1 REVIEW OF INDIANA I

6 George Simmon?, colored, is under arrest at South Bend ou the charge of passing a counterfeit $00 bill. Ed Lane, 17 years old. after an 111r.ess of twelve hours, died at Petersburg of cigarette consumption. When he became so ill that hopes for his recovery were abandoned, he divulged the hidins place of hundreds of c'garcttees that he had prepared to smoke, and they were destroyed. Gam.e Warden Rigrney, of GDshcn, brought a man from that place to Elkhart, and had hira arraigned as John Doe on the charge of killing a deer in Elkhart county on Nov. T.O. The accused was fined $."0 and costs, $30 of which was promptly paid. The identity of the man was kept secret. ' Crawfish have often been found deep underground, but it is seldom frogs have been discovered hibernating far beneath the surface. Last week, however, sewer contractors in Elkhart found several batrachiaus twelve feet underground. They were dormant when picked up, but soon came to life. The killing of stray dogs on the street in Alexandria because ot fhe mad dog scare which followed the death of 12-year-old Helene Ward, was begun by the police and a half dozen dogs have been killed. The majority cf dog owners heeded the proclamation ot Mayor Edward sand either muzzled their dogs or kept them confined. So far no additional cases of rabies have developed. 1 Three trees from the tropical zone, which are owned by Homer Gaddy, the Manila druggist, are attracting considerable attention. They are a 12-year-old orange tree which, at present, has thirty-six oranges on it; a 3-ycar-old lemon tree having two lemons on it, one being fourteen inches in circumference; and also a Japanese orarge tree which produces fruit enly once in every three years. Shooting on a State game preserve t'outh of Tcrre Haute cost Dan Lynch and Walter Bledsoe, of that city, $13 each in a justice court, according to a ieport made to the office of the State fish and game warden. Lynch and Bledsoe, it appears, had bagged a fine lot of game, particularly quail, while hunting on the preserve, and escaped without notice, as they thought. However they were, arrested soon after their return to Terre Haute and pleaded guilty. Mrs. Mary A. Schooler, widow of the late Benjamin Schooler, who 13 dead at her home in Columbus, at the age of eighty-five years, knew William Henry Harrison. Her maiden name was Hughes, and she wa3 born on a farm which is now covered by the city of Cincinnati. Her father's farm joined the farm owned and occupied by William Henry Harrison. Her father served with General Harrison in the battle of Tippecanoe, and Mrs. Schooler used to tell of the early days of the man who afterward became President She used to see him every day when she was a child. Grant County is rich in women who do things." She has women who write, paint, sing, encase in commercial life, preach, edit papers and do almost everything else and are successful at it, too, but Gas City has added a new one to her list In the person of Mrs. X. G. Fort, who. for some time has been conducting her husband's barber shop in Third street. Business was not so good as it had been at one time and Mr. Ford got work and went to Chicago. During his absence Mrs. Ford took charge cf the shop and the customers say she can cut hair, shave and massage as well as her husband. A letter received at the Richmond postoffice a few days ago bore the postoffice address, "Seeder Rabbits." There was no other guide to the place of destination meant by the sender. The mailing clerk who attempted to "route" the missive cast it aside, but after several attaches of the office had viewed the curiosity and scratched their heads. It was decided that the writer evidently intended that the letter should go to Cedar Rapids, la., and in his Inability to spell correctly had brought the phonetic system into play. There was no State Indicated, but. according to the postoffice directory Iowa has the only "Seeder Rabbits." Henry Allouez, southwest of St. Anne, has an old sword, the blade of which, the owner asserts, contains 812 sheets of metal. The sword was made In Japan and was brought to this country by Mr. Allouez's grandfather seventy-five years ago. The blade, according to Mr. Allouez, is made from magnetic Iron ores. The steel Is produced in small sheets, as thin as it is possible for them to be, and soldered together until the mass forms the desired length and thickness. The blade Is then brought to a white heat, doubled , and hammered to its original thickness, this process being repeated fourteen times. Mr. Allouez asserts that the sword has been handled down In the family, from father to son, for the last 120 years. Messrs. Everly & Wallace, of Plymouth, have received the contract from the United States Government for constructing the new postoffce building at Niles, Mich. Their bid was $16,000. John Jones, 10 years old, of Mitchell, died in terrible agony of lockjaw resulting form his toe being cut off by a train. He was with a crowd of boys near the track when, it Is said, they told him If he did not get on thp train then passing they would throw at him. Joseph Massing, aged 43 years, while hunting near Madison, leaned on his riHe, and his dog in pawing at him pulled the trigger and the bullet entered Massing's side. He will recover. The oldest man in Bartholomew County underwent a surgical operation at his home in Ilnrtsville recently and his physicians believe he will recover, lie is John Wesley Pottoroff and will be 9G years old if he lives a few weeks longer. Until a shorMime ago he was as active as a man SO years of age and did all the work around hi3 house and gromds, which are extensive. Jutfge Chapln, aged 77 years, of Ft. Wayne, who was struck by a street car, died of his injuries. He once held the office of Superior judge. Kd Maler, the merchant at Chrisney, whose store wa3 dynamited last week, has sold out and will move to Evansville. A little more than a year ago his store was burned. He took the lead in the anti-saloon fights and received several threatening notices before his property was destroyed. Chrisney has been for several years suffering from a fierce feud between the -wets" and "dry."

Interurban cars will soon be in operation between Warsaw and Mentone over the Winona line. McDowell Brothers, formerly of Auburn, are organizing a company at Muncie to manufacture motor vehicles. Thomas Dowling, a farmer near Morocco, has a small colony of bees, occupying a quarter of an acre of land. This year he sold honey to the amount of $304.24, and has 150 pounds left. His total expenses in 'onnection with the bees for the .iv.-n was $24.80, leaving him a profit of $339.44 on the year's crop of honey. A tract of forty acres In the oil field near Oakland City sold recently for $4,SC0. The land was bought from the Nichols-Shepard Machine Company, and had come to the company in satisfaction of a mortgage for a machine sold several years ago. Aside from the prospect of oil under it, the land was practically worthless. South Fork, a small stream flowing a mile east of Oakland City, and emptying into the Patoka river, and which has been the fishing place of Oakland City for generations, has been ruined as a fishing resort. Great volumes of salt water flows from around the casing in each oil well diilled in the vicinity and all this water flows to South Fork. The fish have c'ied or have left the stream. The family of Charles Steimel, In the St. Thomas church neighborhood, near D?cker, is sorely afflicted with the whooping cough. Two of Steimel's ten children died last, week, and six of the remaining eight are in a very serious condition. There is a great deal of whooping cought in the locality, although it has not broken out in any one part of tbe country in .the form' of an epidemic. The Farmers' and Merchants Bank of Clay City has several $5 greenbacks o the first issue of this kind of currency put into circulation forty-seven years ago. Several months ago a deposit was made of money which had been kept between loaves of an old family Bible until the death of the woman to whom it haä been sent by a soldier of the Civil War. The bills are kept at the bank as relics. June, the month of roses and weddings, failed to hold her usual record in a matrimonial Lne last year in Shelby County, according to the records of the county clerk. That month was beaten by February, October and November. The number of marriage licenses issued each month are: January, IS; February, 2S; March, 22; April, 14; May, 14; June, 26; July, 12; August, 22; September, 22; October, 2T; November, 22; December, 21. Playmates In childhood, lovers at 60, George H. Oglebay, cashier and leading stockholder of the Romney Bank, and Miss Lucy Harter, of Frankfort, went to Chicago a few days ago and were married at noon at the home of the bride's brother, George Harter. Mr. Oglebay was married twice, both wives dying. Three weeks ago Miss Harter wert to Romney to visit old friends, and Mr. Oglebay met her for the first time in many years. They planned their wedding and decided to waste no time. One of the big delivery horses of the Adams Express Company in Columbus has grown so vicious that it has been shipped to Chicago. The horse frequently stood in front of the express office, In Washington street, where it "nipped" at pedestrians on the sidewalk. Afew weeks ago George Schooler, a mail carrier, was passing, when the horse reached for him, grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him from his bicycle. The teeth of the horse Inflicted ä wound In his right shoulder that caused him to be oft duty for three weeks. The horse was then muzzled, and this seemed to increase its anger. Last week, Fred McCaslin, who drove the horse, was standing near the wagon, when the animal struck him with its muzzle and broke three ribs. He tried to work again in a few days, and tore the ribs loose. Then the horse Avas coaxed Into a car and shipped away. The Cox family, of Central Indiana, claims the world's longevity record. There are three sisters and a brother who are centenarians, and their combined ages total 430 years. They are: Mrs. Eliza Wilson, Ford, Kan., 116; Mrs. Nancy Ridenhour, Br;wnsburg, Ind., aged 106; Mrs. Anna Bolton, Alexandria, Ind., aged 104; James Cox, Quincy, UK, aged 104. Mrs. Bolton and Mrs. Cox are twins, and lay claim to the record as the oldest twins in America. Mrs. Ridenhour has Just celebrated her birthday. She is an Invalid, but her sisters and brother are not only able to look after thcmeslves, but insist strenuously on doing so. This is true of Mrs. Wilson. Two years ago Mrs. Bolton, then 102, paid Mrs. Wilson a visit. While there Mrs. Bolton became ill, and for several nights her sister, 114 years old, attended her In a manner that a professional nurse might have envied. L. II. Henry, a Warsaw man whose lower lip was eaten away by cancer, will shortly submit to an operation in a Fort Wayne hospital in which an effort will be made to replace the lip by the grafting process. Dr. W. II. Johnston, head of the Latin department of tho University of Indiana, has been admitted to the Monroe County bar. Though not a lawyer, Mr. Johnston said he wished to become a member of the bar that he might get better acquainted with attorneys. Major May Post, G. A. R., and Major May Corps, W. R. C, of Anderson, have presented a woolen flag, 8 by 16 feet, to the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans Home, at Knightstown. Charles L. Williamson, a wealthy farmer, living near Noblesville, wa3 kicked on the head by a horse last week and fatally injured. He was rendered unconscious by the blow, which fractured his skull, and lay in the snow near his barn for some time before being discovered by a member of his family. There is no hope of his recovery. Albert Newman, living a mile west of Milton, caught a fox a few days ago. It was a fine animal and measured four feet and seven Inches from tip to tip. Mrs. David Nugent, of Milton, received a letter recently, postmarked at Ingalls, that is a great mystery to her. The letter inclosed 30 cents in postage and a note saying, "the inclosed cancels a debt of many years' standing No name is attached, and Mrs. Nugent does not know anyone living at Ingalls, nor does she remember the debt.

During the past year the exports of Jersey cattle from the Isle of Jersey, ;he homo of this grade, have almost loubled.

The mare with foal should be liberilly fed nutritious feed. Moderate exercise for her Is better than to be Idle nost of the time. We have known farmers who are so conceited that they never realize their success was entirely due to the good sense of their wives. A farmer can no more keep his apple irees in bearing condition without spraying than he can keep himself Wealthy without bathing. Concrete blocks make good pillars Tor barns, sheds, cribs and all out suildlngs. They are cheap, üicchaulcal ind as durable as time. The man who keeps his boy out of chool to husk corn is paying a price for his labor that can never le made .ip. Give the boy a square deal. Horses that are of a nervous and fretful disposition will be more satisfactory In buggies than when hitched :o rlows. The plow horse . must le teady. The farmer who has learned something new in his work and tells his neighbors about it at the Institute is i good citizen and a iower in the com munity. No doubt the birds do destroy their lia re of the bugs and worms, but it takes a deal of optimism to view with xaiplaceucy our cherry trees stripped ?lean by the feathered friends. The men who are prone to belittle the work of the women folk make the biggest fuss if they are left to shift for themselves for a single day while the wife and daughter go visiting. The farmer of to-day cannot succeed if h shuts his eyes to the progress that I goin on all around him. lie tnust keep up with the procession or Ihe steam roller will flatten him out. When your iet theorj' has proved a failure, hasn't worked out as you JxiH'cted. and there Is no reasonable liance for its doing so, be man enough to admit your mistake, and give it up. A horse needs a wider and more ex elusive stall than does a cow. It should 1)0 wide enough so that the hflrse can lie comfortably and'stretch out, its legs, but not so wide that he can roll in it. The appetite of a sheep Is something that requires watching. Feed them only such a quantity as they will eat up at one time. To feed more is no advantage to them and Is a loss to the feeder. While we are scouring the whole world for markets for our products there is not a week but what English mutton is being eaten on the tables of our richest people, because we are ueglectlng this trade. And we want to urge the inipor lance of beginning early in the hau düng and training of the colt. Get him used to the halter, handle him frequently and break him to driving by putting a pair of lines to the halter and walking behind him. You will be surprised to Hee how soon he will learn to obey the commands to stop and to start and to stand still. The eastern farmer cannot compete vith the western farmer in the crow lug of grain, and the feeding of beef uid pork on a large scale, but there never has been a time when he could not find profit in the growing and marketing of the best quality of mutton, tlthough" there have been years of low prices and slow markets, but not un'ess other meat products were selling xmparatlvely low. Refrigeration for Small Plares. A writer in a contemiorary describes i simple method of refrigeration for mall places. He arranges two vats. one a little lower than the other, in j ?sich of which he fits n platform some , llstance from the bottom, aud lays heaps of Ice on these platforms. He rst runs the cold water Into the upper vat, and scatters it over the Ice by means of a rose fitted to the pipe. The water runs over the Ice, and by gravitation finds Its way to the bottom, whence it is run off to be cooled In similar fashion into the lower vat, whence the now doubly cooled water I Is pumped through another pipe to cool j the milk or cream cans, as the case may bo. He states that pasteurized milk can thus le reduced to about 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep "Working In Orchard. Apples and some other fruits have been almost a total failure this year. Do hot allow this to let you neglect the farm orchard. Set out and care for the fruit trees just the same. Our fruit crop has not been a large one, yet we worked with the orchard last year nnd this spring, and have been celling apples, peaches, grapes and pears all summer nnd fall at high prices, much to the surprise of our near neighbors, who are always discouraged when a fruit crop Is light. We are going to work right along with our trees and try to make them bear some good fruit each year. There Is often as much in the fnltli and work of the grower as in the season. This season n large number of our trees have netted us from $1 to $1 each, and this is not bad for a good fruit year. I C Beckwith, Tennessee. Flatulent Home olle. In a work issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, entitled "Diseases of the Horse," this subject is discussed in detail, in which are given the causes, symptoms and the common methods of treatment. It j is pointed out that among the most ! frequent causes of this form of colic are t'. be mentioned sudden changes of food, too long fasting, food given while the animal Is exhausted, new hay or grain, large quantities of green food, food that has lain In the manger for some time and become sour, indigestible food, Irregular teeth, crib bit-

ing. and. in fact, anything that pro duces indigestion may cause flatulent -olic. The symptoms of wind colic are not so suddenly developed, not so severe as those of cramp colic. At first the horse Is noticed to le dull, jkiws slightly, and may or may not lie down. The pains from the start are con tinuous. The lellv enlarges, and by striking it in front of the haunches a dnnnlike sound results. If not soon relieved the ntove symptoms are nggravated, and in addition there are no-tic.-d difficult breathing, bloodshot eyes and red mucous membranes, loud, tu multuous heart beat, profuse perspira tion, trembling of the front legs, sigh ing respiration, staggering from side to side, and finally plunging forward dead. The diaznostie symptoms of flatulent colic are the distension of the bowels with fms, detected by the bloated appearance and resonance on percussion. Origin of Foot find Mouth LHaeas. That the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease now prevalent in several States was due to the importation into this country of either such material as straw with merchandise, or in the clothes or effects of Immigrants, is the opinion of Secretary Wilson. "It now seems clear that the present outbreak had its origin near Detroit," said the Secretary in an npionl to the House for an emergency appropriation of ?500,C00 to fight the disease, "and that the infection in the other States came through that source. With the combined efforts of State and federal authorities, there is every reason to believe that the disease will be eradicated within a reasonable time. "As the foot and mouth disease is strictly a contagious disease and has not been known to exist in the United States since 1P03 until the present outbreak, it is beileved that the infection was introduced into this country in seme manner from abroad, though just how the department Is not able to determine. In view of our strict quarantine on imported animals, it does not seem possible that it could have been brought iu with live animals." Horse Meat ns Food. Through the considerable increase in prices of beef, mutton nnd iork throughout the German empire attention has lecn drawn to the fact that the use of horse flesh in that empire as an article of diet is Increasing. In Rerlin there are 200 slaughter houses for horses, and In the suburbs fifty, emplccing In all about 1,000 men. A great delicacy in Hamburg and one of the best known meat products Is horseflesh sausage. v The industry has been in existence for about fifty years .and considerable quantities of this sausage are exported ns beef sausage. Over 0,000 horses are slaughtered every year in Hamburg for food. Scientists claim that it is sentiment alone which prevents horse flesh from ielng sold in large quantities than It is at the present time. The flesh of the horse, they state, Is more free from parasites than beef or pork, and is richer In nutriment. In Berlin a short time ago a prom: Inent restaurant proprietor gave a banquet, to -which he Invited fifty of his friends. At the feast dishes of leef and horse flesh were served and out of the fifty guests present only six were able to distinguish between the roast leef and the roast horse. Farm the Safety Stone. If we for tie moment forget that the land underlies all prosperity we have leen brought to a sharp realization of the fact by the recent panic, writes Clinton M. Shultz. When deIosltors found they could not get their cash from the banks they eagerly sought to exchange their bank books for real estate deeds nnd mortgages. During the last ten years of prosperity thousands of small faramers not alone In New England nnd the East, but throughout the West and Southwest as well, attracted by the high wages paid by the mills, factories nnd railroads, left their farms and flocked to the cities. They found plenty of work at wages which in comparison with the cash earnings of .he farm loomed large. Farm boys and farm laborers were swept cityward by the rush and the problem of securing help to put In the crops and save them when they were grown had become one of grave importance. In ppite of the advance of from 15 to 25 ier cent in wages of farm laborers help had become so scarce in some sections that many farmers were giving up growing grain crops and putting their lands to grass. Thousands of farms were thrown on the market because the owners could n)t manage them alone and could not secure help. The negro of the South abandoned the plantation for the railroad and the mine and never since "the war has the Southern planter been so harassed for lack of help. The panic quickly wrought a great change. When the mills and factories were shut down thousands of workmen found themselves out of employment. Men who had left their little patches of ground to be cared for by their wives and children while they Fought big wages in the cities, hurled back home to find something to eat and a place on which to lay their heads. They took up the grubbing boo and the scythe and Itegan to clear their neglected farms of the weeds and brambles and to put in new crops. Farm laborers who had given up $25 a month with board, lodging nnd washing, for city jobs at much higher pay, but all expenses to be lorne, hustled back to the country, glad to slip into their old places at $15 nyd .$20 per month. The fresh country ham and eggs tasted mighty good after the scant fare of the cheap city boarding house. The farming industry hijs been greatly benefited by the change and the improvement Is likely to continue for years. Farm labor Is now more plentiful than it had leen since 180S, and. while wages have not been deeply cut, there has leen a material reduction. But even at the reduction farm laborers will be slow to leave positions that are permanent, healthful and, all things considered, more remunerative, to go back to the discomforts of city life. Farm boys will be less eager to abandon comfortable homes for the uncertainties of city life, and we may expect a more stable condition of affairs on the farm than has existed for many years.

At times I thought I would scratch myself to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large reJ patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was advised to gfl to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I received very little relief. I tried every known remedy, with the same results. I thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies.

"That's better," grunted the gory one as he removed the handkerchief and after a test found the bleeding had stopped. "I'm subject to these attacks of nose bleed," he explained to the astonished youth, handing him a tip. "I have tried all 6orts of remedies, but nothing acts more promptly than a blow alongside the head. The shock seems to paralyze the ruptured blood vessels, and they quit work at once.

"A captain cf industry has nothing to do with the military except indirectly; that is, except as he finds the military useful In assimilating new markets and old products such as embalmed beef and the like. No, a captain of industry is a man whom we select to run our Industries." "Indeed!" returned the Man from Mars. "That must be quite an honorrole position. Does he pay you anything for such a high privilege?" The editor had difficulty In keeping back a smile. "Hardly," he replied. "On the contrary, we pay him well, or rather he charges us well, for the honor thus forced upon him." 1 "You say you pay him?" "Well, of course we do not pay him In the form of wages. We pay him in the form cf profits." "That is a new system to me," said the Man from Mars, interestedly. "How does it work?" "Oh, it works all right," said the editor, "so long as the captain of ' Industry can find markets to dispose of his surplus product, for you know all his profit comes from the sale of the surplus over and above what he pays to labor. Of course when markets fall he shuts up his plant." "What happens then?" pursued the Man from Mars. "I would rather not talk about It," replied the editor.. "It might sound too pessimistic."

After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me It "was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she ahvays made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good 'coffee when you use Postum. "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully. "My grandmother 1 suffered a gTeat j deal with her stomach. Her dotor told ! her to leave off coffee. She then took tea, but that was Just as bad. "She finally was induced to try Postum, which she has used for over a year.

(7ESTEBN CANADA'S 1908 CHOP

Will Give to the Farmer of West a Splendid Return. The following Interesting bit of Information appeared in a Montreal paper: ."Last December, In reviewing the year 1007, we had to record a wheat harvest considerably smaller in volume than in the previous year. Against ninety millions in 100G the wheat crop of the West in 1907 only totalled some seventy-one million bushels and much of this of iuferior quality. But the price averaged high and the total result to the farmers was not unprofitable. This year we have to record by far the largest wheat crop In the country's history. Estimates vary as to the exact figure, but it is certainly not less than one hundred million bushels and in all probability it reaches one hundred and very high, so that in all respectfi the Western harvest of 100S has been a memorable one. The result upon the commerce and finance of the country is already apparent. The railways are again reporting increases in traffic, the general trade of the community has become active after twelve months' quiet, nnd the banks are loosening their purse-strings to meet the demand for money. The prospects for 1909 are excellent. The credit of the country never stood as high. The immigrants of 1907 and 190S have now been absorbed into the industrial and agricultural -im munity and wise regulations an in force to prevent too great an Influx next year. Large tracts of new country will be opened up by the Grand Trunk Tacific both In East and WTest. If the seasons are favorable the Western wheat crop should reach one hundred and twenty million bushels. The pros pects for next year seem very fair." An interesting letter Is received from Carflston, Alberta (Western Canada), written to an agent of the Canadian Government, any of whom will be pleased to advise correspondents of the low tates that may be allowed intending settlers. Cardston. December 21st 1908. ,Dear Sir Now that my threshing Is done and the question, "What will the harvest be?" has become a certainty, I wish to report to you the results thereof, believing it will be of interest to you. You know I am only a novice In the agricultural line, and do not wish you to think I am boasting because of my success, for some of my neighbors have done much better than I have, and I expect to do much better next year myself. My winter wheat went fiftythree bushels per acre and graded No. 1. My spring wheat went forty-eight and three-fourths bushels per acre and graded No. 1. My oats went ninety seven bushels per acre and are fine as any oats I ever saw. My stock Is all nice and fat, and are out in the field picking their own three square meals a day. The weather Is nice and warm, no snow and very little frost This In hort Is an Ideal countiy for farmers and stockmen. The stock requires no shelter or winter feeding, and cattle fatten on this grass and make the finest kind of beef, better than com fed cattle in Illinois. Southwestern Alberta will soon be known as the farmers' paradise; and I am only sorry I did not come here five years ago. Should a famine ever strike North America I will be among the last to starve and you can count on that .1 thank you for the personal assistance you ren-1 dered me while coming in here, and I assure you I shall not soon forget your kind offices. (Signed.) O. D. WEEKS. ' Come Dark. Some of the West Indian islanders have learned that when a foreigner misbehaves on their shores it Is better to suffer in silence than to mete out punishment at the risk of a descending gunboat from the miscreant's native land. A judge in Haiti, however, recently took occasion to pay off old scores and to redeem his self respect In the case of an offender brought before-him. To his first question as to the nationality of the accused the interpreter had answered that the prisoner was from Switzerland. "Switzerland!" said the judge. "And Switzerland has no seacoast, has It?" 'No seacoast, your honor," replied the interpreter. "And no navy," continued the judge. "And no navy, your honor," was the reply. "Very well, then," said the judge, give him one year at hard labor." Brooklyn Life. Lore's Teat. The young husband's face was aflame with a deathless devotion.
