the wound which caused the
death OF Dalziel was the one
which penetrated the base OF his
skull, altho the one which enter
ed his shoulder and then went
downward, might have proved
fatal.
The state procured in evidence
the coat which Dalziel wore on
the fatal night, his blue sweater
and his undershirt. Tie gar
ments were more or less stained
with blood. DR.. Windell testi.
fed that when lie saw the body,
the high collar OF the sheep skin
lined coat was turned up about
the neck. Atty. LeSueur
attempted to show that itwould
have been impossible for the
bullet to have penetrated the
base Of the skull without making
a hole through the coat collar.
There was not a hole in the col
lar Of the coat. The doctor said
he believed that it might have
been possible to miss the collar.
DR. Windell stated that he found
one pool OF blood, which evident.

that he died. He did not know
OF any trouble between Gown
and his brother except from here
say. Judge Palda gave him a
very severe cross examination.
A letter was introduced into
court, which purported to be the
one which Gown wrote to Miss
Briggs father, advising him to
stop Dalziel's attentions to the
daughter. The brother could not
positively say that Gown had
written the letter. Ansel Donnel-

GOWN was at his home until

Why Do the Birds Migrate2

The birds are gathering for their
annual migration, and will soon be

trying to answer his own question,
why do birds migrate?" and he
is no nearer the answer today than
he was when he first propounded
it. He only knows that the birds
do migrate. and that they may be
expected to leave about a certain
time and return about a certain
time. The bird is mystery. When
man can explain to his own salts

EHIE FIRST RED LEAF.

What ID that which the eye perceives
Glowing among the thick green leaves.
Is 1t an orioIe perched to rest
Or tanager, with his vivid vest?
Or lonely grosbeak, left hehind
Forgotten by all his gorgeous kind?
Alas, for summer-and woe for me-
Fis the first red leaf on the dogwood tree!
Ah, why? forthe grass is not yet serve;
No blight betokens the falling year;
"A late rose regns on her thorny thorne,
ALI the farier because alone,
And mods and smiles in the sunny noon,
4. AS sweet and perfect as those of June;
Why hint at winter and storm to be,
o first red leafo the dogwood tree?
One orphaned lily leans pale and tall,
Last of its line, by the lichened wall,
The saliva tosses its bri liant plume,
The bright nasturtiums yet in bloom,
And dahlias, crimson and gold and white
Waste their beauty, awake all night,
Yet here, with its sorrowful prophecy
Is the first red leaf on the dogwood tree!
The knapweed swings by the meadow path
Where mowers gather the aftermath;
The first pale aster has but begun
To hint that the torrid days are done,
The fringy sprays of the goldenrod
Are spreading their spendthrft wealth abroad,
And while they charm US, we ueed not see
The first red leaf on the dogwood tree!

GoIdenrods and Daisies

What isthe most beautiful time
of the yearf That is a question
which every one answers according
to his taste. We are quite willing
to allow the spring poets to effer-
vesce in their season, and ne will
not deny to pessimists the pleas
ure of morslizing on the fall of the
leaf, but We would suggest to those
who cannot get up a fine frenzy
about gladness out of gloom or
singing to eternal slumber in a
flash of Autumn glory that there
is time which yields TO none in
the abundance of fowess and deli
oacy of combination of oolors and
that time is now on to the early
frostssand even ftsr-ths time Of
goldenrod and daisies.
Cnriously enough. these flowers.
SO unlike each other in outward
appearance, are relatives. for they
both belong to the order of com
sitae, "that wonderful ORDER" we
might have said, which supplies
about tenth of the flowers cf the
world Flowering, as they do at
at the same season of the year, and
growing. as they-do; very frequent
ly, side by side, goldenrod and
daisies form one of the most strik-
ing and distinctive features of
the North American landscape.
The daisies, it is true, are not the
f1owers which have inspired the
poets for so many centuries-not
the wee, modest, crimson tipped
flower, of Burns. That is BELLS
perennis of Britain and Europe, a
plant that lies low upon the ground,
with single flower on each stalk
totally unlike our plant, with its
towering form and branching stem.
Ours are astors, but old-fashioned
folk called them Miohaelmas dais-
les long ago. because they are in
full swing about the festival of st
Michael and ALI Angels, on Sep
tember 90. They have even been
oalled Christmas daisies, because
you can often gather a nosegay
of them at Christmas times in the
sheltered hooks of the woodland.
Only the initiated know how
beautiful these autumn flowers
make the country lanes. the paths
by the riverside and woodside; how
they hide with a mantle of sur
passing beauty the neglected fences
and waste lands and now when
other flowers are fast disappearing.
they come with burst compared
with which the rush of the spring
flowers is as nothing. The fight
of folk from the town to the coun-
try is nearly over when goldenrod
and daisies come, and, ignorant of
the feast of color prepared for them,
few care to seek the woodland in
the shortening days. If they could
only realize what there is in store
for them, the cooler weather and
geuial sunshine of an Indian sun
mer would tempt many who can
hear nature's voice when she calle
to- seek the hillside and valley,
where goldenrod and daisies can
be seen in their glory.
