Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-05-13

To give the poor and ignorant citi-
iens the same chance for acquittal as
the rich and powerful, Samuel Inter
myer, the noted New York jurist, ad-
vocated at the recent meeting of the
Social and Political Science Academy
in Philadelphia the provision of a pub
lie defender as we'll as a public prose-
cutor. He asserted that unjust convic-
tons among the poor and helpless. and
especially among our foreign pOpula-
ton, are far more frequent than we
f~ortunates care to admit" This is es-
pecially true where the accused are too
poor to furnish bail or employ coun-
sci. Untermeyer said that the great
est evil in the system Of criminal law
at present was the prevalence of false
swearing, and that perjury is commit
ted in three trials out of five, but is
rarely punished. owing to the severity
Of the penalties.

stage in the house and watched over
the corpse of David. The whole scene
was but a repetition of that which hld
taken place when Maurice had died.
Both young men had persisted from the
effects of the Internal African poison.
Both had persisted in the bloom OF
youth; and on the right hand OF each
was the fatal wound which had cor
ruptcd the blood. But the corpse OF
David was here. The corpse of Maui
rice, where? Only DR.. Etwald could
answer the question, and he, released
on the charge of murder, was now cut
on bail for the theft of the corpse.
While the Major was wondering what
would be the outcome of all the terri
BILE events which had filed the last few
weeks, Jaggard entered the library,
and announced hat Mrs. Dallas and
her daughter wishes to see him. AL
though he was unwilling to speak to
those who had cause these troubles,
Jen had no reasonable grounds for re-
fusing an interview. Therefore he gave
orders that the ladies SHOULD be shown
into the d~raWing-rOOm When he re-
paired thither, however, he found to
his surprise that Mrs. Dallas only was
waiting for him.
Il could not get Isabella further than
the door of your house, exclaimed
Mrs. Dallas, who was in deep mourn
ing, whether for Maurice or David, or
for the loss of Dido, it is impossible to
say.
why did she not come in?' asked
Jen, coldly, for he did not feel very
amiably disposed towards the widow.
II don't know. She is Il strange gil,
Major, and the events of the last few
weeks have shaken her nerves.'

Jen, Grimly. Bat We need not discuss
these things, Mrs. Dallas. May | ask
why you have paid me this visit?'
ITO tell you that we are going away.
Back to Barbadocs," replied Mrs. Dali

what has taken place here, l can stay
no longer in America. | shall sell my
house and leave for the West ndies
with my daughter within the month.

TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR GROWING
Demands of Fashion Create Profit
able Industry in German Cities.

able Industry in German Cities.
Owing to demands of fashion, Ger
man imports and exports OF human
hair have increased greatly during the
asst year. Imports of human hair were
112.4 metric tons, of 2,204.6 pounds
each, in 1908, and 1856 tons in 1909,
while the exports increased from 33.S
to Gal tons. Germany imported from
China 5S.7 tons of hair in 1909, and
4S.6 tOnS from Austria the same year.
An idea of the vast quantity of hair
indicated by these figures may be OBJ
tanned by remembering that the aver
age weight of a full growth of hair
from the head Of a healthy woman in
the prime of life is about half a pound.
Chinese hair is the most abundant and,
therefore, the cheapest. White hair is
the most valuable, old people seldom
possessing a full growth. Hair from
China undergoes a complicated chem
ical and mechanical process to make
it thinner, and is bleached and dyed.
High prices charged for human hair
have led to the Introduction of many
substitutes, chiefly vegetable fibers, but
seldom are these sufficiently flexible to
De successful limitations.

GENTLEMEN OF OLD SCHOOL.

some Observations About IL type EN-
listing II Generation Ago.
Not very long ago there was a dap
per old gentleman OF 9O-odd years
who, having published in mis- youth a
famous technical book that remains
in wide demand ever to this day,
used to call frequently at his publish
ers, on matters of business, Harper's
Weekly says. Although his face eX-
pressed an almost mummifcd effect
of great age and his carriage was a
little jerky in the nature of its spry-
ness, he was, nevertheless, clad upon
these occasions in the latest fashion
of a beau about town. His clothes
were not plain. One recalls their Ell
feet of having a pattern-was it an
invisible check or plaid?-his trousers
were creased and generally light in
hue; his neckties were not those of a
nan of 90-odd and over his trim,
pointed shoes he wore light tan gait
ers. The browning glory of his garh
like a brave wild flower glowing
upon an ancient ruin-was the carna'
ton which was never absent from the
lapel of his coat, except when he pre-
scented it with a low bow to some fair
lady. A gallant gentleman, who de-
clined to surrender to 6 and was
only conquered by death because of
that iron necessity of our human
fate.
The society of which he was a prod.
uct has passed. Then men of his day
regarded women as the fair sex, with
all which the words imply; they her
ished them, yet as something not too
good for human natures daily food,
and they even wrote verses to them
involving such phrases as hearts
fragrance" modest eyes, "bashful
sweetness and the like, and in such a
handwriting of our contemporary
business men; it had an almost
feminine delicacy and a precision
which is now supplied only by the
typewriting machine.
There were many specimens OF this
verse and this chirography of 1928
in an old book which came lately by
chance into the hands of the Weekly
one of those autograph albums bound
in red leather and ta%stefully fooled
in gilt, which were owned by the
young ladies Of the period, and withs
in whose pages were embalmed the
sentimental addresses Of their admir-:
ers.
Openly chivalrous in tone, tender
in spirit, what has become of the
young men of 1928 who were not
ashamed to write a copy of verses il
their ladies' albums? Contemporaries.
Gus gentlemen, armored in the Cog
giles and g~auntlets of the motor car,
might be inclined to sheer at them.

Just about two years age, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an in~tolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch

heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tane
gled terribly because of the blood n

finger-tips would be bloody. l could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain

Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies

I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,

months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. 1 com

once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp | used about one-half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu

Naturally, the tragic end of the
counsel for the defence created a great
sensation. The trial was brought to an
abrupt conclusion, the court was

taken to the residence of Major Jen.

Cudahy, when the latter found him in
his home early Sunday, will be able to

With the recovery Of Lillis assured
interest centers upon Mrs. Cudahy
who has announced she will bring no
action for divorce against her hus-
band, although she will not live with
him again.
General John c.. Gown, Of Omaha,
father of Mrs. Cudahy, is at the Cud-
ahy home, where his daughter has re-
mained since the ,Lillls affair. Mrs.
Cudahy related the story of the at
tack to her father. declaring a new
automobile was the direct cause of
the trouble. General Gown declared
his daughter was innocent of any
wrong doing. He expressed the same
opinion as that of Mrs. Gown In
Omaha yesterday. declaring that jeal-
ousy on the part of Cudahy had led
to the attack.
The rope with which Lillis was tied

legged to have been used in the attack
are still in the Cudahy library. Mrs.
Cudahy declares her husband struck
her with a lamp when he rushed into

General Gown Is angered at the at
tempts of Cudahy to discredit his
daughter and said that from his in

reason for Cudahy declaring that Lii

reason he could see, he said, was that
