day the defense exercised it's first
challenge by relieving Allen Price,
farmer, at No. 5. Mr.. Pride had tes-
titled during his examination that he
had invited to dinner the deputy who
served him with a jury summons. He

larly upon Harry Orchard who is to
be the principal witness for the state.

Pride, but his examination was de-
ferred until tomorrow.
AS the work of jury selection pro-
crosses, the difficulties in the way of
completing the panel seem, EVEN to be

When n Man Lies.

IF you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth, don't look him in the eyes,"
said Denver bank teller to some
friends last night II thought it was just
the other way" said one Of those pres
ent. 1--WE always understood that it
made it harder for the liar If you looked
squarely In his eyes," That's a wrong
impression" continued the bank teller.
''The man who knows how to lie knows
how to look you in the eyes when he's
doing it. And the man who isn't
regular liar, but who has made up his
mind to lie to you, decides first that
he must look you straight in the eyes.
It is the voice, when you don't looE at
the eyes, that tells you whether the
other fellow is lying. We use the sys-
tenn frequently in the bank. A man
will come in to tell us some business
tale. We look at his feet or his hands
or his knees, but never in his eyes.
If he's telling the truth his voice will
be firm and straightforward, and the
absence Of your gaze in his eyes will
not affect it, but If he's lying he'll be
confused by your action, and his voice
will temble. He'll hem and haw and
clear his throat. You may rest as
sUred then that he's stringing you

A Native african Food.

The native food Of the Malunda coun-
try, In southern Africa, comprises ma.
moe and that alone. 1t is a plant par.
ticularly adapted to wet, marshy SOIL,
says the author of In Remotest Ba-
rotseland." It takes two years to arrive
at maturity and while growing re-
quires very little attention. The root
when full grown Is about the size and
has very much the appearance Of a
German sausage, although at times it
grows much larger. One shrub has
several roots, and the extraction Of two
or three in no way impairs the growth
OF the remainder. When newly dug it
tastes like chestnut, and the digestion
of the proverbial ostrich can alone as
simulate it raw, but when soaked in
water for few days until partly de
composed, dried on the roofs of the
huts and stamped it forms a delight
fully white soft meal, far whittier and
purer than the best -four Then it is
beaten into thick paste and eaten
with q little favoring composed Of
locust or caterpillar, which the ma
tlves seek in decayed trees. Another
way Of eating this native luxury Is by
baking the roots after soaking them
and eating it as you would banana.
