ed tramp on the head causing him to
fall from moving train and be cut to
pieces October IL last, near Cassville.
French denied the charge but the evi-
dence convinced the jury that he caused
the tramp to fall under the train.
During last year up to the time of
this killing, there had been killed along
the Burlington tracks in Grant county
no less than 81 men, most of them
tramps. 1t is charged that most of
them had been kicked off moving trains
as was the victim in this case. Since
French was arrested last October, not
one fatality occurred along the Bur-
lington tracks in this county. These
killings and legal proceedings they in
volved cost Grant county no less than
three thousand dollars year. The
case was desperately defended 1t was
charged that the Burlington road was
back of the defense.

What Superior and Madison are
Dojnu About il.

Superior had the garden, or Home
Croft" idea started by Mr.. w. NJ.
Webb, banker who gave the first
prize money.
After that the Commercial club and
the school board took up the idea, and
with the 80 per cent given by the state
offered prizes for the best garden vege-
tables and flowers and the school board
paid the expense of one of the teachers
for the summer months to visit the
gardens where children had registered
for the contest and assist them by sug-
gestions as to soil preparation and seed,
and in other ways encourage them to
their best.
The result of getting the children in
terested in such work cannot be over
estimated. 1t means health and added
vitality to many; it means better food
for many; it means more OF the beauti-
full as they become interested in flow
ers; if they are kept interested for
series Of years, it means added wealth
to the homes of the community.
The vacant lots of the city will look
much better in garden than in grass or
weeds. The otherwise idle time of the
children will be utilized in a pleasant
and useful way.
A friendly spirit of rivalry as to the
best looking and best producing garden
will add Zest to the work and the
public interest will secure the help Of
many who would not be interested
without this added stimulus.
Madison has produced some fine re-
suits by taking up this idea and the
city is reaping the results from year to
year.
Let all who have vacant lots or tracts
of land they do not care to cultivate
offer it to the committee of the city
garden association and allow some of
the boys or girls to take of it,
