Tarkey Cases in Court,
Turkeys must have been extraordi-
narily plentiful last fall if one can
judge from the number of turkey cases
in the court last week. All told there
had been three, involving a total of
fourteen turkeys worth about $25, and
which will cost the county a full day's
session of court, or about $250, or an
average of $17.85 a turkey, and the
county didn’t even get a turkey. Such
is the greatness of law-—-one can get
abundance of satisfaction and little
justice, all at the people's expense.

A Corset for the Foot.
The latest atrocity in the interest of
fashion is the corset for the foot. The
new instrument of torture is made so
as to enable a size smaller shoe to be
worn than would otherwise be possi-
ble, and consists of a strong thin band
of web, which is fixed around the in-
step while the foot is oft the ground.
When it is in place it is comparatively
easy to put on a shoe which is alto-
gether too small, and the pressure be-
ing on the corset instead of the shoe
the latter does not stretch.

Train Late,
Tuesday morning the passenger train

over three hours late in arrival, and
did not get in until after eleven o'clock.
The delay was caused by a big freight
