WHEN THE PHRENoLoo,or FELL

dsntiy a Weak Point.

Mayor II yburn OF Philadelphia told
at dinner "A horse story.
"A ,aFtEer visited phrcnologIst." d"
he said. lie hId heard that the phre-
noiogist thought OF buying horse. lie
had his head examined and his bumps
revealed surprising things.
Your tastes are the simple. home.
ly and pure tastes OF farmer said
the phrenoiogist. and farmer take
you to be. Am | not right? Aha, |
thought so. You are unrcady and fal-
tering In speech; you find 1t difficult
to express the simplest ideas. You
are sadly deficient in judgment and
have no knowledge OF human nature
Your innocent and trustful disposition
renders you an easy dupe TO design.

esty prevents you from either suspect.

The phrcnologist the following
week bought a horse from the farmer.
The horse was knock-kneed, II was 25
years old. II had bad temper. and II
baked. Though the farmer had only
paid SIS for the animal. he secured
without difficulty $3.50 from the phre.
nologist for 1t.
Its wonderful said the farmer to
himself. as he hastcned toward the
bank to deposit the money-'it's Jest
wonderful that a man should know so
much about men and not know n thing

Another Bic Irrigation Project or

They say there is a big irrigation
project on tap on the north side near
Sugar City, with Lake Meredith as
the source of supply. The scheme Is
to build a big dig ditch from either
Horse Creek or the Arkansas river
and I'LL the lake with the flood waters
of those two streams. 1t will increase
the volume of water In the lake to
such an extent that 1t will have
sufficient capacity to irrigate 100000
acres of land.-La Junta Tribune.

Wise Men.

Although a wise man is evacting
toward himself he does not demand
anything of others. He is content with
his lot and never complains of heaven.
He never blames others for his fate
therefore, when he finds himself in a
low state. he submits to fate. An
ordinary mortal, seeking earthly bliss,
falls into dangers.
When the arrow does not hit the
target he who shoots it blames only
himself and no one else. Even SO
does the wise man act.-Confucius.

BOARD Of TRADE
TAKES ON NEW
LIFE

The Chamber of Commerce is
taking on new life under the d.
rection of Secretary Sommers and
a library and laboratory is one of
the new features being opened
this week. The vacant room
formerly used as committee
room to the north of the maiu
office in the Commerce street end
of the building is now being fitted
up with a library for reference
that will include many valuable
works that have been stored away
for years where no one could get
at them.
A new index card system is also
being installed for the proper
handling of literature so that a
follow up campaign can be car
ried on with inquirers who are
seeking information with a view
to locating here.
In the same room a laboratory
will be established for the preser
walton of fruits for the exhibit
room which is now ASSUMING
proportions, making it one of tn
finest exhibits in the state.

second time since her arrest last
May Mrs. Kvalshaug gave way to
her emotions yesterday afternoon,
and for nearly an hour she wept
in the courtroom. Her usually un-
concerned and calm face was the
picture of despair and misery,
and her eyes were swollen with
|crying.
What brought on the unexpect-
ed breakdown could not be i'm
lagined. The testimony being
given at the time was that of
physicians, who told of the effect
physically and mentally that an
operation performed upon her last
April would have with reference
to her condition when she made
the confession. 1t was agreed by
the three doctors, DR.. w. T. VIII
Hanson, DIR. w. N. Keller and DR..
Charles d. Hunter, that the wom-
ans physical condition at the
time of the murder would neces-
sarily have been precarious one.
The experts were not subjected
to cross-examination by the state,
much to the surprise of those who
have heard the trial. 1t was gen.
orally expected that the states
attorneys would be unusually Sc
we're in cross-examining these mer
with view to tearing down the

CRUELTY

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SPOKANE, Nov. 17.-Attorney
David X. Tone, associated with
Clarence barrow, arrived from
Chicago today to take charge of
the Industrial Workers of the
World fight for free speech. Fifty
more casese where men have been
convicted of disorderly conduct
for speaking on the streets were
appealed to the superior court
today, making a total of 10
cases.
Robert j. Huston, an Indus
trialist, who came into court yes

blood, signed an affidavit today
charging the officers with beat
ing him into Inconsistencies and
knocking out some of his teeth
with brass knuckles while he was
confined in Jail. Another damage
suit will be filed against the city
as a result.
The Huston affidavit alleges
that conditions in the Jail are

A LIBERAL OFFER
Anyone Can Try Samose, the Re-

markable Flesh-FOrming Food.
When one of the leading drug
gists in Tacoma tells you that they
have a preparation which they SO
thoroughly believe in that they
will refund your money IL it does
not do all that is claimed for it,
it shows that the article must have
unusual merits. 1t is in this way
that the Ryner Malstrom Drug
Co. is selling Samose, the re-
markable flesh-building food.
This great discovery is destined
to work great revolution in
treating the thin, the weak and
the sick. There can be no doubt
that it helps people who are weak
and sickly, who are tired, and who
have poor digestion, restoring
them quickly to health and
strength, and increasing the
weight so that life is a pleasure
and joy.
Samose is in reality a concen-
trated food, and restores life and
vitality at once to the blood. 1t
mixes with the ordinary foods and
aids digestion; it extracts from
the food that you eat the flesh
forming and strength giving ele-
ments, building up the tissues and
the general health.

ALMA BELL CASE

Manuel and Joe Armes had gone
to bed in the cabin on the night
of the killing, when they were
aroused by a dog barking. They
heard the gate open and heard
footsteps. Then they heard Alma
Bell call:
You boys sleeping already?"
He said that Joe Armes up
braided the girl for riding
around with other fellows" and
injuring the horse by driving it
against barbed wires.
He told how Alma cried, and
added;
Joe got mad and got up out
of bed. Alma asked him to come
to the door, and Alma said:
Manuel Neves has been telling all
kinds of lies about me-
Joe told her that it was not
the first lie that had been told
about her, and then she cried at
the top of her voice. Joe let her
in, after three-quarters of an
hour, and Alma kept on crying.
Joe kept ordering her to go home.
Then she went into another room
and threw herself on the bed,
sobbing."
Grinko told how the girl said
she had told Mrs. Armes that she
was going to spend the night with
Mrs. Fitzgerald, and didn't want
Mrs. Armes to catch her in a lie.
He said she pleaded to be allowed
to stay all night at the cabin, but
that Joe would not let her. He
said Joe ordered her to go to Mrs.
Fitzgerald5s, and that she re-
fused.
Went to His Death.
Then Joe got mad" said the
witness, land said he would go
to his mothers house If she did
not leave the cabin. He got up
and dressed and left the cabin,
followed by Alma Bell and Man
uel. Joe told her to stay at the
cabin alone If she wanted to, but
she followed him."
The witness then told how he
heard the shot that killed Joe,
five or ten minutes after Manuel
returned to the cabin. This dis
agreed with that set by Frank
Armes yesterday. He said that
the time was only from two to
five minutes. The longer the
time, the better it is for the de-
