dramatic Closing of Orchards
Characterization

sought for it in Orchards effort to
bring Steve Adams over to the state,
and then in the subsequent meetings
with Mcfarland and Governor Good
ing. Again they emphasized the
fact that the witness had twice writ
ten his testimony out, but Orchard
repelled the suggestion tiat it had
been changed by MCFARLAND, Attor-
ney Hawley, or anybody else. After
that 1t was suggested that Orchard
had placed his future in the keeping
of Mcfarland; that the Pinkertons
had sent money to his family in Can.
ada; that he had been supplied with
dates to strengthen his story, and
that Mcfarland had trained him as

ance Oh the stand, but all these Or
chard denied
Then they tried to show him a
pampeIed, petted, hero-like prisoner,
fed from the table of the warden, ad /.
dressed as ''Harry" ny the governor
of Idaho and Warden Whitney, given
freedom and liberties that no other
prisoner ever had in the world, and
all this consideration implying
directly that he would never be
hanged for killing Steunenberg.
Then came a showing as to how the
prisoner had been dressed and
grnomed for the trial, and lastly,
for climax, they showed Orchard
pleading for and saving the life of
Bob Wetter, condemned to death for
murder Orchard admitted that be
had appealed to Governor GoodiDg
about Wetter, and that later Goodiug
first reprieved Wetter and then com
muted his sentence Of death to one of
life Imprisonment.
Orchard left the stand at 2:3O
O'Clock, after having occupied it for
a total of 80 l-2 hours. Just before
! he was excused and remanded he went
back to the hands of the prosecution
and identified the casing Of the bomb
he planted at the gate of Judge God
/ dard's house in Denver. Orchard
is to return to the witness chair later,
/ because the defense must lay the
formal lines for impeaching him and
the state must still have its redirect
examination.
CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE
When Orchard left the stand the
state began the corroboration Of the
Bradley poisoning story. Mrs. Sadie
Swan, who, as Miss Sadie Bell, was
a maid in the Bradley home; Oliver
Crook, the milkman, who sold the
milk that was poisoned, and P. l.
McCreary, the chemist who analysed
the poisoned milk, carried the re-
Voting tale through to the analysis
that showed from 4 to 8 grains o
strychnine in q quart Of it. Mrs
Swan identified Orchard and con
nected him with the house, the.
all confirmed the date as within
three or four days of the explosi OF
and Mrs. Swan swore that she openeC

KNOW WHATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
f. Quantity in the Local
Stores.
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take MaiI-Order
House Goods on Faith-keep
the Money Of the Commu-
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan-
disc he is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality is first
class, and whether the quantity is all
that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have a fair idea as
to whether the price asked is a fair
one or not.
But how is it when he attempts to
buy of the big mai! order houses of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are Offering
is what the catalogue says, and the
catalogue is prepared with the one OBJ
ject in view of selling the goods.
When the consumer buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
has purchased were not as represent
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
of the mail order house in the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.
1t is cheap goods and short weight
that is making mail order house
profits. They can buy but little, ii

The Poor Rich .Roy.

Instead of sympathy for the chance
less poor hoy, we should rather pity
the rich boy. What opportunity has
he to become more than an ornament
or mere owner? AS Riley makes
the Old Hoosier say: whats more
pathetiher than just a-being rich?'
Out of sheer humanity something
ought to be done for the boy whose
father has money. Genius is not con-
fined to poor and humble birth, says
the New York Globe. 1t should be
possible for the chap whose mother
wore a diamond sunburst really to
rise in the world. The cottage and the
cabin have become too arrogant
brewn-stone fronts also have their
rights. File on a civilization that OPENS
the door of opportunity only to the

Impure Air,


The Importance of ventilation and Of
a constant supply of fresh air in liv-
lng-roOms and wherever man abides,
whether sleeping or waking, has often
been mentioned in these columns.
Without air life is impossible, and I'M
less that air be moderately pure,
health cannot be maintained, although
1t is astonishing, and proof of the
wonderful adaptation OF living beings
to their environment, to note how
great an amount of impure air can be
endured with seeming impunity. There
are two forms of impurity in the air
gaseous and solid. The gases, those
resulting from the calculations from
the lungs, and in city houses from the
little, unnoticed leaks from the gas
pipes and from defective plumbing, are
the most injurious. For the removal
of these, says New York Weekly, free
ventilation from open windows and
open fireplaces is most emcacious, but
1t is Of little service in the removal of
the other kind Of impurity; that is to
say, the solid particles of natter
dust-which are always floating in the
air of houses as we'll as in that of the
streets. A beam of sunlight entering
through a half-closed shutter makes
visible this dust, and as one looks with
startled eyes on the beam, which
lights up the floating particles, the
wonder grows that the lungs are not
made solid by this stream of dust in
hailed with every breath. Fortunately,
the nose and the moist lining of the
air-tubes are designed to filter the air
by arresting these particles before
they can enter the delicate air
chambers of the lungs. They do their
work we'll, but not perfectly, and the
greater the amount of dust the more
they fail in their functions.

Margin Between Success and Failure.

The forces that play upon business
are too vast and complicated for any
mortal to grasp. No doubt there is
law in them, but it's arc sweeps far
beyond merely human ken. When
John w. Gates says that all he asks
is to be right in 81 cases out of hun
dred, he indicates the common ex-
perience. To succeed in business,
says Will Payne in Every body's, is not
in the least to know what to-morrow's
conditions are going to be- If it were,
there would be no successes, for no.
body can do that. 1t is to see the
condition as it actually arises and to
move with it courageously Sometimes
you can't move fast enough. Your
foot Is caught in the frog. Then the
incident of failure occurs. In the case
of a good business man that means
simply that this particular one of the
forty-odd times when he was wrong
happened to be especially important.
His actual business ability may be
vastly superior to that of a host of
men who never failed.

any, cheaper than your lo:al merchant
can. First-Quality, standard merchan-
disc is manufactured Oh very mar
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi-
dends on enormous capital if they can
sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity of merchan-
disc at the prices they ask Your
local merchant could do the same
thing, but you would not buy the same
goods of your local merchant that you
buy of the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here is an item clipped from the
Parma, Mich, News which shows the
nefarious system of the mail order
concerns, and how they victimize their
patrons:
"A farmer purchased two sacks of
binding Irvine of a large Chicago cata-
logue house, and upon it's arrival this
morning ball was unrolled and meas
ured with a ball of Plymouth Irvine
sold by local dealers, when it was
found that the Chicago article was just
306 feet short of that sold at home.
There being ten balls in sack, it will
be seen that the farmer lost 6,120 feet,
or over mile of Irvine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then, too,
the mail order house product was of
an inferior quality, being full of knots,
and one farmer standing near during
the measuring process remarked that
it would never work Oh binder. Now
We wish to ask you, does it pay to
trace at home? If there is anyone
who is skeptical of this story, just
call and we will show ytu."-Parma,
Mich, News.
Bankrupt stock, merchandise that
reliable jobbers would net handle be-
cause OF its poor qualit+, the refuse
Of the factories made owe, into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons of the mail ortler houses
are buying. Here is an extract from
an article that appeared in the Sioux
Falls, 8. D. Leader:
1.-The natl order house selling vehi-
cles by the catalogue route, is more
than pirate, it is turkey-buzzard.
It takes the freaks and failures that

tries to stihe legitimate business by
