this afternoon the Japanese legation here
had received no official information re-

THE WORRIED WOMEN. 9

They say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. 1t makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles Of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
overladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

Yevdokimoff. the young Russian Croe-
sus, who has just waited himself into

long years he was one of their best Gus
toners, paying Iavishly for every bit OF
fun he could extract by fair or foul
means.
Vladimir, strange to say had craze

and dance women, whom he engaged
for a period of two or three months to
amuse him in the ice and snow wider

IN an eight-cornered hall, the walls, cell
ing and floor of which were clad with
mirrors. There he sat on golden throne
that could be turned in all directions like
an Office chair. while his troupe of ac-
tresses passed in review before him in
the most outlandish costumes
Vladimir was in love with himself and
changed his costume more often in a
days time than the German Emperor
does his uniforms. Clad in purple and
crown, he used TO sit for hours smiling
at his counterfeit, while turning in his
throne chair. At most of his grand fes-
rivals women only were admitted They
had to Worship him as demi-god. In
this way Vladimir spent the FIVE millions
of roubles of his Inheritance III so many
years, plus two millions more which he
borrowed. Assets: A lot of costumes

EXCUSES OF JURORS.

When the examination of prospective
jurors was made by NJ. F. Prosser for
the Attorney Generals Department, and
by George A. Davis and Frank Thomp-
son for the defense, there were some
amusing reasons given why they should
be excused, although many were for
urgent business reasons. A. B. Arleigh,
was excused on his plea of business af-
fairs. E. A. Lewis had scruples against
the infection of the death penalty
Harry Arnlitage had business affairs to
attend to. a trio of Hawaiians could
not understand English Jonathan Shaw
passed the ordeal and was accepted. J.
A. McCandless was excused as having
formed an opinion, and Charles S. Crane
for the same reason.
A special venire was then issued re4
turnable at 8 p. m. when the examine
ton of prospective jurors was continued.
