The letter which bore the postmark

his friends at the Royal Automobile
Club on Thursday night until he ar
rived at certain house in Kensington
the following morning in a badly bat
tered condition.
Thinks Clue Trustworthy.
While Anderson would not divulge
the whole contents of the letter, he
read extracts from it to the newspaper
men. The writer. who is believed to
be a member of gang forcibly de-
tanning Martin for reward, is evidently
anxious to obtain from Anderson the
promise that ii Martin is restored TO
freedom the reward will be paid and
no police action will follow. For this
reason Anderson, who has a whole
squad of private detectives working
on the case, has not taken Scotland

am dependent on my labor for nay

law authorizes the collection OF fees
II believe the present system Of fines
for minor offenses tends to increase
crime and promotes disrespect for law
and is altogether wrong in principle
and bad in practice.

ings of Christ i desire to administer
the Office as He would administer it.
would you advise me on this qucs-
ton?

GOOSE LAYING SEASON HERE
Advisable to Start Upon Small Scale
and Run Two Geese With Each
Gander-Get Early Eggs.

One Of the best seasons for pur-
chasing geese is during the latter part
Of the year, for then the birds have
a chance to settle down properly be.
fore the laying season, which in the
case Of geese begins at the end of
January. 1t is advisable to start
upon small scale and to run two
geese to each gander. They should
be housed in roomy, dry foored quar-.
ters that are we'll ventilated without
being draughty. Use dry straw as lit
ter and renew frequently.
When the birds are of the right
type the young usually take after
them in this respect, but to assure
size 1t is necessary that early eggs
be produced, for unless the young are
hatched early they have no time to
develop before the cold days are en-.
countered. The way to produce early
eggs is to see that the birds are well
fed during the autumn, time when
much of the natural food picked up
Is apt to be short of nutriment.
