On resuming their labors each man
shouldered the board nearest him and
fell in behind the man who had for

When the leader, who bore the initial
"S," turned around to see If his men
were ready. what he saw was "Sata-

something was wrong. but how to

After changing man here and there
he got 1t "Starasea." But still it didn't
seem correct.
BY this time the poor fellow was in
terrible state. If any of their EN-
pIoyers' people were on the outlook
and could see them. their days wage
would be stopped. He tried again and
yet again, but 1t was no use.
And moment later a man bearing
the letter as" before and behind was
seen running toward the music hall to
copy down the name from one of the
posters there. And along the right
side of Princeton street there walked
toward the appointed rendezvous at

| ARGE CROWDS At
JONES HEARING
Whitewater Doctor Is Accused
Of Operating ''BIind
Tiger"
THE JURY is SELECTED.
ARREST OF JONES FOLLOWED A
RAID MADE UPON HIS PLACE
OF BUSINESS ONE SUNDAY IN
AUGUST.

The largest crowd that has attend
ed trial in the Wayne circuit court
for many months was present this
morning when the case of the State
VS.. DIR. Arthur II. Jones was called for
trial. Jones, who is physician and
grocer at Whitewater, is charged with
keeping a place for the unlawful sale
of intoxicating liquors and for being
found unlawfully in possession of in
toxicating liquors kept for the pur-
pose of sale. He is being prosecuted
under the statutes guarding against
the commonly called blind tiger
The examination of the jury occu-
pied considerable time. Each juror
was asked by the attorney for the
state if he is in the habit of using in
| toxicants. Five men stated they new
er use liquor, four said they use it &C.
| casionally or whenever they want it,
and three said they use it for medici-
nal purposes only. The defense ex-
cused Benjamin Duke for cause,
George Perry, who said he never uses
| liquor, and Francis McMinn. of Cen
ter township. The jury as finally de-
cided upon is composed of jeremiah
Myers, Willard Williams, James Jack
son, James Ladd, V. J. Sloan, Will
liam Reiser, e. F. Deitemeyer, Fran
els Clevenger, Harmon Woke, En-
met Druley, James Gardner and Will
liam Plummer
The arrest of Jones followed the
raid of his place of business by Ser
geant McManus and Patrol Driver
Roberts, of the local police force, up
on a search warrant August 13. A
great quantity of wines, beers and
whiskies was found at the store. 1t
is expected the defense will try to
prove the presence of these goods was
legal by asserting that the beer was
purchased for a picnic crowd. A rep
resentative of the local brewery is ex-
pected to be a witness to this effect.
The presence of the whiskey and wine
may be explained, according to the
defense, by the fact Jones is prac-
ticing physician and as such is entitled
to have these liquors in his possession
for medicinal purposes.
About twenty witnesses have been
subpoenaed- The majority is from
Franklin township. For many years
there have been rumors that a blind
tiger was being operated by Jones and
citizens of Franklin township who
have been concerned in these reports
will have the chance to tell the jury
what they know of the authenticity OF
the various rumors.
Jones appeared in the court room in
company with his wife, sister, little
son and other relatives. His case is
being defended by Byram Robbins, as
counsel. The prosecuting attorney is
attending to the states evidence. The
first witness placed upon the stand
was William G. White, a resident OF
Franklin township. He located
, Whitewater and told, also, of the 10
cation of the Jones place of business.

A Blunt Excuse.

There is story of an English clergy
man who had taken temporary duty
for a friend and who had the i'll luck
to injure his false teeth during the
week. The plate was sent to the den
fist for repairs, faithful assurance
being given that it should be returned
by Sundays post, but the dentist or
the post proved faith1ess.
With the assistance of the clerk the
clergyman managed to stumble through
the prayers. but felt 1t would be use
less to attempt to preach. He there
fore instructed the clerk to make some
excuse for him and dismiss the congre-
CATION. But his feelings may be better
imagined than described when. in the
seclusion Of the vestry, he overheard
the clerk In impressive tones thus de-
liver the excuse:
"Parson is very sorry, but 1T is his
misfortune to be Obliged to wear set
of artful teeth. They busted last
Wednesday, and he amt got them
back from London today. as he was
promised I've helped him all could
through the service but l can't do
more for him. 'Tisn't any use for him
going up in the pulpit Tor you wouldn't
understand word he said so he thinks
you all may as well go home"

Brilliant Fish Hues.

Like birds, many fishes assume their
brightest hue when they wish to at
tract the opposite sex of their species.
The colors Of the male common pike
become exceedingly intense, brilliant
and iridescent in the breeding season.
The eel also puts on an intense silvery
hue at the breeding time which is very
noticeable and at one time caused nat
uralists to distinguish it as distinct
species. The males Of the tench. roach
and perch also show marked increase
in brilliancy in the breeding season

Shetland Ponies.

The Shetland pony trade has some
what deteriorated of late years. In
bygone days crofter could count upon
getting from f6 to fS for horse foal,
but now these animals are practically
unstable unless they are "pedigreed"
The Shetland pony is celebrated in ev-
cry country and is much superior in
symmetry of form, feetness and sa-
gacity to the same class Of animals in
Norway, the Farce islands and Ice
land. Ponies coming from the islands
OF INST and Fetlar are considered the
finest and usually bring the highest
prices. Those Of the latter island are
cross between the genuine "sheltie"
and the Arabian horse. They are beau
tiful little animals, but wild and diff
cult to train.-World's Work.
