THREE YEARS LABOR COST.
A Fine Piece of Mexican Drawn Work
Entirely Ruined just After It's
Completion.

To spend three years upon a piece of
work and then, by the simple overturn-
ing of an inkstand, ruin it all is not
conducive to good spirits, but such was
the case Of a Germantown woman who
for three years worked increasingly
upon a piece Of Mexican drawn work,
says the Philadelphia Record. A few
days ago marked it's completion, and it
was laid out upon table to await the
inspection of a purchaser, who had Of
fered sum far beyond the limit of what
one would imagine fancy work to be
worth in any quantity. The proud
owner of the work was suddenly awak-
ened from nap by scream from her
little daughter, and, looking at the
drawn work, imagined she was in the
midst of nightmare, for the greater
portion was dripping with the black
contents of the inkstand, upset by the
little child. Chemists and drug stores
were telephoned to for recipes and arti-
cles for removing the stain, and after
using quantity Of acids the ink had
faded away, and when the drawn work
had been placed in the sun to bleach,
peace was partly restored in the upset
household. When it came to bring in
the precious piece of linen, the first
touch made it practically dissolve into
nothing, so thoroughly had the acids
eaten into the fabric.

WHY CIGARS COME UNROLLED.
They Get Twisted i'm One Direction
In the Factory and i'm Another
by Smokers.

ut is an everyday occurrence to hear
men complain of poorly made cigars"
said well-known tobacconist one day
last week in discussing the matter with
one of his patrons, according to the Phil
adelphia Record. ut is not always be-
cause cigar is indifferently or badly
made that the wrapper curls up and
comes off, Very much oftener this comes
from the cigar having been rolled by a
makers left hand and later smoked from
the hand of right-handed man.
"All cigarmakers must use both
hands equally well, and economy, both
in time and material, is the prevailing
rule in the tobacco factories. When a
piece of tobacco is cut from the wrap
per it is cut on the bias, and rolled from
left to right on the filler, and at the
same time by the other hand the remain
ing pieces are used being necessarily
rolled in the opposite way. For this
reason the man who holds cigar in his
right hand, which always receives few
twists during the course of smoke,
rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and
easily enough it becomes loOsened."

Japan seems to have pretty fair
control of the situation in Korea.
She has the sympathy of the natives,
who are first cousins of the Japs,
and this is great assistance to an
invading army away from home.
The Russians not only have to
transport troops several thousand
miles on single line of railroad,
but when they arrive at their des-
tination they are met by a hostile
people, who can do much to keep
information and supplies from an
army. In all the military and naval
work thus far done, the Japanese
soldiers and commanders are prov
ing themselves as good as any on
earth, disproving the assertion that
they are simply an initiative people.
The little brave and patriotic folks
are certainly entitled to place
among nations. a

s'".Have any of these men taken plu-
raj wives since the manifesto of 1902"
asked Beveridge. Il repeat" said
Smith, bringing his hand down on the
table with some emphasis, 'that since
the manifesto of 1890 no man has en-
tered into plural marriage with the
knowledge or approval Of the church."
when your deacons are sent out
and make conversions in other lands
do they not present the rightfulness
of pOlygamy as religious virtue?"
This question was put by Hoar and
was answered in the negative. 'They
never discuss polygamy," Smith said,
unless compelled to do SO to meet at
tacks. They do not advocate polygamy
in any way. Indeed, the elders are
instructed not to advocate plural mar
riages at all; it is thing Of the past"
Inquiry having been made by sever
al members of tie committee ais to
what Tayler expected to prove by GER
tain questioning the latter said: Il ex-
pected to prove that Mr.. Smoot could
not by any possibility put himself up
against his associates in his actions,
not even in his vote as United States
senator" Tayler said Smoot would
be bound to follow the direction Of
the church not only in spiritual af
fairs, but also in temporal things, be-
cause under the definitions of the
church it is impossible to distinguish
between the two.
Smith said that if Smoot had insisted
on running for office without the con-
sent of his associates he would not
have lost his official position, but would
have been out of harmony with s'the
twelve" In answer to questions by
Chairman burrows he declared he had
performed no polygamous marriages
since 1890 anywhere on earth. Dubois
asked if any of the apostles had per-
formed such a service and Smith said
if they had they would have been fined
and imprisoned if found guilty, and if
the charge could be proved the Of
fender would be communicated.

Dubois then asked Smith if it was
not understood by those in authority
that it was the duty OF the polygamist
to continue to .ovide for and supLol
his plural family after the manifesto
of 1890. Smith answered that it was
generally so understood Resume
the inquiry concerning Smiths per-
sonal acts, Tayler asked; How many
children have you had since the mani
festo of 1902" Worthington objecled
on the part of the defense, and both
Senators Beveridge and Foraker again
said it made no difference how many
children had been born
But Burrows ruled for the question,
and Smith replied: ELEVEN since 1896.
Each of my five wives has borne ne
children"
''Since that time?' asked Burrows.
''Since that time,' the witness re-
peated in answer. Il rather think"
three children. l could tell you little
later"
In reply to question by Smoot he
said: Each of my families has a
home of it's own in Salt Lake City, and
they are comparatively near to each
other. Since the manifesto my custom
has been to live with my first wife at
her home, but have visited my other
families" He said also that he had
been at the reception to the presi-
dent at Senator Kearns' residence in
Salt Lake City, and that he had one
of his plural wives with him.
did Senator Smoot ever advise you
to persist in your polygamOus cohabit-
ation?' asked Overman.
Il think not. l have never SO far
as I remember, discussed my private
affairs with him."
''Could an apostle be IA polygamist
without your knowledge" asked Sem
ator Dubois. mo, sir; not unless he
violated the rules of the church, and I
don't think any of them would do
that
''Then, why say I think and I sup
poser" Because" replied the wit
ness, II never saw any of them mar
ried to any woman" He then named
few Mormons he knew were living in
polygamy, and said he had never adj
vised them to desist-could not con-
sistently have done so.

EXPLAINS HIS OWN POSITION

Chances with the Law.


Chances with the Law.
Then in answer to the question
whether polygamous living wasregard-
ed by the church as contrary to the
law he answered: 1T was" Continu-
ing, he said: This was the case and
is the case now. But l was placed
in this position: l had a family-a
plural family, if you please. l married
my first wife more than thirty-eight
years ago and my last wife more than
twenty years ago. BY these wives 1
have had children, and hayepreferred
to take my own chances with the law
and suffer any consequences the law
might visit upon me rather than aban-
don these children and their mothers.
l have continued to live with them
since the manifesto of 1890, and they
have borne me children since that date.
L knew | was amenable to the law,
but, as l say, l preferred to face that
situation rather than desert them. l
have not lived with these wives OPEN
ly or Haunted the fact, but 1 have
acknowledged these wives and children
as my family. The people of Utah
have regarded the situation as an ex-
listing fact. These people, as a rule,
are brOad-minded and liberal in their
views, and have condoned the offense
if offense it is-rather than inter-
fere with my situation as they found
it. 1t has been known what I have
been doing. have not been disturbed
in any way, but l was willing to sub
NIT to the penalty, whatever it might
be-"
Smith paused for a moment; but as
Tayler prepared to ask another ques-
ton he proceeded with his statement.
"You must draw a distinction between
unlawful cohabitation and plural mar
riages," he said. 1.-THE state law in
regard to the latter has been obeyed.
No marriages have been performed
with the sanction, approval, consent,
knowledge or connivance of the church
or it's officials. But the other law is
the one have presumed to disregard.

to face rather than disgrace myself or
degrade members Of my family by

do you consider it an abandonment
of your family not to MAINTAIN mar
riage relations" Tayler asked. Smith
faced Tayler and in a low but pene-
trating voice said: II don't like to be
impertinent, but 1 should like you to
ask any woman who is a wife,

rs SIMILAR TO ROBERTS CASE
Only There Were More Helpmeets to
Look After-Smith's Inter-
esting Testimony.

Washington, March 4.-Attorneys for
the protestants in the Smoot investiga-
ton said they intended to prove that
the defendant is associated with a
hierarchy which practices polygamy
and connives violations of the law,
and that his very vote as a senator
of the United States is subject to the
wish and command of the Mormon
church. President Joseph f. Smiths
testimony was the feature of the ses-
sion of the senate elections commit
tee and held the committee all day,
his statements being considered SEN
sational, although in substance the
same facts had come out in the case
of Roberts, who was refused seat in
the house last session.
Dubois States the Real Issue.
The committee began the session by
the announcement of ruling that
testimony bearing upon plural mar
riages of any of the twelve apostles,
Of whom SmoOt is one, lis competent
SO far as it relates to such polygamy
since Sept. 26, 1890, the date of Presl-
dent Woodruff's manifesto, withdraw
ing the order of the church command
ing plural marriages. Senator Dubois
said the real charge against Smoot
was that he is a member of a Nor

vows in conflict with the laws of the
country and was bound to support
such vows. For the first time in
fifty years." said Dubois, the relations
OF this organization toward the Unit
ed States are to be tried"
Acted Under the State Law.
After number of questions had
been asked Smith he asked and re-
ceiyed permission to make statement
and then answer the question in his
way. He spoke with great feeling and
directness, saying: In regard to the
status of polygamy. at the time of the
manifesto, wish to say that after the
hearing before the master in chancery
l understood that we should abstain
from relations with our plural families
and that rule was observed up to the
time the enabling act went into effect
admitting Utah as state. Under that
act the only prohibition was that plu-
RAJ marriages should cease. Nothing
was said about living with our wives.
Plural Marriages Have Ceased.
II understood that plural marriages
were to cease, and ever since the issu-
ing of the manifesto and until the
present time there never has been a
plural marriage in the church per-
formed in accordance with it's teach
ings or with the connivance of the
church," and he added with greater
emphasis: II know whereof I speak,"

year-old Professionalism girl, who
was employed at the same saloon and
restaurant with Gilmore, will be tried
tomorrow. 1t develops that he strug-

when she, with rare presence of mind,
made her way over to push button
in the wall.
Before Gilmore knew what the girl
was doing she had rung the bell for
help. The proprietor of the place, in
the barroom downstairs, answered the
summons, found the pair struggling,
and had the man arrested. The girl
had blackened eye and scratched
hand as a result of the struggle.

GROWING PLANTS IN WATER.
Healthy and Prolific Stalk of Indian
Corn Crows without the Aid
of Any Soil.

It would surprise a Massachusetts
farmer to see healthy, prolific stalk
OF Indian corn growing from a vessel
of clear water, but such a spectacle is
now often presented at the Harvard
botanical gardens, says the Boston
Advertiser. For years Prof. Goodale
has been experimenting with different
plants and different chemical sub
stances to determine just what part
they play in the necessary nourish-
ment of plant life. and it is a result
of these experiments that plant
growths can be made to flourish with
their roots entirely submerged in wa
ter, without the least particle of SOIL
OF course, this knowledge cannot yet
be applied to commercial purposes di-
rectly, but it is applied Indirectly by
the farmer who learns what chemical
agents are valuable as fertilizers or
stimulants to plant life.
Indian corn has been mentioned as
an illustration because it has been the
most conspicuous, but there are in
Vulnerable vegetables and even shrubs
and trees which thrive in water which
has deposit of certain chemical SUBJ
stances, such as chloride of potash
sulphate of magnesia, phosphate of
iron, phosphate of potassium and some
of the nitrates. With the use of these
it has often been found that a plant
will grow, even though the water in
which it's roots rest may be partly
frozen. The chemical elements are
just as active, and the growth shoots
upward in it's natural manner.
