prospect the case will go to the jury
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning
AS far az the plaintiff was concerned,
the examination OF reputation witnesses
was uniform, in each case amounting to
two or three questions. In each case the
witnesses said Dennison's reputation was
good. Attorney Van Dusen devoted the
cross-examination largely to questions as
to whether or not the fact he mad run a
gambling house or had been charged with
crimes affected his general reputation.

the water company, Mayor James c. Dahl
man, F. A. Nash OF the electric light com
pany, Fred Hoye, former councilman

ing Dennisons reputation was good as far
as he knew.
Attorney Van Dusen, for the defense
sub jected Dennlson to a close cross-ex-
animation, lasting several hours. The lat
ter part of his cross-examination related
to his statements OF expense submitted to
Frank Sherclif. He said one OF these
statements was for Se7OO, expended partly
in getting Shercliff out of the peniten-
tiary. One item was s2,50O, given to q. H.
Mcmillan, a Cedar Rapids newspaper man,
for assisting In securing the parole Of
shereliff. Dennison admitted he had used
the name E. w. Blunt while visiting the
penitentiary at Fort Madison. but denied
he had ever used the name at any other
time OF place.
Frank Williams, an ex-convict from Cass
county, testified to seeing Sherciff and
Dennison make out the expense account
which was to be submitted to Shercllff' $
mother for the purpose OF getting money
from his fathers estate. Dennison testi-
fed he had let Shercliff have the sums of
money mentioned in the expense account
with the understanding Shercliff had 81, 500
and interest coming from the estate. Will
lIams testimony corroborated that Of Den
4 nison regarding the statement.

THE RUBBER TREE.
How the Milk Is Treated After the
 Plant is Tapped.

Para rubber is obtained from large tree sixty feet high. The trees are tap ped in the evening. and the juice Is collected on the following morning. A deep horizontal ineision is made near the base of the tree, and then from fi q vertical one extending up the trunk. with others at short distances in an obiique direction. Small shallow cups made from clay and dried in the sud are placed below the incisions to re- ceiye the milk, each cup being attach ed by sticking piece of soft clay to the tree and pressing the cup against it. Each tree yields only about six ounces of juice in three days.
 To produce the rubber the juice Is heated in the following manner: A piece of wood about three feet long. with a fiattened clay mold at one end of it, is dipped In the milk, or this is placed over it as evenly as possible. The milk Is then carefully dried by turning the mold round and round in a white yapor obtained by heating cer- tain oily palm nuts, the yapor being confined within certain limits by the narrowness of the neck of the pot in which the nuts are heated. Each layer of rubber is allowed to become firm before adding another A practiced hand can make five Or six pounds an hour.-New York American.

WEARING TROUSERS.
At One Time the Custom Was Regard
 ed as irreliqious.

VI aS hfCliStSdas
 It will assuredly seem more than strange that at one time, and not so long ago. the wearing of trousers was regarded as irreligious.
 The fact that fn October, 1872, an order was made by St. Johns and Trinity colleges that every young man who appeared in hall or chapel in pan taloons or trousers should be consid- cred as absent IS startling enough, but it would appear that eight years later the founders of q Bethel chapel at Sheffield inserted clause in the trust deed ordaining that under no circum stances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy the pulpit who wears trousers"
 This is striking, but 1t is even more impressive to find that the Rev Hugh Bourne. one of the two founders of the Primitive Methodist Connexion. said of his cofounder, "That trousers wearing. beer drinking Cloves will never get to heaven" And it would need student Of "the Brooches BibleF to say precise ly when this assumed ''connexion" be tween theology and trousers began and where the departure from 1t will end London Notes and Queries.

Salt.

Tn the appearance of salt, as seen ig everyday use on the table, in the kitch en and elsewhere. there is apparently nothing particularly historic, but il reality there is. In 1920 B. c. Nose: asked. "Can anything which is m savory be eaten without salt?"
 The Jews in ancient times were com manded to use salt in their sacrifices.
 Herodotus. born 4S4 B. C., notes tha the Egyptians preserved meat, fish ant fowl by steeplng them in brine.
 The Hebrews invariably rubbed new born babies with a solution of salt tC harden tke skin, make it healthy ant prevent skin diseases.
 Wherever salt is spoken of in ancient writings it is in most emphatic Ian guage, showing the great importance it possessed for our Pear sons.
