may trust him for advice, good coun.

member, he Is suspicious. No matter
how clear your character, he is on
the luokout for some hidden meaning
in waat you do or say.
There are only two ways 10 be hap
.py with such a man: do nothing that
you don't want MIN to find out, OF
frankly tell him every detail of what
y'au do. He will always forgive what
he knows.
A man with a broad, large, strong
mouth is usually tae winner. Success
is his. He is tolerant and kindly. He

In attempting to make up leather
work oneself. remember that any
doubling Of glazed leather is to be

pieces of leather are attached by ma

Glazed leather can be slot reamel
against a piece of binding or ribbon.
while the Ooze of suede skins are over

Tan or gray goatskin with a suede
finish is an excellent choice for en-.
broidery, as it is cheaper than calf

For ttolIng or carving. fine Russian
calfskin, not too thin, Is the best
choice. This should be kept moist

JUDGE GETS

ARGUMENT :. OVER .FPosTPok-

SION FOR GENTLE G0UGE
AT PoINDExTER, WHO rs
-oN DEFENSE. -

The trial of G. E. Horton
charged with the embezzlement OF
the funds of the city water office,
was again postponed this. morn.
ing, this time until Monday Of
next week., Judge Hinkle an
nounced in open court today thai
he had received a telephone mes:
sage from Judge Carey of Colville;
appointed to try the case, in which
Judge Carey stated that he would
not be here today but could come
sure next Monday. The court said
the trial would proceed if the at
torneys were willing to try the
case before one of the home
judges.
Deputy Prosecutor Don F. Kizer,
who has charge of the case for the
state, objected to proceeding with
the case today, as it would mean
the confinement of the jurors in
the jury room on Christmas and
hhe did not like to subject them
to a hardship of this kind.
Judge Poindexter objected to
proceeding with the case next
week as it would mean the confine-
ment of the jurors on New Years
day, and he was also solicitious
about the enjoyment of the gen.
tlemen of the jury. He suggested
a postponement until January, to
which the state objected, and then
asked that. the case go over until
February, to which the state stiIl
more strenuously objected.
Judge Poindexter at this point
remarked:
LAS a matter of fact, no jury at
all ought to be locked up on this
case" meaning that Horton should
go free.
To which Mr.. Kizer responded:
Il see you have changed your
mind good deal on these mat
ters, Judge, since you were q
prosecutor yourself and on the
bench"
Judge Hinkle held with the
state and set the case for New
Years week over the protest of
the defense, which asked and was
granted an exception.

mmedium of damage suits.

At FUNERAL

PASADENA, CAL, Dec. d.
Frozen tomatoes eaten by the fam
lily of Edward Brokaw, the single
taxer, is today believed to have
caused the death of little half
starved Leonard Brokaw, and rem.
dered his two sisters, Ignez and
Vaughn, seriously i'll. 1t is believed
that poison was in the tomatoes.
With no word of religion, the
funeral of Leonard was held this
morning from the front porch OF
the Brokaw homes Professor Vail,
a friend of the family, delivered q
brief funeral grafton over the body
In tiny casket.
Although food was sent to the
Brokaw home, the single taxer re-
fused to change his diet, spurning
meat, eggs, milk and various kinds
of food, which is under their
ban. The couple is half starved
but loyal to their tenets. They
ate breakfast today consisting OF
crackers, peanut butter and cruel
made of flour.
Despite the fact that the elder
Brokaws refuse certain kinds OF
food, DIR. Beach says he thinks the
father has awakened to a realiza
ton that the children should be
given more solid food.
