aroused by the attack of two rowing

the entire neighborhood at Eleventh

the dogs sneaked away in the dark

ing made. Mrs. Ben wilkins, Of
1884 Trimble street, owns the coon.
1t got out of the house last night and
while peacefully walking about the
back yard was attacked by two large
dogs. The coon ran into a dog

not venture in. Finally one sue

The selection Of the twelfth Juror
came as a surprise at the end of a
long and tedious day--tne eighth OF
the trial. Immediately after this last
member of the panel had been sworn
in Justice Fitzgerald ordered an ad-
journment of the court until Mon
day.
District Attorney Jerome, who has
been contending for the removal of
one of the men now in the jury box.
but who has failed to gain the con-
sent of the defendants counsel to a
change. was still reluctant as court
adjourned to begin actual proceed
ings without further opportunity to
plead with Tnaw's attorneys. At his
request, therefore, ali talesmen who
had not yet been examined were or
dered to be in court Monday, ready
for jury service in case any are need
ed.
States Case TO Be Short.
Jerome then announced that if
there should be no change in the sit
uation in the meantime the state
would proceed to place all its direct
testimony before the jury at Monday
mornings session. The defense was
notified to be in readiness to proceed
Monday afternoon.
Assistant District Attorney Garvin
will make the opening address for the
prosecution. The state then will in
troduce only such witnesses as are
necessary to provs that Stanford
White was shot and killed by Thaw.
In announcing that the Introduction
will not require more than one ses-
sion OF court Jerome Is evidently of
the opinion that the cross examina-
ton of states witnesses to the actual
events associated with the tragedy
may not be very extensive.
Under the watchful eyes of a squad
of court officers and county detectives
the Thaw jury is more closely guard
ed than ever today Jurors are con-
fined in rooms at the Broadway Cen
trail hotel and over every entrance
and exit to floor, where they live
are posted officers. Thaw is thought
to have secured a slight advantage in
the selection of the jury. No Juror
was accepted who was not satisfac-
tory to everyone of Thaw's counsel.

that while Harry Thaw has stated he
will go on the witness stand his coun-
sci has not yet decided whether he

At That, He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times a day. A day or SO later
he made another visit and found the

lowering about solicitously.

LEFT IT TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancier Thought His Re-
sponsibiIlty Had Ended.

An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the Hoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in his leisure time as a hen farm
er" al that state. The literary per
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
hen literature" to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question:
What do you suppose is the mat
ter with those chickens?"
well, dunno" said Rawlins.
What do you feed 'em?"
Feed them!" exclaimed the novel
ist-farmer. why, don't feed them
anything"
Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"
Il presumed" replied the literary
person. that the old hens had milk
enough for them now."-Lippincott 8
