Effective PuniShmentS,

One Of the first judges-real judges
of Deadwood put in operation many
odd ideas Of corrective punishment.
II a man. was brought before him
charged with shooting up peaceful
place without provocation ehis judge
used to delight in tolling off half a
dozen good shots, whose business it
was to fire all around the accused,
who was made to stand up against
a wall. The closer the shots and the
more scared the accused the better
the judge liked it. If the accused
demurred against this little tit-for-tat
punishment he was formally ordered
to stand up and the maximum sen.
tence under the code was meted out
to him. In the case Of prisoner who
might not be impressed with the tar.
get practice sentence there were oth.
er penalties, such as a five mile gallop
on frisky horse, with the legs Of the
accused tied under the horses belly
and a saddle made Of fair sized stones
wrapped in blanket for his seat. Pro
test against this meant again the ex.
treme code punishment.

No New York Namesake.

The genuine old New Yorker wes
looking very sad indeed. q was look
ing over post Office guide or direc-

er cities OF the land have small towns
scattered about the country named for
them, New York is without a single
namesake. If I had the New York
conceit might say there could be
but one New York, but haven't, and
I wonder if the absence Of namesa&es
is due to the fact that New Yorkers
are SO enamered of their city that.
none has ever gone forth to :colonize,
or that those who have gone are Of SO
small consequence that they have been
unable to do as. much as to give the
name Of their native town to any that
they have assisted In founding.
Whatever it is, the result remains,
and there is but one New York men,

It IS THE SAME
FAMILIAR STORY
About Rambling of Heavily
Loaded Wagons,
ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR
Tobacco Has Gotten To Be a
Jonah" To The Ken.
lucky Farmer.
HOW OUR NEraHnoRs DO IT

Owensboro sends out news story
that sounds natural down in this
section of the State. II is but rep
etition of tale We hear, with slight
variations only, every year.
The rumbling of heavily loaded
wagons will be heard on practically
every road in Daviess county to-
night, and before daylight Monday
morning thousands of pounds of the
brown weed will have arrived in
Owensboro.
The deliveries of the Green Riv-
er-Equity pool will begin In Ovens
bOro on Monday morning. IL is ex-
pected that there will be a great
rush of the weed to the Greensboro
market. The growers have been pa
tiently waiting for many weeks for
an opportunity to deliver their
crops
That's one virtue the tobacco
planter has to cultivatc--patience
Every year he must patiently wait
for an opportunity to deliver" his
crop. After the last rumble of
the heavily loaded wagons of the
farmers of the Owensboro district Is
heard--there are several counties in
the pool, IL is not confined to one
and total made of the amount of
money paid TO ALL of the tobacco
planters. it will be disclosed that
something less than million dol
lars will have been distributed
among the participants in the pool.
That's approximately the value of
the tobacco that will have been mar
keted in paducah when the season
ends, the greater portion of the crop
of four or five counties. In lump
ed sum, million dollars looks like
a great big sum of money, and II is.
But when we are shown that the
farmers of a small county in Illinois,
just few miles north of us. with
the same character of soil ours Is,
produced last year over a million
dollars in fruits and garden pro-
duce. and were selling and receiving
more for it EVERY WEEK in the
year. does it not excite our envy?

the farmers on Friday. showed them

the Union county shipments made
by the association there, and the ex-
act figures were over one million
dollars. He said ii was lean

EARNING O< THE ICE
IN AN ALASKAN VALLEY

Farming over ice is a feature OF
ranch life In the Tanana Valley,
Alaska. The valley is 800 miles
long and so miles wide. II Is des-
scribed as vast bowl of sold ice,
thinly sprinkled with dirt. The
bowl of the ice never thaws save
near the surface. But on the foun-
dalton OF perpetual ice farmers are
'aising bumper crops of grain and
gardens are producing vegetables
declared to be superior in yield and
quality to any grown In the United
States. The strangest feature OF the
ranana Valley farming Is that 1t is
possible only because the subsoil is
eternally frozen. When the spring
begins to thaw the surface the pillow
turns over the surface OF the earth
above the ice. and as the thaw pro-
leeds. moisture Is given on from un-
'erground forming a perfect sub-ir-
rigation system. II Chicago Journal.

waves we're noted when they reach
ed CapeHorn, nearly 5000 miles dis
tant, and the scientists who made a
study of the matter thought these
waves were perceptible in the Eng
fish Channel. more than 1900
miles away.
Though Krakatoa was uninhabit-
ed the waves produced by the up
heaval caused great damage on
neighboring shores to shipping and
buildings and great loss of life. It
was estimated that $4,000 persons
persisted in the catclysm.
But the most astonishing feature
OF the Krakatoa blowup was the
noise IL made. II the investigators
were not mistaken IL was the loud
est noise ever heard on this planet.
The scientists figured that the sound
waves, spreading both ways from
krakatoa, met at the antipodes of
the island, rebounding. after the i'm
pact and came back to Krakatoa
after the manner of an echo from
both sides. In way that instru-
ments could have detected them II
instruments had been there.
After investigation it was believ-
ed that actual sounds were heard
not detected as sound waves by in
struments. but heard by the human
ear-as far away as the Philippines,
about 1,400 miles; at Bangkok
about the same distance; in Ceylon,
more than 1000 miles distant, and
in South Australia. some 1900
miles away New York Sun.
