tions.
The arguments began abont 3p. M.
Mr.. Cort opening for the defense and
Mr.. Won Tobel for the prosecution.
The addresses We're i'm both instances
stronger than those delivered by the
same gentlemen at the former trial
and treated the testimony exhaus-
lively from the different standpoints.
Mr.. COrt made a strong appeal to
the sentiment of the jurymen. The
force of Mr.. Won TObel's was evidently
worrisOme tn the attorneys for the
defense as they interrupted the
speaker frequently until reprimanded
by the court. At the evening session
Mr.. Huntoon closed for the the pris-
oner and County Attorney Smith for
the state, the court room being
crs .wded to it's utmost capacity.
The former did not indulge i'm ora
tory but made a distinctively argyll
mentative address. dwelling particu-
larly on the breaking down of the
medical witness, DIR. Monahan, and
attacking the reliability of witnesses
for the state, Il. l.. Burke coming i'm
for a. most severe roasting. Mr..
Smith made an excellent address,
much more forcible than ut the first
trial. and undoubtedly Influenced the
jury to considerable extent. The
long chain of strong circumstantial
evidence was linked and the good
character of the states witnesses
impressed upon the Jury. A long re-
view of the testimony and an appeal
for justice on behalf of the silent
witness concluded the case.
The charge was much the same as
ut the former trial and gave every
possible advantage to the prisoner
which law and justice could allow.
The jury was instructed that they
could find the prisoner guilty of
murder in the first or second degree,
the following being the definition of
the two degrees as laid down by the
court. IF all four of the ingredients
of williulness. premeditatiOn, delib-
Grafton and malice afOrethought

but if any of them he wanting except

THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don'
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes ohoked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do II. IL also
regulates the Liver-keeps il properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea OF the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER RECu-
iATOR. You'll find the RED L on every
package. Look for it.

The Bugle ON Men.of.War.

Many Of you know what an important
part the bugle plays in military opera
tons on shore; how it assemblies vast
bodies of men, deploys them for battle,
regulates their fire, and sounds the
charge which even dumb animals I'M
derstand and obey, in a desperate rush
for victory. The voice Of the COM
mander gives the order; but since his
voice can reach only those ear him,
the bugle takes 1t up, and carries it IN
piercing notes to the most distant ear.
So, too, on board of a man-of-war the
bugle Is used to make an order pene-
trate the uttermost parts Of the ship
from deck to hold, from stem to stern,
and from quarterback to masthead.
From morning till night it Is calling
officers and men to routine duties, and
IN battle it is directing nearly every
movement and inspiring them to their
utmost endeavor.-St. Nicholas.

peared. The sores grew larger and each
morning when he entered the stable he
noted new and large ones, some as large

from them. Monday it was discovered
that rats were the cause OF the misfor-;
tune. The rats had become 90 starved

When he was calmer, he picked the
letter mp again and read It through once
more, having carefully locked the door
before ne did 20, for he did not wish his
valet to see his emotion.
But the ~re-reading Of It brought him no

anguish.
When the man servant knocked 1t his
door he babe him 60 away for q time, al
he was engaged and could not be dis.
turbed: and then he passed an hour pac-
Ing up and down the room, muttering to
himself, starting at the slightest sound,
n nearly mad with his thoughts.
These thoughts he could not collect,
he did not know what steps to take next.
What was he to tell Ida or Sir Paul-or
was he to tell them anything?
The dead man, the murdered brother,
had enjoined on him, in what he could
not have known was to be a dying re-
quest, that he was to keep the secret.
Why, then, then should he say anything?
There was nc need to do so! He wal
Lord Penlyn now, there was nothing to
tell! No one but Philip, who was trust
worthy. knew that he had ever been any
thing else. No n would ever know 1t.
And he ~shuddered as he thought that, il
the world did ever know that Walter
Cundall had been his brother, Their the
world would believe him to be his muir
derer! No! it must never be known that
he and that other were Of the same blood.
He rang for his man and told him to
pack up and pay the bill, and take his
things round to Occleve House, and that
he should arrive there late; and the man
seemed surprised at his orders.
He was a quiet, discreet man, but as
he packed his masters p~ortmanteau he
reflected a good deal on the occurrences
Of the past few days.
First Of all, he remembered the visit Of
Mr.. Cundall on Saturday to Occleve
House. and that the footman had told him
that he had heard some excited converse
ton going on as he had passed the room.
Was there any connecting link between
Mr.. Cundall's visit to his master, and his
master leaving the house and giving up
Ascot?
And was there any connection between
all this and the murder Of Mr.. Cundall,
and the visible agitation of Lord Penlyn2
He could not believe it, but still it did
seem strange that this visit of Mr.. Cum
dalrs should have been followed by such
IN alteration Of his masters plans, and
by his own horrible death.
Lord Penlyn walked on to Pail Mall,
going very slowly and in an almost dazed
state, and surprised several whom he
met by his behavior to them.
Looking very wan and miserable, he
walked on to Blacks" and there he
found the murder as much a subject Of
discussion as it was everywhere else.

THE CHANCE PASSAGE
It Failed to Support the Scotchman
In HE Practice.

1t Failed to Support the ScOtchman
In His Practice.
An old Scotchman had a roommate
In New York who was not fond OF early
rising, and never stirred from his bed
until the breakfast bell rang. The old
er man considered 1t his duty to warn
the young man against the effects Of
Incidence, and at the same to impart
religious instruction to him.
Every morning the Scotchman arose
at six o'clock, shaved himself, and when
completely dressed shook his young
friend and addressed him In this man.
ner:
Nov, lad, you see what 1t is to gain
time. Here I am, dressed and ready
for breakfast, with half an hour. in
which to read q chapter In the Bible
and to commit a verse to memory,
which may serve a useful purpose dur
Ing the day. Now I shall open the good
book at random, and read any verse
on which my eye chances to light; and
I think 1t probable that the verse will
have some special application for the
events of the day. Meanwhile, there
you are, with barely enough time to
dress orbreakfast, and not a minute to
spare for good reflections"
For a week or more this address was
repeated every morning with little vari-
alton, and the chance passage read
aloud. Then the young man gave the
Scotchman a dose Of his own medicine.
It was a cold morning, when the
~Scotchman, wearied by late hours the
previous night, oversight. The younger
roommate arose softly, dressed himself
quickly and aroused him.
Here I am" began the convert to the
new gospel Of early rising, Gin complete
order for breakfast and ready to turn
to a verse in the good book which may
serve me a useful turn during the day."

bling his hands.

man. without a smile on his face, ''bhat
ones hands may be directed by some.
thing that Is not blind chance to a verse
which may be highly significant"
Certainly" said the Scotchman,
pleased to perceive that his lesson had
been aptly learned by the pupil. "Open
the book and read the first passage
which your eye catches"
The young a opened the book, and
without a pause or a smile read the fol-
lowing verse from Proverbs:
HE that blesseth his friend with q
lond voice. rising early in the morning.
1t shall be counted a curse to him."
The serious Scotchman was taken
back 10 completely by the sentiment
that he demanded the book and had to
read the verse through his spectacles
before he could believe that his COM
panion was not deceiving him.
"Well, lad he remarked gravely, Il
suppose It was meant for my benefit.
I'll let you sleep another morning"
