to secure her liberty that the attorneys
took up her case. Judge Arthur came
here and held a special session Of the

that She was entitled to her liberty on

ing by ordering her release upon that

Peculiar Way of Harvesting Hay

And here's one, respectfully dedi-
Gated to Newton Newkirk, who edits
popular page in a Boston newspa-
per: A well known Fairfield farmer
has just got his hay under cover, the
circumstances being a bit peculiar.
Early in the season he planned to cut
a larger quantity of hay than usual
and realizing that the old barn would
not be big enough to hold the entire
cut, he made his plans to build an
other barn. But, as everybody knows,
agricultural life is just one thing after
another, and it was we'll into July be-
fore he got around to building the
barn. By that time the hay was ripe
and he had to go ahead cutting his hay.
He stuffed the old barn chock full,
until 1t could hold no more. Still
there was standing grass enough to
fill second barn. Nothing daunted
he cut it all down, just as if he had
a barn all ready for it, Then he
punched the hay, and got crew to-
gether and built the new barn. All
the hay was safely in the new barn
before the heavy shower OF Thursday
afternoon. Moral, never do today
what you can put off until tomorrow.

NOT HARD TO TELL FORTUNES
Little Need for soothsayer to Be FIJI
ted With Much More Than ordl-

The way to tell peoples fortunes is
to have one list of characteristics,
and use 1t for every one without the
slightest variation. 1t is bound to
succeed For instance, suppose Fal-
staff and Hamlet had their fortunes
told by the same sothsayer. ! imag-
inc he would have told Hamlet's char
acter as follows:
You are not as fortunate as you
seem. You have great deal of sense,
but more sense than knowledge. You
can give admirable advice to other
people. Your Judgment Is excellent
as regards others, but bad as regards
yourself You never value your own
good advice. You are fond of your
friends You prefer to talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You are
fond of the stage. You are suscepti-
BILE to female beauty. You are witty.
amiable and we'll educated, but you
like coarse jokes. You are supersti-
tious and believe In ghosts. You can
make people laugh. You often pre-
tend to be more foolish than you are.
At other times you will surprise peo-
pie by your power of apt repartee.
Your bane will be your inclination to
fat. which will hamper you in fight
ing. You are Unsuccessful as a sol
der, but u9rivaled as a companion
and philosopher. You will mix in high
society. have friends at court You
will come of badly in personal en-
counter and your final enemy will be
a king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the
same thing to Falstaff Doesn't 1t fit
him just as well? Can't you imagine
Falstaff saying: He has hit me of to
