A 8eggar's Rebuke.

Perhaps the ablest rebuke ever
addressed to miser was that of a
beggar who derisively offered Lord
Brace little silver coin just to get
a sight of his lordship's boarded
gold and silver. Now, Lord Brace
was of true miser breed, and the
mere sight of the silver tempted
him to open his chests, whereupon
the beggar remarked quietly:
"After all, Pm as rich as you, my
lord. i can see your gold, and even
you have not heart to do any more
with it."-Boston Post.

not take the young lambs on account
Of the shipment to the Eastern mai :
ket having been stopped for a short
time by the quarantine laws, and
lambs from this section will not be
allowed to go through. 1t is believed
that these restrictions, however, will
be removed by the middle Of the
month and shipment of the lambs to
the Eastern markets will begin. All
lambs and practically all wool in
the county has been sold, and prices
that were obtained made the
handlers excellent money.
The outlok is for one of the larg-
est crop Of blackberries ever seen
in this section Of the State. The
bushes are fuller Of bloom than in
many years, and this is generally
taken as an indication Of a large
yield. The yield for the past few
years has not been heavy and prices
Of the berries have been high, but
this sason it is believed there will
be an abundance of them. Cherries
are beginning to ripen and the
chances are that there will be a
good yield, especially Of June
cherries. Apples seem plentiful, but

"If any one has question to
ask" said Miss Bell, che must come
up to me very quietly"
Teddy sat frowning over the third

lily of dolls. She gave one-fourth
of them away and had six left. How
many did she give away?"
Suddenly his face cleared. He
arose quietly from his seat and tip
toed up to Miss Bell.
"Will you please tell me-" he
whispered, chow many dolls make
a family? I've never heard" -

plished on Montgomery county
farms last week, most Of it, how
ever, being done in the tobacco
fields, where thousands Of the young
and tender plants were transplantcd
from beds to the field soils during
the heavy season prevalent over
A., the county occasioned by the soak
ing rains, the first in many weeks.
Many of the plants we're small, but
with the seasonable weather they
will get a good start, while in many
fields the plants used were Of good
size and were ready quite early for
the transplanting. While most of
the work was done by hand, large
per cent. of the plants were put out
with a setter, some having been put
into the ground before the heavy
rains came, and Of course they will
get the benefit Of the excellent wat
erfall. The season has been a
backward one on plants, but there
is yet ample time to have plants
large enough, as some Of our best
crops were grown after being set
out the 25th of June. The weather
has also given those who had tobac-
co up in the barns chance to get
it down in good shape, and few
growers just finished stripping last
seasons crop few days ago.
Corn fields are showing up in an
excellent manner and the seed is
terminating well and coming up
nicely everywhere. The indications
are for a good acreage all over the
county, and some Of the fields are
ready for ploughing over. Corn is
badly in need Of hot sunshine, how
ever, and with a few days Of Old
Sol shining brightly it will get a
good start.
Meadows seem to be doing well,
but wheat and rye were slightly
damaged by the recent strong wind
which was prevalent over this Sec
ton for several days. The oats
crop is looking considerably better
and with the good rainfall should
make an excellent yield. Bluegrass
pastures and clover fields are in
fairly good shape, but the crop Of
bluegrass seed will be exceptionally
short in all sections here, and it is
believed that the price will be very
high this fall.
Gardens are doing splendidly, es-
pecially considering the unreason-
able weather of the week, which has
been wet, cold and just the right
sort to make weeds grow, and they
are taking advantage of their usual
are taking advantage of their right
and more of them are seen than
usual in the gardens. Growers want
dry day or two to clean up. All
vegetables have taken on good
growth and with little warm sun
shine it will only be a short while
until there will be an abundance OF
home grown vegetables for the
table.
Stock of all kinds is doing well,
big cattle being in especially good
condition considering the shortness
and lateness of bluegrass pastures,
which caused heavy feeding until
very late in May. There has been
few of these cattle sold, some
having been delivered and others not
to go until later, but handlers of
this class of stock do not seem
very anxious to sell at this true, and
are waiting developments in regard
to price. These cattle are getting
fat rapidly now and will show good
weight later in the year.
Lambs are getting ready for mar
ket in this county, and some pur-
chases have been made for shipment
this week, but the purchasers could

activities the police made elaborate
preparations to trap the indictments.
On March 2 Of this year they seized
two young anarchists, Frank Ablano
and Charles Carbone, in the act of
setting off a second bomb in ST. Pat
rlcks cathedral. The capture was
most dramatic, being rade in the
midst of church service. The po-
lice had been stationed all over the
interior of the edifice, some dis
guised as scrubwomen and others as
ushers. A young detective who had
wormed his way into the anarchists
confidence was there obviously as
their confederate, and the bomb plant
ers were allowed actually to light their
fuse before they were arrested and the
fuse stamped upon.
Among the numerous unexplained
mysteries is the bomb received
through the mails by Judge Otto Ro-
salsky in his home on Riverside
drive March 16, 1912. 1t was meant
to explode on opening, but something
went wrong in the mechanism and the
Judge was not injured.
The famous bomb expert of the po-
lice department, Owen Egan, was
summoned to take charge of the bomb,
and while he was examining it in the
judges library it went OFF, badly In
jured Egan's hands and SCATTERING

was the death of Ida Anusewitz, a
stenographer who was killed Decem-

fernal machine she received in the
mail of her employer, the president of

this character in the Washington
Heights residence section.
Anarchist bombs are usually more
spectacular than those of blackmail-
ers. Churches, courthouses, the resi-
dences of men of wealth and position
are their targets. A bomb was found
at the door of Andrew Carnegie's fine
mansion upon Fifth avenue a few
weeks ago. All well-to-do citizens are
being forced to employ bodyguards.
In the fine districts east of Fifth ave-
nue. the jewellers on a block often club
together to hire an armed night pa
troll. This is protection against bur-
glars, but the growing danger of the
bomb crank has caused the guards to
increase in number.
Only an insignificant percentage of
bomb crimes result in arrests and
convictions of the perpetrators. Plant
ing bomb seems about the safest of
outrages. The bomb itself is almost
always so shattered that the fragments
are useless as clues.
Even where the bomb does not ex-
plcde 1t is seldom useful as evidence.
On the morning of November IA, 1914,
the fuse Of a bomb suffering under
bench in the Tombs police court
caught the eye of Policeman George
l.. O'Connor. He started forward
and grabbed the bomb, which had
only three inches of fuse visible, and
started for the doorway. He tried to
rub the fuse out, and failing in that,
he jerked the insulated fuse from it's
fastening in the heart of the explo-
sive. The bomb consisted of two
pounds of mixed black and smokeless
powder and about thirty loaded car
tridges.
O'Connor's quickness and pluck
probably saved the lives of Magis-
trate John Campbell. his wife, and
many spectators in the courtroom.
The placer of the bomb was never de-
tected.
This bomb was connected in the
minds of the police with four others
of the same year. On February an
unexploded bomb had been found in
the church of st. Mark 's-in-the-Bouwe-
RE after the anarchist Frank Tannen-
baum and his followers had spent the
night there, having been fed and re-
ceived a comfortable place to sleep.
