THE LFLAXD HUDGET.
The people of Leland were startled
Sunday by the news that A. J. Price,
a miner well known In this com
munity had committed suicide in his
cabin nine miles down Grave creek
from Leland. The county coroner,
Dr. Strieker, was summoned and
went down to the scene of the suicide.
A jury consisting of Owen Chick,
Wm. Klum, G. E. Strong, L. Klum,
Caleb Corder and Carl Karg was Im
paneled. The jury's verdict was
that a premeditated suicide had been
committed. The evidence showed
that a few days before Mr. Price had
purchased a revolver of a friend.
Upon paying the price asked for the
weapon he asked If that were enough
to settle for it, saying that perhaps
he might not see his friend again.
The man thoiiRht nothing of the In
cident at the time. Arrangements
had been mnde by Mr. Trice to meet
a friend Sunday morning, May 1,
Upon Mr. Price's failing to keep the
appointment his friend went to the
cabin to find out the cause. As he
went up the trail to the cabin he call
ed, but receiving no answer entered
the cabin nnd found the corpse lying
on the cot the revolver still clasped
In his left hand. The deceased was
n man of about fifty years of age and
has no known relatives. He Is said
to have been In 111 health and to have
suffered a great deal at times and
this Is supposed to have been the
cause of his taking his own life.

Inspector Burke Gives Advice.
It Is perhaps a little late to give
instruction for this spring's planting
of trees, but it is a matter that has
been forcefully brought to my atten
tion during the past few weeks. On
preparing the tree In the first place
for planting carefully prune the roots
to from three to five laterals. Make
them about four Inches long, then
you have a tree that will make a
good growth and will stand dry
weather. The ground Bhould be In
good condition for planting. Dig
the hole for the tree not less than
30 Inches across and deep enough to
set the graft or bud one inch below
the surface of the ground. Make the
soil fine In the bottom of the hole
and spread the roots out naturally,
fill In around with fine soil, then
scrape the dirt from, the top of the
ground Into the hole, lastly replacing
the soil that was taken out In dig
ging the hole and finishing It well
with the foot. If your tree is worth
planting at all. it Is worth while to
do It properly. The disappointment
In getting trees to grow Is caused
chiefly by failure to set properly
I but not always. A lot of frosted
'stock Is being set this spring, and
the loss to growers will be heavy.
While I have Inspected and culled
out thousands of trees, other thous
ands have been delivered and set,
without my having seen them. It is
amazing how careless a man can be,
He wants the best stock and Is wlll-
ing to pay the price, but when the
itree arrives a large percentage of
i the buyers simply dig a hole with any
old Implement that Is handy and
lflU n t - 1 , A ,a X-
r-n n a in e in turn expert 11, 10 grow.
Gentlemen, when I spend my hard
earned money I want my money's
worth. The idea Is: First to get the
best stock you can buy, and then give
I It a fair show. All young trees should
be shaded Two shakes make a good
shade and are not expensive. DO
NOT whitewash your trees, that only
closes up the pores In the bark, and
Is of no earthly benefit.
The second spraying for codling
moth must be attended to next week
without fall. Do not delay doing this
work. The fruit crop is very heavy
this year and we want the quality
as well as quantity. All who are
troubled with wooly aphis, black or
green aphis should spray with black
leaf one part black leaf and 70
parts water not stronger, or use the
coal oil emulsion. Formula for mak
ing: pound whale oil soap, 2 gal
Ions coal oil. Dissolve the soap in 2
gallons hot water. Add the coal oil
and mix thoroughly by running It
through the spray pump until it Is
creamy. Add CO gallons of water
and apply with spray pump.
Put Rells on the Cats.
Mrs. Maud Pallington Booth.
who is a great lover of birds, makes
the suggestion thnt bells be placed
on the necks of all cats, so that
birds may have warning of danger.
The author of this plan says that a
surprisingly large number of birds
are annually killed by cats In the
towns and cities and she believes
that they would soon learn what the
bells meant. Humane society work
ers are said to have evidenced In-
terest in the suggestion. The sug
gestion Is certainly worthy of care-
rul consideration. Many of our best
songsters, as well as our Insect dea.
troying birds, are killed by the house

Mark of Murder Is Upon Him.
Life has strange companionships
and names of the most different sen
timents are often linked together In
unseparable history. The name of
the innocent and virtuous Abel is as
sociated with that of the murderer
Cain. Caesar with Brutus, Hamilton
with Burr. The names of the hon
orable and upright Major Andre Is
associated with that of the traitor
Benedict Arnold. Lincoln with
Booth. 'Garfield with Guiteau, and
the name of Wm. McKInley with
that of his assassin'. And biography
furnishes numerous Illustrations of
the association of names of persons
of widely dissimilar sentiment and
aracter.
Occupation brings together the
most different dispositions of hu
manity and association will seldom
assimilate their nature. The gentle
and severe may be unfortunately
thrown together, but the one In em
barrassment and fear will continual
ly tremble under the frigid frown of
the other, and as separation is Im
possible the difference widens be
tween them even to unpleasantness.
The mild, reasonable, merciful and
kind-hearted by circumstances may
be made to dwell side by side .with
the stormy, unreasonable, unkind and
brutish; and at first acquaintance, in
friendly relation, may at times assist
each other in labor, or be together in
pastime, or in the pleasure and ex
citement of the hunting season. But
as time passes acquaintance weakens
friendship. The more agreeable of
the two may, for a while, endure
under the selfish demands and op
pression of the unreasonable, but he
will feel that the difference between
them is widening into a chasm; and
finally the chasm widens into the
gulf of impossibility of pleasant as
sociation and the hand of the other
is raised against him in anger and
the tragedy of Cain is again enacted,
and the mark of the murderer Is up
on him. It may be known to no other
than himself and God, but the mark
of the murderer is upon him as his
own conscience tells him. It may
be known of him and he may be
banished from among men, but the
mark of Cain remains upon him. Or
he may, as before he committed his
crime, go to and fro as he deals with
men, but the mark of blood will not
wash out. Busy and tiresome years
may pass and -carry with them
troublesome memories or selfish
forget'fulness strives to erase from
the mind as he may the horrible
crime he has committed, but the
mark of the murderer is upon him.

One Sided Justice in England.
Englishmen In this country never

of Justice dealt out by the courts in

of committing offenses against land
lords: Kicking a gamekeeper: One
month's hard labor and $10 fine.
Poaching a rabbit: One month's
hard labor.

months' hard labor.
