Women In Old Egypt

The religious Egyptian believed his ulterior happiness and his everlasting union with the divinities in the eternal world to be wholly dependent upon his preparations beforehand, and with these the wife had much to do. She was. in fact, as the mother of his children, his savior and liberator for none but a son could pray for the fathers soul on it's way to paradise, and she was en- titled to and received his homage and loyal obedience. In those days the ''gray mare was the better horse,' and she was treated accordingly.

Velvet draperies in rich emerald, petunia and orange velvets are yelled with crazy net, dotted here and there with sparkling jewels, and jew eled pins of some size fasten loops and twists or connect draperies on the more elaborate toques.

JURY FAILS TO AGREE.
Case Of Alleged Assault Upon Two
Oncers.

The jury in the case of Beverly Shanklin,
who was tried yesterday in the Police Court
on the charge of assaulting Policemen
Bannegan and George Armitage, after be-
ing out eighteen hours. came into court
shortly after = O'Clock this morning and in
formed Judge KimbaIl, through their fore
man, Mr.. r. W. II. Reel, that they were
unable to agree upon a verdict in either
case.
Il am astonished," was the comment Of
Judge Kimball. who thereupon discharged
the jury from further consideration of the
case. Shanklin is now serving term in
Jail for threatening his wife. No date was
set for a second trial of the assault
charges.
The testimony for the government show
ed that Sunday evening last the officer at
tempted to arrest Shanklin on a warrant
which charged the latter with threatening
to kill his wife. The officer met the ac-
cused on the street and placed him under
arrest. Shanklin told the officer he would
not go with him, and a tussle followed,
during which Shanklin struck the officer
and kicked him several times.
Policeman Bannegan then struck Shank
lin over the head with his club, and, II is
alleged. poked him in his right eye, injur-
ing it. From the effect of the blows
Shanklin was rendered unconscious and
fell on the ground, where he remained I'M
til carried away liz the patrol wagon. Ar
mitage received a couple of kicks from
Shanklin while assisting Bannegan.
Witnesses for the defense testified main
ly corroborative of the evidence given by
those for the prosecution, but claimed that
Shanklin did not at any time hit or kick
the officer, nor did they know whether or
not Armitage was kicked by Shanklin.
