she became frightened and hid under
a bed. She came down stairs and saw
the bodies Of DR.. Armstrong and lis
wife lying on the floor and her son
standing in the middle of the Kitchen
with a gun in his hands. She further
told the prosecutor that she deferred
announcing the murder because SHE
wished to shield her son.
Because of this statement given to
the prosecutor tonight, the woman is
held as a material witness. She is in
bad physical condition and was not
placed in q cell, but sent to q ward
in the Jail hospital The prosecutor
stated tonight that he was satisfied
that the woman had no knowledge of
the impending murder.

that Sears HAD made a confession, but
he says that he will not divulge the

county official. that he shot DR.. Arm
strong first and then killed his wife
The shooting occurred between the
hours Of Z and s o'clock.
The statement attributed to Sears
that his mother knew of the shooting
shortly after it occurred" is borne out
by the woman'S story which she tolG
to the prosecutor tonight.

GIRLS WHO TALK AND SEW
To Learn to Converse and Keep Her
Fingers Busy at the Same Time
Is a Graceful Art.

One of the most graceful arts that a
girl can acquire is to learn to con
versre and keep her fingers busy at the
same time. There are girls who can
talk well and girls who do needlework
well, but they rarely combine the two
accomplishments skilfully.
One of the secrets Of the art Is to
avoid doing in public any piece of work
which requires close attention. BE
clever at accomplishing a good deal by
always having on hand certain kinds
of work, or work at certain stages,
which admits of its being done more
or less automatically, and let this oe.

your first interest and attention and
that your work must be the secondary

MANS WORD MUST Be KEPT
Essential of Business Life 10 to Have
the Confidence Of Your
Associates.

A mans word Is his stock in trade,
and it cannot DO broken without in
Turing his commercial standing. Many
good men grow careless Of their word
and fail to see the importance Of keep
ing It until they have suffered some
serious consequence. There are those
whose word is said to be as good as
their bond. Whether 1t is or not,
their word must be good, for the world
Is not easily deceived about such mat
tiers.
Keeping ones word is more often
matter of habit than character. Good
men, with the best OF intentions,
sometimes become careless in respect
to a promise, statement or an en-
gagement. and while no harm is
meant, it might as we'll be, for one
cannot habitually break his word
without losing his caste as man of
his word" Nothing is more essential
fldence, and confidence, after all, rests
entirely upon ones care in doing what
he says he will do. This matter of
personal integrity cuts larger figure

willing to admit 1t is one of the de-

to distrust a mans reliability as to his
word, and 1t will soon discount his

give one an ample choice-malines,
especially those that are waterproofed,
are very useful and the fashion Of
drawing maline over the feather trim
ming to keep 1t from blowing about
Is sensible and pretty as well as thor
oughly appreciated.
In fashioning the trimming for such
a hat. folds and plaitings or other COM
pact arrangements of the fabric used,
are altogether desirable for they are
not easily disarranged. The hats of
silk braid and silk hats with velvet
facings are often simply trimmed with
big bows made of taffeta or corded
silk. A single strip of silk is split
along the center, lengthwise, hemmed
at the edges and stiffened by thrust
ing fine wire in the hens. A single
large NOW and collar made of two
yards of silk, which makes a strip
four yards long, Is all the trimming
required. It's great advantage lies in
the fact that 1t may be taken off,
freshened, pressed and replaced on
the hat.
There are any number of pretty and
inexpensive fancy feathers to choose
from and they are all made from the
plumage of domestic fowls or birds
that we may use with a clear con.
science. Wings always make smart
trimming and the big ornaments,
many of them in Persian colorings
and designs, are destined to be great

times in accord with her conceived
notions of biblical Injunction.
Pastor Pickersgill said he could
find no authority for such ceremony,
and when he appeared before the
crowd on the shore he announced that
the ceremony would not take place.
He had helped plant the cross in the
sand with rocks about its base, when
the tide was low, just as Mrs. Plum
desired, but there would be no cere.

"Yes, there will, brother" exclaimed
Mrs. Plum, who suddenly appeared In
