ACTRESS FORGOT THE BIBLE.
Would Have Helped Some When the
 Show Went To Pieces.

From the Denver Republican.
 Close studies of the Scripture and an avoidance of the most harmless white lie should mark the future con- duct of Helen Mcleod, of the Babes in Toyland company.
 This young lady had an experience recently which shows what may be lost by not reading the Bible. Es- pecially after one has promised to peruse it regularly and religiously. It seems that some time ago Miss Me Leod was engaged as prima donna of a company which was to present light opera in Denver. Before she left New York her mother presented her with a fine Testament bound in flexible leath- CT, full gilt edged, printed on India paper, with marginal notes, references

 Did you read your Testament every day, Helen2" asked the mother. ..
 "Yes," replied Miss Mcleod.
 And did you commence with Matthew" continued the doting pa rent.
 "Yes, mother" responded the girl.
 Let me look at the book" said the donor.
 Mrs. Mcleod took the volume and opened it at Matthew, the first chap ter and the first verse. Little Miss Prima Donna was dumfounded to see her mother take out two new closely folded $20 bills.

What Really Ached.

From the DeIlneatOr. Ono day Mary came to her mother and said, "Mother, my ear aches!'
 Docs it ache very bad. Mary?'' asked her mother.
 "No."
 Well, run out and play; then you will forget about it.

ATHENA FARMERS MEETING

Especial Correspondence

Athena, Ore, Feb. S.-There Is
much disappointment among local
farmers over the meeting that was
held here Saturday. 1t was widely ad-
vertised that C. S. Barrett, president
of the national association, would be
present and also that Dr. Blalock
of Walla Walla would address the
meeting. But neither of these gen.
tlemen appeared. The only outside
people in attendance were Messrs
Cox and Sykes, the former being the
organizer for the general association.
However, meeting was held and
it is understood that an organization
was perfected, though not upon the
scale expected.

Says McBroOm Was The Agressor.

He showed that in every case, the
testimony brought up showed that
McBroom was the aggressor and had
made the remarks to the effect that
no wouid mako tha -

he would make the -
- fight or that he would kill
him, that he had threatened to kill
him; that he had seen McBroom and
Outright in the neighborhood of his
home, carrying guns, and that after
the fight McBroom started at Horse
man again at which Horseman pull
the gun and fired.
In closing the remarks of the de-
fense he said: Can you, gentlemen
Of the jury, have any doubt of the
pictures that flashed before the mind
Of this poor old man when the de-
ceased, who was young man weigh
ing 1S1 pounds, started back towards
the defendant after he had given him
such a brutal beating, that broke the
bridge of his nose, bruised his face
lacerated his fingers and put him
in such a mtuilated condition? Can
you doubt that he saw McBroom COM
ing toward him to take him off his
horse during the fence trouble? 20.
YOU not see that there flashed before
his mind the climbing of McBroom
over the fence after him to give him
one of his threatened beatings? Did
he not see Outright lowering in front
of his house with a rifle? Did he not
remember the warnings he had re-
ceived from his neighbors in regard
to the threats that McBroom had
made? Did not the blow that was
dealt him on the side of the head
that sent him staggering backward
come to his mind at that time? And
the subsequent beating which he re-
ceived and the sight of the knife
which McBroom had dropped in the
melee? Can you doubt that all these
flashed on his mind at that Instant
that he saw McBroom start to return
toward him with the vile curses and
oaths?
Asks for Acquittal.
Gentlemen of the jury, the out
ward wounds have healed up but
down in the heart of that poor, old
unfortunate man Is a deeper wound;
the most cruel wound of all, that he
should be indicted on the charge of
murder and be found guilty of man
slaughter when he did under the same
circumstances the same thing any
man with the highest developed in
stinct would do, and l ask you to
bring back a verdict of acqulttal."
With these and other pleas of a
similar charactur the counsel for de-
fense closed his remarks and when he
had finished tears were streaming
down the defendants face and occa-
sionally sob would shake his frame,
while some of the jury members were
visibly affected also by the eloquence
Of the plea.
At the time the paper went to press
Attorney Phelps was speaking. The
case will probably go to the jury this
evening, but it is doubtful whether a
verdict will be reached until morn
ing.

in the franchise and other fees from
Delaware corporations since the law was

At that time it was argued that decreased
fees and franchise taxes would prove a
magnet TO attract many companies to take
cut Delaware charters. but according 10

case.

1T will be observed, continues Mr.

belonging to the general fund IS larger by
more than 10000 than was the balance at
the close Of the fiscal year one year ago.
The balance then appearing was larger
than had appeared at the corresponding
period for a number OF years. 1t should
be born in mind. however. that the bal
