General Childs' Argument Saturday.

General Childs argument Saturday
afternoon was devoted to Asa Brooks,
the hammer and handkerchief, and to
the motive. He said in part: ~
One fact rises out of this evidence

Brooks says that the man that he saw
resembled the defendant.
Like every other murderer, this one
made o great mistake. He forgot his
hammer and handkerchief. He left his
card behind him. When it was washed
out, there appeared; on the handkerchief
the initials G.. R. X. The handkerchief
became piece of evidence of trans

Motive for Crime.

Turning to the question of motive,
General Childs asked: Why should the
defendant kill DR.. Gebhardt9 IF per-
son is influenced by any great passion,
il. can be read on his face or heard In
his zspeech.''
Mr.. Childs referred to the testimony
Of Ole Ulen and Hialmar Hoidale, to
show the; feeling that DR.. Koch enter
tanned toward DR.. Gebhar1t before the
homicide. He referred to the telephone
rick while the defendant was calling
there early on the evening Of the homi-
eide "Why did the defendant use the
name of DR.. Gebhardt there9,' he asked.
You get there some inkling Of the
meaning Of the words testified to by Mr..
Hoidale as having been used by DR..
Koch in reference to Dr.. Gebhart. Ii
tends to show that there was ranking in
the heart of the defendant that night
the spirit Of jealousy. -

Chinese Methods of Justice.

An English traveller writes: BE
fore the war began in Manchuria
came down the Lao river with Rus
sian expedition. We fought the chun-
chuses (Chinese robbers) every after
noon about tea time, but rarely in
fiicted any damage on them, because
they hid in the crops. One evening
we got desperate and pursued them
through the kaoliang fields, with a
complete lack of success, only to find
on our return that the Chinese magis-
trate who accompanied us had col
Jared twelve Cinnamon supposed to be
chunchuses and had them all tied to a
pole by their pigtails. It was the bust
ness of the Chinese authorities to
deal with all captures, so these twelve
men were practically condemned to
die. In company with the missionary,
who was interpreter for the expedition,
pressed for an inquiry. The result
was that six of the victims were
proved to belong to a theatrical COM
pany which was stranded in the neigh
boring village. They were instantly
released. One of the others was sub
jected to a more rigid examination
and died under the lash. Owing to
this untoward incident the rest were
set free. But it was pure luck that
the whole twelve were not beheaded."

where we can hide, right here on the
plantation, yet which no one has ever
heard of before, and no one, except

to know anything about, sounds very
strange and incredible. Did your

madame, 1t surely is safer to trust this
man, who tells us that Captain Jean

I'VE dare not stay, and SO we must
trust him. said Madame. with weak
attempt at resolution, as she slid a
jewel-box into the bundle Violet was
preparing to fasten.
Old Zei-oy had come over from
Kanauhana, having insisted upon be-
Ing taken away with her beloved
young mistress; and now she entered
the room to announce that Captain
Jean was below stairs.
Never had his arrival at the planta-
ton been so welcome as now. Mad
anne Riefet, catching up her out-of-
door wraps from the bed. ordered that
the various bundles be brought down
stairs; for the phlegmatic Barbe had
finished tying up the last one as Chloe

scarf for her head. while Ma'am Brig

Heat Gives children Holiday.

1.-THE heat holiday" said school
teacher, ''is Swiss novelty that we
ought to introduce here. 1t is not
right for us to treat our school chill
dren in the matter of weather as we
do.
1.-THE Swiss have a maximum tenn
perature for school. When the Their
mometer goes above that maximum,
there is no school, whether the month
be April, May or September. The chill
dren, in the insufferable heat, are free
to battle in tinkling brooks, to picnic
in cool groves, or to boat on the wind
swept lakes.
1.-THE Swiss recognize that we can
impose no greater suffering on little
children than to confine them for long
hours at stretch in an intolerably
hot school room. They know that
children cannot. under such condi-
tions. learn a thing. Hence the school
directors are wise enough, by making
these heat holidays, to save the teach
ers and the children much misery and
much wasted time"

Australla,s Rabbit PLAQUE.

The last spell of heat cleared off a
multitude of rabbits directly around
Broken Hill, and although there are
still many about, they are not nearly
SO plentiful as few weeks ago.
However apparently there has been
no diminution on the holdings a few
miles from Broken Hill. At one we'll
known station the lessee has been
trapping the rabbits at the tank when
they come to drink. In this way no
fewer than $4,000 rabbits have been
exterminated at one tank in fort
night. A CARLOAD containing 700 rab-
bits. was put on the scales and
weighed one ton.-Melbourne Argus.

Free Certificate for Himself.

The following story is told of the
late DR.. James C. Swan, physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater. Mass, and the surround
ing towns.
This generous If not alluring offer
was made by him to the pernicious
father of an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
sons admission to the insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell of the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
Nov. see here" he said, sharply;
you just pay me for this one, and I'll
gle you certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it, for nothing"

Back for HI. Umbrella.

Joseph M. Stoddart, whose acquaint-
ance among authors and artists ex-
tends over two hemispheres and half
century Of activity, tells this story
of meeting with Edgar Saltus, novel
list and wit, in London few months
ago. Il had just arrived in London
from Liverpool, and was hurrying
down Fleet street, when l came face
to face with Saltus," said Mr.. Stodart.
He drawled an inquiry as to where
l was hurrying from, and / remarked
that was just over from New York.

CHAPTER xxx.

Less than week later, one early
afternoon, the members OF the house

direction of Lake Borgne.
What mad happened was this: An
English feet. with twelve hundred
men, had. with the intention of throw

Borgne and Pontchartain. sailed into
Lake Borgne and opened an attack up
on the Americans, whose presence
was a surprise to the enemy, as Capt.
Lockyer, commanding the latter. had
understood that this point was de-
fenseless.
A fierce battle followed, resulting in
partial victory for the English, who
were now masters of Lake Borgne.
It was the Shapiro who. late in the
afternoon. brought this news to La

WHERE MONEY is NOT GOOD.
Natives of the Philippine Islands Have
No Use for Cash.

Writing from one of the Philippine

Rhoades says that one of the greatest
difficulties he has encountered is to
get the natives to understand anything
about money. He says:
Il talked with Spaniard who has
little store here, and ne told me they
have never used money; that the only
thing they ever bought was rice and
clothing, and for 1t they always
brought copra in exchange. So now

EXPLOSION TELLS OF DANGER.
Means Of Giving Alarm Of Fire Before

The essential fundamental requisite
OF any system of fire protection is an
early alarm. or indication of the pres

before fire actually breaks out in
flames. Prompt Indication of fire gen.
orally means its early extinction and
an audible signal of some sort is the
only one that can be relied upon invar-
iably to attract attention. A novel
alarm of this class that has been
worked out in detail by an inventor,
says the Baltimore American, provides
