car by the prosecutions witnesses,
Immediately following a similar eX-
animation by witnesses for the de-
fense, an expert discovered a. few
strands of hair, thought to be from
the head of Mrs. Louise Owen Beattie.
Detectives for the prosecution imme-
diately went to confirm the find.
detective Scherer said the finding
of the hair under a seat cushion indi-
Gated the cushion was up and was in
line with the prosecutions theory
that the woman's head was concealed

home Immediately after the tragedy.
When Douglass Beattie took the
stand early today he admitted, upon
cross-eXamination by Prosecutor Wen

mobile to and fro and about the scene
of the crime if he had known they
would lay the crime against my broth
er." The witness also said he would
have washed and cleaned the car that
very night.
The prosecution drew this forth on
Dissemination and by its questions
sought to lay a charge of destroying
evidence upon Douglass for having
some blood washed from the machine
before the authorities seized it.

by the commission in charge to make
the South Atlantic show this year a
proper introduction to the great show

announced that Mr.. Stevenson, secre-
tary of the National Corn show, had
offered his services and would be the

Friday'S Evidence PerfunctOry.

Chesterfield C. H., Va, Sept. H.
Testimony today was perfunctory in
it's character. Several women friends
of the accused and his dead wife tes-
Jifed that the couple lived happily to-
~geJher.
The question of whether Mrs. Beat
tie was shot while standing On the
running board or, as her husband in
sists, while she sat in the front seat
to the left of him, again was raised
today when several automobile eX-
perts testified that a large pool of
blood, such as was found at the
scene of the crime, could have trick
led through the machinery of the car
and flowed from the drip pan under
meath to the ground. The testimony
of the automobile experts was in line
with the contention that blood dripped
from the machine in many places from
the scene Of the crime to the Owen
home in Richmond, where the young
husband took his dead wife.
The defense introduced score of
witnesses to attack various other de-
tails in the evidence of the prosecu@
ton, and tomorrow it is expected the
prisoner will make emphatic contra
diction Of his cousin Paul's entire tes-
timony, clinging to his story told at
the -coroner's inquest that a bearded
highwayman murdered his wife and
that he took no part in a transaction
concerning the purchase Of the shot
gun.
The prisoner was more cheerful at
the end of today's session than he has
been for some time. AS each of his
five women friends who testified en-
tered the court room he smiled and
greeted them warmly. His gray-hair-
ed father, who sat beside him, escort
ed each to the witness stand, and
when Hazel Beattie, his daughter, took
the stand to testify to Henry's pleas
ant home life, the aged parent bent
over and kissed the young girl as she
stepped to the witness chair.

Theory Developed.

Chesterfield c. H., Va, Aug. 81
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for
the murder of his wife, sobbed like a
child today when his gray-haired
father, in a low, tremulous voice, told
Of the domestic felicity of his son and
the slain woman. 1t was the first
time that the stoical calm of the pris-
oner's countenance had given away,
The examination of the father came as
the climax of a dramatic day. Tomor-
row the accused himself will go on
the stand and the defence will rest it's
case;
Battering constantly against the
testimony of Paul Beattie, cousin of
the prisoner, as to the purchase of
the gun, his delivery of it to Henry
and the subsequent conversations with
the accused, the defence introduced
several witnesses to cast doubt upon
the yeracity of Paul.
Prisoners Grandfather on Stand.
David Beattie, Henry's grandfather,
testified that Paul's~ character was not
good. Another intense period in the
trial for which apparent regret was
shown was when the aged man told
of his grandson's shortcomings.
Paul has maintained ever since the
beginning of the trial that he dis
posed of the shotgun the same day he
bought it, yet David testified that on
the Sunday previous to the murder
he saw Paul with shotgun.
E. H. Lewis declared that people
spoke of Paul Beattie "as the biggest
liar in town"
Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., father OF
the accused, was interrogated before
court adjourned for the day. AS he
stepped to the witness stand the pris-
oner's face flushed. The white-haired
man, his face deeply Wrinkled and
pale, spoke in a voice scarcely above
a whisper.
Loved His Daaghter.in-LaW.
Counsel leaned forward over the
bench to listen to him. He talked with
great effort, repressing an eVer-recur-
rent emotion. He told of how his life
had been saddened by the death Of
some of his children. He described
the death of his wife. He described
the love that had existed between
Henry and his wife and how he loved
his daughter-in-law.
when Henry was born," speaking
of the dead woman, cit was like start
ing life over for me to see the grand
child. 1t drew US all together very
much
The father spoke highly of his sons
character, and controverted the testi-
mony of many witnesses for the pros
secution that Henry showed no signs
of grief after his Wife's murder. Hei
declared he sobbed and moaned al
most all night after the tragedy.

Hard on MiSSOuSianS.

Professor Frederick w. Williams, OF
Yale, who is an expert on China, be-
lieves too many missionaries to the
Chinese are tactless, according to the
New York Sun. To their taCtleSsness
he imputes the small number of Chin
csc converts.
Professor Williams, at luncheon at
Princeton, said last month:
q have known missionaries as ig-
norant of tact as jim Driscoll was ig-
norant of foot rules.
Jim Driscoll, a farm boy got jot
in a steel mill and his boss gave him q
foot rule one day, and said:
Measure me that plate out there
in the yard
Jim at the end of a half hour, re-
turned and said:
The plate is the length of the rule
and three fingers over, with this piece
of cobblestone, and the stem of my
pipe, and my foot from here to here
bar the toecap.'"

" Cobb's Correspondence.

Ty Cobb, Detroit's star player, gets
as much mail every day as a member
of Congress, according to the Popular
Magazine. Letters come to him from
girls who admire his style of beauty
from boys who sturdy his style of bat

attempted to answer them all his bat
ting arm would soon be a wreck.
One morning, in Chicago, he was eX-

NEW" THOUGHT on AN OLD
SUBJECT.

Since the flowers first began bloom
in in the Garden of Eden, mans
thoughts have been directed toward
the eternaily interesting question of
love and love-making. And the last
word on the subject has not yet been
spoken. and it will not be said until
the last heartbeat has been stilled
But Rev George L. Parker, of Salem,
Mass, has thrust himself into the lime
light with a new view on the question
of divorce 1t is the contention of Mr..
Parker that love is an art. largely a
lost art; that it can be taught like
manual and liberal arts; that the
place to teach it is in the school and
the church. His exact words are:
Love is capable of being reduced to
scientific formulas like mathematics.
Start to impress on the child the mean
ing of universal and brotherly love.
Show him that this, being social
world. and cooperation being neces-
sary. man must love his fellow man.
You get that from the Bible.
Tell the child to study the qualities
that make the perfect human being, as
II is evident GOD would have made him
perfect. Set them down. Once he can
detect them, let him take persons OF
the opposite sex and measure one
against the other in love points, so TO
speak.
"One that ranks very high by such
measurement of love can be sure 10 be
loved forever. A man who truly loved
a woman never was divorced. More
and more people rush into matrimony
without knowing whether they love
each other or not"
One would not intentionally discount
the views of the Salem minister, but
the thought will not down that if there
is one thing that is difficult to reduce
to science it is the matter of love.
Love is blind" is an observation al
most as old as the rock-ribbed hills,
nd that's whore the lover falls down
in his science program.
Where is the man who can look up
on sparkling blue eyes, a mass OF
rich brown hair and rosy cheeks, and
still think of science! He may think of
it. but it will likely be after he has
learned from sad experience that those
charms are not for him. Then he will
likely think little about the science
part of the experience but more of the
sting

A man who takes his vacation in

o sun and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of juno together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their frtnges tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without a sound of warning
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things,
Their White-winged seeds are sowing
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing.
When springs run low, and on the
rocks
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiselecs in the
hush
OF wods, for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts
BY twos and twos together
And count like misers hour by hour,
OF woods. for winter waiting;
o sun and skies ana flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
