DRAINAGE ADDS TO PROFITS
increase of Yield From rs to 100 Per
cent-PhysfcaI Condition of Soil
improved.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production Of crops should
be drained. Even uplands may often
be drained with profit, especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined
to be "spouty" Indeed. drainage is
profitable wherever it is necessary TO
the fullest use of the land.
1t is not uncommon for lands too
wet for cultivation to produce, when
drained, so or 70 bushels OF corn or
oats to the acre. On much Of the
drained land the increase OF yield
is from % to 100 per cent, and by the
increased yield and the decreased cost
of cultivation the value Of the land is
often doubled.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition of the soil by making it more
porous and friable.
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage of swamps and stand
ing water.

him, and he talked of little ssse during
his last hours.
On June the gallows was esected
before Newgate prison, and the usual
immense mob had gathered to,see two
unfortunate men pay the price. 1t was
trusty old gallows that had been
used on many previous occasions, and
the indications we're that 1t had long
career of usefulness before it. The
fatal hour arrived, and the doomed
men appeared upon the scaffold, the
doleful chant Of the bellman still ring
ing in their ears:
All We that In the condemned hole do ie
Prepare you, for tomorrow you shall die
Watch all and pray. the hour is drawing
near,
That you before the Almighty shall APP
pear
Examine well yourselves. in time repent.
That you may not TO eternal flames be
And when st. sepuIchers bell tomorrow
The Lord above have merry on your
souls!
The usral officials appeared upon the
gallows with Clench and Mackley.
when the sign predicted by Cirnch was
given. The whole gallows collapsed,
and prisoners. jailers, executioHer and
priest went down in heap.
Martin Clench sprang to his feet and
triumphantly cried that the sign had
been given. And it was even so, but
1t didn't do Martin any good. Carpen-
tiers went to work at once, and soon
had the scaffold in shape again, and
the two wretched men were again
escorted to the platform and turned
off. For a little while their curious
story, with its coincidence at the gal
lows, furnished topic for my Lord
Topnoddy and the other bloods who
never missed hanging, but the gal
lows was making it's own kind of his
tory almost every day then, and no
mans story could hold public atten-
ton long.
Clench and Mackley were almost
forgotten when a man named Burton
Wood was tried and capitally convict
ed for some offense. Finding that he
was doomed, and wishing to make his
conscience as easy as possible, he con
fessed that he was the slayer of Fryer
and related that when the crime was
committed he was accompanied by g
man named Timms Then came the
further intelligence that Timms also
under sentence of death, was in jail
at Reading. Being questioned, he cor
roborated Woods story in every de

tail There was no possibility OF a
doubt as tc the innocence of Clench
and Mackley, but they no longer cared
anything about earthly justice or in
justice.
For several years thereafter an old
residence in Shepherd street was much
gazed at by the curious. Londoners
pointed it out to their visiting kin
from the country. One of the rear
windows was heavily barred with iron.
and sometimes a CHASTITY, phantomlike
faco was seen at that window.
THAT is Mistress Anne Fryer" the
Londoner would say to his wondering
cousin from the back districts. "She
sent two men to the gallows by giving
mistaken testimony. and when she
learned the truth she became raving
madwoman. She is kept in that room
all the year round. and sometimes
when she is violent they gag her and
chain her to the floor"
AS remarked in the beginning, this
true story has a moral. and it should
be framed and hung up wherever NOR
tai man is engaged in the administra'
ton of justice.

THE SIGN AT THE eALLoWs.

This is narrowing story, but 1t has
a large and valuable moral, which
should be pasted In the hats OF all
men who serve on juries in criminal
cases.
Sunday, May Z. 1897, was g. beau
tiful day. The skies were blue, and
the birds were singing, and the young
mans fancy lightly turned 20 thoughts
Of love. Sydney Fryer, a wealthy
young citizen of London, called upon
his cousin, Anne Fryer. and asked her
if she wouldn't like to take walk, and
she said she would. So they strolled
around the streets until they reached
the suburbs, where there were fields
and commons. Presently they heard
a cry for help, and Sydney said
Some woman is in distress! must
go to her rescue"
Anne tried to persuade him to pay
no attention to the matter, but sgd
ney was too gallant gentleman tc
turn deaf ear to damsel in distress
so he vaulted over a ive-foot wall
from beyond which the cry had come
and, instead Of finding himself in the
