to the variety, from eighteen to fifty
inches or more.
The somewhat hairy leaves consist
of three leaflets. The flowers, white

dainty self-fertile. Different varieties
planted together, may occasionally
hybridize, but not abundantly. Each
of the thick, hairy pods contains
two, three or four seeds.
The soy bean forage compares II

and the beans have about the same
percentage of protein and twice a!
much fat as linseed meal.

ness for a variety Of soils, moderate
fertilizer requirements and other
good qualities make it worth a trial

varieties which differ in their periods
of growth, the time in which the crops

for several months.
Soy bean hay is said to be about
equal to alfalfa If it is successfully

chosen having tender stems, maturing
rather early, and the rate OF seeding
should be heavy.

PoIiceman's Badge Of Authority.

In equipment the policeman varies
from a walking arsenal, such as the
Jericho policemen, to the clubless pa
trolman of one or two American cities.
The club, however, is recognized as
the policeman's badge Of authority. In
Darjeeling the policeman carries a
reed pole about six feet long. in
Seville the night police are armed
with long spears, such as the knights
of old used.

As a boy, Arthur Lanstron had per-
sisted in being an exception to the in
fluences of both heredity and environ
ment. Though his father and both
grandfathers we're officers who be-
lieved theirs to be the true gentle

any kind of mechanical toy to arrang-
ing the most gayly painted tin SOL
diers in formation on the nursery
floor; and he would rather read about
the wonders Of natural history and
electricity than the campaigns of Ma
poleon and Frederick the Great and
my Lord Nelson. Left to his own
choice, he would miss the parade Of
the garrison for inspection by an ex-
cellency in order to ask questions Of

Close Grazing.

Probably rather close grazing is de-
sirable in average farm pastures, but
the constant abstraction of fertility
from the soil while the animals are
feeding should be remedied by the
occasional application of some form
of plant food in which the mineral
elements are largely in excess o. the

INVESTIGATORS
STILL RETICENT
NO NEW INFORMATION RELATIVE
TO GALLATlN BANK ROBBERY
YET DIVULGED.

GALLATIN, Tenn, March 90
There are no new facts to give to the
public in connection with the robbery
of the First National Bank of this
city, which occurred last Thursday
night. The investigation by the fed
'eral authorities has continued all day,
witness after witness being examin-
ed, but there was the strictest secre-
cy and there was absolutely nothing
given out that would enlighten the
public even so far as to when Bank
Examiner ]. A. Armstrong would
make his report.
It is apparent that the exact amount
involved has not been determined, the
burned books causing authorities
much trouble, but excitement over the
closing of the bank has died out to
considerable degree. 1t seems to be
the general opinion that there will be
a shortage, but it is said that there
is no uneasiness felt by the deposit
ors. The majority, it is asserted, are
confident that when the bank opens
for business they will be paid in full.
Many Nashville detectives have left
the scene of the robbery, but there

News that the supreme court of Ten.

University at Nashville is under the
control of the trustees and not of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
has "roused the members of that de.
nomination in this city.
The decision was not entirely unex-

this city, and by others in authority
and already plans had been discuss.
ed in the event of the loss of the suit
by the church.
Though still very ill today, Bishop
Wilson took deep interest in the de-

news and will probably consult with

large cities of the South have offered
large inducements for founding such
a university in their borders.
Already there has been S1,O00O0O

ference this will be put forward for
official endorsement as the accepted

The Baltimore annual conference of

but it voices it's decision in memorials
to the general conference which

the late Bishop Galloway, accepted
Vanderbilt University officially as an
institution of the church at the gen.

Bishop Denny was for eighteen years
a member Of the Vanderbilt faculty.
