tremes iu saving a man from the gal-

lows I quit criminal practice.

“My last criminal case was a siugu lar one. I was practicing law in Nevada and had achieved quite a roputa tion as a criminal lawyer by reason <yf several almost phenomenal successes, as luck would have it. The rougher element seemed to have confidence In me and to feel safe iu placing their In terests in my charge. Thus it happened that when a man named Ellis was arrested for killing a man named O'Brien, ou a mining claim, a friend of Ellis came to me and paid me a re talner to defend Ellis. I accepted the retainer without making any inquiries as to details or particulars. I was

busy with other matters.

“Just before the case came to trial I looked into it and found that the case against Ellis was a strong one.

He was almost scared to death, and the jury could see that too. While he was getting out of the room I called for the other witness, and he came to the stand in a nervous, trembling manner, which in dicated that 1 already had him scared almost to death. He was very much excited and evidently expected me to go after him as I had gone after the other witness. He could scarcely stammer his uame, and this is \^hut 1 did

Circult Clerk Receives Large Number of Damage Suits Transferred from Clay County Courts to Put-

ALL AGAINST VANDALIA COAL CO.

The Circuit Court Sat. received from Brazil a bundle containing the transcripts and complaints of fifteen suits venued from Clay county to Putnam. The suits are all alike in that each is a suit of a coal miner against the company for damages for injuries received on December 6, 1906. Each of the fifteen suits is 15,000, and the whole number of suits totals $75,000. The complaints allege that the company was reckless and neglectful in that it did not sprinkle the ^oors of the mine as required for safety and by law. That dust was allowed to accumulate because of this lack of sprinkling, and that this dust took fire from a blast, and the defendants were seriously injured thereby. The complaint further states that the entire cause of the explosion was the lack of sprinkling, and that the blast from which the fire came was such as it made every day in regular mining operations, Each of the defendants asks five thousand dollars damages and all other proper relief. The total sum of seventy-five thousand makes the suit loom large on the horizon of the Yandalia Company. Geo. A Knight represents all the plaintiffs.

Daring the past two months members of the Experiment Station have made a study of the seed corn of the state and find the vitality of much of it to he in a serious condition. The unusual cold, wet season of 1907 did not allow the corn to mature and dry out before the time of frosts. In the early part of October much of the corn of the state was still in a very moist and immature condition and tlie sgries of hard freezes which came at that time materially injured the vitality. The result of these conditions is that those corn growers who depended on late selected seed, are now finding upon close examination, many ears of questionable vitality. For these reasons all seed corn should be specially selected and thoroughly testedd. A test of each individual ear should be made and all weak or

dead ears should he discarded.

This test can be made in several ways. The following is suggested as a reliable and satisfactory one. Take a box made of inch lumber and of any convenient size, say about 2 by 2 feet and 3 inches deep. Through the ends and sides about 2 1 .. Inches from the bottom, bore small holes 2 Inches apart. Through these holes, string a light galvanized wire, which will divide the box into squares 2 inches to the side. Then fi’l the box with garden soil or sand and it is ready for use. The ears should he laid on the floor or racks in a row so they can he numbered. From ear No. 1 remove five kernals. each from a different part of tinear, and place these in square No. 1, remove five kernals from ear No. 2 and place in square No. 2, and so on until all the ears have teen tested. After placing the. kernels, moisten the material in ^ the box thoroughly and cover with a glass or rug to keep the surface from drying. Place the tester in a room of ordinary living room temperature, or about 70 degrees Faranheit. After five days examine the corn and any ears that fail to show a strong germination of the kernels, should

be removed and discarded.

This method of testing corn is simple, convenient and rapid, means of securing strong, germinable seed. Only fourteen ears are required to pjlant an acre of ground. With an average yield each ear means five bushels In the fall When a man can test five to eight bushels in a day and locate defnitely all weak or bad ears, can he afford to neglect this important step in the preparation of his seed corn?

He Believed the Boy. A judge was explaining to a young student friend the intricacies of evidence. He illustrated well the case of conflicting evidence—how when the statements of two witnesses are opposed the more probable statement Ls to he accepted. “Usually In conflicting evidence,” he said, “one statement is far more probable than the other, so that we can decide easily which to believe. It Is like the boy and tlie house hunter. A house hunter, getting off a train at a suburban station, said to a boy: “ ‘My boy, I am looking for Mr. Smithson's new block of semidetached cottages.

A Dish of Tea.

In reference to a note about a “dish of tea,” it may be mentioned that “dish” throughout the eighteenth century was a colloquialism for cup. In fashionable houses at first, and foi long, tea was drunk from a cup without a handle brought from China. Tlie vessel was termed a dish. When tlie Chinese cup was first copied by English potters, the convenience of a handle was added. The saucer also was brought from China. It received the name because of its resemblance to the English saucer, n platter In which sailed was served. The familiar gibe, “saucer eyes,” was originally inspired by the sauce saucer long before Lord Arlington gave Hie first tea party in England in Arlington House, where Buckingham palace stands, at the Restoration period.- London Chronicle.
