PENDANT, Verdict for plaintiff 1926
The trial of Dr. w. E. Perry, accused of
a criminal assault upon Miss Rose Johnson,
began yesterday morning. Col. F. w.
Brown, States attorney, and Hon. w. R.
Alexander appear for the State, and Capt.
OCOl EC Ia Loii JNuAt L. -. A-uS'o N'N -
NJ. Mason, Jr., for the accused. At
former trial DR.. Perry was convicted and
sentenced to the peniteutiary for the term
of fourteen years. An appeal was taken to
the Court of Appeals and this new trial
granted The following gentlemen compose
the jury
Adam c. Moler, r. L. Wire, Thos j.
Shipway, Thos. Frazier, Jacob Merritt, M.
NJ. Moler, Geo. G. Whiting, Jas. w. Benner,
James w. Riley, John w. Childs, j. II.
Morris, r. l.. Donnelly.
1t is not improbable, as there are many
witnesses, and much of it to be expert testi-
mony, the trial of this case may consume
several days, and of course will attract a
large attendance. The ability of the law
yers engaged and the gravity of the offense
charged is guarntee of an able and earnest
prosecution and strong defence. The lib
erty, perhaps the life, of the prisoner is at
stake Judge, jury and attorneys yesterday
went to Halltown to view the scene of the
alleged crime.

A Magic Letter.

Did you ever think what a strange
letter S is? 1t is a serpent in dis
guise. Listen-you can hear it hiss. 1t
is the wizard of the alphabet. 1t gives
possession and multiplies indefinitely
by its touch. 1t changes tree into
trees and house into houses. Some
times it is very spitefu1 and will change
q pet into a pest, pear into a spear,
a word into sword, and laughter into
slaughter, and it will make hot shot at
any time. Farmers have to watch it
closely. It will make scorn Of his corn
and reduce every peck to speck.
Sometimes he finds 1t useful. If he
needs more room for his stock 1t will
change table into stable for him,
and il he is short Of hay he can set out
a row of tacks. It will turn them into
stacks. He must be careful, however,
not to let his nails he around loose.
The serpent's breath will turn them
into snails. If he wishes to use an en-
CINE about his farm work he need not
buy any coal or have water to run it.
Let the serpent glide before his horses.
The team will turn to steam. If ever
you get hurt call the serpent to your
aid. Instantly your pain will be in
Spain. Be sure to take it with you
the next time you climb mountain II
you desire to witness a marvel. 1t will
make the peak speak. But don't let it
come around while you are reading
now. It will make this tale stale.

OCEANS OF SOUP.
Enormous Yearly output of the Can
linn

Enormous Yearly Output of the Cam
ming Factories.
There Is enough canned soup sold
each year to float half hundred war
ships. At least, that is what a man
in the business of preparing the stuff
says, according to the New York Mail
and Express. He has been fifteen years
canning goods of all kinds and he says
that no branch Of the trade has made
such strides as the soup industry. Last
year was the most successful in hid
experience, he adds, and the chefs and
workmen in his factory worked on an
average Of eight hours day only.
This season promises to be q record
breaker, and for the last five months
the full force has been engaged on an
average of eleven hours day turning
out soup. Last year." he remarked,
in giving details Of the great industry,
1--WE canned 2,350,0OO gallons Of it. 1t
would be possible to food the entire
Erie canal with this quantity Of soup
turned out annually here and else
where. This year, judging by the way
we have started off, our output will be
over 100000 gallons. Canned soup
has become popular for various rea-
sons. In the first place, 1t can be pur-
chased cheaper than 1t is possible for
the housewife to make it. Then, again,
there Is no bother attached to its con-
sumption 1t needs no seasoning and
does not have to be cooked. All that
is required is to heat 1t. The cans are
prepared with the greatest Of care and
will stand any sort Of climate, whether
it be the torrid zone or the clustering
arctic There are, Of course, more than
one hundred kinds Of soup prepared at
our cannery. The most popular, how
ever, number about fourteen. They
are the oxtail, beef, chicken, mock tur-
tie, pea, tomato, green turtle, terrapin,
consomme, mulligatawney, maccaroni,
vermicelli, julienne and okra or gum
DO. The best materials are used in the
construction Of the soups and we have
some of the best Partisan chefs obtain
able, who prepare the stuff. We exer-
else as much care and regard for clean
illness at our factory as is observed
in any kitchen, private or public. All
our soups are put up in quart cans
which is sufficient to supply seven o.
eight persons. The soups vary in price
The average for the ordinary cans is
about 80 cents each. The more deli.
cate soups sell for 70 cents a quart"

There Is new story around Chica-

Peck, daughter of the late Harold Peck,
was paid for 1t, and now refuses to

The story is singularly lacking in veri-

honest. Moreover, the added detail that
Miss Peck gave the great painter 100"
sittings for the portrait at once shows
the imprObability of the whole matter,
as Whistler is known the world over
as the most rapid painter living, and
he never in his life gave half or quar-
ter that time to a portrait.
