completed in the supreme court late
yesterday afternoon. after both princi-
pals had given additional testimony
Before tomorrow afternoon the case
undoubtedly will be in the hands OF

Col.~ Roosevelt told what he repre-
sented to be the true details of an in
terview he had about year ago with
John w. Hutchinson. jr., a New York
lawyer. who swore the witness
stand last week that the former Presi-
dent had told him that the republican
party is not big enough to hold Mr.
Barnes and myself" In regard to that
quotation. the colonel almost shouted
that it was false.
He said he did tell Mr. Hutchinson
that he was willing. during the last
gubernatorial election in this state, to
support a republican candidate who

could not be expected to come back

of Mr.. Barnes"

Barnes testimony about the talk in the
White House over the Agnew Hart rae
ing bill and about many other things
He reiterated with added emphasis his
statement that Mr.. Barnes had told him

ing.
Mr.. Barnes, under cross examination,
freely admitted that he had been pre-
sented with $50 shares of stock in the

LITTLE ENJOYMENT;
 NO FUSS WITH AIN

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I write to you for important advice. My husbands mother, a year ago when we moved, came along. We ar ranged, and gave her one room. proposed to do her laundry, cook etc, she not to interfere in my part of the house I kept my part of the com pact She ignored hers. I am com peIled by her dominant way, fault finding, to stay in the kitchen. If sick I would care for her. I the only woman in the family. She annoys me, tells ne she don't have to take any thing from me, if I complain. ReIa- tions become strained; for days we are not on friendly terms. Life is unen- durable. I tell husband she should occupy her apartment, or would have to leave am an American young woman We have several young folks. one of whom is our girl of seven years, with us. This is all that keeps ne from leaving. I cannot abide by my kin's acts. I want to do right, she to meet me halfway, not angrily. Have a right to little enjoyment, or is life to be unbearable?
 The home life has it's own cares, and should have as much cheer as possible. Firmly keep silent when unpIeasantness arises, which Should be avoided. Ask her what is best to do. Relatives may invite her to their homes It is always the unexpected which happens. Brightness may come to each of your lives. Have a heart ,to-heart talk together. Hope and pray

BEAVERS ACTIVITIES TOsBE CURED AMONG
 ADIRONDACK MTS.

Albany, July 12-An investigation throughout the Adirondacks. with a view to determining what action should be taken to remedy the dam ages due to the activities of the beav- CTS, has been ordered by Comn1ission- CT George D. Pratt of the Conserva- ton Department.
 Under the conservation law it is H. legal to uloIest or disturb any wild beavers or their dams or houses, ex- cept, under a permit issued by the Commissfoner in case of damage to public or private property.
 F A. Gaylord, Forester and Super intendent Of Ne-ha-sa-ne Park, re- ports that beavers In that park have raised lake until boathouses are flooded, and that for more than half a mile railroad right of way used in Iunberdng operations is under water.
 other grievances have been filed with the commission. It is said the beav- CTS have multiplied to such an extent than sonne measures should be taken to curtain their operations. On the other hand are arrayed for their con- tinued protection most of the hotel and summer resort interests of the North Woods. whose patrons take great interest in the increasing and frequency of the beaver colonies
 4 preliminary investfgation showed that at Big Moose on May 8, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, the beavers cut down three poplar trees in front Of IL H. Covey's Camp Craig. They also cut down the same night another poplar six inches in diameter. Along the streams running into Big Moose from the south and east 21 dams were st located. They vary in length from 20 to fS0 feet, and are to 4 feet high. On the outlet of Chub11 Pond are two, setting the water from 50 to 80 feet back from the old shore line into the timber. Below Constable Pond a dam 72 feet long backs water up for a mile into Constable Pond Similar conditions were reported from other points.

 AS this is the first opportunity the Knights have had Of displaying their entire premises to the public 1t is expected that a crowd that will tax not only the clubhouse itself, but the grounds as well, will be present.
 Ideally laid out from a natural standpoint for an affair of this kind, with the hundreds of decorative Ian terms and electric lights which are to be employed, the effect should be both unique and brilliant.
 A continuous entertainment is to be I.rovfded. The aanusements will be many and diversified but the nature Of them is being kept secret by the cornputtee in charge until the evening of the festival, and many surprises are promised for those who attend.
 The gal age will be transformed inso "a Casino for that evening and dancing will no doubt be one of the most en- joyab1e attractions to the young peo pie. Should Wednesday evening be stormy the law fete will be held tfe next fair evening following.

ToDAY's POEM
A BYwAY.

T ] The highway marches sturdfIy to
 market-town and mill. But I would find a little road that
 lofters up hi1l,- A little vagrant, woodland road, gray
 ribboned through the green, Where berry brambles bar the way
 and orchard elders 1ean-~ The highway is the worlds way. but
 I would drop behind To follow little turing paths that. only
 Iaggards find; The challenge of the bandit weeds,
 the tilt with startled bees $ What can the dusty highway give for
 journeyings like these The highway is the suns way, and
 follows east to west, But. there are yellow, cagrant beams
 that love my road the best That finger down the weedy ways
 where lady 's-face is spread, Or slant through shady orchard paths
 and tint the tree trunks red The highway. the highway .-you fol-
 low where it calls: I watch you through a leafy screen
 from crumbling orchard wells wait and smile among the green and
 know that by and by
 know that by and by We'11s1ure you back through dust and

Branded Cherries.

For branded cherries use perfectly sound large sweet cherries, remove
 the stems. Put over fire in the pre- serving kettle a pound of sugar and
 a quart of water; boil together and
 skim syrup clear scald the cherries in this for two or three minutes just to heat through nicely, but not to break the skins. Cool and mix with an equal quantity of best brandy. Put cherries into wide-mouthed bottles, pour the syrup over them and seal se- curely. A good way is to use large fiat corks, then dip into sealing wax.
