Judge j. w. Adams Monday
morning opened to one-week
term Of criminal court here and
in his charge took occasion to
touch matters that are seldom
emphasized BY the judge.
In addressing the grand jury
he asked that all negligence that
result in death or serious bodily
harm, such as railroad wrecks.
be investigated by them, declar-
ing that the law makes it q duty
to find the truth of these matters
and a crime on the part of those
who allow them to exist. He
referred to the question of child
labor and asked that such mat
tiers as these have the especial
attention of the grand jurors.
Upon the law which requires
that no train crew work in ex-
cess Of sixteen hours. he spoke
Of its wisdom and asked that all
the laws against such conditions

or telegraph duty be upheld.
Mr.. w. II. Pfitchard is forp4n

The Judge gave small comfort
to the violator of the law con-
vicJed by Judge Sykes and ap-
pealed to the upper court. he

Grey" and "eray."

What is the difference. II any, be-
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter of spelling?
The editor of the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage, and found that opinions
in London varied. Replies to his ques-
tions showed that in Great Britain
the form grey is the more frequent
in use despite the authority of DR..
johnson and later photographers, who
give the preference to gray. Many
correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference OF
meaning. or application, the distinc-
ton most generally recognized being
that grey donates a more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others con
sidered the difference to be that gray
is a warmer color. or that 1t has a
mixture of red or brown Another
group held that grey has more OF
sentiment. gray more of color, which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. had a physi-
clan treat him. but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still ne
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
SO bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a box Of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
Of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
OF Ointment.

brings me into many different fam
flies and 1t is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend

CHAPTER Ix.-contInued.)

The conclusion was obvious and we
fell away from our point of vantage
at the door and looked at each other
with scared and troubled faces. Our
attempts to make match for Agatha
Sixth and win Terhune fortune were
certainly going wrong with ven
geance.
But the worse was not yet. Before
we had time to more than breathe
new complication presented itself in
the shape Of the sudden appearance Of
Agatha Sixth upon the scene.
We met her at the foot of the stairs
Just as we were going up, wrapper
clad and with long black braids hang
ing over her shoulders. felt myself
grown quite cat-like in regard to see
ing in the dark, and had perceived
who she was and the vital necessity
of keeping our discovery secret from
her, before my wife had time to more
than gasp a greeting.
'Is that you. Agatha Lawrence?"
she inquired.
Yes. What is it?' whispered back
Agatha Sixth. peering at us from the
stairs, and by Jove, felt SO sorry for

/ cursed myself for blunderer as
she said It, Then Dearest had go
at the situation, and felt that If this
attempt failed we could do nothing
more to save the girl from the certain
misery she seemed so eager to bring
upon herself
'T lit the lamp. darling" she said,
standing directly in front Of the doors

on, "to see II there was much damage
done. We forgot to turn II out, but

from her purpose so easily Some In

lay behind those closed doors con

first time, as she's usually cold lit
tie thing, and Dearest, as II convinced
that II was for the best after all

1t didn't take long, the delivery OF
the blow, and Agatha Sixth took II
like a martyr. One glimpse was
enough. Then she turned and silently
led the way to the stairs.
At the door of our guests room

DECLINE IN BEEF PRICES
CHEAPER CUTS TAKE A SLIGHT
TUMBLE IN CHICAGO.
Reduction Is Only Half Cent a
Pound and May Not Be Felt
in Washington.

CHICAGO. H.. June 15.-The first
change made in dressed beef prices in
three weeks by wholesalers when into ef-
feet today. 1t was a reduction of half
a cent pound.
What added particular significance to
the reduction announced was the fact that
it affected only the cheaper cuts of dress
ed beef. bringing No. 3 rounds to 81
cents, and No. / chucks to 9k cents. as
contrasted with . and 10 cents. respective
ly, before the decline was enforced.
These are the cuts on which an increase
was predicted.
Managers of the local branches of the
Chicago beef houses state that they have
no advices regarding a reduction in the
wholesale prices on cuts of beef.
Prices here today are the same as those
early in the week. ranging from to l.
cents per pound. according to grade. The
local market. the dealers say. is gov
erned largely by local conditions. The
managers here receive q basis price each
week as a guide for prices, but it Is stated
that this basis does not fix the price, the
managers being governed by the local de-
mand and the stock on hand.
