BLIND JUSTICE
(Original.)
Tba coroucsr was aeeted at bit dealt,
before which ou aupporta rented a cof
fin containing the dead , bod of . a
yotuif girl of the poorer claaa. She bad
been found murdered the night before
on road Wading into the town. No
on knew ber, and the bod bad been
held aa long aa aoemed best for Iden
tification. The only person to whom
the allgtitaat suspicion attached waa a
man who bad, been aeen walking on
the road near wber the body bad been
found. Th police of the neighboring
towns bad been notified, and th man
bad bora arrested and Identified by the
parson who bad eaeo Dim. Th prisoner
was undergoing hla examination.
"Did yon erer see th deceased ba
forr asked th coroner.
"Narer."
"What were you doing on the road!"
1 am a commercial traveler and of
ten walk from on town to another b
atead of waiting for a train. It was ao
In this ca."
Did you ae anything of thla girl on
tbaroadr
"1 bar told you that I never saw
ber before."
The coroner conferred with a police
official then turned again to the pris
oner. There la no evidence against yon,
and I suppose yon are entitled to a
discharge, but you wilt bar to re
main In the car of th pollc for a
abort time."
At that moment aeveral peraona en
tared, leading a blind man.
Thla man, your honor," aald on of
them, "baa come to town looking for
Kla dmiirhlar who. ha iflra haa been
recently lad away from ber bom. W
r 7,7Ti r ZZ L7 .I:
bav told blm of thl dead girl, and
ha deelre to know If It la aba h la
aeeklng."
The moment th old man apiteared
th priaoner atarted. Then he looked
about blm to ace If bla agitation bad
been noticed aud. feeling assured that
all eye were and had been on th
blind tnan, resumed the carelesa alrj

Uon. The blind man, wbo waa old and
on whose face were tbe line of suffer
ing, waa led up and stood trembling
before the coroner. After aome pre
liminary questions bo waa asked to tell
bla story.
"My little girl," be said. "Is a good
girt. She la all I bav to lova and
th only person In th world who lore
me. She cannot be dead, fine la not
dead. She must not be dead. She
worked In a factory, and wben ah
went to work in the morning she gav
me a loving ktse. All tbe long day I
waited for ber to come borne, and then
there waa another loving kiss, and,
though tired, ah talked brightly to
me, cheering me Ilk the flame of a
fir on the hearth to you who can sea.
She never went gadding about in th
evening, but stayed at borne with me,
though I encouraged ber to bring her
young companions to our home,
i "But of late aba had aeemed troubled.
8b could not cheer me a she bad
been used to doing, or, if ah did. I
knew it waa with an effort And I
noticed that tbe more troubled she
mi the mor affection ah ahowed me.
Two week ago abe embraced me mor
tenderly than ever before, hanging
about my neck aa though aba would
never let go." 1
"From that day I have not aeen ber.
My neighbor have told me that ah
had been aeen aeveral times with a
man, but I could get no description of
him. I feel sure the man they saw bar
with haa been tbe cause of ber leaving
me. J have visited a number of town
In hopea of finding ber, without suc
cess. These people have told me that
you have a dead girl In here wbo la
not known, but I do not think it can
be my girl. Still, I will satisfy myself
that she la not"
"now can you do that?" asked the
coroner, "You can't see."
"I can tell my Maggie." said tbe wit
ness ,
"Your honor" aald th prisoner,
then checked himself.
. "Well, what is it?" asked tbe cor
oner.' ' '
"Nothlug; only that an Identification
by a blind man la a travesty on jus
tice." "How doc that concern you?" asked
the coroner, looking at tbe prisoner
with a new Interest
"Only generally," replied tbe prison
er, endeavoring to resume hla care
less in turner, , '
"By what means," aald the coroner
to the witness, "can you know your
daughter?"
"Let me put my hands on her face,
and I will know her at once."
An ashlnesa .spread Itself over the
features of tbe prisoner.
"Load him to the body," aald the
coroner, "and place hla hands on lt"
The old man's hand was placed on
the waist He started. He ran his fin
gers up the body till he came to th
neck, when he uttered a moan. Quick- j
ly be passed his hand over the fac
from chin to forehead and staggered. J
"Oh, Maggie, Maggie!" he moaned.
"Your 'daughter?" asked the"cor
oner quickly. '
"My daughter," walled the old man.
There waa a silence broken only by
the blind man'a sobs; then he was led
away. The coroner turned to the wit
nesa,
"You will b held till you can show
that you are not the man described as
having led the girl, away." 1 1
The prisoner staggered, put hla hand
to bis head and would have fallen bad
he not been supported by a policeman,
who led him away. He was indicted
and tried for the murder, proved guilty
and eonfewd on th scaffold.

A style of yarding recommended by
Professor James E. Bice of Cornell
College of Agriculture and shown
herewith consists of a long or contha
uoua bouse 240 by IS feet, divided into
pens IS by 10 feet, there being sixteen
pens or fewer, tit same proportion, of

most convenient arrangement, aays L.

yard is 300 feet each way, containing
90,000 aquare feet or pasturage for 800
or 000 fowls. The pens are ample for
fifty fowls. There are a little over two
acre In the yards. A method followed
with similar yards la to confine the
fowl to th north yard about Aug. L
Then tbe south yard la plowed and
about Sept 1Q sown to ry and graaa
seed, or clover may bo sown on th
rye In the spring. Wben th ry baa

In the spring the north yard la plow
