seeds were planted in old berry bas-|

bottom of basket was cut out when the
plants were transplanted. The small

but if the eggs are taken from her she
will begin laying again in a week or
ten days, and so keep on through the
entire summer unless she is allowed to
batch her eggs, In such a case she will
probably run with her brood till fall

prone to care for thelr young for long

County Judge
decided a case at
of Jonathan West, who has invented
a gasolene horseless carriage, and who
was sued by the proprietor of the
Swiss Laudry for damages dope to
the company's wagon by a runaway.
The horse drawing the laundry wagon
became frightened at West's horseless
velilcle and ran away. The laundry-
man obtained a judgment for $42.95
in the municipal court, and the appeal
was argued before Judge Sutherland,
The court says:
