matter-offact homicide. a common,
cowardly tenderloin MURDER" is the
way he termed it.
1t was-Jerome's summing-up speech
the last word in the famous trial be-
fore the judge intrusted the prisoners
fate to the jury. Jerome lashed Thaw
as with Il knout of a thousand fails.
1t was the most savage attack Of the
whole trial. There was not a dark
page in Thaw's life that was not turn
ed to the light of criticism and blame.
So fierce, so vindctive was Jerome that
there We're many who believed he was
purposely seeking to goad Thaw into
some Outburst. "IIe is guilty and
should be punished" was the burden
of his speech.
And following this terrific arraign-
ment which had turned the hopes of
Thaw and his relatives into forebod-
ings, came the judges charge to the
jury. AS the jurist. avoiding all eff.
forts at oratorical effect, went over the
facts and admonished the men who are
to decide on Thaw's fate to put aside
passion and prejudice and render
verdict strictly on the legal points at
issue, an expression Of abject terror
overspread the prisoners face. The
judges definition of insanity sufficient
to cause an acquittal dampened the
hopes even of the prisoners lawyers.
After celebrating for more than
eighteen hours without being able to
reach an agreement, the jurors report
ed before Justice Fitzgerald Thursday
morning and asked permission to ex-
anime a large number of the exhibits
introduced during the trial
After having been out thirty-one
hours and still unable to agree upon q
verdict, the jury which had Harry
Thaw's fate in its hands was locked
up for the second night, Thursday,
shortly before midnight.

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by Phil
potts Novels.


Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic DevOnshire, in his fascinat-
ing novels, 1.-The River" Children Of
the Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
BidefOrd, North Devon, states:
For 80 years | drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner, but some 5 years
ago found that it was producing indi.
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when l realized this, made up my
mind that to quit drinking coffee and
having read Of Postum, l concluded to
try it. 1 had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end Of a week,
that I no longer suffered from either
indigestion, heartburn, or brain-fag,
and that l could drink it at night and
secure restful and refreshing sleep.
"Since that time we have entirely dis
continued the use OF the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder and fondcr Of
Postum as time goes On. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, result due to

when properly made it is most refresh
ing and agreeable, Of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however, nec-
essary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which 1t

ness from the cereal" Name given by

not less than $4,000. How many times
at sum it cost the defense may never
be known, though conservative esti-
mates place it at $235,O0O. And at its
close matters stand just where they did
before. The jury was out over forty
seven hours. and on the eighth and
last ballot stood seven for murder in
the first degree, which would carry
with it the death penalty. and five for
acquttal on the ground of insanity.

nearly every word of which was like
the blow of lash on Thaw and his
girl wife, Justice Fitzgerald charged
the jury in manner that seemed to
dry up every vestige of hope for Stan
ford Whites slayer. And then the
case was given to the jury.
The closing day Of the trial proceed
ings was the most dramatic since the
prisoners wife recited her pitiful story
on the witness stand. District Attor-
ney Jerome dissected the argument of
Mr.. Delmas for the defense and tore it
to shreds. Selling upon incidents in
Thaw's life he pictured the prisoner as
a man whose character was as black as
that of Stanford White, and Evelyn
Nesbit he portrayed as girl anything

Nervous breakdown is often gradual,

Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: "About four years
ago this September I became all run

chemists establishment in Boston, q

success because of the immense amount
of detail that must be carried in the head.

These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ntaxia. AS tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.

however, cannot take place for some
