ATTORNEY-GENER SCOTT.
beinx made to any one Of rne Jurors, she
was tried. and convicted CT murder in
the first degree.
Major Scott then referred to the record
as now before the Supr, ne Court. and
asserted that the various mintary orders
and affidayits which were contained In II
wee clearly not entitled to appear there.
lie took the two points Of alleged error
r,.sed by Judge Flournoy. that the jury
YVES not selected from men fres froIn
exceptions, and that ssparate venire
faciases were not issued for the prisoners,
and. In answering them. N brief. as
serted that simple error or tso IN
the record was not sufficient to cause
the Supreme Court Of Appeals to declare
the trial a mistriai.
The Attorney General discussed the
question of a change OF venue. and as
serted that in the case OF Pokey Barnes
no change Of venue could aave been
granted, as u jury free from exceptions
was obtained In Lunenburg county with
out even having to go beyond Its bor-
ders. as permitted by law to secure jury
men.
Referring to Judge Fyournoy's state
ment as 10 presumption. Major Scott said
that the Supreme Court would naturally
presume that the trial judge had done
everything essential to be done In the
trial. both In the interests Of the Com
monweaith and pisoners. and that the re-
.ord was unquestionably true.
JUDGE ORGAIN's INSTRUCTION.
Major Scott read the instructions OF
Judge ORGAN 10 the jury In the trial Of
Pokey barnes, and commenting on them,
urred that they were clear. succinct. and
IN every point in conformity with the law.
He then read the record. commenting ~
he proceeded; after which he asserted that
Judge Orgsin clearly had the power to
amend the record and make II speak the
truth. ''If." he said. he only wanted to
interIins some few words. he was not en-
titled 70 Do 70 after the close pf the term.

The Curfew Bell.

There is to be revival of the curfew
in Canada and il it prove successful in
the cities and towns Of that dominion it
is not unlikely that it may be used in
some parts of the United States, writes
John Gilmer Speed, in the Ladies' Home
journal. The law which has been en-
acted by the legislatures of Quebec and
Ontario was drafted by the Society for
the Protection of Women and Children
and provides that the municipal councils
in cities, towns and incorporated villa.
ges shall have the power to pass bylaws
for the regulation of the time after which
children shall not be in the streets at
nightfall without proper guardianship.
The law also provides that these coun-
ellis shall cause bell to be rung at or
near the time appointed, as warning,
to be called the curfew bell. after which
the children so required to be at their
homes or off the streets shall be liable
to be warned by any constable or police
officer to go home.-Neao York CONNER

The Reign of Peace.

Beasts, l am inclined to think, are
still, more or less, in the state of para
disc and peace. have been lately hon.
ored by the acquaintance of cat which
lives on friendly and playful terms with
a mouse, not a tame pet mouse. They
frolic together, and then the mouse re-
turns to its hole. Again, friend of
mine who had several dogs, two young
handles and an old Skye, lately went
out to the edge of wood near his house
where he saw his dogs playing with a
fox.
They sported together playfully till
the old Skye got wind of the fox and
then went for him. with yowl, where
upon the poor fox fed. The young dogs
seemed to cherish no unfriendly feel
ings till the veteran set bad example.
Dogs and cats are not natural enemies.
1t is we who have corrupted them, and
"a cat and dog life" is even still, often
of good example to married people

How a Plant Has Travelled.

Less than 125 years ago the little plant
known to the botanists as Lepachy's
Columnaris was only known to inhabit a
small section of country in the very
southern portion of Louisiana. Some
time later it was reported as occurring
sparingly along the Canadian River;
and, later still, on the Arkansas. Since
that time it has slowly spread North,
West and East. even to the very source
of the Missouri, over into the British
possessions, and is now said to be creep
ing along the Saskatchewan towards
Hudson Bay. How plant which origi-
mated in warm climate could accustom
itself to such changes is another of ma
lures mysteries.-St. Louis Republic.

HER MAJESTY.

Her Majesty comes when the sun goes down.
And chambers up to her throne. my knee;
Her royal robe is small. white gown,
And this is her Majesty's stern decree:
"Let me know when the sandman passes by.
For we're going to speak to him, you and l. :"
"There once was monarch of old" say,
"Who sat where the beach and the breakers
met.
u'Roll backr he said to the waves one day.
For the royal feet must not be wetP
But the waves rolled on. For things there be-"
1 tell her. that mind not majesty"
"And silent and shy is the sandman old
And never. I'm sure since the world began,
Has any one seen the sands of gold.
Or spoken a word to the kind old man;
But perhaps, when the twilights gold turns
gray,
You may see the old sandman pass this way.
''For your Majesty's eyes are young and bright.
Though mine with the dust of time are dim
And possibly Queens have clearer sight
Than subjects who sway to sovereign's
whim
But III watch for him, sweetheart and Queen"
I say.
"And speak if see him pass this way"
But the sandman came! for the young eyes
dropped.
And the small mouth curved in drowsy
smile,
Then down to her Majestys lips stopped.
Add kissed her, and whispered prayer the
while;
80 thou that gveth thy loved ones sleep
This night her Majesty safely kept"

You sell your scrub chickens at your
grocer's for 81 dozen; your neighbor
takes in his Plymouth Rocks of the same
age, and gets twice the price, and that
twice as readily. Aare you still going to
continue raising scrubs? What stronger
hint to prosperity can you demand? Do
not even follow your old plan of exchang.
ing ROSTERS with neighbor, or trading
settings of eggs. but adopt some good
breed out and out. and then you will

any gladness in a good
fortune which only came to himself.
Poor Pete-the luck was against him.
Pete never was strong, never able to
hold his own in the dire struggle for
life-oa life which many would con-
slider not worth the struggle-which
must be made by the hapless poor of
the cities.
And then he had met with that
run over, had had no care after it,
and was now crippled. Yes, in all
Jake's anticipations of pleasure in the
jaunt into the country with its un-
known wonders and delights, the
pitiful face of Pete arose to sadden
him.
"I've hear'n there's lots O. places in
the country where they're good to
boys" he went on to the older boy
with whom he had been discussing
the prospective journey. why can't
all go that wants ter?"
"Cause, don't you see, it costs
money to get 'em out there, Two
dollars and fifty cents for every one.
And the Fresh Air folks amt got
only jest so much money, SO they
can't only send jest SO many boys"
Two dollars and fifty cents. That
settled it.
Then Jake Matched up a bright
scheme. Pete should go in his place.
Of course the Fresh Air folks would
not mind. For that matter they
needn't know, not being personally
acquainted with..either Pete or Jake.
The exchange could be made without
saying word to any one.
But this fell through. Pete fatty
refused to go in Jake's place.
"I'll never speak to you again if
you don't-not the longest day l
live" declared Jake, when he had ex-
hausted all his persuasions.
Even this did not move Pete, and
Jake started away, as a beginning of
the fulfillment of his dreadful threat
But after clustering stride to the
next corner he turned. Just as he
knew he should be was he drawn by
thesight of Pete's reproachful appeal.
"You knowed | couldn't leave you
SO, didn't yous" said Jake, back to
his side in minute. SWELL" with a
sigh of accepted helplessness, swell
have to see what can be did for you,
Pete"
And through all the novelty of the
Journey and the delight in the new,
strange things Pete's pale face kept
him company, and the thought OF
Pete lay as weight at the bottom OF
his heart.
Jake found himself the guest of a
farmers family, consisting of several
grown people, each one of whom gave
him cordial welcome, and then left
him to himself-all except a genial
maid of all-work called Maria, with
whom Jake found himself on such
friendly terms as to feel emboldened
to unburden his heart concerning Pete
"But," said Maria, 81 don't think
the Fresh Air folks is goin' to send
out any more childen this year. It's
late in the season, and l heard 'em
say this was most the last lot"
"Then," said Jake, with choke in
his voice, "Pete won't never get to go
If you'd seen them white cheeks o
his you'd say he'd-never be there nc
more-next year."
"Well, we'll, nowl" said Maria, il
quick sympathy, "don't you go tC
