SOLILOOUY A LII
HAMLET.

To eat or not to eat, that is the conundrum
Whether It's better for the body to suffer
The pains and aches ofan overloaded stomach,
Or by partaking lightly of thanksgiving
dinner
Aid digestion? =? To cato sleep
No more and by a sleep to a say we end
The stomachache and thousand natural
shocks
That abdomens are heir to; It's q consum-
nation
Devoutly to be wished.
dream?
Aye, there's the rub;
For in that sleep from over-feeding
What dreams may come,
When we have partaken freely of turkey
And the trimmin's
Must give us pause that's the business
That makes us consider few things.
For who could bear to see some other fellow
Get the best pieces, the oysters or Pope's nose,
Not to mention the dressing Of sweet English
walnuts,
Or even inguns,
When he himself might these goodies take,
And get as drunk as a lord-with a bare
bottle?
Who would prctzels eat,
To grunt and sweat under weary life,
And drink plain water and swell,
But that the dread of the results,
The undiscovered thirstiness from whose
burn
Only cocktails can relieve, puzzles the will,
And makes us stick to plain turkey and
champagne,
Than fly to beer and bolognas that we know
of.
Thus appetite does make gourmands Of us all ;
And thus the native hue of resolution,
With a slim purse and no invitation to dim
ner,
Is knocked sky-high by square invite.
Soft you, now We hare one, and in thy
orSonS
BE all our sins remem bered.
Wen take turkey, if we die for it.

The former is young widow, and,
as described, has full, fresh face and
plump figure, and is the last person
one would pick out as railway mag

black bonnet perched well back upon
a head of brown hair which fell in
fluffy masses over her forehead and
was held in place by a thin veil. A
hammered-sllve necklace was the only
jewlery she wore.
Mrs. Turner, he adds. is an older
lady, in black scoop bonnet, floating

smoothly down each side of her high
forehead and then back. She has

tmony Of Applegate to where Rockwells horse and
wagon were tied at the time.
Thomas Bryant testified to having submitted his horse
and wagon to tho examination Of witnesses who will
probably be called by the State to show that such
could not have made the tracks which the State
have been made by Rockwell.
John Matthews said that he had measured the shoes
OF Byant horse and that he found them quite different
In size from those which had made the tracks in the
woods when the murder was Committed. He had also
measured the wagonres and had found that the wagon
tracked differently from from the wagon that took the
body away. Testimony offered by the State to show
that the wagon tracks were not by Bryant as was
stated by the defence Several witnesses also called
in contradiction OF Rockwells alibi witnesses
