Elvira hnrriedly shut the screen
door, but she was too late. A fly had
flown in.
The widow laid down her sewing
and, advancing cautiously, tapped her
blue-checked apron. The fly, retreat
Ing, lighted on the screen, where he
buzzed detiantly. With her left hand
the widow opened the door an inch or
so, and with her right she made covert
passes at the fly. Her outstretched fin
gers travelled stealthlly across the
screen and up and down, while her
large mouth sympathetically worked
itself open and shut. From the street
she appeared to be affected with sort
of mild insanity; but when fly was
In question the widow. McClane cared
little enough for the opinion of the peo-

After further effort she succeeded In
corralling the fly, flung wide the screen
door, spread out her fingers and let him
go. Dazed by his sudden release from
imprisonment, he remained suspended
In midair for a drunken moment, then
winged his way straight into the sun
light.
The widow fastened the hook with a
vicious clamp.
''There" she exclaimed, returning to
her chair by the window and taking up
her sewing 'if there is one thing in the
world hate above another, it's files."

said Elvira, wistfully, twisting the cor
ner of her apron.
"'Twasn't no trouble" responded
the widow. "Leastwise not much. Set
down. You make me nervous enough
to fly to the moon, standin' there tidget-
In"
Thus admonished, Elvira timidly en-
sconced herself In the nearest rocker,
from which vantage ground she fur
lively watched the widow, whose grim,
weather. beaten face now bent over her
work. Her needle moved unevenly
back and forth until the thread short
ened itself to a fingers length. Taking
two or three decisive stitches one above
the other, she drew out the needle and
bit off the remaining thread.
Then she spoke.
"Well, what is 1t, Elvira?' she in
quired.
A faint flush rose to Elvira's eyes,
creeping thence to the roots of her hair.
Its about Joe," she answered.

"Yes,' assented Elvlra, the flush
growing more vivid under the sharp
scrutiny of the old woman's eyes.

POINTS IN WINTER BUTTER
MAKING.

Winter-made butter, says an ex.
change, Is not infrequenty hard and
crunhly and does not spread wei.
Some suppose the cause Is cold wealth
ef. While cold does make butter hard,
the hard crumblng character Of winter
butter Is mainly due TO feed. Corn
stalks ard corn meal make butter hard
aud crumbhng, cOttonseed meal hard
and waxy. on meal fed winter or sum-
mer will make butter soft and oily as
viii also gluten meal. The sklful
dairyman combines these feeds so as TO
produce a good yield and also at the
same time the quality Of butter that
sells well-a butter that Is firm and has
good body, but that spreads easily.
D1lrymen who have private customers
Will be SURPRISED At the difference this
quality makes IN the amount n butter
consumed. " the butter Is hard and

bruch Of the Third district court To-
day. 49,
Before the fmpanelng Of a jury At
tOrncy George WssleWelt, az counsel LOT
the defense .fiasde demand OF judge
Norreu for q tilal by a jury Of twelve
on the ground that a trial by eight
would be in violation OF the sixth and
fourteenth amendments 70 the United
States Constitution, and also In contra
yentlon OF section twelve, article one, OF
the Utah Constitution. Attorney Yves
tervct made The further objection 10
the jury panel on the ground that the
statutes prescribing the methods OF Sc
lecting Jurors was in violation OF the
sixth and fourteenth amendment to the
United StateseConstitution and section
twelve. article one. and section one, ar
tlcle four OF the Utah Constitution.
The last section referred 10 provides
that male and female citizens OF TINS
State shall enjoy equally all civil pollu-
cal and religious lights and privileges.
The effect Of the statutes referred 10 IS
that all female citizens are deOarred
from serving ON turles, The court over
ruled the objections and refused the
demand.
Thereupon Attorney d. S. Truman,
also Of counsel for defense. presented q
petition for the removal OF the case 10
the federal court. under the provisions
Of section Cal Of the revised statutes OF
the United States Mr.. Truman made
an able talk in support Of the petition.
The section referred TO provides that
when any criminal prosecution Is COM
menced against q person, who is de-
MED the equal civil rights Of citizens of
the United States such defendant may,
upon petition, have his case removed
for trial into the circuit court OF the
district.
The position taken by counsel was
that by compelling the defendant 10 be
tried by a jury OF eight. and also by
a fury from which an the female clti-
zens Of the state had been prevented
from being called upon to serve, by
reason OF the Inv which prohibits the
jury commissioners from calling any
female citizens as a juror, deprived the
defendant OF his rights and immunltles
as guaranteed him by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution OF the
United states.
The state, relying upon a wyoming
supreme court decision, cOntended that
The right TO SIT upon jury was not con-
ferred by the Constitution OF this state,
and hence the fury law Of this state,
in that respect, is Constitutional.
