The burnt leather work is perhaps go
ing out, but the beautifully carved leath-
er in Mexican work is always good. 1t
is good work, and while the demand may
vary with the whims of fashion, it can
never be bad. A handsome purse of this
leather, tinted, shows the omnipresent
woman of decorations for today, Cleopa-
ira or one of her maidens carved, with
lotus blossoms around her. A handsome
waste paper basket is also one of this
handsome carved leather. 1t is seldom
that a scrap basket is made of the ma
terials used upon the writing table, as
this is.
A new thing in leather is a toilet set,
every piece covered with it, Red leather
has been charming in many ways, but
this is a new one. The backs of brushes
and nail polishers are covered with it,
the tooth brush and tooth powder bot
ties are encased in it, and nail files and
scissors have handles Of the same

curing his release.
Mr.. Neshitt drew a distinction be-
tween insanity and uncomfortable I'M

must be looked upon with suspicion.
Mr.. Nesbitt pointed out that II was the
only plea by which the prisoner could
hope to escape punishment Tor his
crime His insanity must be proved
beyond all reasonable doubt. Continu-
ing. Mr., Nesbitt reviewed the evidence.
He argued that symptoms of insanity
have developed in Lowry only since
the crime was committed, His ao-
tons at the La Belle and Riverside
mills may have simply been those OF a
large man with vicious temper. TO
witness Mcdonald he had admitted
that he was merely acting part. lie
acted differently in the Columbus asy-
mm, and escaped from that institution
and from the State, because there was
a forgery charge hanging over his
head.
While Nesbitt was scoring Lowry,
he showed signs of nervousness, ris-
ing to his feet several times, and NUT
tering ineoherentiy. Let me out, G-
d. you"
Court officers seized Lowry and for
chilly pushed him into the jail corridor,
while he was shrieking Let me go.
A little later he was brought back
into the court room. Mr.. Nesbitt re-
marked that the exhibition the jury
aad witnessed. had only been given
when Lowry was charged with a crime
He asked the jury to find that he was

quently.

to the jury.

A Veterinary Surgeon Of Battle Creek
Tells About II.

How many times in life few words
of good advice, coming from a friend
enc can depend upon, will save us
hours, perhaps months of misery. The
following which, coming from Battle
Creek, will interest our readers. DIR.
Oliver Guiteaux, veterinary surgeon of
that city, a well-known man there, as
well as in Kalamazoo and Marshall,
speaks of his experience with the lit
tie conqueror and the result of few
timely words of advice, he says:
Il was standing in Amberg 81 Muir
phys drug store in Battle Creek one
day when a friend of mine came in
and asked for a box of kidney pills.
After he had made his purchase / said
quietly to him: You have made a
mistake in buying those His reply
was: How is that?' / said Doan's
Kidney Pills are worth all the others
put together. AS he wanted my rea-
sons for thinking so l told him that
my kidneys had bothered me for years,
that l had suffered from backache un-
til L could scarcely stand it, that
had nearly every symptom to be found
where the kidneys are affected, that
had used remedy after remedy, includ-
ing box after box of the one he just
purchased, and that until | used Doan's
Kidney Pills l might have taken as
many spoonfuls Of water; in fact, L
think some of them hurt me. A cou-
pie of weeks after this l met him on
the street, when he said: Doc, Doan's
Kidney Pills are just as you represent
ed. After using the box about which
we had a conversation in Amberg &
Murphy's drug store | was as bad as
ever. then procured Doan's and stuck
to their treatment until they cured
