A Tender-hearted Maid.

From the Widow.
Once upon q time there lived child Of
gentle mien and manners mild: she was
so tender and so kind she wept to see a
window blind. She feared it might give
the window pain to leave it standing in
the rain. Her maiden aunty she would
beg not to stone raisins. beat an egg or
from potatoes take the eyes. Oh. how
this maid did agonize, Ard when she
saw her whipping cream, with horror she
would sob and scream. The very thought
OF killing time appeared to her dreadful
crime. and though to music she inclined,
TO beat a measure seemed unkind. To see
the cowslip by the river with apprehen-
sion made her shiver: to cut a page or
turn It down would cause a deprecating
frown. And when she saw them SILVER
ing In the chill autumn air she knitted
stockings for the trees because their limbs
were bare. Her heart SO oft with anguish
wrung caused this poor maid to die quite
young.

PERISHABLE EVIDENCE.
Proved Too Tempting for n Jury
and "A Defendant.
From Case and Comment.

From Case and Comment.
In its zeal to absorb all the facts IN
the case a jury in the District Court at
Salt Lake City not only nullihed its own
verdict Of guilty but made it impossible
for the prosecution TO make out a case
before another jury.
A druggist was on trial for selling
liquor without a license. While deliber-
ating, the jury sent for the exhibit, a
flask Of whisky. When it was returned
to the court room. Judge Lewis noticed
that il was empty.
He reprimanded and dismissed the
Jury. and notified the defense that a
motion for a new trial would be granted.
The motion was made. and the State will
have to dismiss the case for lack Of its
chief evidence.
On the same day. at Atlantic City, n.
J.. police officials were forced to with
draw a charge of thieving after they
discovered the prisoner had eaten the
evidence.
The patrolman claimed that he caught
the accused stealing pies left by a baker
on the doorstep of a Chelsea cottage.
but on the way to the station house the
prisoner calmly ate the pies and left
no visible signs Of the theft. Lacking
evidence. Recorder Keffer offered to al
low the man 10 go If he would leave
the city, and the proposition -as crate
fully accepted.

MURDOCH SAYS KANSAS
HAS FACED THE RIGHT

Wichita, Kans.. Aug 3.-There was
great JOY in the house OF Murdoch here
to-day. Representative Victor Murdoch
hoarse, fatigued. and i'll from his speak
ing tour in behalf OF insurgency in Kan
sas, retired early last night, hoping for
a glorious insurgent victory. He awoke
TO find his hopes had been realized ex-
cept in two Congressional districts.
"Well. WE'LL" said he. when assured
the victory was the insurgents. Il can
hardly believe it is so overwhelming
that's the word. overwhelming-yet
knew it would be just that way"
Mr.. Murdoch sat at his telephone at
his residence and heard the news and
received congratulations from his towns
men. Many long-distance telephone mes
sages came TO congratulate him as the
man who led the rumpus that brought
forth yesterdays victory
You can depend on the people OF Kan
sas 70 do the right thing at the right
time" said Mr.. Murdoch THE signih-
canoe Of the overwhelming insurgent VIC
tory in Kansas is twofold. First, Il is a
complete reputation Of both Cannon and
the system by which he robbed the peo-
pie Of free government in the House.
Scott, Miller and Reeder were chairmen
OF important House committees, while
Calderhead was on the Ways and Means
Committee. All were beaten because
they subscribed to the Cannon system.
Second, the Kansas insurgent victory is
an effort by the Republicans OF Kansas
to say with emphasis 70 the nation that
the Republican party OF Kansas. by in
dorsing Gov. Stubs and the Kansas in
surgents in Congress, stands for inmedi-
ate and effective legislation framed 20
drive special and selfish interests out Of
control in American politics"
