ened heeiefo.

These tales of bagmen that District
Attorney Whitman of New York Is
bringing out recalled to veteran poll
tician the experience Of the boss OF a
western city, who was something In
the way of political collector HIM
self.
One day near the close Of hot cam
paign he managed to round up some
five thousand dollars. With couple OF
his pals he had bibulous celebration
About 2 in the morning he was cling
ing to a lamppost and trying to call
cab when two of his heelers hove In
sight. He knew they would rob him
If they suspected he had money. Brac-
ing himself he greeted them with:
Hello, fellows: lucky you happened
along. I'm dead broke and want cab.
Get one and take me to my hotel and
I'll make good" st.Io yae,4
When they reached the hotel the
drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk
to give each Of his companions i've
dollar bill. At the same time he drew
from his trousers pocket . huge roll
of bills and throwing 1t at the clerk
told him to keep that wad Of stuff In
safe place until morning"
Disgustedly the heelers watched the
.-afe door close on the young fortune
that had. escaped them, while the boss
sank into chair. - -
"Oh. you thief" angrny shouted one
OF the heelers, as he shook his fist
under the nose Of the boss. That's
the meanest double CROSS you ever
gave q friend in your whole crooked
career. You said you was broke and
you had thousands in: the wad. Con
found you. there's no one q fellow
can trust these days. That money be

ENGLISH LEGHoRNs
 MAKE NEW RECORD.
Feature of Thirty fifth Week of Egg
 Laying Contest At Storrs.


 The chief feature in the thirty fifth week of the Laying Contest at Storrs was a new high weekly egg record made by the pen of English Leghorns owned by Tom Barron. Up until this time 61 eggs has been the best yield that any pen of ten hens in the con- test has been able to produce in any one week until this English pen raised the mark two eggs by laying sS last week. Second honors for the week were won by Glenview Poultry Farm, Rockville, Conn, whose White Leg horns produced B eggs and third place goes to Branford Farm. Groton, Conn, with 5s eggs to their credit.
 There were a total of sixteen pens that laid 4s eggs each or more during the week or & yield of 70 per cent, an experimental pen of White Leghorns owned by the Storrs Station laid 56 egs or a yield 80 per cent for the week and the English pen already referred to made the top notch record of a 90 per cent yield with their 63 eggs for the week. This is considered truly satisfactory efficiency for mid summer production. The total yield for all the pens amounted to 3134 which is a bare two eggs under the yield for the
 preceeding week. During this period the contest that proved to be every day y-fn- the-week layers and they in-

 Not Heard From.

Ottawa, Ont, July Slight mem bers of the Stefansson Arctic expedi- ton, who were believed to be on Wrangel Island, off the coast of Alaska, with the rest of the Karluk party. which was reported safe more than month ago. are now thought to be lost, according to a report which Deputy
 Minister of Marine Desbarrats received today from Captain Bartlett in Nome. Bartlett commanded the Karluk.
 The previous report, from which it was inferred that the whole party had
 reached Wrangei Island, neglected to
 mention two parties of four which set out ten days after the Karluk sank
 one for Herald Island and the other for an unknown shore, dirnly discerni- ble through the Arctic night. Neither of these parties has been heard from. The supporting party which accom- 1 panied the first party returned and
 reported that progress had been stop | ped by open water three miles from l shore.

 Officer Charles Bartlett. Seamon John 1 Brady and Seaman Archibald King, all | of Victoria, B. c.

STRAWBERRY BEDS.
By D. I. HENDRIcKsoN,


 If the plants in that old strawberry bed of yours are strong and healthy, 1t will pay you to renew 1t. When the earth is soft from a recent rain. mow the bed and chop out all grassy growth with a sharp hoe. Burn all this litter as soon as it becomes dry, as well as the mulch; both may be raked out from between the rows and burned in the aisles. Then with a one-horse blow, throw furrow from each side of the row into the center of the space between the rows. Cultivate this mld- de about every ten days with fine toothed cultivation Hoe the plants in the row often; in fact, keep them just as clean as newly set plants. Stimu- late the plants by top-dressing them with nitrate of soda-twos applications of seventy five pounds each per acre. In December, spread the bed with rot ted stable manure, which furnishes both fertility and a mulch. If the bed is rank with weeds or grass, blow 1t and plant to late sweet corn or set to late tomato plants.
