Precocity is not always a thing to be

as a prematurely ripened fruit indi-
Gates decay and early death. mean an
early degeneration and loss OF the

Tho Man to Choose.

When a girl Is about to choose a
sweetheart she is apt to think more of
his physical attractions than Of his
character, and. sadly enough. she IS al
most invariably attracted by the quail
tiles that dazzle rather than by those
enduring qualities on which happiness
of married life SO much depends. The
modern girl would do well to follow
The example OF the wise young man
of to-day. The latter may flirt and
spend his time with the alluring maid
en- whose golden hair and blue eyes
are her chief claims to attractiveness;
but in nine cases out of ten he will
ted to be a good wife and mother.
Whatever mistakes men may make
in other directions, their minds work
very logically, with reason and fore
sight, when it comes to matrimony.
Girls are different, and, young or old.
they are likely to be captivated by
the adventurer or the unworthy man.
unless they are closely guarded in
their homes. and acquire certain
degree of common sense. Modern girls
do not admire dull. homely or stingy
men. and these three faults are quite
likely to belong to men who, properly
understood and rightly directed. might
make desirable husbands. 1t Is con
sidered a nuisance to be a bore in this
twentieth century, and girls do not
take into consideration the foct that
dullness comes often from difhde
while the lively. glib man. who is sure
of himself, is often quite empty-head-
ed. and would quite likely not be toll
Grated by serious men. Don't marry

Weekly. who is simply charming in in

speech. poetic in mind. reverent OF
women, talented. but lacking in that
moral stamina which is so essential

and overcome the business difficulties
which beset most people. The weak
man dismisses everything wittily with
an epigram. and this is charming in
a play but In ones husband 1t is an

walker CASE
NEARING END
CLOSING SCENES OF TRIAL OF
MASON AND vENDERWEIDE
AT DURANGO.
STATES CASE CLOSED
EVIDENCE CLOSED AND JUDGE
READY TO DELIVER HIS
INSTRUCTIONS.

Durango, Colo.-Defendant Mason
was put on the stand Wednesday. He
testified that after Walker fell he went
| down the hill, while Vanderweide went
up; that later he went up the hill TO
where a party OF laborers were work
ing, going by the body, but not touch
ing it. When he approached the la
borers, he said. he told them that they
had better take the body away, or hide
it in some way SO that the coyotes
would not find and mutilate 1t.
Six witnesses for the defense were
examined Thursday morning, their
testimony being cumulative.
Dan Keith son-in-law of Mason. testi-
fled he was in the sheriff's office when
Sheriff Clark talked with Mason and
Vanderweide. He said he did not hear
Mason or Vanderweide say anything
about rabbit hunt, nor that they
knew Walkers party was on the hill.
After introducing several witnesses
to show that Walkers hand rested on
top of his body and not underneath,
as claimed by prosecution, the defense
in the trial of Joseph Vanderweide and
William Mason for the killing of Spe-
cial Agent j. A. Walker. closed its
case at O'Clock Thursday.
But one witness was placed on the
stand by the prosecution in rebuttal.
This was a surprise to those who have
been following the trial. as II was be
lieved that the prosecution would CON
sumo fully day in rebuttal evidence.
The Judge will deliver his instruc-
tions TO the jury Friday and argu-
ments of the attorneys will occupy the
time Of the court until Saturday noon
Both Vanderweide and Mason occu-
pied the witness stand the greater part
OF two days. during which they were
bombarded with cross questions by
District Attorney Pulliam. but both
stuck to their stories with remarkable
tenacity.
his story hairs breadth, and only
once was Mason in any way tangled
by the district attorney. This was
when he said that there We're many
prairie chickens on the hills and that
he had trouble in keeping the Italians
from shooting them. Then the dis
trict attorney asked him II he went
over the hills for the purpose of see
ing who was blasting. or hunting
prairie chickens.
Much stress was laid by both sides
on the position Walkers hands were
in after he fell to the ground when
shot All the witnesses for the prose
cution who said that they saw the body
before II was moved testified that the
hands were by his side. The defense
endeavored by cross examination 10
break this testimony. Those who tes-
titled concerning this for the prosecu-
tion were Coroner Lefurgoy. Sheriff
Clark. Undertaken Goodman and the
men in the shaft.

What happy and contented crea-
ture the farmer now must be who was
too busy to market his hogs during
the grand rush when everybody was
hurrying in his porkers before the bot
tom should drop clear out OF the pro
vision market At the time, doubtless.
he bemoaned his fate and said things
well calculated to corrupt the morals
OF the hogs because circumstances had
SO toyed with him. Now h" is posing
among his neighbors as a man Of su
perior judgment and telling them that

up. The farmer is not the only one
who feels that he is shrewder than his
fellows the moment good luck tosses
something at him.
