FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
II Was Arranged by Hugues capet,
King of France, In 9s7.

The fashion Of silver weddings dates
back to the reign Of IIugues Capet.
king of France, in 9S7. Once as
Hugues was arranging his uncle's af-
fairs he found on one of the estates
a servant who had grown gray in the
service of his relative. On the farm
with this old man was also a serving
woman. who was as old as he and
also unmarried, who had been the most
devoted and hardworking of the won.
en- servants of the kings uncle. When
the king heard these praises of the two
he ordered them to be brought before
him and said to the woman:
your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than
man, and therefore l will give you a
reward. At your age l know Of none
better than a dowry and a husband
The dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you then the husband is ready"
"Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, "hOw is it possi-
BILE that we should marry, having al
ready silver hairsY'
"Then it shall be a silver wedding
the king, "and here l give
YOU a wedding ring" drawing a cost
ly ring from his finger and placing the
hands Of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that it became a fashion after twenty |
five years Of married life to celebrate |
a silver wedding.

IMPEDING THE PROGRESS OF CHINCH BUGS
abundant in the middle west, the sec
tiOn which suffers the most from the
chinch bug.
The long winged chinch bug has two
generations a year, while it is doubt
full whether the short wing has one or
two The adult insects pass the winter
under clumpe Of broomsedge, matted
grass, leaves or in fact any convenient
form Of waste vegetation, from which
they emerge in the spring to deposit
their eggs in nearby grain fields. When
the young hatch from the eggs they
cluster upon the plants and begin at
once to feed upon the juices. Shortly
after midsummer this first generation
nave become adults and deposit their
eggs in turn. When these eggs are
hatched the young fasten on corn, mil
iet hatiir and similar crops.
10 control the pest, therefore, the
department Of agriculture recommends
IN the first place the cleaning up Of all
fence rows and roadsides and the burn
ing during winter of grass and rubbish
about the farm. This not only de-
suoys large numbers. Of the bugs, but
uepriVes them Of shelter through the
winter, so that where the work is thor
oughly done comparatively few will
survive to the breeding season. In the

In the articles heretofore published
relative to the Producer-Consumer

show the economic value OF the sys-
tenn to the community In which II Is To-
Gated. Now | want you to consider
the proposition from a standpoint OF
business investment.
II Is to the interest OF every business
man in any town to increase the earn
ing capacity OF the farmers In their
community. My system OF preparation
OF cotton products for market increases
the net returns to the producers Of cot
ton. at the aowest estimate, $500 per
bale. Are you interested in accom-
plishing these results?
Now, as an investment. with the
above advantage over the common
gins now in operation. II is safe to fig
ure on ginning one-half Of the cotton
that comes TO Bryan. With an aver
age crop Bryan gins ten thousand bales
OF cotton each season, or we may
safely figure on working five thousand
bales OF cotton, with the probable pos
sibility OF working ten thousand bales.
Our earnings would be:
For ginning 5000 bales cotton
at $3.50 .................. s12,5OO
Profit and 10000 bales bagging
and ties ..................., 1850
Working $500 tons cotton seed

OF former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker from the judgment convicting
him OF the murder OF Herman Rosen-
thai. the New York gambler. and for
which the four gunner convicted with

puts II, is the longest that has ever
been filed in New York County. It
contains $50 pages OF printed matter
and Celebrates every detail of the sew.
eral features OF Rockers last trial.
The twenty features OF the second
trial which Martin T. Manton, the
counsel for Becker, emphasizes as UNI
fair and constitute reasons why the
new trial should be granted are:
/. The defendants guilt was not
established beyond reasonable
doubt.
2. Since this is true the verdict
OF guilty being honestly against the
weight OF evidence. is contrary to law
and cannot stand.
3. The conviction was upon testi-
mony OF accomplices, without corrobo-
ration by any other evidence tending
to connect the defendant with the
crime.
4. The second trial was staged In
an atmosphere designated to be hos
tile to the defendant, and was highly
prejudicial to his rights.
5. Admission OF the alleged state
ment Of Dago Frank in the hearing OF
William Shapiro Just before the MUIR
der in defendants absence was highly
prejudlcial.
G, 7 and 8. Admission OF alleged
conversations between Rose and
Rosenthal. between Rose and Zelig.
between Rose and the gunner, all in
the absence OF the defendant, consti
tutes reversible error.
Q. Ruling OF the court on the cross
examination of Rose. in declining to
strike out answers not responsive TO
the questions. and in excluding testi-
mony on the trial, was highly preju'
diclal
10. The admission OF Weber's
declaration to the district attorney in
Beckers absence was reversible error.
II. The admission OF testimony OF
Lefty Loule's widow of alleged con-
versation between Rose and Lefty
Louie in the defendants absence,
constitutes reversible error
70. The admission of testimony OF
Lefty Loule's widow regarding the
distribution Of money among the gun
men in her Seventh avenue apartment
was highly preiudicial.
10. The admission of anonymous
complaints received at police head
quarters. charging Becker with pro-
tecting Roses gambling place, consti-
tutes reversible error.
II. The admission of conversation
between the police commissioner and
Captain Day, in the defendants alb
sence, was reversible error.
