LEGAL NOTES.

All persons using a public highway
have equal rights, and one using an
automobile must have due regard for
the equal rights of others, taking into
consideration the tendency of his ma
chine to frighten horses and cause in
jury to travellers.
Where the owner Of land and his ten
ant agree that a building erected by
the tenant is to retain it's character as
personal property of the tenant and it
is not attached to the ground, the build
ing does not become bound by an en-
listing mortgage on the premises.
The policy of the law is to encourage
diligence in the settlement Of contro-
v~ersies, or rather to discourage delay
and carelessness. A person may have
a perfectly just and lawful claim
against another for land or for money
on account Of debt or damages and
neglect to assert and enforce his claim
for such a length of time that it be-
comes barred by the statute of limita-
tons. Every state has such a statute.
They are similar to one another, but
not precisely alike, and the periods Of
time necessary to cause claims to be
outlawed vary with the nature of the
claims.

there was something about my hosts
hospitable which gave me the
d that 1t was not genuine.
My host and l smoked some delicious
cigars after dinner that he told me he
had just received from Havana. When
bedtime came l was shown to a room
beautifully fitted up with every con-
venience and was left to myself. But
something 1 could not account for
warned me that l was in danger. I
Travelled, like every one else in that
country, armed. l had not the face to
take my arms to my room, but I had
a cane with a sword in 1t, and this I
caught up as l went upstairs.
BY this time 1 was in terror. l tried
to poohpooh my fright and called my
self a fool for c~onjuring up imaginary
dangers. But l could not get myself
into that bed. Instead l lay down on
a lounge. An hour passed and l got
no sleep. Another followed with the
same result. In that hot climate bed
o doors are not closed. l thought
l heard a noise on the stairway with
out. l had noticed curtains on all the
windows, and, slipping to one Of them
and catching up my sword cane as l
passed, l put myself behind a curtain.
Some n stole into the room. l heard
footsteps near the bed, then a sound
like a sword plunging through a mat
tress.
A nan drew a lantern from under
his cloak and held the light over the
bed. He was Oldershaw. l knew by
this time that he had intended to muir
der me, and my only chance was to
kill him before he recovered from his
surprise at finding the bed empty.
Drawing my sword, 1 left my hiding
place and made a lunge. running the
blade clear through his left side. He
sank down with a groan and was still.
But n idea absorbed me-to get out
Of the place with my life. l descended
the staircase hurriedly, but softly, my
dripping blade in my hand. Opening a
door at the foot of the stairs, 1 stood
at the entrance of a lighted room in
which were half a dozen blacks ap-
parently waiting for something. They
looked at me in establishment.
Clear the way" 1 yelled and, sword
in hand, strobe past them, they COVER
ing from me. and gained an exit not
only from the room, but from the cas
tie.
Once outside l ran till 1 reached St.
Pedro. There l told my experience
and went back with an armed force.
Oldershaw castle was vacant. Under
meath it a pit was found containing
numerous skeletons. They were doubt
less my predecessor travellers who. had
dined at the castle.
Who Oldershaw was and what in
duced him to commit these crimes I
eve learned. 1t vas suspected that
in England he had been crazed by

The first day I landed in South

that will tell its own story. Strolling
through the city Of Durham in the ear
ly morning 1 saw a great hulking
Kafir carrying a bundle Of papers to
the door Of a news agency, where a
little boy about ten years of age was

obeyed.
"'Now sort the papers!' ordered the
child.
Again the Kaffir obeyed. When his
task was completed the little boy con.
t%emptuously pointed to the door. Get

The Kaffir inclined reverently and
backed out of the shop as though TAX

VATHILE examining an old manu-
" script Of my great-grand-
father bearing the date of
1873 l came across the follow
ing record of an incident that occurred
to him while travelling on the island Of
Jamaica. 1t was written in my pro-
genitOr's hand and in the old fashioned
spelling and with numerous capitals.
1t ran thus:
was riding along on horseback to-
ward st. Pedro. Not far from me was
u ridge on which was built a very curl
Gus looking house. There was a tow
err among the other parts, from which
l judged m might view the whole
country roundabout. While l was
wondering who might live in such a
strange looking place l saw a mounted
negro g%alloping toward me. When he
came up to me he refined in his horse
and said to me:
"My marster, Mr.. Oldershaw, invites
yo' to dine with him at his castle on
the ridge. to stay the night and as
much longer as yo' WILL"
l had experienced so much hospital
ity thus far in Jamaica that l was not
as much surprised at this strange in
v~itation as l would have been under
other circumstances. l thought that 1
would accept it and go into st. Pedro
in the morning. l rode IN, bidding the
negro ride beside ME and asking him
questions about Mr.. Oldershaw and his
castle. l was Informed that he was an
Englishman who had come out to ia
maica a few years before, had bought
a tract Of land and built upon it what
he called Oldershaw castle. He was
the only white person in it, the rest
being his negro slaves.
l found Mr.. Oldershaw at the en-
trance Of his abode ready to greet me.
He bore the stamp of an English gen.
tleman, with much more of friendliness
in his manner than the average Eng
lishman would have shown a stranger.
and from the tower of his castle
watched with a telescope for travellers
and on seeing one invariably sent a
slave with an invitation.
Never would a suspicion of the man
have entered my head had l not known
that Jamaica at that time was the
dumping ground for the "black sheep"
of English families. So it at once &C.
Cured to me that Mr.. Oldershaw, be-
ing an English gentleman, might have
been sent to Jamaica by his family to
get him out of the way.
We dined s%umptuously, partaking of
the luscious fruits of the country and
drinking the choicest of wines. My
host pressed the bottle upon me, but I
noticed did not drink much himself.
We were served by the negro who had
borne my invitation. He spoke,
obeying his masters slightest look, 60
ing and coming noiselessly. Indeed,
there was something in this stiffness
pervading the place that gave me a

Straw as a Fertilizer.

A large amount of straw is shipped
from a county in Missouri to a nearby
paper and strawboard factory. This
straw brings the farmer about SO cents
per ton. A county agent recently
found a pile of about 1000 tons at
Sikeston ready for shipment. He COM
putes that as a fertilizer this straw is
worth $3.50 per ton, in addition to it's
value as a means of adding organic
matter to the soil. He is making a
campaign of the county in an attempt
to show the in~advisability of the farm
ers selling their straw and urging it's
more extensive use as bedding in sta

found to practically insure a good

LIONS KICKED BY HUNTERS.
Poor Beasts Are Terribly Abused by

Poor Beasts Are Terribly Abused by
African sportsmen.
A globe trotter and a hunter, by
name Percy Stanhope, is an English
man who may or may not have a sense
of humor. Here is what he said in
New York recently about lion hunting
in Africa:
You hear them talk of lion hunting
in Africa as though it yer the king Of
sports. It's a beastly shame the way
they treat the poor beasts. Why, when
l vas out in British East Africa two
years ago there was a movement on
foot to punish lion hunters for cruelty
to animals. In fact, they were serious
ly taking up the question with the
home government.
THE lives Of the poor lions are being
made a burden to them. I can remem.
Der when the lions would come in out
of the jungle and sit on the platform
Of the railway stations, and some Of
those cruel Englishmen actually booted
the beasts out of the way. Think Of
it, the cruelty Of it all!
There being nc foxes available, the
sportsmen out in those parts have a
habit Of stirring up a lion and pursuing
the poor beast with whoops and yells
until it drops dead of exhaustion and
actual fright. The poor beasts have
been so terrorized that when they see
a white man they whimper from fright.
This fear shortens the life of the lions,
and unless drastic steps are taken to
put a stop to the cruelty there won't
be any of the animals left in Africa

Some months ago the proprietor of

methods of producing pork at greater
profits than he has been obtaining with
alfalfa and mill feeds. Taking the lit
tiers of a number of thrifty sows, he
divided them into equal lots with the
dams. To n lot Mr.. Sherman gave
his regular pig growing ration. To the
other practically the same feeds with
the addition of a small amount of tank
age.
After being on the test feeds for thir-
ty days following the sows, these pigs
were weighed. Those that received
tankage weighed 15.5 pounds each,
while the checks not receiving tankage
weighed 14.2 pounds. The same pigs
were again weighed on Nov. 16, 1913.
about four months later and those that
were given tankaee with their regular
feed weighed lila pounds, while those
that received no tankage weighed only
65.1 pounds each. This was a gain of
95.5 pounds for each hog receiving
tankage as against 500 pounds for
each of the check pigs that did not get
any tankage.
The two lots were weighed regularly.
The weighings showed that the total
gain at the end of the test Of the fifty
eight pigs receiving tankage was $3.50
pounds. The gain Of the fifty-nine pigs
that did not get any tankage was 1908
pounds, a difference of 1886 pounds Of
pork for 1860 pounds of tankage. Both
lots Of pigs were allowed all the good
green alfalfa pasture they could eat.
1t was noticed that the tankage pigs
ate as much or more alfalfa than those
that did not receive tankage.
