A Sweet Noice.

The loud voice, the boisterous
laugh, the noisy behavior, emanating
from the pretty, tastefully dressed
woman, are unmstakable evidence of
an inner vulgarity, unsupported were
she merely judged by her appearance.
Insincerity, too is nearly always be-
trayed by tho voice. 1t even more
than the eyes, is the interpreter Of
the heart. The face may deceive the
the observer by its masque, but the
voice rarely. If the speaker lack sim
certify, heart goodwill, though the
words be fair and all that is correct,
there Is that in the voice that betrays
the lack, some flatness or unrespons-
iveness that "reverbs the hollowness."
1t is not the physical defect in the
voice-for this, though regrettable, is
not the fault of the possessor-that
mars it, so much as the lack of the
moral quality, If one may be permit
ed the expression.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
q 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

Coin for the Bride,

In Holland when a girl is betrothed,
1t is the custom to place a money box,
often in the form of a china pig,
which must be broken before its con-
tents can be taken out, on the hall
table, or some other conspicuous
place, and every one who calls is ex-
pected to drop a coin into it, which
goes to help in furnishing the young
couples house. If the sum put in is
a large one paper is generally at
tached to 1t with the name of the
given written on it, 1t is really a
more sensible arrangement than that
by which a mass of often useless
presents is bestowed on bride.

STATE OF NEBRASKA
WINS ONCE MORE

The state of Nebraska has again
won victory in the interior depart
ment in the matter of the Boyd coun-
ty lands which have been claimed by
squatters. The state has now won
repeated victories in the department
of the interior and one decisive VIC
tory in the state courts, after repeat
ed attempts by the squatters to Sc
cure title through the legislature and
the state board of educational lands
and funds. A former board. or the
majority of it, including Attorney
General Prou-, and Secretary of State
Marsh, once voted to deed the land to
the squatters, but Land Commissioner
Follmer declined to attach his sigma
ture and as a result the property was
saved to the state.
Land Commissioner II. M. Eaton
has received notice of a ruling on the
last appeal case taken by the squat
| ters to the department of the interior.
| The appeal was filed there by G. w.
McCright. The point raised by Nc
Cright was that a former state land
commissioner had made a choice OF
lieu lands in Cherry county and that
the state laid claim to the land he
occupies subsequent to the date of the
settlement thereon by him.
The interior department now holds
that the state had the right to make
its choice of the lands set apart for
that purpose and that the prior oc
cupation of the land by McCright did
not defeat that right.

Happlness.

Happiness Is the end OF every mans
philosophy, whether ne be a phillso-
pher of the schools or a philosopher
of the fields and shops. But the ques-
ton is, what is happiness?" What
constitutes III" Most OF what we
thought was happiness had the bitter
OF selfshness, but when our happi-
ness consists in making others happy
and helping them in their hour OF
need, there are no dregs in the cup
we drink. And II there were, we
would never know It, for this cup of
Joy is always full, and further. as long
as we live there will be those who
need our help, and consequently we
cannot exhaust the contents of this
cup.

This is said to be the best showing
ever made by the board at the close
of the fair. 1t is more remarkable
as some of the members of the board
had spent considerable time on the
two rainy days figuring the amount
of the deficit and wondering how they
could raise money enough to pay out.
At the beginning of the fair the
board was just about even with the
world in all departments. Because of
the fact that there was no balance in
the treasury the members of the board
were fearful of a deficit

nesses, are Col. Wv. Smith, OF To
peka, Kan. Senator Burton's privatl
secretary, who corroborated part o
the senator's testimony, and Former
Judge Chester H. Krum, who had
charge of Senator Burton's defense al
his former trial, and who testified
that his associates in preparing fol
the trial of Maj. Dennis, president Of
the Rialto company, had been Mr.
Harlan and Senator Burton. !
Before any testimony was introduced
Judge Vandevanter delivered an opin-
ion in which he held that the defense
would be permitted to introduce evil
dence to which an objection was sus-
tanned Thursday. for the purpose Of
showing that the post Office inspectors
had communicated to the Rialto Grain
and Securities company at a time
previous to the employment Of Senator
Burton by the Rialto company, that
the investigation had not shown the
necessity for the issuance of fraud
order.
Under this ruling Post ONCE Inspec-
tor M. G. Price was recalled by the de-
Tense.
Mr.. Price testified that he had made
a report to his superior. inspector
Dice, that the condition Of the Rialto
company was not such that fraud
order was necessary, but said he did
not remember telling any one con-
nected with the Rialto company any
thing to that effect.
Senator Burton was then called to
the stand. He was sworn and seated
himself in the witness chair, leaning
slightly forward and answering an
questions in a clear, distinct voice and
apparently without hesitation or
forethought. He frequently anticipated
his counsel's questions beginning his
replies before the completion Of the
interrogation.
The senator's testimony in the be.
ginning followed closely that given In
the former trial, with the exception
that in describing his conversation with
Thomas D. Harlan in regard to what

BURTON CONVICTED.
The Jury Declares the Senator
from Kansas Guilty.
he WILL APPEAL IOSUPRENE COURT
The Law Permits Penalty Of Net to Ex-
coed Two Years Imprisonment
and $4,000 Fins ON
Each Of the Six OOants.

st. Louis, Nov. 27.-Joseph r. Bur-
ton, senior senator from Kansas, at
12:45 o'clock Sunday morning, was
found guilty by a Jury In the United
Statee court Of violating section 1882
Of the revised statutes Senator Bur-
ton was found guilty on counts /, Q,
3, 6, 7 and 8, counts A and having
been dismissed by the governments at
torneys.
Senator Burton was not taken into
custody by the marshal on request OF
his counsel, who promised to produce
him In court at 10 o'clock Monday
morning. $685..
The marshal was notified at 12:45
o'clock that the jury had reached an
agreement. Senator Burton was in the
court room at the time. With him were
Thomas T. Kelly, the state treasurer
Of Kansas; William p. Hackney Of
Winfield, Col. w. W. Smith, Burton's,
secretary. Mr.. Lehman and Mr..
Haynes, attorneys for Burton, were
called In from the corridors and Col
Dyer and Gen. Robb from the United
States marshal's office. 1t was a solemn
and oppressive occasion when the clerk
called the roll Of the jurors. The
deathlike silence In the courtroom was
broken only by the voice Of the clerk
and the response Of the Juror.
When the verdict had been read and
each Of the Jurors had responded that
1t was their verdict Judge Vandeven-
ter thanked them for their careful at
tention to the very important case.
Senator Burton will be called before
Judge Vandeventer at ten o'clock Mon
day morning to receive sentence The
maximum penalty for the offense is
Imprisonment for two years and a fine
Of 10000 on each Of the six counts on
which Senator Burton was found gull
ty.
Senator Burtons attorneys stated
Sunday night that they would immedi-
ately ask for a new trial. 1t is prac-
tically certain that Judge vandeventer
will override the motion, and then a
notice Of appeal will be filed.
Neither Frederick H. Lehman Of
St. Louis, nor w. X. Haynes of Chi
sage, counsel for Senator Burton,
would state the grounds upon which
the appeal will be based. There is
little doubt however, that 1t will be
commended that the trial court erred
in denying Mr.. Lehmanns motion to
dismiss the entire indictment on
grouds Of lack of Jurisdiction in re-
gard to the counts charging that SEN
ator Burton agreed to receive compen-
sation for acting as an attorney be-
fore the postofflce department; and
that 1t was not shown in the evidence
adduced by the government that Sena-
tor Burton ever received compensation
for performing any such services.
II is also probable that the bill of
exceptions will contain reference to the
cross-examination Of Senator Burton
upon certain matters which we're not
rN'erred to In the examination In
chief. Those parts of the testimony to
which the objections of the defense
were overruled will complete the bill.
Senator Burton remained at the
hotel all day. He denied him
self to visitors and refused requests

senator Burton lsc-stified that Cochran

Il then told Cochran that had been
led to believe that the complaints grew
out Of the operations Of former con-
Germ. and that had been assured that
the Rialto company was all right.
then inquired casually about the pro-
ceedure In cases Of Investigation, tell
ing Cochran that I had no intention
of appearing before the department
as the company's attorney and that the
questions were prompted by desire
to ascertain what to avoid in my deal
lngs with the department"
Senator Burton testified to the visit
paid to Washington by Attorney Har-
Ian and declared the object Of the
meeting was entirely discussion of
the indictments which were threat
ened against Maj. Dennis. He said
their whole conversation was on that
subject.
In reply to counsel's questions Sen
ator Burton denied that he had any
intention, or so far as he knows indi-
Gated any such intention by hts lam
guage Of influencing Post Office In
spector Cochran or any other govern
ment Official in the performance of
his duties.
The eyes Of all in court were fast

St. Louis, Nov. 23.-Rapid progress
has been made In the trial of United
States Senator Burton, Of Kansas
charged with rendering services as an
attorney before the post-oftlce depart
ment at Washington In violation Of the
federal statutes and 1t now appears
probable the case will go to the jury
not later than Saturday.
The government has taken several
short cuts In Its presentation Of testi-
mony, and Judge Vandeventer has
saved time by his sharp, decisive rul-
ings, and his admonitions to counsel
to conAne themselves strictly to the

Judge Vandeventer announced that he
overruled the objections made by the
government late Tuesday afternoon to
certain questions asked by counsel for
