lie rode in this direction for some
/ time. The storm, which was at their
/ backs, did not seem much to these two,
| hardened to the parching wind of
summer and the freezing blast of win
! ter in that open country. The puncher
| rolled a cigarette or two. He noticed
that the cold was sharp on his fingers
when he ungloved, and it was with con
/ siderable difficulty that he kept his eyes
free from frost-but that would make
story to tell on the hot and dusty
| drive next summer. He passed a few
stray cattle, and with practiced eye
read the brands as coming from the
roundup he represented. Leaving the
stage road to the right, outlined by the
two high ridges of hard-packed snow
crunched by the wheels of the daily
stages, he bore down towards the Care
lass creek drainage. The hills looked
all the same in the driving storm, but
the wind was steady and gave him a
clew to direction. Suddenly there
doomed up in front of him what to the
uninitiated eye resembled houses with
outlines dimmed by the driving storm,
but the rider knew they were cattle. He
changed his course and rode up closer
to read the brands. They were covered
with frost, but he was satisfied that
these were the cattle he was after;
and, what was more, that there were
several hundred of them in this one
bunch. The best service he could rem
der his employers was to bunch this
outfit, turn them toward the Gap, and
take them back the next day before
they scattered.
The puncher's mind was strangely
dimmed. His thoughts would revert 20
days when, on the old Missouri farm in
the states, he lay at noon in the shade
of the haystack and ate the bountiful
lunch provided by mother and sisters.

NEW SORT OE FUNERAL.
Burial Service Is Read by Phono
graph.

Burial Service Is Read by a Phono-
graph.
The latest kind of funeral is one in
which the burial service is read by a
photograph. At Gravescnd, near Coney
Island. several funerals have been CON
Quoted by photograph recently. Cler-
gymen are very few and far between IN
that section. The undertaken of the
village saw that something had to be
done to supply the want Of a clergy
man, and, being man of inventive
genius, hit upon a photograph as be-
ing the best way of solving the prob
lena.
He persuaded a duly ordained min
lister to read the burial service into the
cylinder of a monograph, and also Sc
cared cylinders with appropriate
hymns and prayers. y huge trumpet
serves to intensity the sound and causes
the voice from the monograph to be
both loud and distinct When the
cotun has been laid beside the grave. the
photograph, which stands where the
minister ordinarily would be, is start
ed. and the ceremony begins.
First of all, a portion of the Scrip
lures is read, then a qUartette renders
the hymn Nearer, My God to Thee,
after which the Lords Prayer is re-
cited The photograph voice then
reads solcnnly the burial service. GonI-
initial of the dead is followed 10y an
other prayer. Another hymn is sung
and then the phonograph pronounces
the benediction. The effect is very sol
emn, for The far-away sound of the SON
orous voice seems somehow to intensi-
fy the meaning of the service.
No use, other than a religious one,
is ever permitted with the monograph,
and its big trumpet has never ground
out popular ballads. The undertaken
takes Il really serious view of the in
strument. and when not in use it is
kept alongside the family Bible, with
a decorous Grape band depending from
the riaring trumpet.
The inhabitants OF Gravesend have
become quite used to the phonograph
and say it is just the thing for them.
Some of the older villagers, who MAKE

As they rode along the fence, but a
few rods from the cabins and corrals,
they saw on the other side an animal
motionless on the prairie. When they
approached they saw that it WAS a sad

rapidly in that direction. The SILVER,

Knife and Fork Etiquette,

There is, of course, an etiquette of
knife and fork, which prescribes what
shall be used ON a given occasion and
for stated purpose. The principal
points in this direction are these: For
everything that must be cut, such as
meats, have knives with steel blades and
ivory handles; fancy knives may be
used for fish, where they are employed
at all; but the best authorities pre-
scribe the fork alone for use at the fish
course. A dessert kGife should be of
silver, IS it is not affected byfruit acids,
and leaves neither stain nor taste upon
anything which it cuts. Forks and
spoons are in all cases to be of silver;
the two, three and four-tined steel forks
of few years since being no longer adj
mitted to cultivated society.-Good

denly it seemed to the puncher that it
was getting dark: the herd was but a
dim outline; the wind tore at the
punches of sage and grease wood, piling
up the snow on one side and cutting out
caves on the other. The rider was warm
and cold at intervals. His mind wan

followed out the suggestion. 1t was
cosy and comfortable. Mike swung his
headquarters toward the north, clamped
his tail between his legs, bumped his
back and philosophically nodded off to
sleep. The puncher slept also.
At first dreams crowded thick and
fast, then they faded. The storm
howIed with increasing vigor. The cattle
one by one drifted off into the night,
unable to withstand the storm. Mike
shifted his weight from one foot to the
other, and slept on, shivering beneath

white with snow, and his breath cover
ing his nostrils and breast with a white

he thought it was apparent that the jury
could not agree. Not once, however, did
the jurors ask to be discharged. They
were a determined set Of fighters and
they looked for no interference on the
part Of the judge, in whose discretion they
might have been released at any time.
In the interviews given by members of
the jury they said they paid little atten-
ton to the bones. Although the battle
Of the PSYCHOLOGISTS was the great feature
Of the trial, the sesamoid, femur and
other bones which were introduced in evil
dence as portions of Mrs Luetgert, and
over which the battle was fought, were
not considered by the jurors. They were
cast aside as having no weight in prov
ing guilt. To the way Of thinking en-
ployed by several of the jurors, the work
Of impeaching the Schimpke girls and
Nick Faber was fruitless. There We're
those in the jury who gave credence to
their testimony that they saw Mrs. Luet-
CERT with her husband going toward the
engine room of the factory that night.
Greater, however, than all Of the evil
dence was that of the rings. The alb
sence from the smaller ring of any mill
ing was the point that did most to keep
the three jurors strong in their assertion
that Luetgert was innocent. Nearly all
of the witnesses said the small ring had
a milled edge when they saw it with Mrs.
Luetgert, while the one in evidence had
d smooth outer surface. And when it was
all ended an eneomium Of Inspector
Schaack's methods issued from the jury
room. With the exception of Foreman
Heichhold, who wrote this peculiar docu-
ment in which Schaacks manner of secur-
ing evidence was commended, most OF the
Jurors denied any knowledge Of signing
such document. They admitted hav-
ing signed resolutions of thanks to Judge
Tuthill and the court officers, but exhibit
ed no knowledge of the last paragraph
which sounded approval of the north SIDE
police inspector.
Were it not for Juror Harley, it is as
serted by many of the other jurors. YER
dict Of guilty would have been rendered
Harley was convinced of Luetgerts IN
nocence and he voted for acquittal on
every ballot His positiveness was prop
and support to Holabird and Barber, who
voted with him on every ballot. When
no left the court building he was cheered
by the crowds in the street, who dlstln-
q11ished him as the one who was immova-
HE in his belief Of the prisoners lnno-
cence.
After nearly two months Of legal con-
tention the case goes upon the records
to be cited as another Of the historic muir
dor trials of the century. The celebrity
of this sensational case has been partly
due to the extraordinary character of the
alleged crime as described by the State
and partly to the unusual Developments
Of the trial itself. The State had before it
the difficult task of evoking the image Of
Mrs. Luetgert from few bones and two
gold rings. To connect the dead woman
with the accused it then had to present to
the Jurors story which naturally would
seem hard to believe, and in proof Of
which it had only circumstantial evidence
