In the U. s. Court.

The trial of important criminal cases
always develops the fact that every crimi-
nal has sympathizers, and no matter how
heinous the crime. there are those who
would fain desire his acquittal. On the
other hand there are those who seem to
take the position that every man is guilty
who gets himself charged with an offense
But between the two extremes there is a
larger and more conservative class of
citizens who simply desire to see the laws
properly enforced, and the guilty pun
ished. Public sentiment when under
stood is generally very nearly right, but
there are those who are always willing to
declare the will of the minority TO be
superior to that of the majority.

The trial and conviction of Eli Huff
charged with the crime of perjury, last
week in the UnitedStatesc court at misplace
was but another chapter i'll the Lovelace
murder case which was tried in this court
about a year ago. Lovelace was indicted,
tried and convicted for the murder of
young Will Glass at Welch, on the night
of December 80 1896, whom he attempted
TO hold up and rob in his grain office.
The defense offered, was an alibi, and
Eli Huff, with a numbar of others swore
in the trial that AIilburn Lovelace alias
Milburn Dickyson, was at the Bachtel
hotel in this city at the hour when the
murder was committed at Welch on
December so, 1896. Lovelace was con-
victed and sentenced to the
penitentiary for his natural life,
and then Eli Huff and several other
witnesses, including Holly Lovelace, a
brother of the defendant, were indicted
for perjury.
Huff's trial attracted a great deal of at
tention, the court room was crowded
throughout the trial which lasted nearly
a week The government was represent
ed by the district attorney and Tom
Flannelly of Chetopa, and the defense
was conducted by Wm. Mellette, J. d.
Cox, and ex-congressman Blue of Paola.
No legal battle ever fought in this court
was fought harder, nor the entire ground
contested closer from beginning to end.
The prosecution succeeded in gaining a
verdict of guilty, the jury being out less
than one hour, and Huff was sentenced
by the court, to four years at hard labor

An Island of Flowers.

The Sicily islands may very justly
be termed flower islands, for large
part of their surface is given up to the
cultivation of flowers, and the great
majority OF their people spend their
lives in attending to the plants, from
which all the wealth Of the islands is
drawn. Ss 81 Z 81 ;t5
The inhabitants have had other occu-
pations before they settled down to
flower growing. At one time they were
wreckers, and at 3 later period they
went into q more legitimate business
and devoted themselves to the raising OF
early potatoes. There was money to be
made ont Of them. and the islands pros
pered until prosperity bore ito usual
fruit in the shape Of competition. The
Channel islanders took togrowing pota-
toes, and the potato trade Of the Sicily
islands was killed Thereupon the is
2landers betook themselves to flower
growing, giving the greater part Of
1 their attention 70 the nArci ssi Inst
4 Mary's alone nearly q quarter Of the
cultivated area Of the island is devoted
70 flowers. Yonth's Companion.

A military Trick.

One of our German American citizens
related the following incident Of the
German revolution Of 1913:
''We were short of men and had a
large number of prisoners to look after.
That did not worry us as long as we
were not moving, but one day we had
to make forced march The country
through which we were to pass was
hostile, and extreme watchfulness was
necessary. We had few enough men as
it was, and we knew that those pris-
oners were ready to make dead run at
the first opening. ss (.
Finally young officer made bril-
liant suggestion, and it was promptly
carried out We ripped the suspender
buttons from the prisoners trousers,
took away their belts and knew we had
them. Their hands were busy after
that, and fast running was out OF the
question. We made the, march safely,
and I do not believe that even Yankee
ingenuity could have invented SIM
pier solution. z New York Tribune.

THE LAST MAN SHAVED.

An Explanation by the Barber That Did
i Not Quiet His Nerves.
There were five of us hunting and
fishing in the Queensland bush when
one rainy day stranger appeared. He
said he was a tramp barber, and as
none of US had been shaved for a fort
night we gave him half a days work.
About four hours after he had left US
a band of six men rode up, and the leader
inquired if we had seen tall, roughly
dressed man pass that way. We told
him of the barber, and he looked from
man to man and exclaimed:
GOOD gracious but you are all
freshly shaved" -. =
Yes, we gave the barber a job
/ 'tAnd he shaved each one Of your
''He did, and did it well.''
"Boys, do you hear that?'' shouted
the man as he turned to his companions
'What of it?'' asked one Of our party.
"Why, he went insane yesterday and
cut man 8 throat in his barber's chair
over at Unadilla, and we're after him
to put him in an asylum. =
They rode away at q gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after 9
hard fight and was tied on his horse.
He seemed to remember US when he
was given drink of water, and as he
handed the cup back he quietly OBJ
served: .........- sss*

I meant to finish off the last man who
got shaved, but I got to thinking Of
something else, and it slipped my mind. %

OF Ssnsis.
With 9 fesling that my words will
carry little weight with those who
think otherwise, I,yenture to suggest
that the Sahara is not exactly what it
is commonly assumed to be, and yet in
many ways it is not very different. It's
FIRST sands, when approached from the
side Of El-Kantara, are giant rocks,
burned brown and red under the glow
Of the southern sun, standing out IN
wild pinnacles from the gently undu-.
lating surface. This is not the desert
chat is ordinarily pictured by the mind
that flat, endless expanse which fades
of nnmoved and unbroken to the limits
Of vision-but it is the desert, neverthe-
less, just as much as the mountain
SHOWS Of the far north are part Of the
great arctic sea Of ice. = Beyond, how
ever, is the great plain itself, its swell
ing undulations hardly relieving to the
eye the appearance Of absolute fatness
which the picture offers.
The truth is, the Sahara presents
itself in double aspect, that Of the fiat
and sandy plain and that Of the rocky
ridge or mountain, the Hammada. It is
the Hammada that is more particularly
dreaded by the caravans, for among
their wind swept crags there are few
cases, and only the blowing sands and
a relentless sun are the companions Of
the footsore pilgrim. In many parts Of
the fat desert travelling is moderately
easy, for over long distances the surface
has become coated into a hard, Shiny
crust--a solid basement rock. one may
call it. Along our route Of travel there
were no sand dunes Of any magnitude,
the highest perhaps scarcely exceed
| ing Is or 30 feet, but I was informed by
the distinguished French explorer, M.
Foureaud, who was then stopping at
Biskra, that beyond Tuggurt they rise
to the prodigious height Of from 1900
to l, 400 feet. This speaks even more
eloquently for the power of the winds
than do the high tossed sands of coral
islands. Popular Science Monthly.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL LENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
