Since Saturday afternoon at ) 'clock
the jury had deliberated over the tes-
timony offered and, at times, the ar
guments in jury room was exciting.
For forty hours the twelve men de-
liberated, and when the last ballot
was taken the jury stood four for ac-
quittal and eight for conviction. All
Saturday night, all through Sunday
and Sunday night the members Of the
jury were confined in their room at
the Mansion House. On Sunday
night they became very restless, and
the men We're asking to be released
Judge Brawley told them that if they
found a verdict at any time on Sat-
urday night, he would receive a seal
ed verdict from them on Sunday, and
dismiss them, but when it was learn
ed that there we're no prospects Of a
verdict on Sunday, the judge left
them to themselves, and when the
court convened this morning called
for their verdict. They reported that
they were unable to agree, and were
promptly dismissed. The jury look
ed worn out, and the men seemed glad
to be free:
The strain of the trial had told on
them. The failure of the jury to find
verdict came as no surprise to men,
bers Of the local bar after the jury
had stayed out for so long. 1t was
looked for, and the large crowd in
the court house this morning when

Ashley stood around the "onrt
house for short while after the ver
dict was rendered, but would not talk
much concerning the case. He vas
looking for a mistrial after Saturday
night.
The case has been one Of the ha ID
est fought that has ever come before
the local bar. and the court room has
been we'll filled at each session Of
court. The taking of testimony last
ed three days, and for one entire
morning Ashley himself was on the
stand testifv;ng under the examina-
ton of the lawyers, at some length
concerning his business and how the
trouble had arisen.

Pointers for Housewives.

To prevent your hands getting red
rough and wrinkled from washing the
dishes and clothes, the floors or wood
work, sprinkle a little Lavadura ir
the water. Not only does it benefit
the hands, the water has double sthe
cleansing power and cleans everything
far quicker and better.
Put some Lavadura in the tub and
the woolen and flannel clothes vii
not shrink, but come out Of the wash
fresh, sweet and soft-just like new
It also prevents colors fading-rath'
er brightens them.
A bath is far more enjoyably re-
freshing and beneficial in water
which has been softened with Lava
dura. It removes all odors caused by
perspiration and "sweetens" the Skin
making it soft and smooth instead o1

follows when a bath is taken in ordl
nary hard water.
In the dairy, Lavadura is unequal
ed for washing milk bottles, can, pans

HOLY GROANING.
The Sin Of Worldly Pleasure In the
Seventeenth Century.

SCECHlSCulH SSnkoJs
Buckle gfSes a graphic picture of the
attitude of the kirk of Scotland to
worldly pleasures during the seven
teenth century. Cheerfulness, especial
" when it rose to laughter, was to be
guarded against. Smiling might occa-
sionally be allowed: still. being car
nal pastime, it was a sin to smile on
Sunday. No husband should kiss his
wife and no mother her child on the
Sabbath day. Testing was incompati-
bic with a holy and serious life. The
ministers were given much to weep
ing, groaning and lamentations. One,
the Rev. Alexander Dunlop. was noted
for his holy groan." To engage in the
frivolous art Of writing poems was
condemned. Men should not disport
themselves with music: dancing was
serious SIM" joyousness even at
christening was q scandal. One should
speak and walk with gravity and So
lemnity; he should not enjoy his din
ner; only the ungodly relished food.
The great object of life was to be in q
state Of aftiiction. Whatever pleased
the senses was to suspected. Whatever
was natural was wrong. The church
men grew sour in countenance. harsh
in voice. Joy and love disappeared or
were forced to hide in obscure corners.

The Journey.

A little work, little sweating,
few brief flying years; little joy, a
little fretting, some smiles and then
some tears; little resting in the shad-
ow, struggle to the height, futile
search for Eldorado-and then we say
good night Some moiling in the strife
and clangor; some years in doubt and
debt; some words we spoke In foolish
anger that we would fain forget; some
CHEEKY words we said unthinking that
made a sad heart light; the banquet,
with it's feast and drinking-and then
we say good night Some questioning
Of creeds and theories and Judgment
Of the dead, while God, who never
sleeps or wearies, Is watching over
head; some little laughing and some
signing; some sorrow, some delight;
little music for the dying-and then
we say good night.-Walt Mason in EN-

HORSES AND DONKEYS.
Early Habits That Domestieation Have
Not Eredicated.

A curious question in evolution was
once put to scientist prominent in the
service of the government. why Is
It," some one asked. that horses shy
and donkcys do not|
The answer was to the following ef-
feet:
The ancestors of the horse were ac-
customed to roam over the plains.
where every tuft Of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting IN
ambush In these circumstances the
must have time and again saved the
lives by quickly starting back or else
suddenly jumping to one side wh ."
without warning some strange object
appeared to them The habit mus
have indeed been a strong one, seein.
that so many years OF domeSucatlon
have not eradicated it.
On the other hand, the donkey is de-
scended from animals that lived among
the hills, with the usual precipices and
dangerous declivities, and from these
conditions, it would appear, there re-
suited it's slowneSs and sure footedneSS.
The donkey's ancestors were not, then.
so liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes. Moreover, sudden
and wild starts would have been pos
itively dangerous to the donkey's for
bears. Consequently they learned to
avoid the characteristic trick Of the
horse. The habit Of eating thistles, pc
culiar to the donkey, seems also to
have been inherited from its ancestors.
In the dry, barren localities they in
habited there was often very little
food therefore they learned to eat the
hard. dry and even prickly plants and

sented itself.-New York Tribune.
