al remarks in court. asserting that
his wife's testimony was absolute
truth and in conclusion declared tha,
Mrs. Thaw's natural and ''reai good
ness" was above The comprehension
Of the prosecuting officer.
1t was just before adjournment was
taken for the day and after many
hours of expert testimony as 10 what
was the meaning of extracts from
eight letters written by the defen-
dant with their relation 10 the sanity
or insanity of the writer that Thaw
gave out his statement in court The
circumstances attending the delivery
of the statement TO the newspaper
men were about as interesting Is the
statement itself, which reads:
"This is Mr. Thaw's second state
ment since August 10.
"With chances millions to one

1901, it is wonderful that Mrs. II
K. Thaw prevailed in the eross-ex.
animation against the prosecution
backed by black legs.
"Her testimony was absolute truth
"Our evidence was OF converse
tions. The cross-examination LA.
proved the exact facts under oath.
"Mr. Jerome finding his inform

Guided by more usual methods, whicl
is TO his credit
"However, from some of his ques
tions and some Of his unprofessiona
remarks in court, it appeared c!earl,
that the natural aad real goodness
of the witness is above his compre
hensioH."

they were written by a person of un

| This WIS the essence Cf the day
work Mr.. Jerome seemed as inter
estea as the expert in searching ou
the phrases in the letters whic
might be construed as the writing
of an insane man and for the frs
time the jurors were permitte

and the prosecutor pored tediousl
over the documents, the jurors wei

KEEPING CHILDREN
IN SCHOOL,

The way to keep children in school
Is to make the school the most val
liable place to them. The school
must be made attractive. We must
change front and recognize that the
school room is made for the child
and not for the teacher. At present
only the appurtenances OF the teach
er are placed in 1t and whatever
may be done for the children ia
done only because the teachers in.
terest can best be served by such
The schoolroom must be made for
children. AS the business is made
attractive and fixed up for custo-
mers and whatever is done for the
salespeople is done only because
thereby the best interests Of custo-
mers can be cared for so in the
schoolroom the interests OF the
children must be consulted and
those things done for children which
will make the schoolroom, next to
the home, the most attractive place.

When he arrays himself he will un-
doubtedIy wear with the suit white
enameled leather shoes. The genial
humorist has long been in rebellion
against the somber "claw-hammer'
effects borrowed from the court OF

Mr.. Clemens has decided that his
new evening wear shall be supple

which can be thrown over the shout
der. Such garments were worn by
grandees and cavaliers.
This broadcloth is OF a soft finish.
The suit was cut in strict accordance
with the prevailing mode. The
coat is lined throughout with white
silk. and the lapels are faced with
the same material. The collar is OF
cloth. for It was thought that white
velvet. which was permissible. would
easily become solid. The coat is
adorned with three white buttons I'm
front and two at the back. The
waistcoat, which has three buttons.
is OF the same material as the coat.
It's only ornamentation is a white
zigzag embroidery around the edges.
The trousers have white silk braid
down the outSide seams.
Mr.. Clemens announced a year ago
that he would thenceforth wear
white. because It correspondent to
the original costume mentioned in

pleading guilty to a SEVENTEEN birth
day not long ago, he said he con-
sidered himself old enough now to

THE MUNICIPAL

Give the municipal ownership

thing in reminding a public service

ownership in Cleveland has caused a
monopoly there to oRer seven fares

fers thereon. In Chicago It has
brought from the traction monopoly

So that night when the princess had gone to bed the man took one of the dead men that had failed in making her cry. He took this man in the princess room and standing at the foot of the bed he be, ban to murder the man saying "Oh. king if you do not let me marry the princess l shall kill you The princess, thinking it was her father sprang up screaming and crying. She cried three hours. The queen had a littlo baby born week before. The princess loved her little brother so that she was allowed to sleep with him. The next night the man went into the princess room and taking the baby out of her arms, ,crawled out the window and down the ladder. The princess sprang from her bed and went down the ladder screaming and crying. She cried thras hours. This made the king very happy to find that his daughter could marry the man now for sure. The wedding took place the next day and they lived very happy together

Once upon a time there was a prin- cess that never cried. One day the princess was very pale and felt blue, and her father asked her if anything could be done for her, and she answered Father, I have felt very blue because wish to marry a man but I.cannot find man that suits me If I could but cry l should feel better" Just as you say my dear daughter" said the king, and he sent herald about his king dom giving notice that any young man that would risk his life to marry the princess must come there three days and if he could make her cry three hours each day of the three he could marry her, but if he failed he must have his head cut off.
 The next day a doctor came, but he failed and had his head cut off. Day after day men came but failed and died the same death. At last man came and he had bottle of toilet water. This toilet water he had made himself and had put twelve dozen onions in it. The princess loved toilet water and was very pleased. She washed her face and hands with it. In less than five min utes sine was crying for she could smell the onions very much. She cried three hours that day. The king was

TO MAKE FRUIT sYRups.

There are TWO ways of making rasp- berry shrub or raspberry vinegar, One is to add vinegar to the berries and let it stand and after the berries have been taken out to add a second lot, then straining these out and adding sugar, cooking awhile, and finally bot ting for winter use In levers this will quench thirst,
 Another way is to let the berries ferment before cooking them; add no vinegar. While this beverage, made with sugar, is called raspberry vinegar, some persons prefer to call 1t raspber- ry shrub.
 The syrup left from canned peaches, pears or berries may be strained and mixed with lemon and orange juice, some sugar and water and a little nut meg, and converted into a water ice. When partly frozen, add whipped white of eggs and little port wine, and fln- isa freezing. The fruit juices should be scalded together with the sugar and water. Fine raisins may be put in tho syrup and frozen with the water ice

CHATTER OF THE

What to Do When the Hands Are Sore and
 Sensitive.

When the hands are sore and sensi- tive and ned healing lotion use the following: Two ounces of glycerlne, two ounces of rosewater, ten drops of carbolic acid. Be sure to use only the purest toilet soap and dry the hands thoroughly after bathing them
 A too dry skin, that Is easily rough cred by exposure to sun or wind, should be carefully fed and treated, or 1t will become prematupely wrinkled and withered Every night bathe the face carefully with warm-not hot water; partially dry with a clean soft tower, then apply a little good cold cream. rubbing 1t well into the skin. Leave the cream cn for about five minutes, then carefully remove with a clean, fine rag. An old cambrie or fine linen handkerchief does eycellently,
 The following has been very success full in removing stains and yellow streaks from the neck. Try it: Oleate of copper, 15 grains; ointment or oxide or zinc, t-2 ounce. Rub into spots morning and night. Wash off in the mo rning with warm water and q bland soap.
 Proper washing and drying with good soap and ane towels are quite as much needed for the arms as for the face; many women make the mistake of not drying them well; this should be care- fully attended to to preserve the smoothness of the outer skin. By wearing a rat under ones ponpa- dour the scalp is kept unnaturaily heated and the result is that the hair falls and becomes ragged and broken There Is nothing lovely about a sky scraping pompadour, anyway, Learn to d. without the rat us much as p0ssi- bl and be content with a pretty wave topknot that doesn't aspire to be top- lofty.

False Economy.

Four glaring instances in which econ omy always spells misery spring to my mlnd The first two, as everyone will guess, are gloves and boots and shoes, It is hard to say whether cheap glove or cheap shoe Is the nest hateful anl mark you, in the long run the most ex7 travagant. But iIl-cut, ill-ftting gloves cannot hurt and harm q hand as q shoe can a foot. Happily comfortable feet have a lot to say to health. and they are quite attaina lle without hay- ing resort to broad toes and no heels. Another false economy are cheap cor sets, Let some experienced corsetier study your figure and carefully it you don't pin your faith on what fit other people.
