with dismal results. Even when he tucked his
hard-wrought savings into savings bank, which
had to have thirty days notice before paying
back anything, he found that he always just
happened to need that banked money on the
thirtieth day after he'd given notice of with
drawal.
So he too bethought him of the scheme of
sending his savings out of the United States.
His elder brother was United States consul at
a city in Asia Minor. The manager of the drug
store got his teeth together with click, and
sent three-fourths of his income to the brother
in Asia Minor to be boarded for him. His in
come was two thousand dollars a year. He
made himself live on five hundred dollars a
year, and regularly as the weeks rolled round
he RENTED to the brother in Asia Minor, the
understanding being that the brother at the
remote post should not in any circumstances,
send any of the money back until the end of
three years.
At the end of the three years this determined
chap received check for forty-fve hundred
dollars from his consul brother in Asia Minor
and he resigned his job and started his cut-rate
drug store, and he is we'll on the road to riches
at the present moment of writing He AYERS
with great solemnity that he never would have
been able to save dollar, except for little
periods of month or so, if he hadn't hit upon
that scheme of renting the bulk of his mere
ment to far point from which there was no
chance of getting it back until the expiration
of the period for which he had bargained with
his brother.

 On redirect examination he said he did not say that if the part referred to was omitted he would not say the defendant was not insane. but simply said the question could not be an swered if left in that shape He added that mental worry and heredity are the chief causes of insanity.
 Dr. CantrelI is Examined.
 The direct examination of Dr. Can trell was brief and only one question was asked him.

He was asked as to Dr. Bledsoe's reputa- tion as an expert in mental diseases and as a physician replied that it was excellent before the state could interpose an obection.
 Governor Johnson started to cross examine the witness and the first question he asked was the last one. He asked, Suppose the facts as laid down in the hypothetical question are not true, would the man be sane or insane?'
 The witness replied, You sideste3 the issue, and there is nothing before the house.
 Governor Johnson replied very hot ly. And you are not before the house you are excused.

ELLIS CASE 10
 GO TO THE JURY
All the Evidence Has Been Submitted and Arguments Will Be Made To- day-Much Interest Manifested in the Verdict


 Judge F. J. kerwin has returned from Little Rock, where he spent yesterday as counsel in the Ellis mur- der case. The state and defense both rested. The instructions will be ar sued before the court this morning and the case will most likely go to the jury this afternoon While all of Pine Bluff is anXiously awaiting the outcome of the trial, it is stated that the interest in Little Rock and other cities over the state is equally as great The defense is reported to have made remarkably strong case in it's contention that Ellis was suffering from emotional insanit,, when he killed w P. Willis, and sentiment has grown in his favor all over the state It is perdicted that the jury will acquit Ellis in a short time, although some attorneys are inclined to believe that there may be a mistrial.

THE INSANITY
 OF ". Y. ELLIS
tContinued From Page One.)

what Judge Austin said in the Circuit court room on the day of the tragedy, but he was not conscious of having done so, and Governor Johnson moved to exclude that part of the testimony given by Judge Austin in this trial because of the defendant was not con- scious of having heard what he said it could have not affected his mind
 The question of excluding that part of the testimony of this ground was argued in chambers this morning. At noon Judge Lea had not anonunced whether that part of the evidence would be admitted.
 Dr. BledsOe Examined.
 In his examination just before the hypothetical question was submitted to him. Dr. Bledsoe said in substance: Insanity is rarely transmitted, but a tendency to insanity is transmitted; a mental or physical strain is more likely to produce insanity in man who inherits the tendency than in a man who does not He said he made physical examination of the defend ant ill September, and noted the chest depression, pupils of the eyes dilated, highly nervous condition and tuber- cular tendency.
 Dr. BledsOe Cross Examined.
 On cross examination Dr. Bledsoe said he did not say the defendant was insane at the time he examined him in September, and that this pur- pose for examinating then was to aid him in his further examinations in the case
 Governor Johnson asked the witness then if the last part of the hypotheti- cal question was left out would he say the defendant was insane.
 And in substance the doctor replied that he had based his answer of the question as a whole, and that if any part of it was left out it was an en- tirely different question, not a hypo- thetical question, and that he or any other expert could not answer it.
 The part Governor Johnson wanted left out was that which referred to

LORDS PRAYER ON A PIN.
Seemingly Impossible Feat of 'Enerav
ing Performed by New York Man.

Probably we have all heard OF one
dollar gold pieces with the Lords
Prayer engraved on one side. Several
years ago these were worn by many
as watch charms. Occasionally even
now one may be seen thus worn. Such
minute engraving may well be consfd-
cred skiIlful work
But recently this has been made to
seem, at least by comparison, quite a
simple matter because Mr.. William l..
Stuart, young man engaged in bust
ness in New York city, has performed
the seemingly impossible feat of en-
craving the entire Lords Prayer on
the head of an ordinary pin, to which
he has added his name and the year,
making altogether 276 letters and fig
ures, says St Nicholas.
Mr.. Stuart did the work at odd
times during his regular employment
and with very ordinary tools. which
seemingly are not adapted to such fine
engraving. The pin was set in a block
of wood and a common engrayer's
tool was used. A simple microscope,
costing only about rs cents, and known
as linen tester.' furnished the nee
essary magnifying.

now open your hand, and, much to the
establishment of your audience, the

This capital trick may be varied IN
g hundred ways. One good way is to
take three dimes or quarters, and,
conceaIing one in the palm of your
left hand, place the other two, one
each between the thumb and fore
finger of each hand, then give the coin
in the right hand the twirl as already
described, and, closing both hands
quickly, the coin in the right hand
will disappear up your sleeve, and the
left hand, on being Enclosed, will be
found to contain two quarters, while
that which was in the right will have
disappeared, Thus you will make the
surprised spectators believe that you
coniured the coin from the right hand
into the left.

ELECTRIC cHAFlNe DISH.
How the Heat Is Produced in the
Vessel.

Whenever electricity is flowing
through wire the temperature of that
wire is raised above the surrounding
atmosphere. The amount of heat de-
veloped depends upon the nature of
the conducting wire and its size. 1t
is fact that every path through
which electricity flows offers some OBJ
struction to the flow This quality is
known as resistance, and the resis-
lance of difinite length of wire of a
given diamater of any material can
readily be measured. 1t is expressed
In units called "ohms'' after the Ger
man scientist, DR.. George F. Ohm, who
discovered this law of electrical flow.
An "ohm" is the equivalent to the re-
sistance of 251 feet of copper wire
about the size of wire hairpin. A
steel wire of the same size and length
would have a resistance of about seven
"ohms.''
The heat developed in any conductor
with a given amount of current flow
ing through it depends upon this re
sistance." If one part Of the circuit
has a higher resistance than another
the most heat will be generated there

were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love of
their work.
It is fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor Oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, a bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of

"Grape-Nuts" as daily food is the

TWO Beautiful New Scenes Suggested
for chlIdren's PartiesA

The following tableaux are appro-
pirate for the holiday season, and are
very pretty The first one described is
Little Red Riding-Hood." For back
ground, a large folding screen was
bent about in various ways A fox's
head appeared looking over the top of
one of its folds, and Little Red Riding
Hood stood knocking at another leaf,
as If it were a door. She was dressed
as usual, and with a basket on her
arm. Large plants and ferns were
placed on benches OF different height,
to from background. In the second
scene, the fox's head was on a pillow
in a bed, which was arranged with
blankets and sheets. Red Riding-Hood
stood by, with her hand on the bed and
her basket on the floor The plants, of
course, were removed for this scene,
says the Peoples Home Journal.
Afternoon tea was the next tableau
A small table was set with little tea
things, and at this table one little girl
was seen standing, with milk jug in
her hand, opposite child sitting
down, with a large old-fashtoned bon
net sIung on her arm. The child stand
ing up was dressed in an old-fashioned
lilac muslin dress. very full, and rather
long short-puffed sleeves, a broad old
gold coIored sash, and beads round the
neck. The other child wore a pink
dress with crimson sash and white
beads.

Heat is developed everywhere in the
