The case had been continued upward of
dozen times, and every effort made by the
defense to keep it from coming to trial, but

these attempts to defeat the ends of justice,
and persisted in demanding trial. The
prosecution had completed their case and
the defense put Colonel Jackson, w. p. Will
hanson, A. @. Weaver and the defendant
on the stand.
Zell claimed that he had transacted busi-
ness for DIR. Blood, the notorious gift enter
prise man, and had retained Colonel Jack
son as counsel, and had received money to
pay to jackson for his services. While Zell
had this money in his possession he found
that Mrs. Smith had bill against Jackson,
and agreed to attach the money then in his
own hands and collect the amount.
Colonel Jackson testified that he had no
knowledge that Zell had had any money
belonging to him at the time alleged, and
Zell had never paid him cent.

Hoover, claimed that no case had been
made out, but Judge Smell was of the OPP

Your Mission.

II you cannot on the ocean
Snil among the swlftest fleet;
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at the storms you meet;
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within tho bay,
You can lend hand to help them,
As they launch their boats away.
II you are too weak 10 journey
Up the mountains steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
II you have not gold and silver
Ever ready TO command,
IL you cannot toward the needy
Reach an over-open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Der the orring you can weep,
You can be true disciple,
Sitting at the Savlour's feet.
II you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true,
II where flro and smoke are thickest
There's no work for you to do,
When the battlefield Is silent,
You can go with silent tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not then stand Idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune Is lazy goddess,
She will never como to you;
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Donot fear to do or dare,
II you want a field of labor,
You can flnd 1t dnylChere.
