Orders for tin plates were not accept

contracts are still taken at unchang.

high prices for goods deliverable i'm

the lack Of demand here and weak.
ness in London.

burg and the jury thereupon discharged
him. His acquittal gives general sat
isfaction to the community which has
held from the first that May Fosburg
was killed by burglars as the family
maintained. Young Fosburg stood the
trial well and this morning was over
whelmed by congratulations of his
friends.
Pittsfeld, Mass, July 26.--In the
Fosburg manslaughter case Mrs. r..
l.. Fosburg, the gray-haired mother
went upon the witness stand and told
in simple words how her daughter
was killed. Her story was given with
frequently uncontrolled emotion. Her
voice. failed her and she shed tears.
Miss Bertha Sheldon, . guest in the
Fosburg home on the night Of the
tragedy. WAS another important wit
ness. BY her testimony the defense
wished to show that there were burg
lars in the house and that they were
seen by little Beatrice Fosburg.
There was a long argument between
counsel over the governments objec.
tions to the admission OF this evil.
dence. but the court finally allowed it
to go In, because what was said was
spoken In the presence Of the de-
fendant.
Miss Sheldon was relating the story
Of her awakening by piercing
scream" and declared that she open
ed the door leading to May Fosburg's
room and cried What is the mat
ter?" Robert. Beatrice and her father
and mother were in the room at tho
time. Witness saw the body Of May
upon the floor and at that instant Bea-
trics replied. Burglars have entered
the house and shot May"
Mrs. B. Il. Bullard, now Of Madison,
Wis. another witness, declared that
on the fatal night about midnight she
heard two men talking loudly in front
Of her house and that after they had
been gone about an hour she heard
pistol shots far Off.
Mrs. Nellie Beverly. of East Ches.
hire, who lived in Pittsfeld, testified
that her husband was very sick on
the night Of Aug. 20. and she claimed
that he was disturbed by the loud
breathing Of two men who had stopped
running when opposite her house.
She opened the blind and told one of
the men. who was standing by tree,
to go away.
Mrs. Fosburg was the last witness
for the defense. and Immediately at.
ter her testimony was concluded the
defense rested.
Some rebuttal testimony closed the
case with the understanding that the
government would have an oppor.
tunlty Of placing Colonel Whitney. the
state detective, on the stand this
morning.

New Year Resolutions.

It is one of the redeening characters
ties Of human ature-hO however weak and
fallpn- TO have some sense of striving
for better things, either cOrpOrealiy or
spiritually. We question indeed whctll-
crany human being ever sinks so low as
not to have some CLEAN of desire to I'M
prove his spiritual nature, even at the
rXprIsc of his cOrpOreal passions or com
forts. There is in him II wish
TO turn from the error of his pres
cnt ways to something better. 1t may
never come to anything, but The desire
is there. So general is it, and so natu-
raj is the feeling to come when new
year begins, that new year resolutions
are 50 common that their fruitlcSsncss
is the joke of every comic journal.
But cruel and mistaken are such Jokes.
For if tie resolution is, indeed, not car
licd out, the man or the woman making
it, is Mt least that much better for the
momentary uplift of soul it gives.
So, thoughtful reader, OIL the threshold
of II new year and n now century also,
do not despair of thysclf, but make thy
fresh resolves, faltcring with weakness
though they be.
What though they fail 7 "Not failure,
bnt low aim is crime" Each effort made
strengthens the Soul for fresh cndeovor.
Scoln not the new yearresontion then.
Employ it an knife TO prune away old
weaknesses, errors, sins, Perhaps theSe
will not grow again, and il they d.,
pruns and prnnO again, through all this
days Of thy mortal life in this new CELL

New Year Resolutions for Thought,
full Young People.

From the earliest period of time
it has been customary for young
people to make such resolutions on
New Years Day that will bring
them increased happiness and pros
prrity. With the remarkable
strides that the South is making in
the business world, the ambitious
young nen and women Of Louisiana
should make il their foremost re
solve to keep abreast of ihe times.
The SureSt way to win fame and
fortune, is 10 merit them. No per.
son, however bright Or talented,
can hope to hold his own in the
future against the trained man of
business. 1t is safe to say that no
other college in the South has been
80 successful III training yo'usg men
and women in modern bookkeeping
and Office practice, shorthand and
English, as the weii-kn1n S0ule
business College Of New Orleans,
which has educated ia the past
forty-ive years of its existence
oTer $4,000 students.
We cordially commend this
school to Cur young friends, and
request careful perusal of its adj
rertisement in this issue.

TIE RIGHT SORT.

The small boy who is the subject
of this sketch is just a plain boy
with n voice like a steam caIIiope ;
but has certain little peculialities
which make him stand alone. lie
is not q demopstrative boy, il. some
ways. lie never urges upon his
mother that he loves her better than
anybody in the world. The ablIi.
ty to do these things seems to have
been left ont Of bis composition.
But this small boy has been
spending his spare time for months
doing little jobs for people, and
getting paid for them and hiding
the money away. When he could
get nothing else to do he found
odds and ends of pine board and
split them into sliVers and tied
them into bundles and went around
SOlIing kindling, Strange TO say,
he was not at all ashamed to sell
kindling. lie seemed to think it was
work and no one need be ashame |
of work.
How slowly that little hoard of
his must have grown. A nickel
one week, a dime Or Il quarter an
other. One can fancy him count
ing it over anxiouSly and wonder
ing if he would ever have enough.
But he kept sturdily to his purpose
and the little hoard grew.
And few days ago he went out
shopping, brave little laltIie, and
not II member of his family was
forgotten. Something for every
One-and everything bought with
his own little earnings.
Other children, everywhere, have
gone to their parents for the mon
ey with which to buy the presents
for those parents, but that did
not suggest itself to the small boy
of this story. lie had worked and
earned the money with great labor
for small pay; he had saved it
through weeks and months, and
now he went out and spent it like
king in giving pleasure TO others.
Really, one would like to know
this small boy when he shall have
grown several feet taller and TWEEN
ty years older. -JuliaTruitt Birl.op
