THE CASE OF MRS. GEORGE.
The Famous Trial of Mrs. Anna IT. George, mt Canton, O.. Hns En-
 tered Its Third Week.

Canton. O., April 18.-The third week of the trial of Mrs Anna George for the murder of George D. saxton began.
 The two principal witnesses are yet to be heard, and they are two widows in the Mrs. Althouse and Mrs. George. The state has been wanting Mrs. Althouse, but she has not yet been found.
 So far as public curiosity goes. there is more interest taken in the antci- pated appearance of Mrs. Althouse than in Mrs. George taking the stand in her own defense. The defense has not outlined it's plans. but it is gen. efally expected that there are several surprises in store for this week, espe- cially if the examination extends into all the alleged wrongs Mrs. George claims to have suffered after deserting her husband for Saxton. Mayor Rice is expected to testify regarding the story of Police Sergeant Hesler, who was directed by the mayor where to find the revolver with which Saxton was murdered.
 Although Mrs. George has been in jail over six months she Is passing through the ordeal with composure.

SMILING SAMOANS.
IndeIent and Amiabie But When They Are Riicd They Can
 FiHbt Like Efends.

The men are noble specimens, phys ieallX-tall, muscular, with the erect carriage and elastic step of an Ameri- can Indian. They, too, are smiling and sindly-in time of peace-and are clad in mantles of the gay prints which they have bought at the store; they greet Teu with a wave of the hand and a courteous "Alofa." They tattoo the legs from the waist to the knee, and as they stride along these members ap- pear between the folds of their drapery as if they were decently clothed in skin tight trousers. They are indolent and, when not reused to hostility, as amiable and fun-1oving as children. They work IS little as is possible, and why should they2 The forest abounds in wild bananas, breadfruit and yams, which may be had for the taking; the sea is full of fish, which they are expert in catching. and if Providence deigns to send them fattened pig once or twice q year they are blessed. Clothing they to not require, nor fuel; their taxes are only nominal, and they are consequent ly exempt from the chief demands of life, and which, but for the expense and difficulty of getting buried, make it far easier for the average American to die than to live,
 But these gentle creatures can fight and fight cruelty, although their method of warfare is peculiar; they eat and drink between rounds, when a sort of truce is declared, then go at it again, shoot at short range and shoot to kill. Formerly, until the practice was abol- ished by Chief Justice Ide, the killing was followed by beheading, and this ceremony was not always deferred, where the victim had been only wound ed, until life was extinct. The heads were then collected and presented to the king as an especial proof of prow- ess. This barbarous practice the chief justice had the utmost difficulty in dealing with, and it was not discon- tinued until the other representatives of the triple protectorate consented to enact law to punish offenders by fin ing them heavily, and adding to this penalty lengthy term of imprison- ment.-Leslies Weekly,

ROUNDING UP OF LOGS.

The white pine industry thrive. greatest in the northwestern parts O the states of Wisconsin. Minnesota ant Michigan. The logging operations il these forests are conducted principally in the winter season, beginning early in November and continuing unti about the end of March. For the hous ing of the men, horses and oxen suit able camps or shanties are provided generally built of logs and situated within convenient reach of the densest part of the timber to be cut. An aver age set of camps will house from 3t to 75 men, who are under the charge ol the foreman of the camp.
 In felling trees the men work in pairs, two to each tree. They use both the aN and the double-handed saw. The fall of the tree is regulated by the use of wedges inserted into the saw cut at the proper time and place, and So expert do the operators become that a tree is dropped between any two stumps that may be selected in a way that amazes a novice, and within 20 minutes from the time the men com mence work. After the feller comes the Swamper, whose duty it is to side mark each log with an individual mark, usually called a water mark. in addition to cutting a narrow path through the brush for the fallen tim Der to the nearest logging road. Close upon the fellers come also the cross cut sawyers, who cut the trunk into logs of convenient length with double handed saw. \ sllidding team then fol- lows and drags the logs to the nearest sAidway on the logging road. The skid Way is generally situated at the side oi slight natural rise to enable the Skiddlng teams to deposit their logs more easily from above.

Proof Positive.

Two men were standing outside jewel CTS wiadow admiring the gorgeous display of gitterng gems that lay before them. Presently one of them. pointing to an object in a red plush tray, said:
 Just look at that scarfpin, representing a fly. Anyone can tell that not real"
 Well, 1 should think so," answered i friend. Nho ever saw a common fly with such bright appearance? Why, il makes me weary when 1 think that the ieweler who produced that fondly hoped that some one would purchase it to deceive his friends If l saw that on mans scarf could tell directly that t was an ep6meled imitation" ]"
 At that moment the object of their con demnation moved across the tray, flew n the air, and vanished. The two men looked at each other, gasped, and moved away without | word -PearsOnAs s Weekly.

Havana, April 1s.-The last general order issued by Maj.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to his comamnd, the Seventh army corps, is in part as follows:
 "An order has been received which moves the last regiment of the Sev, enth army corps across the sea, to be mustered out of the service of the United States, and the renks of its organization will be forever broken. The record made by the officers and men, however, will be forever pre- served on the pages of the military history, in which their country will inscribe their deeds. No troops have won a greater reputation for dis eipline, drill, manly discharge of duty, soldierly conduct and cheerful obedi- ence to all orders.
 The Presidents Assurance.
 ''The presidents assurance that had the war with Spain continued, the Seventh army corps would have been selected to lead the assault on the Ba- yana line, proves that the corps pos sesed the confidence of the comman- dtI=li7tIlitl DI tiic diiiY dliti udty y, d confidence shared by his fellow coun- trymen.
 Tt is gratifying, in reviewing the career of the corps, to remember the harmony which has existed between the 10000 soldiers who answered the roll call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Sa- vannah and in Cuba, whether the vol nhteers who afterwards, at various times, broke ranks and resumed the duties of citizenship, or the regulars whose standards, still flying, are now the advance sentinels of American progress and civilization.
 Soldiers Of the North and South.

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.

I left the farm when mother died, and changed my place of dweliin' To daughter Suses stylish house, right fin the city street, And there was them, before came, that sort of scared me tellln' How 1 would find the town-folks' ways so difficult to meet. They said I'd have no comfort in the rustlin' hxed-up throng, And I'd have to wear stiff collars every weekday right along I find take to city ways just like duck to water, I like the racket and the noise, and never tire of shows And there's no end of comfort in the man sion of my daughter, And everything Is right al hand, and money freely flows; And hired help Is all about, just listenin for my call, But miss the yellow almanac of my kitchen wall. The house Is full of calendars from attic to the cellar; They're painted in all colors, and are fancy-like to see. But just in this particular I'm not mod ern feller. And the yellow-covered almanac is good .. enough for me; I'm used to 1t, I've seen 1t round from boy hood to old age, And I rather like the Jokin' at the bottom of each page. like the way the "S" stood out to show the weeks beginnin' Qn these new-fangled calendars the days seemed sort of mixed), And the man upon the cover, though he wasn't exactly winnin' With lungs and liver all exposed, still showing how we are fixed And the letters, credentials that was writ to MT. Aver, I've often. on a rainy day, found readin very fair I tried to find one recently; there want one in the city. They teted out great calendars In every sort of style; I looked at 'em in cold disdain, and an swered em in pity: "I,d rather have my almanac than all that costly pile" And, though I take to city life. I'm lone some, after all, For that old yellow almanac upon my kitchen wall. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in the Century.
