htinks she was insane at the time she
committed the deed. One amusing
thing yesterday was when Attorney
Kopp told in his opening statement
how she came to employ Attorney
Thompson of Burling, first instead of
himself. She phoned one evening
and made a date with Mr.. Kopp but
after she came over with her father
the next day she refused to go to Mr..
Kopp's office saying that she had a,
dream the night before i'll which she
was seated in a crowded court room
and was being tried for a heinous
crime and there was a lawyer by the
name of Thompson defending her.
Nothing could be don but she must
phone Thompson at Burling and he
came UP and took her case afterwards
securing Mr.. Kopp to help him in it.
1t is probable that the case will take
the entire week and possibly longer.

burn up is also in attendance at the

very little labor in the making.

Trees and Lightning.

The trees most apt to be struck by
lightning are those that conform most
naturally to the law of electrical mo-
tion-that electricity moves along the
path of least resistance. Flammarion,
the great French scientist, published
in 1905 a list of different kinds of
trees, showing the number of times
each species had been struck by light
ming during a given period. The
figures are: Fifty-four oaks, twenty
four poplars. fourteen elms, eleven
walnuts, ten frs, seven willows, six
beeches. four chestnuts, but not a
single birch.-The Reader.

Gambling Part of -RcIigion.


A missionary lay beside a"campfire
Of birch logs in the Maine woods,
smoking a black cigar and watching
his guide grill trout.
Speaking of gambling" the mis-
sionary said, Il know of sect that
regards it as a religious duty, like
fasting or prayer.
This sect is the Hindus. They one
day in each year gamble like mad
from sunrise till sunset. The day is
the festival of the lamps, day sacred
to Lakshun, the goddess of wealth.
A tremendous lot of money changes
hands in Lakshuns honor.
All this gambling is done to test
the financial success that will attend
on each person throughout the year.
If gambler loses he knows a year
of hard luck is ahead of him. If he
wins. he knows he may expect a
twelvemonth of prosperity.
Strange to say, a good deal of
cheating accompanies this religious
gambling. 60 st. Louis Globe-Demo-

soft that may be liked. AS illustrat-
ed, however, the oxerwaist is made
Of embroidered banding, while the
blouse itself is of crepe ninon with
the chemisette of tucked mousseline.
The sleeves that extend just to the
elbows and are finished with narrow
frills are pretty and attractive, but
they can be cut little longer, cover
ing the elbows, If liked, in which case
they would be made with cuffs to
match the chemisette, as shown in the
small view. When the blouse is made
with banding, as in this instance, the
sections are cut separately and joined
one to the other over the shoulders,
but when it is cut from plain material
there is no need of such Jennings.
In either case the over waist and the
blouse are joined at their lower edges
and are attached to foundation Cir
die over which the draped one is ar
ranged.
The blouse is made with front and
backs and is faced to form the chem
isette, the material beneath being cut
away when transparent effect is de-
sired. The larger portions of the
over blouse are cut in one piece each
with the centre front portion separ-
ate, and are arranged over the blouse,
which is gathered at the lower edge
and Joined to the girdle. The sleeves
are moderately full and are arranged
over fitted Innings which are faced
to form the cuffs of the three-quarter
sleeves or trimmed with frills of lace
in the case of the elbow sleeves.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is. for the blouse,
two and half yards twenty-one, two
and quarter yards twenty-seven, or
one and half yards forty-four inches
wide, with three-quarter yard of tuck
ing for chemisette; one and one-eighth
yards eighteen or twenty-one inches
wide orfour and three-quartery yards of
sanding two and a half inches wide
for the over waist and sleeve bands;
five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle.
Stockings must match shoes,
whether white, blue or tan.

Appliance For Keeping Cue Steady.
In playing billiards and pool it IS
the custom of the player to crook
the index finger of one hand to use
as a holder and guide for the cue,
while the butt is grasped by the
other hand to make the shot. There
IS one decided disadvantage in this
use of the cue when the hand is damp
Or moist from perspiration. The
moisture checks or retards the for
ward motion of the cue. Experts use
lotions to prevent this perspiration,
and other expedients have been
adopted for the purpose. The flesh
