WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O-The investigation
into the charges preferred against Post
master Wheat by Representative Enloe was
continued to-day aud large number of
witnesses examined. The most important
testimony was given by William E. Brad
ley.
Young Mr.. Wheat had come to his house
and asked him if he wanted to make some
money by being sworn in the place of a
man who was expected in few days. This
mans name was Denney. He was simply
to have his name on the roll, Wheat doing
the work. Wheat told him he would not
receive $5 for the trouble of being sworn in.
This was early in March, At the end of
March he drew something over $67 all of
which except $5 he turned over to Walter
Wheat
Another case was given when young
Wheat drew pay as an employe in the gov
ernmenJ printing office.

testified :hat CulbertsOn told him that he
had paid t. Mr.. Wheat over 800, and that

charges i'll the newspapers concerning Mr..
Wheat young Wheat had come to his (Cul-
bertson's) house, and on his knees had
begged him to take back the 500 and turn
it over to third party.
Walter Wheat, the pOstmasters son, then
took the stand. He testified that he did
most OF the work for which Bradley was
paid and was entitled to the money he re-
ceiYed.

The next evening when old Tobe went
to milk the blue cow he noticed that she
appeared to be nervous and disturbed
about something. He spoke to her gent.

her head he reminded her of the fact
that he had often beaten her from dis
position of skinned milk into willing
ness to give cream; but when he sat
down on his one-legged stool to strip the
milk from her reluctant udder, she
struck him on the head with her tail and
laid him out. Old Bill Morgan dropped
down behind neighboring log and
roared with laughter. That morning he

your mind that you are not going TO
fall into them. This girl. who is quite
too general to be pleasant, is the girl
who, having learned something yester-
day, knows everything. She makes
herself obnoxious by Haunting recently
acquired knowledge, concluding al
ways that the people who are quiet,
are ignorant; she has no hesitancy in
contradicting anybody; she makes an
entire luncheon dlsagreeable by giving
her opinion on the last pronunciations,
forgetting that custom makes many
things correct, of which the dictionary
has no mention.
She is more than certain as to dates;
she can tell you exactly what you
ought to do, and she fails herself TO see
that she is living example of how dis
agreeable one person can be. Young
men dread her, old ones have the ut
most contempt for her; she tosses her
head. SAYS she doesn't care for the
opinion of men. We'll, she is losing
her womanliness when she feels that
way. Every girl ought to care for the
opinion of men. She has her father to
look up to, her brothers to be all ;n-
spiration 10, and some day, please
God, she ought to marry one and make
him happy for life. The girl who
knows everything is seldom cultivated
either in mind or manner: she throws
out her bit of Information as a naughty
boy would throw bricks, and the one
fired is always the one just gotten.
My dear. don't get into the habit Of
concluding that the world at large is
ignorant. Instead make up your
mind that it can teach you much; in
telIigence is never lost. Even if absO-
lutte information is not given by the in
telligent woman, the look of cultiva-
ton shows in her eyes. Contradiction
and ignorance are the combination
that forms the knowing girl, and as
you love everything good and good
hammered, beware of drifting into be-
ing this type of girl.-Ladies' Home

BIRCHALL TO HANG.
Close of the Birchall Murder
Trial With a Verdict of
Guilty,
Birchall Sentenced to be
Hanged on the 14th of
November.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 30-At the con-
clusion of the testimony. in the Birchall
trial to-day Mr.. BlackstOck, for the defense,
spoke for five hours. He reflected on the
alleged reckless methods of the prosecution
and apparently careless manner in which
the witnesses Tor the crown seemed ready to
swear away mans life He closed with a
touching reference to the devotion of Mrs.
Birchall
Osler closed the case for the crown. He
reviewed the story in detail and analyzed
BircbalPs negotiations with Benwell into
one fact-a plan to entrap young Benwell
TO Canada on representations he knew
would be shown to be false the moment he
arrived in Canada. The motive
was to secure $500. He detailed
BirchalPs dealings with Pelly and
said the outcome of all this
fraud and deception could be but one thing
and that was Blenheim's swamp. Look
at it all as you read the correspondence;
read between the lines and you will see
there just the simple, awful word muir
DER" Mr.. Osler's address occupied four
hours and five minutes.
His lordship began his address at 7:38
and concluded at $50, after which the court
was cleared and the jury retired, and at
11:3O p. m. returned verdict of murder in
the first degree
The prisoner was brought into court
handcutfed, looking pale and nervous.
When asked if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon him
Birchall replied: Simply, 1 am not
guilty of murder"
The judge then said: II fully concur
with the verdict of the jury" and pro-
ceeded to pronounce sentence, which was
that Birchall be taken to the Jail and
between the hours OF a. M. and p. m. on
Friday, the 14th day of November, be
hanged by the neck until dead.

Summer Literary Poison,

Almost every one starting off for the
summer takes some reading matter.
1t is book out of the library. or off
the bookstand, or bought of the boy
hawking books through the cars. l
really believe there is more trash read
among the Intelligent classes in July
aud August, than in all the other ten
months of the year. Men and women,
who at home would not be satisfied
with book that was not really sensi-
BILE, find sitting on hotel piazzas, or
under the trees, reading books the in
deX of which would make them blush
if they knew that you knew what the
book was. Oh they say, ''you must
have intellectual recreation" Yes.
there is no need that YOU take along
into a watering-place "Hamilton's Met
aphysics," or some ponderous discourse
on the eternal DEGREES, or ''Faraday's
Philosophy" There are many easy
books that are good. You might as
we'll say, Il propose now to give lit
tie rest to my digestive organs and in
stead of eating heavy meat and vegeta-
bles, l will. for little while, take
lighter food-a little strychnine and
few grains of ratsbane." Literary
poison in August is as bad as literary
poison in December. Mark that. Do
not let the vermin of corrupt print
ing-press jump and crawl into your
Saratoga trunk or White Mountain

are easy to read-books of entertaining
travel; books of congenial history;
books of pure fun; books of poetry.
