much so that you had to stay in bed
day or two?"
81 did"

Gould you swear to any event that

that week."
Il don't recollect."
Gould You swear 1t was not Thurs
day you saw them-saw them meet?"
No, sir, l couldn't; but l think it
was the Friday before"
Mr.. Barnstead, slightly flushed and
irate. left the witness stand.
Mrs. Hamiton's testimony came
next, and was given in a graceful.
though shrinking manner, She re
lated the various tests to which she
had subjected the two claimants at
various times, and said that both haG
responded readily. but that the de
PENDANT invariably hesitated Tor a
moment before replying. but that the
plaintif did not.
The judge at this juncture proposed
that she subject them to some test
in the presence of the jury. if there
was any point which remained unset
tied in her own mind.
"There is one" said Mrs. Hamilton
is it of a nature to be conclusive?r
he asked.
Il think it is. 1t is something that

husband does.

it if l wore it. He laughed and said
he would take care of it for me. and
he did. never asked to know where
he kept it, and he never told me-"
"One claimant may be taken into
the next room while the other one
answers said the judge THE plain
tiff, as the first party, may remain
and answer first"
There was decided stir in the
court room at the proposition, so out
of the usual course; and as the de-
PENDANT arose and walked into the
small Office adjoining the court room
yet beyond hearing the audience
hardly breathed, SO deep was the
feeling in expectation of something
unusual about to take place.
But the answer was commonplace
enough.
Il took it to the bank" said the
plaintiff.
For what purpose was the button
used?"
My wife fastened her night-robe
with it

(Phoenix Republican,

A we'll known citizen of this part of the country who has been employed at Roosevelt for some time, arrived in the city cn Saturday with $S5. He got to Plunging and in the course of tue day and evening he took money from the games amounting to $50. He was ~egrlar plunger But that night he lost SaS5, so he was just even or a little more than even. The beauti. ful jag which he was wearing had really cost him nothing. He was that much ahead of the game but still he was not happy. He had such a tend ency toward grouchiness that the con stables had to take him in. He was before Justice Johnstone yesterday. By that time he had come to full req lization of the kind of burro he had made of himself. He said that it was the first time he had ever been arrest ed and the first time he had ever broken any law He wanted to go back to work. He was fined ST, which he promised to pay out of the first fruits of his labors.

Good music is a powerful tonic to
many people, especially those suf-
fering from melancholia. 1t lifts
them out OF their solemn moods, dis
pels gloom and despondeacy, kills dis
couraged feelings and gives new hope,
new life and new vigor. 1t seems to
put a great many people in proper
tune. 1t gives them the keynote OF
truth and beauty, strikes the chords
of harmony, dispels discord from the
life, scatters clouds and brings sun
shine. All good music is a character
builder, because its constant sugges-
tion of harmony, order and beauty
puts the mind into a normal attitude
Music clears the cobwebs out OF many
minds so that they can think better
act better and live better.

Cotton has been grown in Peru
from prehistoric times, so the United
States consul at Callao informs the
state department. Notwithstanding
the antiquity of the industry, how
ever, it is not one Of great Importance
If American standards be used as cri-
terra, for in 1892 the value Of the
whole of Peru's crop, including the
value of the seed, was only $2,021,'
O5O Five or six varieties are grown
but only that known as Peruvian
rough seems Indigenous to the coun'
try. Among the others are Egyptian
and Sea Island, though it Is said the
Egyptian is in reality the common up
land cotton of the United States
Most of the coarser cotton is con
sumed by mills OF Peru. The product
of these mills in 1904 was 2o,0o0,oOC
yards.

Secretary Wilson proposes to ere
organize" again. He has a compre-
hensive plan for the reorganization
Of the crop-reporting section of the
department. off agriculture The
plan will make an increased appro-
priation necessary for the bureau.
which now requires about $4,000 a
year. The chief feature of the plan is
the abandonment Of the policy of col
lecting reports on crop conditions
from various sources and assembling
them in Washington to be passed on
by cne man as the head of the divis-
ion. There will be, instead, thirty
five district chiefs, one each in the
cotton and cereal states, who will CO.
operate with the weather bureau Of
fee at the principal stations in each
state These district chiefs will t av-
el throughout their districts constant
ly and will receive reports from town
ship reporters. The country reports
will continue to come to the depart-
ment at Washington. These changes
come partly as a result of the criti-
cism made by the Keep commission
in its report TO the president. The
commission asserted that unless pres
ent methods could be improved, II
would be better 20 abandon the crop.
