SOME ECONOMY HINTS.
Certain Practical Suggestions TO he Car
ried Out in Everyday Life.

Certain Practical Suggestions TO BE Car
ried Out i'm Everyday Life.
Save yc'ir time by learning to do
the right thing at the right time, and
in the best, easiest and shortest way
possible. Save your strength in the
same way and also by using labor-sav-
ing machines. Take at least few
minutes rest when you are too tired to
do your work well, for not to do work
right is waste of time and strength
Make it pleasure for the children to
help mother" instead of duty which
they think is more than should be ex-
pected of them.
save your patience. You may need
it some time when greater ten the
present trials surround you, and if you
keep loselg it in part every day you
can never get it together again. If
you save your time and strength much
of your patience will be stored up for
future use-will power must do the
rest.
Save your breath; don't seold. You
may die for want of breath sooner if
you scold than you might otherwise.
Save the love of your little ones and
the sunshine they bring into your
home. Some day your life win be dark
when this sunshine has entered the
home above. Soms day their love may
go out to some one beside You.
Save food by cooking just enough
and no more, by avoiding rich pastry,
cakes, etc, and choosing only that
which is wholesome. Utilize cold vict-
uals by making appetizing dishes
whose origin is disguised.
Save clothing not by merely buying
the lowest in price, but the most dura-
BILE and best looking that your purse
will allow. Higher priced goods some
times in fact, generally, prove to be
the cheapest in the end, as they will
look well if made over several times
Save furniture by buying that which
will stand long and hard usage, and
depend on your artistic talents to
brighten and ornament it. Let your
first thought in buying furniture be:
First, comfort; second, use; third, du-
rability, and last. style.
Save money. One who saves time,
strength, patience, love, food, cloth
ing. and furniture generally has the
knack of saving money, but as there
are as many ways of saving money as
there are ways of making money it is
useless to attempt to tell them here.

THE GING MURDER.
The Trial of Harry Hayward is On
at Minneapolis.
The state Establishes the Murder and In
Produces Blixt, the Accomplish, Who
Tells Isis Part in the
Eioody Deed.

The evidence in the Hayward trial
reached the summit of gastliness the
4th. Human skulls, cross sectioned,
and intact, were very much in evidence
throughout the day. They were used
as illustrations in the course of cram
ial anatomy IN which the jurors were
instructed. BY means of them the
twelve men were shown the general
bone structure of the human head, the
course taken by the bullet that killed
Catherine Cling and the nature and ex-
tent of the fractures ON the sides of the
murdered woman's head. With them,
too, the effects OF blows and fractures
in general were explained at length.
The learned counsel for the defense
did not content himself with direct
fractures, but went deeply into the
possibilities of contre coups and the
effects upon the skull and the brain of
blows given directly aud obliquely.
The object of it all was this: The
state seeks to prove that the death of
Catherine Cling was caused by the
bullet fired from the revolver held by
Claus BliXt. The state obtaining that
statement from the witnesses without
difficulty, is not prone to push the anat-
omical investigation very far until the
defense by so doing forces the state to
follow suit. The defense probes deep
ly into the matters anatomical because
it is seeking to show that the two
fractures on the front of the skull of
the murdered woman were made by a
heavy instrument, the ''I'' rail, be-
fore the shot tt penetrated her brain
was fired. The'Gefense admits that the
shot through the brain was necessarily
fatal, but ii 4 can be shown that death
or insensibiiity was caused by the
blows which produced the fractures,
BliXt's confession and testimony MAX
ing no allusion to the use of an weapon
but the revolver, will be discredited in
the minds of The jury. Thus will be
opened way for the all important
reasonase doubt. To defeat the
efforts of the defense in this direction
the state endeavored to show by the
witnesses that the body falling from
the buggy might have resulted in the
fractures and injuries to the face.
The witnesses We're the eX-deputy
coroner, DIR, Louis A. Nippert; DR..
William Russell, who inspected the
body where it was found; Dr. Il. j.
Hin, who assisted DR.. Nippert in the
autopsy, and Harry Gilbert, an en-
ploye of Gooseman's livery stable.

penalty for such crime, according 10

in Jasper county and ostensibly trad
ing horses, making a speciality
of forcing lonely passengers on
the road to part with any
horse they chose, and generally
taking fine stock in exchange for
plugs. Remonstrance is useless
owing to the numbers and forinida BILE
