TESTIMONY EoR THE DEFENSE.
The witnesses for the defense testified
that Charley Shorter went to the house Of
John Ward about eight or nine o'clock and
asked for Ben Ward and upon being told
where Ben Ward was he Went to him, and
in short time difficulty occurred between
Charley Shorter and Dick Bryant; Shorter
was struck with weight. John Ward and
his wife furnished lin with water and Il
towel to wash the blood from his face
Shortly after Henry Shorter came on the
premises, and was wild with anger, using
all kinds Of oaths and insulting epithetS.
Ward, who was just recovering from a spell
of fever, went out to him and begged that
he 90 home. He went of, but soon came
back with his brother Charley and Doc Dy-
son. This time he also had gun, and was
more insulting than he was at first, not on
" cursing Ward and his wife, but cursing
with the vilest language imaginable the
dead father and mother Of John Ward.
They also said tnat they proposed to kill
two of the Wards and had the money to pay
for it, and lefed the Wards to come out to
fight them. This cursing was done in front
of Wards house, in the hearing OF his wife
and daughters. Ward and his wife begged
that they would SO home and leave them
alone, as they had q very i'll child in the
house, ard the loud talking kept it awake
and nervous. The only reply that they
would get from the Shorters was i volley OF
the tilthiest kind of oaths.
Down the road they went again and yell
ed TOR the Wards to so to them to fight
They trampled the cotton in the fields and
vent on like maniacS. Seeing that the
Wards woull not so to them they went back
to the house and repeated their former bit
ter deruu ueiutions and threatened to kill the
first man, woman, or child, that would APP
pear in the door way.

Ward then got his gun and shot. He said
that he did not know what moment the par
ties would fire into his house. and that he
fired the gun, not with the intention of kill
ing any one, but with the hope that II
would trighten them away, so that he and

John a. Ward was next tried on the charge
of murder for the killing Of Henry w.
Shorter. The case was commenced Wednes-
day afternoon and concluded Thursday
night Throughout tue entire hearing Of
this case the court room was crowded with
spectators listening to the testimony. 1t
was clearly evident that public sentiment
was in favor of the prisoner.

Growth of Brains.

In the inferior races the head ceas-
es to grow after 20 years of age. In
the superior races the head of the in
telligent and educated man increases
in volume until 50, 40 and 40 years.
The skull has reached its maximum
development when the bones compos-
ing it are welded together so as to
render the sutures invisible. Once
the sutures are solidifed, the future
growth of the brain is impossible,
which is said to explain the insur-
mountable difficulty experienced in
trying to teach illiterate adults.
The qualification varies according
to the investigation activity of the
brain. 1t takes place between the
ages of 22 and % years in the task
worker, between % and 80 in the
middle class manuel professions, and
after 80 in educated persons who
practice intellectual professions. Re-
cent experiments in the female col
lege of Russia prove that women's
head, though naturally smaller than
mans, is similar developments under
educational treatment. The skulls
of great thinkers grow throughout
life.

The Railroad Pass.

Did you ever note the contrast, conductors take
take the fare,
Between the different tickets that the passengers
do bear;
The poor man and the widow pay the most the
charge can be,
While the millionaire and railroad king always have
their rides scot free.
The poor man with his children, and the widow,
poor and wan,
They pay full price-the highest price-with all the
tariff on;
The clergyman, well clad in black, pays half, and
well he may;
While the richest OF the richest always passes with
out pay.
The poor man earns his dollar for every day he
works,
The clergyman his thirty more for each six days he
shirks;
The former pays his full fare, the latter pays his
half,
While the millionaire pays for his ride with just
hearty laugh.
The widow keeps herself alive with six long days of
work,
The drummer he grows fat and sleek with either
work or shirk;
The former pays the highest rate the latter special
brass,
While the millionaire and railroad king, they ride
upon pass.
On the railroad that is sweeping tro this world,
towards the next,
The same distinction you will fnd-'twil make you
quite perplexed.
The very people who deserve and need the most
pay most,
While the very ones who best can pay of passes al
ways boast.
But when reach the station on the last stage OF
the route,
And when the train of life stops short, and passen
gers get out,
They'll give the passes thrO the gates to those who
always pay,
While the millionaire and drummer will have to
work their way Exchange.

The frontal sutures of Pascal,
Rousseau and others who lived to a
ripe old age were found open. Com
parison of the individual skulls of
different races discloses the singular
and important fact that in the inferior
beings the qualification of the sutures
begins in the frontal, intellectual, re-
gion of the brain, and terminates
in the occipital, or animal. In the
case of the civilized man, on the con-
trary, the qualification, beginning
much later in life, starts in the oc-
cipital, passes to the parietal bone,
and thence to the frontal, thus CIV
ing to the last moment the fullest
scope to the superior functions.

Elaine Goodale's Account of the
Fight at Wounded Knee.

Miss Elaine Goodale, supervisor of
education at the Pine Ridge agency,
has made a report to the Indian Of
flee at Washington in which she gives
her version of the battle at Wounded
Knee, gathered from Indian prisoners
who were engaged in it, half-breeds
who were present, and from parties
who visited the battlefield several
days after the encounter. She says:
'EThe testimony of the survivors of
Big Foot's band is unanimous on one
important point, namely, that the In
dams did not deliberately plan re-
sistance. The party was not a war
party, according to their statements
(Which l believe to be true), but a
party intending 10 visit the agency
at the invitation of Red Cloud. When
they met the troops they anticipated
no trouble. The demand for their
arms was a great surprise to the In
dians, but the great majority of them
chose to submit quietly. The whole
trouble arose from the foolish or
reckless act of one young man, who
is described by the Indians as good
for-nothing young fellow, who fired
single shot. This called forth
volley from the troops, and the firing
and confusion became general"
Miss Goodale does not credit the
statement that women carried arms
and participated in the fight. The
weight of testimony, she says, is
overwhelmingly against this suppo-
sition. There may have been one
or two isolated cases of this kind,
but there is no doubt that the major
ity of the women and children, as
well as many unarmed men and
youths, had no thought of anything
but flight. ''They were pursued up
the ravines and shot down indiscrim
inately by the soldiers" Miss Good
ale says in conclusion: cit is re-
ported that one of the officers called
out Don't shoot the squaws,' but
the men were doubtless too much eX-
cited to obey. The killing of the
women and children was in part un-
avoidable, owing to the confusion,
but 1 think there is no doubt that it
was in many cases deliberate and in
territorial. The 9TH cavalry, Clusters
old command, had an old grudge to
repay

The Power of the White Ribbon.

DEAR UNION. SIGNAL Mr.. B. E.
Sherwin, reformed man, now study
ing for the ministry at Evanston, re-
Gently spoke before the gospel meet
ing held there every Sunday by the
w. c. L. U. In the course of his
remarks he paid a warm tribute to
the white ribbon. After admitting
he knew but little about temperance
work, he said, "There is one thing |
do know about, and that is, the
marvellous power of the white ribbon.
You women do not begin to know
what power there is in that little knot
of white ribbon" He then related how
he was travelling in stage on the
Pacific coast last spring, just after
his conversion, fighting within him
self that battle, which only the vic
Tins of appetite know. A party of
rough men were in the front part of
the stage, acting uproarously. Fl
nally one pulled out bottle which
began to pass from one to another.
81 began to pray" said Mr.. Sherwin,
"oh, so earnestly that if they asked
me, [ should have strength enough to
say No. Just as they were about
to hand it to me, the stage stopped
and little woman with a while rib
bon on got in. Oh, [ cannot tell you
the help and comfort that little ribbon
was to me. AS the men began to
swear, she stood up and said, My
friends, if you have any respect for
your mothers or sisters or wives,
don't do that. Or, if you have no
respect for them, have some respect
for this white ribbon that l wear
The little woman was respected,
the badge wrought its mission, and
the men were quiet and respectful till
the stage reached Seattle, and the
lady told Mr.. Sherwin a few days
afterward that one of the men was
converted a day or two later
Mr.. Sherwin also told how he heard
a man, owner of brewery and fifteen
saloons, say last spring in hotel in
Seattle, "I'm going to sell off my
property and get out of this business
just as fast as [ can. The women of
the w. G. L. L. are going to ruin our
business, and I'm going to get out
before they do it,
The young man to whom he was
talking said, "Oh, l guess they won't
do you much HARM"
Charm !" said the other, "you
don't know anything about it. | tell
you they are going to ruin US and I'm
going to get out honorabIy, and not
be driven out by those women" ap-
plying a very undesirable epithet.
Sisters, if we are sometimes faint
hearted, let us remember these testi-
monies, and go on with that conse-
Grated "Do-everything policy which
has already accomplished such grand
results, and under God, is to be as
the leaven, hid in the meal, till the
whole is Ieavened. l, for one,
one of the greatest of sinners in this
respect, am resolved henceforth to be
more mindful of NV white ribbon
when | wear my "other dress" or
cloak.

Lazy.

1t is strange how many country
men who have particular trade pre-
fer to 60 without work, and conse-
quently without money rather thar
do any "job'' which they consider q
little beneath them. II costs so little
to live that few weeks, more or less.
of idleness seem to make no differ
ence to these high spirited workmen.
A lady who had summer home in
little town in Northern New Hamp-
shire found the greatest difficulty in
getting anybody to do todd jobs
about the premises.
Why, l never can tell, she confded
to a friend, whether they will be will
ing to do what l ask, or whether
they'll consider that I've insulted
them.
She had a near neighbor whose
husband was a ne'er do well" He
was carpenter by trade, but had
long ago ceased to exercise his profci-
ency in that direction, owing perhaps,
to lack of demand for his work.
He was quite happy, apparently, to
sit on his side porch most of the day
smoking a pipe, though occasionally
he did d little hoeing.
There was half dilapidated arbor
on the city woman's place, which, af-
ter unsuccessful attempts to cover it
with vines she decided to have pulled
down. Seeing Mr.. /, the car
penter, seated with his pipe, as usu-
al, she plucked up courage to step
across the road to proffer her request
Before she reached the house the
man had vanished, but his wife an
swered her knock.
Well, l don't know as he'd feel
like dom it, she said doubtfully, in
answer to the question whether Mr..
would be willing to come over
and pull down the arbor, if he wasn't
busy that morning.
I'll GO and see, she added. Per-
haps he might.
In moment she came back and
said with some irmness, "No'm, he
says he can't do it. 1t amt in his
line, he says and he don't feel that
he can spare the time to be dom
things like that"

Why we are White.

Did you ever think of the different
colored people in the world? There
are many shades of color, from the
almost pure white exemplified in the
albino, to the intense black, found
in the wilds of Africa.
A layer of cells, placed beneath
the epidermis-outer skin-all over
the body, withdraws a coloring mat
from the blood. These cells become
filled with this coloring matter, and
are called pigment, which means
color.
The albino does not possess these
cells, hence he is white, without color.
The degree of color is due to the
number of color cells present in the
skin.
Different parts of the body possess
different degrees of color, the hair
and the eyes having color of their
own. Through some form of sick
ness or debility of the system, an alb
normal spot may form, giving a pc
culiar appearance to that part of the
body. In these cases the red blood
cells disintegrate or break down at
some place near the surface, leaving
a dark discoloration.
Degrees of color are caused more
or less by exposure to the sun and
weather. Climate, hot or cold, also
plays an important part in darkening,
the color OF the skin.
A PERSONS skin may be improved
in gloss and fneness by the judicious
use of soaps and oils, just as piece
of metal is kept in polish and smooth
ness by rubbing and Furnishing.

Window-pane Pictures.

From eve till dawn, the long night through,
Cold winters elfn band
Such pictures drew
AS never grew
Beneath the touch of human hand.
In dawn's dim light they family CLEANED
On frozen panes, and glimpses seemed
To give of fairy land.
The boughs of great old trees were bent
With silver sheen; and forth was sent
A frosty light from distant height,
Where glitt'ring spires appeared to sight,
And fiIr-off castle wall.
Now here at hand, like silver strand,
Hanging in mid-air fairly,

Cleaning before US airily.
A stream flowed down the mountains side,
And cast a silvery spray,
Then dashing on with leap and slide,
With graceful bound and easy glide
1t reached the boulders gray,
And in deep gorges swept away.
Now DER the cold, gray landscape came
A wavering light, Il pale rose tinge
That touched the leaves and moses fringe,
Then slowly grew the ruby flame
Setting the distant peaks aglow,
Melting from frozen heights their snow.
So fairy-land now fades away,
And we may watch in vain.
Our frostmade pictures melt from sight
The drops roll down the pane

INA SICK-ROOM.-Sick people don t
like to be stared at. They are sensi-
tive, morbidly so. Looking as if you
were surprised at the change sickness
has wrought is annoying, and worse
than that it is disheartening; and
they imagine their case TO be worse
than it is.
Therefore, don't stare at sick
person.
And don't stand at the back OF the
head of the bed, to make him turn
his eyes around to see you.
George Mcdonald don't believe in
standing before sick person; he
makes his vicar in "a Seaboard
Parish" say that he always sits by
the bedside, "for the patient feels
more at rest than if you stand up
tall before him."
And, don't whisper in the room,
don't talk in low voice, don't follow
the doctor or a caller into the next
room. The invalid will be absolute
ly certain that you are discussing
him.
And, don't wear garments that
rustic, or rough cloth to come in con-
tact with the soft hands made ten
der by sickness; and don't wear
squeaking shoes or thick soled shoes.
CURE FOR CRoUP.-Use DR.. Thomas Electric
Oil according TO directions. 1t is the best remedy
for all sudden attacks of colds, pain and infamma
ton, and injuries.
