The witness stated that he was told to go to a Certain house and he would find the quilts, but he did not go. At 11 o’clock on Tuesday, in the County High Court, Anne Goheen ap- peared before Judge Harding on a charge of telling fortunes and was allowed to go on suspended sentence. It will be remembered that Mrs. Goheen was arrested some time ago and appeared before Magistrate J ack- son. The charge was read by County Crown Attorney Devlin and was as fol- lows: That Anne Goheen did on the 18th and 20th of April unlawfully un- dertake to tell fortunes, contrary to the criminal code, section 433. When asked to tell what occurred in the Goheen home. he said he was brought into the parlor. From there he Went to the kitchen. where a pack of cards were produced.

The Crown Attorney said that the constable had had his fortune told and that Mrs. Goheen had attempted to tell it. He cited several cases substantiating his action and the Judge ruled in his favor.

A higher average of prices for wheat and flour is phophesied by the Monetary Times for the next' thre: years. In arriving at that deduction our contemporary says: The recent estimate furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture, covering the world’s wheat crop of 1907, gives the aggre- gate production ior the year as 3,- 103,922,000 bushels, or about 330 mil- lions less than the preceding year. In going OVel' 'the statistics presented by the department ,it is apparent that there are two countries which will rapidly increase their wheat ex- ports, viz.. Argentina and Canada, while ‘to all appearance the Asiatic export will not increase much over present figures. It will require a world’s total yield in the vicinity oi 3,500,000,000 bushels before prices fall back to normal conditions.

While the acreage continued to increase the yield diminished during the next three years, until in 1902 a crop was pro- duced exceeding that of 1907 by near- ly 20 million bushels. Again, while the acreage under crop in 48 coun- tries shows an increase ranging from 20 to 30 per cent. during the past 8 years, the total yield per acre shows a decrease of from 5 to 20 per cent.

(Convolvulus major). To obtain the best results, the seed must be sown fairly early in spring, say from the middle to the end of March. The Janapese morning glory (Ipomaea im- perialis), is larger than the ordinary kind and more brilliantly colored. The cypress vine (Ipomaea Quamoclit.) and the moon flower (Ipomaea grandi- flora) also are good annual climbers. The best position for all these kinds is an eastern aspect or a place where they will not be exposed to the hot noon-day sun. Both the plain and variegated types of Japanese hop are very pretty climbers. They grow rapidly. Sow the seed towards the end of May and when the plants are large enough. thin them out. When the new seeds form on the vines. pinch them of! or they will spoil the fine eflect that is desired. TOOK A PARALYTIC STROKE AF TER SUPPERâ€"REMAINS!)
