neither pays nor is becoming to have
chronic colds in the head. They have

china silk. or a good quality of lawn:
but in any case it must be something that
will stand frequent washing. AIbatross

And in 1nterrogating witnesses, Je-
rome interjects many side remarks
which, when objected to by Littleton,
are promptly ruled ont, but serve the
purpose intended, to get to the ear Of
the jury. These are all intimations
that the prosecution considers Thaw
was drunk when he did the shooting,
and although Littleton vainly objects,
and is upheld by the court, the ques-
ton along that line is asked dozen
times daily.
