When he performed the operation
the wound did not bleed. Instead Of
fluttering to the ground the hen
walked off few feet and stood still
Tucker was puzzled.
When he returned at II o'clock he
went back to the corral with a Ian

measuring has to do is to keep tab

and qualifications. One must be very
careful not to make mistakes" Doc

showed his tables. The group OF
workmen under him measured up:

 Influence

Paris. April 1.-The commission inVes- tigating the reasons for the postponement of the trial of Henri Rochette, charged with extensive swidling, finished it's hearing today. Its report will be sub- mitted 10 the Chamber of Deputies to- morrow.
 The report says: "The course of M. Cailaux and the intervention of M. Monis constitute a most deplorable abuse of in- fluenee. Their act, however was not one of corruption, since they were per sonally disinterested.
 The commission expresses regret that NJ. Fabre. the public prosecutor did not have courage to resist at the time he de- clared himself humiliated over the or der to postpone the Rochette case.
 The action of M. Bidault de L'Isle, pres ident of the court of appeals. also is crit icized. The commission declares it has been unable to discover how the Fahre report reached the hands of NJ. BarthoI and M. Briand, who also are the object of caustic criticism
 Several deputies gave notice that they will speak on the report tomorrow. There We're several dissenting votes.

 Strong young men, fallen under drink. bless the home and those who support ii, as they look out upon life with new hopes. new desires and fixed determ- nations. 1t is very great pleasure to us to reclaim some mothers wayward daughter, and after a sufficient stay with us send her back to her own or some other good home to begin life anew
 Only by the grace aud power of God is all this possible. There seems to be an atmosphere here in these beau tiiul grounds that inspires and imparts new desires. new hopes and new strength to the body, mind and souls of those who find home with us
 The new management craves the good will. prayers, cooperation and kindly forbearance of all in this impor- | tant and efficient work.
