 A few minutes later Dr. Cunning con- tradicted this statement and said:
 q did not quarrel with any members of my church in Boston. l resigned be- cause Mr. Ford told me. He said, Doc tor, resign. That is the easiest way to get out of it. '" What the 'it' was did not come out. Do you ever drink whiskey?" was asked.
 | Dr. Cunning turned red and hesitat- ed Then he said: 'Yes, I do drink a little occasionally, but" he added after a moment, .'only as a medicine" l "Oh, of course,' retorted Judge Ten ney; that's the way with all who take | it."
 You accused your wife of taking some silverware, didn't you, doctor?" 1 T did"
 Was it the silverware you bought for one Kitty Davis of Riverdale, N. J?"
 This was objected to and ruled out.
 "You know Kitty Davis of Riverdale, l don't you?"
 | "Yes. I know her" Just how we'll do you know her.
 Were you engaged to her Justice Van Wyck ruled out this. l These questions were asked in an in- very angry.
 You know a Nr-. Axwarthy, too, 2 Boston woman, don't you?' l Dr. Cunning said he was a dear friend and member of the same so- | ciety. The society, It was developed,
 was the American Protective league, in Boston. Dr. Gunnlng was president of l it and he said Bishop Harley was also member He described this crgani-
 zation as a ,brotherly insurance order. He stated he fell in love with Mrs. Gun ming because she was a fine singer She had a sweet voice and played the piano divinely,' he said. She also taught music to my children" He de- nied that he refused to take his wife out as she said.
 Why" he remarked, ''once took her for a walk around gas house and she 1 behaved horribly. She kept saying you 1 old fool, fool, fool, why don't you go back home' At length did" I The witness remembered the incident of the officials of the Brooklyn church compelling Harry to make a written re- l traction of some disgraceful remarks he | had made about a Miss Guerney, a
 member. ''But he did not beg forgive ness on his knees said the doctor. He amitted he left the church in Ny ack under difficulties, but denied that Harry had ever set fire to a barn there.

Is the size of an ordinary tree, and there
are numbers of them spreading out
latitudinously, with other branches on
these, shooting upward to the sun, the
foliage being all on top and very dense.
''The tree is of the variety known as
the California live oak, quercus wren;
it's leaves are small, fresh and crisp, and
of vitality unimpaired by years, and
they do not fall with the seasons.
at is said that no one has ever pet
seen leaf of the live oak unfold or fall.
'The outside form of the tree is beau

narrow Valenciennes lace. 1t hangs
over in a pretty, loose fashion, but so
that the lines of the figure are not hid

lace and white satin ribbon bows are
the trimmings.
Another graduating dress which is
much simpler is also of white organdie
trimmed with Valenciennes lace. The
body is made with round yoke and q
full ruffle trimmed with three rows OF
Valenciennes lace. The sleeves have
bands of the lace and the skirt is edged
with a ruffie trimmed with Valen-
ciennes. It is made with white lawn
skirt, but can be worn equally well over
any other color.
A white dotted Swiss which is ex-
ceedingly dressy is made up over white
taffeta. The seams are all marked
with insertion of Valenciennes lace,
which shows the sheen of the silk
through very prettily. The waist
is shirred on the shoulders and hangs
in blouse fashion over the belt, while
the sides and back fit more snugly. A
v-shaped piece of Valenciennts inser-
ton is let in at the throat under high
stock collar of ribbon, while the sleeves
are finished with ruff1es of Valenciennes.

Heavy Hats Injurious.

Heavy hats are condemned by the
doctors as a serious means of produc-
ing headaches, wrinlEled foreheads and
gray hair; but the seasons millinery
apparently ignores any of these good
reasons for the regulation of size and
weight in headgear, and hats are larger
and more heavily trimmed than ever.
"Picture-hat headache" is fashionable
complaint just at present. The use of
belladonna to beautify the eyes is said
to be a growing evil among women
whose vanity oversteps the bounds of
good sense, but if they persist in it's use
blindness is pretty sure to be the re-
suit. Bicycle dress has brought about
reformation for some women in skirts
for rainy days. They are worn short
enough to clear the ground by four or
five inches. For women who cannot
hold up their skirts neatly and at the
same time effectually this fashion is a
blessing.--Chicago Tribune.

JUSTICE FIELDS GREAT OAK

said to Be the Largest in California and
to Cover Several Acres.
Long before California became part
of American territory there existed in
the vicinity of Monterey, and there still
stands there after a half century Of oc-
cupation, wonderful specimen of the
live oak Indigenous to this state. 1t
was marvel to the Mexicans Of those
days, and was pointed out as one of
the curiosities Of the land to the few
visitors to the coast.
Among those to when the natural
wonder had been shown in the DAYS OF
Mexican domination was a young
passed midshiprnan of the United States
navy, whose ship had anchored in
Monterey bay. His name was Timothy
Beals Field, and he is now long since
dead. The midshipman belonged to a
family whose members have been dis
tinguished in science and business, in
the pulpit and in literature, at the bar
and on the bench of the supreme court.
He was so amazed by the sight of the
marvellous tree that he skctched it and
wrote an account of it to his father. a
clergyman residing among the Berk-
shire hills of Massachusetts. This incl
dent was long forgotten. 1t was only
last year, on the occasion of his visit to
California, that tine recollection came
to the mind of Justice Stephen j. Field.
A party was made up. The tree was
found It proved to be even more ex-
traordinary than as described by the
young midshipman to his father.
After exploring it's labyrinths. the
party returned to San Francisco. Soon
after Justice Field went east on his
official duties, and while there Mrs.
Field wrote an account of their visit to
the tree which reads:
Rounding the lagoon we saw ahead
of us large sandhill with a crown of
green, and as we passed the hamlet of
Seaside we learned that we were ap-
preaching our Mecca. A climb in the
sand and up few riclxety steps brought
us under the sheltering branches of the
largest tree so far known to Califor-
nians-not in height Though it's height
is great), but in its capacity to shelter
I remarked that thought 900 persons
could stand comfortably beside me, but

White maline draped over bright-col.

Brims are often cut at one or both
sides toward the back and blossoms al.

Two shades of nasturtiNm taffeta rib

very handsome trimming for blacl,

A Party of Students Tackled q Clown and

An interesting episode occurred the
other day at New Brunswick, N. j.,
when 100 or more Rutgers college
students attempted to run circus ac-
cording to their own ideas. They guyed
the clown and he demonstrated, where
upon they guyed him all the more. The.
rest of the audience wished to see the.
performance and Kissed the students,
but the latter persevered in their efforts
to stop the show. Finally the patience
Of every one was exhausted. "You look
like gentlemen" commented the clown.

women and children wild cheering)
who have paid to see this show?
(Cheers.) Have you no respect, have
you no mothers or sisters?" cloud
cries of: "No" from the students.) The
clown stopped in despair. Suddenly he
frightened up and yelled: "You needn't
think you can run this show, even il you
Go wear 60-cent pants" Then the au
Gience yelled and cheered. and the clown
encouraged by the support, continued:
"But don't be impatient, papa will send
your board money next week." The
students were quiet, but the rest of the
audience shouted: Bravo
Then the clown told story. 81 was
standing at the station last night" he
said, when a young man was struck by
locomotive. His arm was knocked off,
his leg twisted out of shape, his ribs
Knocked in, his head cut open and his
brains scattered along the track. The
doctor came, pasted the mans arm on,
strengthened his leg, mended his ribs
and closed the gap in his head. The
young man started off. Then the doc
tor discovered that he hadn't put the
mans brains in his head. He yelled for
him to come back, but the young mans
friends said it wasn't necessary to
bother about the brains, because he was
going to college at New Brunswick"
Everybody in the crowd cheered except
ing the students. They were as meek as
lambs, and during the remainder of the
evening made themselves conspicuous
by their quietness. Without an excep-
ton, 1t was the greatest "call down" the
students have ever had, and it is the talk
of the town to-day.-Troy Times.
