Comfortable Homes help.

The better farm home is not pam acea for all ills of dissatisfaction with farm life. TheSe will be farm boys and farm girls who will want to take up other professions than tilling the soil. The problem, says the depart ment of agriculture, is not to force them to stay on the farm, but to make conditions good enough there that they may make an intelligent choice.

Imprisoned Arm.

In the early days of California a thief with his knife slit hole in a neighboring tent at the head of bunk, thrust in his arm and extracted a bag of gold dust. He was caught with the goods, indicted for burglary and convicted. His counsel moved for an arrest of judgment and new trial on the ground that he was not guilty of burglary, for he had not "broken into and entered" the premises, as charged in the indictment. The court refused to grant new trial, but saic that in passing sentence he would take the peculiar circumstances into con- sideration. He did so. He sentenced the arm that entered the tent to ten years imprisonment, but accorded to the defendant the option of accom- panying it there or of cutting it of, just as he should choose.
