The Business Instinct.

A small Detroit boy was given 8 drum for a Christmas present, and was beating it vociferously on the sidewalk, when nervous neighbor appeared and asked: How much did your father pay for that drum, my little man?"
 Twenty-Five cents, sir" was the reply.
 will you take a dollar for it?"
 "Oh, yer, sir" said the boy eag- erly. Ma said she hoped I'd sell it for ten cents"
 The exchange was made, and the drum put where it wouldn't make any more noise, and the nervous man chuckled over his stratagem.
 But to his horror, when he got home that night, there were four drums beating in front of his house, and as he made his appear ance, the leader stepped up and said, cheerfully: These are my cousins, sir. I took that dollar and bought four new drums. Do you want to give us S4 for them?"
 The nervous neighbor rushed in- to the house in despair, and the drum corps is doubtless beating yet in front of his house.

Doctors Versus Lawyers.

Most lawyers take a keen delight trying to confuse medical experts in the witness box in murder trials, and often they get paid back in their own coin. A case Is recalled where the lawyer, after exercising all the tangling tactics without ef- feet, looked quizzically at the doc tor who was testifying and said:
 You will admit that doctors sometimes make mistakes, won't you?"
 "Oh, yes; the same as lawyers" was the cool reply.
 And doctors mistakes are buried six feet under ground" was the lawyers triumphant reply.
 "Yes," he replied, "and the law yers' mistakes often swing in the air. r."-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

GAVE UP
 ALL HOPE
After Four Long Years of Suffer. ing, Mrs. Dean of Benbrook Was Finally Relieved by
 Cardui.

Benbrook, Tex.-"I feel like it is my duty to advise other women to take Car0ui, the woman's tenic." writes Mrs. L. c. Dean, of R. r. D. No. 6. Benbrook, Tex.
 q suffered for four (4) long years with female complaints. Such mis- erable person as I wasi I had three doctors. but they did nae no geed. and I gave up all hope of being relieved.
 At last, my doctors advised me to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. I took four bottles and ROW am well. Cardui saved my life and I cannot say enough for it. I have prescribed it with great success for young girls and women with various forms of female complaint.
 "Cardui is a real boon to suffering women. I am thankful fer the good it has done me and I know it will cure others"
 This remarkable letter from lady who has actually tried Cardui. ought surely to convince you of it's genuine merit and induce you to give it trial for your troubles.
 Purely vegetable, perfectly harm less, notwithstanding and free from all deleterious ingredients. Cardui is the ideal remedy for all weak. suffer ing women, young and old

ELLIS MURDER CASE
DAYS CONSUMED IN ARGUMENTS
 BEFORE THE JUDY.
Sensational Charges of Bribery Come to Light in the Evidence
 Given by Woman.

Little Rock.-The trial of w. Y, Ellis, who shot and killed N. r. Will lis in the circuit court room here during a proceeding which gave Will lis the custody of his little daughter for a 5rief time, by special order ot court, and under satisfactory bond, was replete with sensations, and end ed with climax almost dramatic
 Mrs. Ellis, formerly the wife of the man who was murdered, the lit tie Mary, the innocent cause of the tragedy were in constant attendance at the trial, and the court room was often crowded with persons who man ifested deep interest in the pro ceedings.
 The alleged annoyance of Mrs. FL lis by her former husband through the efforts of Miss Viola Gray, a woman detective said to have been employed by Willis to obtain incrim- mating evidence against the divorced woman in order to obtain legal pos session of the child, constituted the bulk of the testimony introduced by the defense. It is the contention of Ellis attorneys that the mind of the defendant was impaired by constant worry over these prosecutions.
 The plan to throw one of Mrs El- is stockings into a room occupied by drummer at the Marion Hotel in this city, and have the chambermaid swear on the witness stand that Mrs. Ellis occupied the room, is said to have been frustrated by the flat re. fusal of the chambermaid to enter into the compact and accept $250 for her services.
 Witnesses for the defense scored Viola Gray, the woman detective, whose exploits in the case read like the climax of a story which could not have much worse ending than did this family dissension.
 The attorneys for the defense held hard and fast 10 the plea of insanity, and the jury listened to an ex- posture of inside" family history including the life and characteristics of relatives on both sides of the
 
 legal procedure.
 Every line of testimony introduced by the defense convorged toward the idea of insanity, except to es- tablish the fact that Ellis was ap- pointed special policeman in Pine Fluff, and that he had a natural right to be in possession of a revolver.
 An indisputable hereditary strain of insanity was proven to exist on the mothers side, while a pspdispo- sition to mental weakness wsc estab- lished on the fathers side.
 An accident in a football game at the State University was attributed as a cause of Ellis weakness. |
 Friday and Saturday were consum. ed in arguments before the jury. At torney Lewis Rhcton opened for the state, and was followed by J. Wythe Walker for the defense. James A. Gray continued for the defense. This practically consumed all of Friday, Saturday morning former Lieutenant Governor c. P. Johnsin, of St. Lou is spoke for two hours for the state. followed by Congressman Joe T. Rob- inson and Judge F. T. Vaughan for the defense. Prosecuting Attorney Roy D.

ing, when many of the boys swing themselves out of their hammocks unusually early in order to dress the ship with holiday greens ere the sun Is up.
 Usually the gibes for the off. cers are reserved for the minstrel show in the evening, but there have been occasions in the history of the navy when the bluejackets played decidedly practical jokes on their superiors in connection with 7ahe Christmas dinner. For in- stance, at Shanghai, China, few years ago, a delegation Of the en- listed men got ashore almost as soon as the ship dropped anchor in port, and having forestalled the wearers of gold braid they proceed ed to "corner" the limited market of turkeys. Thus they had plenti- ful slices of the light and dark meat at their spread, while the ward-room mess had to put up with a not altogether satisfactory sub stitute. The high prices paid for fowl on this occasion constitute but one of many illustrations that might be cited to prove how lavish are the bluejackets in their expen- ditures when it comes to providing ammunition for the proper obserV- anee of Christmas.
 The mischievous nature Of these boys grown tall crops out in the character of many of the contests that take place on Christmas after noon. There are boxing. wrestling and fencing contests that are in deadly earnest, but there are also such merriment makers as egg races, potato races, three-legged races. sack races, etc, and finally there are ludicrous pie-eating con- tests and similar stunts A time honored Christmas prank aboard Yankee fighting ships is that wherein a procession of fantastic ally garbed sailors visits the cap tain's quarters, carrying a bucket of whitewash, and petitions the commanding officer to literally or dguratively wipe out all scores or demerits standing against members of the crew for minor infractions of the rules. If the master of the craft is not utterly lacking in that tact and discernment which makes for popularity in the navy. he hast ems to take cognizanoe of the spir- 1t of the day by granting this re- quest for universal clemency.
 The opportunities for enjoyment open to our American bluejackets at Christmas have been materially enhanced by the present policy of having tbS warships, whenever possible spend the holidays in some popu ous port. For instance, the plan. at this writing, is to have

THE PANAMA SITUATION.

If We may assume that a man to
be elected president of the United
States must have ordinary good sense,
we may CLEAN some encouragement
from this Panama canal controversy.
President Roosevelt and President
elect Taft, both of whom have, seen
the canal diggings -arf-reeeirea-ths
reports of competeRt- sxRayts- favor
the lock canal. Enemies of the adj
ministration in congress. who care
more about discrediting the president
than they do about either the good
name of the country or. its welfare,
and southern newspapers, that care
more about damaging tne Republican
administration than they DO about the
prosperity of the south. which is most
deeply interested in the canal, are
opposing the lock and dam plan.
Now the only personal benefit
either President Roosevelt President
elect Taft can hope to gain from the
