first witness Of the
day.
AS the witness went to the stand
Prosecutor Hadley began opening
package.
There's the ammer," excitedly
whispered a woman sitting near
Spencer.
Yes, that's the little thing used
to keep women's mouths shut" said
Spencer, waving his hands at the
crowd Prosecutor Hadley then
opened the package, which contained
the famous hammer found close TO
where Mrs. Rexroat was killed and
with which Spencer claimed he had
killed more than dozen women.
Coroner Hoff testified that Spencer
had identified and described the ham
mer as his.
Wants Hammer Admitted.
II didn't show Spencer the hammer,
but asked him II he lost one. He said,
Yes He told me he had broken the
hammer while breaking open a slot
machine and had wrapped the handle
with Irvine"
Attorney Zeman objected TO the ad-
mission of the hammer as evidence.
Judge Slusser overruled the objection.
Spencer leaped to his feet again.
Let it go in, Judge. Get half
dozen hammers. The jury wants to
look at my hammer. They know all
about 1t, anyway; let 1t go in," yelled
Spencer.

The Why of Detroit

The supremacy of Automobile
Manufa curing in America is
Detroit's by big majority.
Millions of dollars pour into
her Golfers every year from this
one industry.
Skilled workmen flock by
thousands to the opportunities she
offers.
The payrolls from her fac
tories are making Detroit one of
the richest of Americas rich cities.
How did she do it? The
answer is found in the attitude of
Detroit's citizens toward Detroits
FIRST Auto factories.
Those Michigan folks were
willing to be convinced that Detroit
could make as good JOY wagons as
were made anywhere.
They talked them---they tried
them-.-they bought them.

RYE FIELD USED
THREE GOOD WAYS
Acre or Two of Rich Land Will
Produce Large Amount of
Early Green Feed.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)

Rye which Is sown in the fall for
green feed during cold weather may
be economically used in at least three
ways the next spring and the early
summer One of these ways is to use
it for pasture. Another way is to use
it for a summer soiling crop for milk
cows. An acre or two on rich land
will produce large amount of early
green feed and the crop can be used
for nearly three months. To use rye
as a soiling crop, keep the stock off
it in the spring and when it is tall
enough to cut take the mower to the
patch and cut enough for two days
feeding. Rake this and store it In
the barn and feed out. Then NOW
enough more for another two days
feeding and continue the same method
till the patch is all mown. By this
time the rye of the first moving will
have grown up enough for a second
cutting and in succession 1t may be
cut several times during the early
spring and summer. In this way a
great number Of COWS may be kept
on a limited area of pasture.

Builders Preserve an Old Tree at Great Cost

and its stump grubbed out as an OBJ
struction to progress, but it was al
lowed to live. The north bark OF its
trunk is within few inches Of the
bricks of the south wall Of the third
house in the row. The trunk Is about
three feet in diameter and as tall as
the top Of the house. The crown grows
as high again and its big, strong
branches spread themselves ovec the
roofs of three of the houses and oSer
an alley that runs between Florida
avenue and Belmont street.
The diameter of the tree is nearly
as great as the porch is wide. and to
accommodate the tree the porch was
stopped at one side Of the tree and
it's building resumed on the other side.
1t is an unusual spectacle and many
persons passing that way have their
attention arrested by it.
This tree is one of the grove OF
oaks that stood in the. big tract be-
tween the boundary and Clifton street,
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
About a dozen of these oaks are still
growing in that tract on the Clifton
street side.

CARROTS DO WELL
ON FRIABLE SOIL
Gardener Should Endeavor to
Grow Plant Quickly to Sc
cure Best Results.
(By ALTON E. GOSSO)

Carrots do well on most any garden
land but they prefer moist, deep,
loamy, friable soil. The gardener
should try to grow the carrot quickly
in order to secure tender sweet, uni
form specimens. Avoid hard, dry,
crusty soil. Seeds may be sown in
rows by using hand drill. Have the
rows Wide enough to admit horse cul-
tivation. When the plants have
grown three to four inches high, thin
ming should be done, leaving only the
larger plants in the row from four to
six inches apart. The seed should be
thickly sown for many may not ger
inmate. Carrots should be sown
early, as the crop, especially the late
varieties require a long season. The
carrot, like most all root crops, re-
spends readily to frequent cultivation.
Only the table varieties should be
grown in a home garden. BY judicious
choice of varieties, carrots may be en-
joyed for a long season. The late va
rieties can be left in the ground until
late when they should be dug and
stored in the cellar or buried In the
field similar to cabbage.

'Growler" Is THING Of Past in the Capital City

and over the mahogany bar. The red
shirted laborer who has hailed the
growler at the stroke Of IL upon a
hot summer day will perhaps have
to take to cold tea or ice cream soda.
The poker party, with its cigar tlIteo
at rakish angle, with the smoke
making it hard to tell pair of queens
from a full house, will have to take
to the bottled stuff, for no longer
can the host carry the water pitcher
down to the corner, where the green
doors swing both ways. The growi-
er has passed on beyond.
And sad to say it, the Retail Liquor
Dealers association did not favor the
GROWER, and, in fact, helped to banlsn
it. The man in the red shirt and car
pet slippers, who has been seen swing
ing joyfully toward his little cottage
home with a pail of brimming amber
in his right hand, believes in gen.
eral way that the police or the COM
missioners had something to do with
it, or that the excise board gave the
order which killed the growler at mid
night New Years eve.
But such is not the truth. In the
best legal circles where growlerology
Is being studied, it is said that the
excise board merely warned the ga
loon men that they don't like the
GROWER business. and while they
really cannot stop it by law, the
GROWER. IL pushed across the counter
any more, will count against that sa-
loon man when he comes to ask for q
license again.

The first thing a farmer must try to
get is a mare or two of just the right
sort to begin with. The age to buy
is not of SO much Importance; by
buying FLIES at one to two years old
they have the full length of their
breeding life before them, but at the
same time there is the risk Of their
proving non-breeders, or inferior
breeders, while by buying mare that
has bred a foal or two successfully
we discount the risk, but have to pay
a higher price, and lose as much of
her life as has passed. The mare that
has begun to breed Is the safest spec
ulation.
In selecting the brood mare the
character, symmetry, style, constitu-
ton, soundness and type are of even
greater Importance than pedigree. 1t
is we'll to have a type of perfection
In ones eye. and to get as near that
as possible.
The head and eyes should betoken
docility, intelligence and courage. It
is only by close observation that any
one can acquire the art of recogniz-
ing character in a mare. No amount
of descriptive writing can teach one
how to judge these characteristics in
horse or man. The loin, of course,
should be strong, and the tail we'll set
up, in line with the back, not droop-
ing. In brood mare a strong, healthy
constitution is of the utmost impor-
lance.
AS for size, mare standing sixteen
hands high, and built In proportion.
is big enough. Color may be selected
according to taste. but brown or
bay animal is always more, salable
than black or any of the lighter
colors.
When buying every precaution
should be taken to insure soundness--
that is, absence of all hereditary dis
ease. and few dollars extra should
not prevent a bargain being made If
the mare approaches anywhere near
the ideal above described.
Great care should be taken in feed
ing all animals. particularly stations.

which are more sensitive than mares
or geldings. Horses should be fed
very regularly. Feeding time should
not vary ten minutes from stated
hour. The stomach is a sensitive or
gan and soon becomes educated to
expect food at certain hours. If that
expectation is regularly gratified the
animal thrives better. My method
of feeding horses is: Morning feed al
5:45 o'clock; noon feed at 11:45, and
night feed at $3.50 in winter, 5:45 in
summer. This schedule Is strictly
adhered to at all times.
The amount of food to give stall
lion, except during the stud season,
is about three quarts OF oats In the
morning, two quarts OF crushed oats
and two quarts of bran at noon; three
quarts of boiled oats, one quart Of
bran and one tablespoon of oil meal
at night. The stallion should have
from fifteen to eighteen pounds OF hay
each day the year round. He should
be given a light feed of hay (say FIVE
pounds) in the morning, the balance
In the evening.
After the stud season commences,
about March /, add two quarts of
boiled barley to the evening feed. The
barley strengthens the stallion In
flesh and semen and makes him a
surer getter. During q heavy stud
season mix half-dozen raw eggs with
the evening feed.
The stallion should be watered be-
fore feeding. Let him drink all he
wants. Water him after feeding also.
We now come to the actual act Of
breeding. / advise that the stallion
visit the mare after four o'clock in
the afternoon, or even after six. 1t
is quieter then, and neither mare nor
stallion is so liable to become uneasy
and excited.
The stallion should be led to the
breeding pen as quietly as possible to
avoid nervousness. Everything should
be ready. Do not keep him waiting.
| would advise hobbling the mare on
all occasions In order to protect the
horse from fright and accident

Butterflies as Jewels.

Brilliant butterflies, brought back
by travellers who have been exploring
distant countries, serve only to en-
rich the collections of naturalists. II
is only recently that the multi-coieret
wings of these brilliant and charming
insects have tempted artistic jewel
ers. They have imprisoned in the
crystal some Of these variegatec
wings, and have made of them jewels
which not only are ravishing. but
which reveal a very tempting orig
inality. A brooch has been made
with the two wings OF one of these
butte les. They were arranged IL
the shape Of a butterfly between two
thin sheets Of crystal and the edg
of the wings was set with diamond
and an opal formed the body OF thu
fly.
Round hat pins have been made o

between crystal, and look just like
precious stones.--From "Femina."

UNCLE SANS SCALE OF TIPS.

UNCLE SANS SCALE OF TIPS.
That the tip is an established insti-
sutton in the United States is conced.
ed by that serious agency OF govern
ment. the federal treasury depart
ynent, It has promulgated an order
specifying the tips that its employees
may Include in their travelling cx-
penses while transacting public bust
ness. Some may be inclined to &C.
cept the governments scale of tips. as
they accept the governments weights
and measures, as establishing the
standard. The treasury department OF
national administration that has
tried to make a speciality Of efficiency
and economy permits an employee in
New York or Chicago to tip the per-
son who brings his meals to him not
more than 80 cents day. He may
spend like sum for this service in
any one OF a score of other cities of
considerable size, the names of
which are specified. For the service
OF sleeping car porters he may spend
20 cents a day and Of chair car por-
ters Is cents day. If he crosses the
Atlantic ocean he may use $40 for
stewards fees; going to OF from Ha-
wall he may give the steward SIS;
going to or from Panama or Porto
Rico. $40. He is ncs allowed 70 give
baggagemen or porters more than Is
cents on his arrival at or departure
from hotels, wharves, railroad sta
lions and such places. Tipping is q
serious matter to many an American
of small resources. says the Chicago
Daily News. Not few persons wish
they had the federal treasury behind
them to stand the expense OF tips
when they travel. IT may comfort
them somewhat to know that the
treasury itself parcels out the tips
with considerable degree of pru-
dence.
