The jury at Omaha Neb., which tried
Callahan for kidnapping Edward
Cudahy, brought in verdict of not
guilty. which displeased the presiding
Judge to such an extent that he re-
buked the jury in the following Ian.
guage;
1t is impossible for me to under
stand ., he said, how twelve intelli
, gent men could have agreed upon
such a verdict after listening to the
testimony The defendant could not
have chosen more wisely if he had
been selecting his own representatives
and the community could not have
IN tde a more unfortunate selection. "
1.-The jury is discharged without
the compliments OF the Court and the
prisoner is likewise turned loose as to
this trial, | presume, TO continue the
criminal practice in which you have
failed to check him. l do not know
what motive actuated yon in reach
ing this decision, but | hope none of
you will ever appear again in sthis
jury box. -
If the jury system is TO be maintain
ed in this country we question the
policy of the judiciary in giving voice
to its disagreement, in such manner
as to bring the system i'll contempt by
the public.
1t would have been far better for
the state to have been more dilligent
in selecting the personal of the jury.
The court should also have exercised
more care in protecting the public by
seeing that the men who entered the
Jury box were such as would do justice
between the citizen and the state. When
the damage is done it is then too late to
find fault with a result for which the
court was in a great measure respon-
sible.
Under our trial system the court as
well as the jury has its duty to pre-
form and it is bad policy for the
court or jury to be PERMITTED 70 criti-
size the action of either.

Circumstances do not make charac-

which we stand while we build char
acter. The scafolding will 60, and

Let not the word "yoke" frighten
YOU; we must bear the weight, but
God helps us to bear it. 1t is bur-
den that two must carry and God
shares it with US.
That we may learn the mind of God
and come into closer relationship
with Him. All our play, all our work,
all our joys and all our suffering have
that for their object.
Faith is a gift from God, but man
must bring himself to the point of &C.
cepting the gift. That involves a
struggle which is more or less severe
according to circumstances.
1.-THE brave man is not he who feels
no fear, for that were british and IT.
rational; but he whose noble soul its
fears subdues. and bravely dares the
dagger nature shrinks FROM"
Our relationship with earthly pa
rents, brothers, sisters, children, is
chiefly valuable in helping US to
climb up to comprehension OF what
it means to call God our Father and
Jesus our Brother.
With the responsibilities involved
in the divine life come also the COM
Partnerships and joys and helps which

with God and with his Son, Jesus

The spiritual life is not knowing,
not bearing, not doing. We only
know 80 far as we can do. We learn
to do by doing. What we do truly, in
the way of duty, that, and only that
we are.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In .
Tempting Way.

How to Prepare and Serve It In .
Tempting Way.
As the patient begins to regain health
and strength more solid food is given
milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or a well baked
potato. Great care must be taken not
10 overtax the digestive organs. Re-
lapses are often caused by too much In
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. A broiled bird or
q piece Of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient Is in q sufi-
ciently advanced stage of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable, as they are
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving of food for a sick
person. The faint appetite Of illness
can best be coa1ed by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on tray with
q fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
it. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or little sprig Of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt a vase Of flowers unless it be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much col
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all of a single pale tint the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eye Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains of food served stand in the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served imme-
diately after they are prepared, and 1t
seems superfuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn
perature.
There are great many simple, dain-
| ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and is very nutritious'and can be
digested by some very i'll patients, and
it Is almost always relished. .,..

How to Cure Insomnia.

It is now a generally recognized fact
that one of the most prolific causes OF
insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually ina disturbed condi'
ton Of the digestive organs If in moth
ing more serious. The remedy in such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia Of protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
a period Of fasting. There are few
cases Of sleeplessness, in fact, in which
a little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking OF cold
water just before retiring is often
highly eficacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power Is
a generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness, the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.
