New Cook Got Away from Hard Work
 of Plucking Feathers.

The new cook--as green 8 daughter of Erin as that verdant country ever sent over the seas-said she could pluck the ducks. The ducks in Ques- tion were only three, but they were the pride and joy of the heart of the master of the house. He had spent four blessed days in Virginia sitting out in cold, damp, dirty blind to get them. And to help eat them, he had asked the cronie to whom he had ire Quently boasted his skill as marks man.
 The lady of the house was in bed with the grip, but SO overwhelming was the joy of the cook when she had divested one bird of his feathers that she must needs bring 1t in for ap- prova1.
 Sure, there was crowds of feathers on 'em," said the girl, as. with & grin as broad as her brogue, she stood In the doorway exhibiting the now down. less duck.
 But, Katie" The lady of the house fell back on her pillows, speech less. "What-where in the world are the legs and wings?" she asked when she could speak.
 "To be sure, I cut thim of. The feathers wouldn't come of 90 took them of altogether, m'm," the girl said. And to this day it Is joke among the friends of the young duck hunter that he has to knock of both the wings and legs of his game to capture them.

 It has been said that a woman can dance for six consecutive hours and at the end of that time look perfectly fresh; whereas a man after dancing for ten minutes has rumpled hair and wilted collar. Nevertheless, the girls who came out" in society early in the season are beginning to look wan and weary. It Is rattling pace for sweet eighteen or twenty, and they cannot stop 'lntil the gong sounds. Certain young men who are deep in the social game will work all day, then dance until a. m. and yet not look half as tired as any of the buds.

BuckNER ON ADJUSTMENTS.
Evangelist Takes Up Card Playing and
Dancing.

In a kindly but very forcible man
ner. DR. Buckner addressed a large au-
dience last night at the Methodist
church on the amusement question. He
used as text, by. their fruits We shall
know them" This is law that ap-
plies to trees. men and institutions.
The real test Of an amusement, as of
a tree, is what results does 1t pro-
duce? What is its fruit?" And those
other words of Christ must also be ap-'
piled to any institution or any amuse-
ment which fails to meet the test, ANY
tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
shall be hewn down., and cast into the
fire" The real trouble in regard to
the amusement question is not, with
the people outside the church. for
they quite generally concede that GER
tain well-known forms Of amusement
are wrong. The main trouble is with
professed Christians inside the church
who indulge in those amusements, say
ing they are all right.
The speaker referred to three amuse-
ment trees which he said were planted
everywhere First. the card tree,
which produces bad fruit in that it
causes the squandering Of lot of
time, is an encouragement to decep-
ton and trickery, provokes much bad
temper, is strong temptation to as
sociate with bad people, is the greatest
gambling school known, encourages
the use Of strong drink, tends to de-
stroy the home idea, and is hinder
ance to the church of Jesus Christ. The
tree should be hewn down.
In regard to the dance tree, the
speaker said it was not a question of
church law, but question Of fruit,
and he showed that while many
churches do not positively forbid dane
ing among their members, yet practi-
cally every evangelical protestant
church in the land had declared
strongly against dancing. The fruit Of
the tree is bad physically. mentally and
morally 1t is not the music, nor the

Majority Stood For Conviction.
From the first ballot majority OF
the jurors stood for conviction. The
first ballot was seven for conviction
and five for acquittal. The last OF the
five were not won over until TINS
morning. 1t is probable that mo-
ton for a new trial will be filed, and
should this motion be overruled. there
is q possibility that the case may be
carried to the supreme court.
Instructions Take Away Defense.
Judge Parker's instructions to the
Jury favored the states case. in so far
as they removed from the Jury's con-
sideration the evidence that had been
brought out by Miller's attorneys IN
the ross-examination of the state's
witnesses regarding the benefits they
had received as result of Miller's
treatment The defense had also ar
gued that the jury should be the judge
OF both the law and the facts involved
in the case, but Judge Parker's IN
structions pointed GU, distinctly the
law governing the case. and instructed
the jury to follow the Interpretation OF
the law as given in the instructions.
The states case was based princl-
pally on the allegation that Miller
publically professed to cure and neal.
and it supported this allegation with
evidence in the form of Miller's adver-
Using of various kinds.
