Tic. youth volunteered information to
I)r. Latta in disjointed phrases and from

he was assautt.ed, tied hand and foot,
and gagged with a handkerchief.

M. H. S. Keyes submitted plans of

a projection on the stove that would
tear the coat of the prisoner. 'Tire safe
was opened after the fire, and the look
was in about the sante condition as when
he had left it before the fire. This coin --
batted the story of the robber plunder-
ing the safe.
Mr. Webti made a strong plea for the
dismissal of the charge agairra,t the nese.-
otter on the ground that the evrd. itco
was not of sufficient importance to place

should not have to stand the great ex-

lee on in the study in contrasts that
comes home to every cow owner.
This is the lesson: Don't run a
boarding house for cows. Make beef
of every heifer that doesn't promise
to earn her salt.
Of course parentage is the first con-
sideration. The heifer calf that conies
of a race of good milkers les likely to
be a good milker herself. The care
the calf gets during the first six . or
