A Suit In Partition Filed In
Common Pleas
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Samuel Il. Gerry or Geary, arrested
at Mt. Vernon week or ten days ago
or a charge OF taking livery rig and
not returning when he agreed to, was
again arrested Wednesday morning
and will be held pending an investiga-
ton by the police department, says
the Newark Advocate. Patrolman
Hurbaugh made, the arrest and was
assisted in gathering evidence by Pa
trolman Abbott. Gerry attempted to
dump" the bad check he had offered
in local store, but this was picked
up by Patrolman Abbott. When con-
fronted with the check found by the
officer, Geary wilted and had no more
to say, though he was loudly and in
sistently protesting his innocence a
moment before.
According to police information,
Geary entered the Mitchell C Miracle
store, picked out merchandise amount
ing to s1.50. He offered check for
SIS, drawn to the. order of Samuel T.
Geary and signed by John Graham.
Greary endorsed the check but the
clerk refused to cash it. The man
took the check and left the store,
while the clerk reported the matter to
the police.
Patrolman Hurbaugh started on
hunt for the man and found him near
: the Y. M. G. A. corner. Enroute to
Headquarters where he was to DO
questioned, the man dropped cruol-
pled piece of paper which did not es-
cape the e,-e of Patrolman Abbott who
was following. 1t proved to he the
check which he attempted to pass.
In possession of Police Chief Sheri-
dan is another check for $1S which
Geary offered at Mt. Vernon. 1t was
drawn on q Utica bank check but the
name of the Utica bank was crossed
out and Cleveland institution sub
stituted. The check he offered at
Mitchell & Miracles store was drawn
on the Utica bank.

Little Miss Smith had got that, but

again. and then he stopped. Miss
Smith, with uplifted pencil, watched
him. He had fallen into a daydream,
and the essence Of it was that he
wished he had the strong, clever,
capable Miss Burton to advise him in
the depressed condition Of the wool
importing business.
The new tariff was playing havoc
with his affairs. and two of his old,
trusted employees had recently left him
to establish an opposition business.

seven years. working her way up from

ashamed Of showing to his friends. Do
the best you can for me. That's ALL"
The last words were addressed to
Miss Smith exclusively, but she con-
scientiously embodied them in the
body of the letter. which unfortunately
escaped subsequent perusal, because
there was q pile Of correspondence
that day and Mr.. Rogers picked up
two letters together and only signed
the top one.
The letter duly reached Miss Mary
Burton In London. Miss Burton had
selected a particularly fine assortment
of goods that spring, but when she re-
ceived Mr.. Rogers communication she
did not go to Huddersfield. On the
contrary she sat down and stared at
the letter for about Ave minutes; and
then the strong-minded. capable busi-
ness woman burst into tears.
Her employer was evidently going
insane. She had come to regard her
work as something more than employ
ment; she had an interest in the sue
cess Of the business second only to her
interest in Mr. Rogers. 1t was not
like him to write In that way: in fact.
II be were In his right mind he could
hot possibly have dohe so.
A hasty survey Of the situation, and
she decided to take the next boat back
to America, which she duly did.
Meanwhile little Miss Smith was
demonstrating her incapability at ev-
cry turn. Her spelling might have de-
lighted the heart of Mr.. Carnegie,
though 1t went somewhat beyond his
own ideas Of reform, but her transcrip.
ton could have delighted no man.
Miss Smith cherished the idea that
vowels were an immaterial episode In
a letter. So that. when Mr.. Rogers
best customer received communities
ton informing him that the goods
which he had ordered had ticking ef
feet (Mr. Rogers had dictated TAX
ing'), and wrote back canceling his
order, Mr.. Rogers perceived that Miss
Smiths days were numbered. And
when a letter slipped past his scru
tiny gratuitously instructing a largt
tailor that he could supply him with
some fine drool for white waistcoatt
(which should have been "drill') Mr.
Rogers sat down to cogitate.
The result was that, being some

hearted man, he placed note upor

its course, and If she has been prop
erly cared for there will be little
trouble. When the lamb comes re-
move the membrane from its nose and
see that 1t sucks at once. Never al
low a eve to become separated from
her lamb, because there is likely to
be difficulty in having her claim 1t
again.
When a lamb is a day or two old
it can be placed with its mother with
the rest of the ewes and lambs and
the breeding place used for other
ewes.
Examine the ewes udder carefully
and if she seems to have no milk do
not be discouraged at once. Let the
lamb suck and she will probably
bring her to her milk in few hours.
| On the otht hand, if the udder con-
tains too much milk, more than one
lamb can bring, allow an older lamb
to suck the udder dry. This is very
important and should never be neg
| lected.
If the eve does not have sufficient
milk for the first few days feed the
lamb on cows milk, diluted about
one-fourth. A little sugar added will
make it more palatable and very often
the lamb will thrive from the very
start.
The ewes should not be fed heavily
on grain food Immediately after the
lambs are dropped. 1t is better to
| give them a light bran mash for a
day or two.
! In the case OF twins, the mother
should be fed all she can eat OF the
most nutritious milk-giving food.
If the lambs do not thrive it is bet
! ter to take one of them away and
place them with a more vigorous eve.
This is not always easy to be accom-
plished, but sometimes it can be done.
! II no mother can be found to take
it, it will have to be separated from
the rest of the lambs and fed on
cows milk. This is some trouble OF
course, but it always pays.
Cribs should be provided for the
lambs when two weeks old, so that
they can eat by themselves. They
should be taught to eat little ground
oats early and should be given a little
clover hay at which to nibble all the
time. See that they have plenty OF
fresh water and exercise.
They should be fed all they can
eat from the minute they can nibble
grain until they are sent to the mar
ket.
Good lambs cannot be produced
without heavy feeding. Of course,
care must be taken tc keep theiI
bowels In good condition and every
thing that suggests itself to the intel
ligent feeder must be done.
Examine the lambs carefully and il
they show any signs of ticks they
should be dipped thoroughly. 1t does
not pay to waste good food to fat
ten ticks.

FEEDING TEST AT
KANSAS STATION
Found That Colts That Had No
Oats Are in Better Condition
Than Others With Grain.

Strong, healthy draft horses can be
produced without oats. After more
than nine months, in feeding test at
the Kansas station, colts that hive
had no oats are in better condition
than those which ate this feed. and
have made a little better gain. The
saving in cost of feed is 20 per cent.
The colts have been fed the same sort
of roughage- alfalfa, corn fodder and
pasture.
One lot has been fed oats every
day and the other has had a combina-
ton ration, 70 per cent. corn, 25 per
cent. bran and five per cent. oil meal.
One pound of this mixture contains
the same digestive elements as one
pound of oats. Also, from the stand
point of energy value, the two feeds
are equal, pound for pound. The test
shows farmer can better afford to
feed the mixed ration. with corn at IS
cents bushel, bran at $50 ton, oil
meal at $40 a ton, than oats at so
cents a bushel.
