qualifications OF a sleuth AS he went
about his work day by day he medi-
teted and brooded over various things
he had noticed, and he put two and
two together In bis mind. and con-
cIuded that they made four. and he
determined to investigate. Why did
the able and gifted professor keep his
doors locked all the time? Why did
he keep up great fires in the assay
furnaces at all sorts of unholy hours?
These things were suspicious. Watch
ing his opportunities, the janitor
broke through a brick wall into a
vault under the laboratories, and there
found parts of a human body. Again
he examined the ashes and clinkers
from the furnaces. and found what he
took to be bones. Among the things
found were particles of gold, hu-
man tooth, part of set of false teeth.
The abnormally long jaw of the miss
ing man made Identification easy and
certain. Parkman's dentist recognized
the false teeth at once.
When these discoveries we're made
known to the authorities, Webster had
gone home after a day of arduous toll
in chemical research. and was resting
in the bosom of his family. 1t was de-
cided to arrest him at once, and two
or three officers went to his home in
a hack. They explained to Webster
that they considered 1t necessary TO
make another search of his quarters
at the college and requested him to
go with them. He pretended to be
quite at his ease. and agreed to ac-
company the officers with his usual
but there is no doubt
that he suspected the truth and real
lied that the truth was known. After

Possibly this is the wrong way to
look at 1t. but 1t seems to me that in
our efforts to develop the dairy bust
ness we are about to lose sight of the
fact that growing and fattening beef
cattle is big part of cattle raising.
i near lots of discussion of dairying.
Someone Is always trying to start a
creamery or dairy" writes s. A. Per
ry of Missouri in Farm Progress, but
the beef-cattle business does not get
80 much attention"
Undoubtedly this is wrong. We can't
all go into the dairying or cream-sell-
ing business. There are great stretches
OF good cattle growing and fattening
country in every state where the dairy
ing end of the business cannot
amount to very much for long time
TO come. There are no markets for the
cream, the milk and the butter. Rail
road transportation Is poor and there
are no buyers In reach of the cream.
Where a man has enough land for a
reasonable amount of pasture and can
go ahead raising plenty of grain and
forage at the same time he need not
count himself out of the cattle bust
ness even II there is no trolley line
running through his place and no rail-
road depot handy to take care of sur
plus cream. What he can do is to buy
up calves. raise all he can from the
cows on his home place and turn these
youngsters into big steers with the
help Of his pastures, his forage and his
silo.
The silo is one of the pieces OF
equipment on the dairy farm that the
beef grower can use to a great ad-
vantage. 1t will help make beef and
will do 1t cheaply. With a couple of
well-flled silos the beef grower can
get through short pasture periods in
dry summers and can keep his young

For Oiling Machinery.

The operation of oiling machinery.
especially where 1t is desirable that
the oil should be kept from the hands
and clothing of the operator, has been
devised recently in making use of the
well-known collapsible lead capsules,
SO widely used for artists colors, drug
gists' products, paste, etc, in the Unit,
ed States. The capsules are provided
with a screw thread which is screwed
into an adapter. which in turn is
fastened to the part to be fabricated.
The lead capsule and the brass
adapter make a tight joint. and all
that is necessary is to apply pressure
from time to time. as desired. When
the grease capsule is emptied, one
merely unscrews it ind rrts a new
one In ito place. No refilliDg is neces-
sary, end the pressure of the fingers
is usually sufficient to force the grease
into the bearing.

THE WEssTER-PARkMAN CASE.
Coppetc.<fr ~
Use AtlAr7n
a~ts~sks syrortSro

No modern crime is more celebrated
than the murder of DR.. George Park
man by Prof. John w. Webster of
Harvard college. This because both
the slayer and the slain were distin-
guished men, and also by reason of
the grotesquely horrible circumstances
attending the crime.
Doctor Parkman was a wealthy and
widely known citizen of Boston, and
at the time of his removal was sixty
years of age. He was a man of most
peculiar appearance. His face was
unusually long. and terminated in
sharp chin, protruding to such an ex-
tent that 1t seemed deformity. His
head was bald and down the center of
1t ran huge cranial ridge, suggesting
that his skull had been soldered to-
gether by poor workman. He was
thin and tall. enjoyed excellent health.
and was remarkably active and ener-
getic for one of his years.
Webster was an entirely different
type of man, being short, round and
heavy set. with a rosy and cheerful
countenance. He was popular. not
wfthstanding the fact that he wore
side whiskers. and his attainments
may be Judged from the fact that he
held the chair of chemistry at Har-
yard. and also in the Boston Medical
college. where he had private Offices
and laboratories.
1t was on Friday, November 23. 1s49.
that Doctor Parkman disappeared.
He was man of such regular habits
that the neighbors set their clocks by
him, and when he failed to come home
for dinner his wife was much
alarmed. She told the neighbors, but
they laughed at her fears, and per-
suaded her that nothing could be
wrong. Next morning. however, the
doctor still being absent, and no mes
sage having come from him, Mrs.
Parkman was seriously disturbed,
and she notified the police. Then
systematic search was conducted for
days together, but without results
The doctor was traced to the Boston
Medical college. and there 1t seemed
that he vanished from the face of the
earth.
1t was known that the doctor and
Webster had some financial transac-

swallowed something, and when they
arrived at the Jail he was frothing at
the mouth and almost in commissions.
The poison he had taken, whatever
1t was, caused him great deal OF
physical anguish. but failed to end his
life, which was the consummation he
probably wished.
His trial lasted eleven days, and the
evidence against him, though circum.
stantial, was conclusive. Many learned
and distinguished men took the wit
ness stand. testifying for or against
the prisoner, among them being Oliver
Wendell Holmes. Webster was found
guilty and sentenced to death. He ad
dressed the jury and tried to explain
away the evidence against him, but
his talk was not convincing.
He was in great anguish of mind
when returned to his prison. The
fortitude he had displayed during the
trial deserted him. and he became
rather pitiable object. Application
was made to the governor for COM
mutation of sentence, and in support
of this application Webster made
confession he declared to be true. He
admitted having killed Parkman. but
insisted that the crime was unpremed-
itated, and that he suffered great
provocation.
According to his story he owed
Parkman money which he was unable
to pay at that time. Parkman called
at his Office on the fateful Friday and
was very angry because Webster didn't
have the money ready. Webster be-
gan to make an appeal for more time,
but the visitor was furiously angry,
and upbraided him in the bitterest
terms, applying the most contemptu-
Gus epithets. cat last" said Webster
his fury became almost maniacal and,
unable longer to endure it, when he
thrust his fist Immediately in my face.
I struck him over the head with a
stick. The blow was upon the temple,
and he fell heavily to the floor. Every
effort to resuscitate him was in vain,
and in the agony attendant upon the
discovery that l was murderer, my
first thought was how to conceal the
body"
His petition for clemency failed to
move the governor, and one doleful
day he walked in fear and trembling
to the gallows tree, and his name was
added to the long list of distinguished
men who, through some moral or
mental crook, have brought them
selves into that shadow of disgrace
which shall be lifted nevermore."
