Sheriff Joe Benson and his hearing
was set for this afternoon at o'clock.
He admitted the offense and furnished
much valuable information to the au-
fhorities. It was given to him to dis
tribute among the voters, he asserted.
AS a result OF tina information Sc
cured from Miller and other sources
it is understood that more arrests will
be made.
The plan to secure information was
carried out through Deacon w. ].
Pierce, a staunch prohibitionist, and
Wilkerson. The deacon accompanied
wilkerson on the trip and declined an
offer to drink some of the beer. VIII
kerson drank two glasses of beer.
In speaking of the conditions at the
party Deacon Pierce took occasion to
denounce in scathing terms the men
who promoted the affair. There were
about twenty five persons at the party,
some of them being rather young to be
drinking. The beer was In kegs and
two pitchers were kept filed so that a
drink could be secured at any time.
Some Of the men were drunk and one
insisted on singing a maudlin song.

He Got the Ticket.

"Seamen's return" tickets are issued
by most British railways at seaport
towns to sailors at reduced rates. A
rather well groomed young man de-
handed one to Birmingham; the book

"'Seamen's returns are only issued
to sailors" he snapped.

said the clerk. How am to know 1t
is correct?'

Enaland's Generals.

There has not been an English gen.
eral since Marlborough. Wellington
was born at Dangan castle, Meath, OF
an old Irish family called Wesley and
christened in Dublin. Wolfe was born
at Ferneaux abbey. Kildare, and chris
tened at Westerham-nearly in the
same case as the Brontes (Brunty).
His grandfather defended Limerick
against William III.
Sir John Moore and the Napiers were
Scotchmen. and so was Abercrombie
egypt; so were Napier Of Magdala,
Crawford and Clyde Wolseley, Rob-
erts and Kitchener are Irish; so was
Cough. The generals and statesmen
who saved India to Great Britain were
Neill, Nicholson, the two Lawrences
Orish), Edwards (Welsh) and Rose
(Scotch).
I know Of Wolfe because my great
grandfather served under him at Que
bee. His Irish birth was corroborat-
ed to me by Captain Dunno, once well
known in literary circles Of Queens
county family. I don't know whether
Scotchmen like to be called English,
but certainly 1rishmen do notion

A Queer Battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells of a
singular combat that he witnessed. He
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
q caterpillar crawling along at rapid
pace, followed by hundreds Of small
ants. Being quicker in their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing, the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor
After slaughtering dozen or more Of
his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs Of fatigue. The ants made a
combined attack. Betaking himself to
a stalk Of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first, followed by the ants. AS
one approached he seized 1T In his
jaws and threw it of the stalk. The
ants, seeing the caterpillar had too
strong position for them to over
come, resorted to strategy. They be-
gan saving through the grass stalk.
In q few moments the stalk fell, and
hundreds Of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar 1t was killed at once.

Somewhat Puzzlinr.

1t is not at all surprising that the

Of visitor from London who came
to New York last summer and was
taken by his host to see one Of the
league baseball games at the Polo
grounds. The game had progressed as
far as the third inning without any
thing in particular happening. when
suddenly one of the Giahts pounded
out three Dagger that set everybody
bowling with joy.
"That was bir6" calculated the
Englishman's host after the excite
ment had subsidized.
A moment later a foul tip sent the
ball flying back to the grand stand.
'And what do you call that?I queried
the Englishman.
That's a FOUL" said his host.
"Ah." returned the Englishman. "a
fowl, eh? Well, it seems to me that

HOWARD COULD
RESTS HIS CASE
Announcement Causes Snr=
prise in New York.
NO WITNESSES ERE READY

Justice Bowling Allows Attorney
Shearn to Read Dispositions of Wit
nesses Taken in Preparing the Case
for TriaI-Mrs. Gould Returns from
Philadelphia and Announces She
Has Several New Witnesses Who
Will Refute Certain Testimony.
Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould
who is suing her husband for a separa-
ton and $250,000 year alimony, re-
turned to New York from Philadelphia
and said that she had secured several
new witnesses for her side, and OBJ
of the employees of the Hotel Bellevue
Stratford, who testified that they saw
Dustin Farnum, the actor, secretly
leave her apartments early one morn
ing during her stay at the Philadelphia
hotel in 1906.
Mrs. Gould's lawyers declined to say
what the refutation evidence was, but
said it would all be introduced at the
trial at the proper time, and that when
Mrs. Gould's case was presented in re-
buttal there would be many surprises
for the defense.
When Justice Bowling opened court
the defense sprung surprise by an
nouncing that it rested its case.
Delaney Nicoll, counsel for Mr..
Gould declared that on looking over
the testimony that had been presented
he found it so replete with evidence
to establish the contention of the de-
Tense that Mr.. Gould was justified in
the separation from his wife that he
believed it unnecessary to call any
more witnesses.
Clarence ]. Shearn, attorney for
Mrs. Gould, told the court that Nicolls
announcement had taken him by sur
prise and that he had no witnesses
at hand at the moment to put on the
stand in rebuttal. With the courts
consent, however, he said, he would
read the dispositions of witnesses talk
en- in preparing the case for trial.
Shearn at once proceeded with the
reading of these dispositions.
The dispositions were those of Lieu
tenant Henry McCauley Bankhead and
wife of Atlanta, Ca, who frequently
visited Mrs. Gould. They deposed
that her conduct was always ladylike
and they never knew her to drink to
excess.

great friend of Captain William

quainted with him, and on more than
one occasion the cowboy rendered the

SeAinu and Thinkinu.

Most people see an object when they
think Of 1t. They can see before their
eyes geometrical drawing or the fig
ures on chessbOard when they think
Of them. In order to think at all most
men make use of images, though they
may be Of different kinds. Thus one
man when he thinks Of Italy" sees
just the printed word; another sees the
country's outline on map; another
may see the country spread out before
him, with it's villages and towns.
Psychologists are beginning to classify
the different aids or images Of which
men make use. Some, for example,
hear the words of their thought within
themselves; others read them, as IL
the words were written generally in
black on a white ground.-London

frequently talked from the pulpit to

passage from Exodus one day, he pro-
ceeded thus: And the Lord said unto

If We had to sit beside the door yerser
We wadna be sac ready leaving 1t open.
1t was just beside that door that Ye-
dam Tamson, the bellman, got his

making a special effort to keep him
down.
At thirty-ive he thought he might
have done great things If his wife had
not been such a handicap.
At forty he believed he would have
been great man IL his children had
not made it necessary for him to cling
to the sure things.
At fifty he was positive that there
was a conspiracy against him on the
part Of his fellow men.
At sixty he felt that If he could have
been thirty five again nothing could
have stopped him.
At seventy he began to believe that
he had failed because Of a lack of
courage and inability to make the most
Of his opportunities.
At eighty he was almost sure Of it,
