In conolusion Justice Putnam summed

which the jury should consider and then
ordered them to be taken to the hotel for

The United States court room saw the

to the jury. There wasn't vacant seat
In the court room and within the bar
were nearly all OF the prominent lawyers
Of the ely and some Of the justices OF the
state courts. Judge Putnam's charge
was an able summing up OF. the law OF
the case and was considered by all who
heard 1t as very fair and impartial. He
spoke for nearly two hours and covered
every Important feature of the case.
Judge Putnam began By saying that
the critical stage Of the case had ut last
been reached. Questions OF law were
not largely In controversy. The central
question was that of fact to be determined
by the Jury. Needed of technical diff
culties and forms they had at last thread
cd their way to the final issue Of guilt or
Innocence Of the defendant.
The Judge reviewed the court oers-
monies with which judicial proceedings
have been invested since the earliest days,

He referred to the selemnity Of the

The statutes of the United States, as

What is a Tonic Z

I n tonic is any remedy thatinvigorstes
the nervous system. A weakened nerve
either needs more rest or more nutri-
ton. A true tonic accomplishes both
these ends. 1t procures more rest by
removing all irritation, and 1t increases
nutrition by regulating the digestive
organs. This is why Peruna is to be
classed as tonic.
n Spring Lassitude.
why is nervousness more frequent in
Cho spring? Why do the people feel
languid, tired and depressed as hot
weather approaches? Because the in
vigoration OF winter weather has acted
Es stimulus TO the nervous system. In
spring this is gradually removed. 1t
puts a severe strain on the human sys-
tenn TO adjust itself to the climatic
change from winter to summer. Many
diseases are acquired at this season of
Che year. Peruna is indispensable to
tide the nervous system over this I'M
usual strain. No one should neglect to
take n short course of Peruna during
the spring. 1t will fortify the system
against the depressing.in influences OF hot
weather. Buy bottle to-day and COM

RELIGION OF sOvEREIGNs.
Few who Have Occupied the
Thrones Of Europe Have
neen Pi0us.

Kings are rarely .pious, though they
are still more rarely unbelievers. There
have been plenty Of bad men upon
European thrones, and the lives OF few
kings will bear study through an eth
ical microscope, but we can recall only
one, King Frederick the Great of Prus-
sia, who was a scoffing unbeliever, says
the London Spectator. He even sneered
at the British ambassador for saying
that he would do something or other
by "the help OF God" and asked, with
his nose in the aiIs whether the Eng
lish counted God among their allies.
'Yes, your majesty" was the crushing
reply, "and the only ally who asks no
subsidy from us" 'The temper dis
played in FredericlS's jest is, however,
most unusual among sovereigns, and
though when they win victories they
are often accused ofhypocrisy for pub
licly protesting their belief that God
rules all, and it is more prebable, ip
spite of their usual conduct, that the
profession has been sincere.
Many sinners believe, and sovereigns.
who perceive so plainly the complex
ty Of human affairs, and the powerless-
ness even of the greatest to control
events, must feel more than any men
the necessity for aid and guidance from
some power higher than themselves.
Who else is to give success 20 plans
which are so large that foresight fails,
and orders must constantly be given
the future effect Of which tits impos-
sible to know? 1t is certain, at all
events, that they all say SO, and we see
no reason for supposing that they are
all liars, or are only going through
form. On the contrary, the loneliness
of soyereigns, who all, however much
advised, think that they govern. their
consciousness of a separate position,
and their belief that when all is said
they must bear rule by some special
permission, and therefore must have
some peculiar relation to the Most
High, all tend to make them at least
strongly convinced theists.
