A MOCK TRIAL IN
EIGHTH GRADE
David FOhS, Judge and Aubrey Cannon
Defendant,
VERY INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE

Marion, KY, Dec. 7,-(Special)-
Friday afternoon, a mock trial by
eight grade room pupils. David
FOhs acted as judge, VERNE Stem
ridge prosecuting attorney with
Maure Boston as his assistant, Grover
Newcom Sheriff. The Defendant,
Aubrey Cannon, was tried for breach
of the peace and was ably defended
by 0rlin Moore and Galen Dixon,
Attorneys.
A jury of six girls with Marion
Clement as foreman heard the evil
dence given by witnesses for both
sides. As there we're many witnesses
and the evidence exceedingly con-
ficting, girls on the other side of the
room having peen to much engaged
with their love affairs to have seen
the fight. 1t was hard for the jury
to arrive at a decision, especially af-
ter hearing the able argument of the
opposing lawyers. After being out
some time they returned verdict of
guilty, placing the fine at fifty dol
lars. The Judge solemly read the
sentence, after which the court dis
missed by his honor.
The trial fully represented a court
to the civics class. They learned
from the trial that not always do the
witnesses tell the truth and it is not
every jury that will give people JUS
tice according to the testimony and
arguments. y PRINcIPALr

"A SMALL THING"

Do you believe in progress? Do You
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments Of the nineteenth century-the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light, kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.-have made
life easier and better worth living? l
do. / believe that a man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries Of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth CEN
fury were triumphs of human service
the placing Of knowledge and the
fruits of knowledge within the reach
of the common man. Every mans
life is better, happier, more secure be-
cause of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives in better and
more comfortable houses because Of
them. Even the hopeless dweller in
the worst city slums is more COM
Portable in his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen of the days Of
George Washington.
In little things as In great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
of the Century of Improvement"
Paint, in a certain sense, is minor
matter, yet 1t gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property we'll painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands Of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet a can of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study of generations of
skilled chemists, the toll Of a thou,
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of a long
series OF special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
Of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety Of tints, colors and shades.
1t was a wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of it's wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can Of paint.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
4 Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits Of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patients eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that 1t is difficult TO recall dates and
names twill. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies III toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. Sl4 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. IcOuld not rest or sleep well
at night and woke mp as weary and
lRnguid in the morning as was when
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when
sat down. My nerves were ON edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, asmy husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches,
sleep well and feel strong aud able to
do my work"
DR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men OF
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
In the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that a run was
to set in on a certain Monday morn.
ing-for it had been robbed Of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
m the newspaper reIorts-and if this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits tie bank would have to close
its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
Pot plenty Of cash. 1t needed "a hours
ume.
Before sunrise on Monday morning
Z man put fresh coat Of paint on the
front doors Of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who mada
the run on Monday made rather a
walk of 1t. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con-
tTary, they came on with caution and
elaboration. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that it took longer to pay OF one Of
them than it would have taken Or
dinarily to pay FIVE.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby, in a run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.
