agent, in 1903, was made In response
to the Putnam petition and not on the
application of Hall, as will be alleged
by the defense.
C. n. Zaehary, foreman for the
Butte, Creek company, followed Hen
dricks and testified that he had never
received any notice from Hall to re
move the unlawful fences by which
the company had Illegally Inclosed
public land. He also told of making
overtures to the Government official
and agreeing not only to plead guilty
to the indfetment charging conspiracy,
but also to take the stand and to tell
the truth of the fraudulent operalons
of the llutte Creek Company. He said
that in consideration of his confession
and testimony for the prosecution he
was to be lined $250 and sentenced to
one day in the county jail.
In discussing the case during the
afternoon recess Heney declared that
when the trial began the Government
was prepared with about 75 witnesses
to prove the conspiracy charge against
every one of the defendants that had
been indicted. This array of evidence
served to take the fight-' out of Hen
dricks and Zaehary, who had already
been convicted, the former on a charge
of subornation of perjury and the lat
ter for perjury, and were awaiting sen
tence, and they did not wish to make
a further defense of the conspiracy
charge. For that reason they had
sought the Government officials and
requested an opportunity to plead
guilty and escape with a light sen
tence if possible. Heney contends
that the Government had abundant
evidence to establish the conspiracy
charge without any testimony from
the three co-defendants who have
pleaded guilty, but admits that the
testimony of these three witnesses
has simplified the Government's case
and excused the necessity of examin
ing many of the witnesses that were
originally subpoenaed in the case. It
is denied by Heney that either Hen
dricks or Zaehary have been promised
immunity or any other consideration
in connection with the charges on
which they were convicted in 1906.
For these crimes Hendricks and Zaeh
ary are liable to terms in the peniten
tiary and will probably be sentenced
when the pending trial is concluded,
or as soon as Hendricks' appeal has
been decided.

A ROCKING STONE.
Nw York's Souvenir of the Rsmota
Glacial Ptriod.
Though tens of thousands of persons
yearly see the great rocking stone of
Bronx park In New York city, few
realize that It is the city's most con
spicuous souvenir of the glacial period,
when all of this section whs covered
with an ocean of Ice some 1.500 feet
thick that was moving slowly toward
the south.
That pinkish bit of granite, welghlug
thirty tons, standing seven and oue
hnlf feet above Its rocky base, being
ten feet broad and eight feet thick,
came from the fur north, carried in
the resistless Icy arms of the glacier
thut swept over the continent down to
this latitude, marking Its path by-'--depositing
grent bowlders as It moved
and leaving scratches on the firm rocks
beneath, from the sliding, grinding
bits and masses of granite that set
tled to its base nit .1 were pushed along
as It moved.
This same tiowlder left its mark on
the bare face of the rocky hill to the
north of it. In which lies the crocodile
pool. There the scratches are visible
today, pointing to where the bowlder
stands niul telling the story of part of
Its travels.
When the melting ice departed from
the great block of granite, it left it
standing through the ages a rocking
stone so delicately poised that a pres
sure of fifty pounds exerted on Its
most northc.ni angle causes Its apex to
swsy north and south about two Inch

A Canrdcrats Reporter.
When the Maine was blown up the
wife of Lieutenant Commander Wain
wrlght was at her home In Washing
ton. She had heard nothing of the
news when she was awakened about
4 o'clock In the morning by a violent
knocking r.t the door of her house. Fi
nally Mrs. Wninwrlgbt rose nnd looked
out of the window, asking what was
the matter. A voice called out, "Are
you the wife of Lieutenant Command
er Walnw right?" ' Yes. What do you
want?" "The Maine has been totally
destroyed. We are reporters nnd wish
for some Information about Mr. Wnln
wrlght." Only this and nothing more.

though why horseflesh should have
been Interdicted does not appear. It

She greeted her first and only board
er with a shy dignity, ,
"I think you will find It quiet enough
here, Mr. Holmes, i on said in your t
letter that you wanted to get away
from home nud the children while you
finished your book."
John Holmes put his suit case down
on the veranda and took the huge
rocker offered by Miss Penelope's col
ored servant, Aunt IMlsey.
"It looks nice nud unlet." he said,
taking In the gorgeous coloring of the
trees and the old fashioned flower gar
den, now gay with dahlias and gerani
ums. "I think I will U able to work
ufter a day or so of rest and wander
ing through the woods. When I got
your mother's unswer to my advertise
ment I Instinctively knew that It was
the right one to accept."
Miss Penelope blushed faintly.
"Not my mother's-1 am your-host-ess.
I keep house for my father." She
never In the world would have thought
of herself ns his landlady. "Aunt 1I1
Bey will render you any necessary serv
ice. Take Mr. Holmes' suit case, Aunt
lllsey, and show him his room. Sup
er will be ready lu half an hour."
He went upstairs to the front bed
room, rather pleased that he wotibH
have for company at supper a pleasing
woman of perhaps thirty Instead of
the middle aged farmer's wife whom
his Imagination had pictured.
Miss Penelope, giving a final touch
to her supper table, w ith Its centerpiece
of brilliant fall blossoms, talked to her
blind father, "If It's quiet ho wants,
bo certainly ought to tie satisfied. But
he Is a much younger man than I ex
pected. I have read his last book, nnd
it docsu't seem that such a Jolly look
ing man could have written books so
serious.
"He said there were five children at
his house and that their mother ls
lleved that a constant exercise of lungs
and muscles was good for their devel
opment. We'll feel really Important,
daddy, having a real tsjok written In
our bouse or on our veranda or in our
back yard, wherever geulus happens to
inspire him." And she ran on merrily,
giving the little details which for the
ten years of bis blindness had been
the pleasure of her father's life.

vlded his days Into mornings for work,
afternoons for fishing ami rambling
through the woods and gay little chats
with Miss Penelope and her father
after supper.
Miss Penelope forgot the shyness for
which she was noted and talked of the
things she had read and dreamed
about for years as If she had actuully
lived them. Returning from school ten
years before, she hnd not found tho
average youth of the community con
genial. Her natural timidity and ret
icence had been mistaken for hauteur,
and not one of the country swains had
possessed the courage to ask her to go
for the customary drives or to tho
yearly ice cream festival.
She had tended her flower garden, di
rected the management of her father's
farm and for amusement had lived in
a world or books and magazines, lue
only love of her life was a worship of
Rudolph RnsscndyU after reading "The
Prisoner of Zenda." She unconscious
ly adapted her style of dress to the
lines that she thought would have suit
ed the sienderness of Queen Flavlu
and never realized that she was dream
ing her life away.
To Holmes she tulked freely of her
fancies, of his work, of anything that
the moment prompted, nnd he bad un
consciously added, a touch of her to
the quaint heroine of his book.
"Let me read you tho Inst thrv-9
chapters," he said one evening when
the rain had driven them Indoors from
tho flower garden and the hammock

conceited for a writer to want to read
his own works, but I believe I have
given the exact touch to this, and I
want to see how it strikes you."

One of the witnesses in a lawsuit,
who had Just been sworn, was usked
to give his name. Me replied that It
wus Hinckley. Then the attorney for
the prosecution requested him to give
bis name In full.
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley.'
"I am not asking you for your alius," 1
said the lawyer Impatiently. "What Is j
your real name?"
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley."
"Xo trilling In this court, sir!" stern

right titiuie-Jeffrey or Hinckley?"
"Both of 'em, your honor."
"Roth of them? Which Is your sur
uuiiie?" "Hinckley."
"And Jeffrey is your given name?'
"Yes, your honor." "
"Then what business have you with
an 811118?"
"I wish I kuew, your honor." said
tho witness ruefully. "It Isn't my fnult."
"What do you mean, sir?" demanded
the Judge, who was fust losing his
temper.
"I mean, your honor, that Alias Is
my middle name, for some reason
which my parents never explained to
me. I suppose they siiw It In print
somewhere and rather liked tho looks
of It. I'd get rid of It If I could do
so without the newspapers finding it
out ami Joshing me about It."
"The court suggests that hereafter
