and scarcely any expense, from cast off
garments of the older folks, and when
the color is changed with Diamond Dyes
the made-ove:s will look as though they
were fresh from the dressmaker.
Diamond Dyes are made especially for
home use, and the plain directions on

The verdict in the case of Martin Thorn
convicted of murde ring Guldensuppe may
be theoretically "A very just one, but if it
is true that the jury in the case consumed
an average of $50 worth of liquor per day
while trying him, the verdict should he
set aside. No man should be tried by a
jury for his life whose brains are fuddled
with liquor, either in small or a large
quantity. The carrying" capacity
differs with different individuals, and no
man may say just how much liquor
another can take aud retain his mental
faculties in an unclouded condition. A
single glass taken while serving on Jury
in a case involving life or DEATH should
be sufficient to disqualify man as a
juror, since it might be the means Of
causing him to see some point brought
out in evidence In n different light from
what he would have done had he not
taken the liquor. The fact that one day
the hotel bills showed that, this jury had
consumed $3.50 worth of wine, S32. 10
worth of cigars and had run up billiard

proof positive that they let Thorn do the

memory by his former master, a member
of one of the Oldest families in the coun-
