wife. his utter ignorance OF her al
legged poison plot. and the million
aires shake with DEATH" were
brought out In Mrs. Schenk's trial to-
day by Miss Alma c. Evans, profess
sional nurse In the Schenk family.
Mrs. Schenk'se visits TO a fortune
teller and her failure TO become ex-
cited or sorrowful over predictions OF
her husbands death, her expressed
preference Tor younger society men,"
over her elderly business-like hus-
band and her frank fear that In the
event OF her husbands death his
brother. Albert. would secure control
OF the estate. were part OF Miss Evans
testimony.
The Shake with death" as related
by the nurse, was at the sick packers
bedside before his removal to the hos
pital. The husbands own querulous
Impotence precipitated the Incl
dent concerning a quinine bottle. Mrs.
Schenk had ordered the nurse to
shake the bottle. Miss Evans had re-
fused. II was then, according to- the
nurse. that the suffering pan raised
on his elbow In bed. and said:
well, why don't you shake it?"
This bottle, the state claims, con-
tanned part OF the poison given to
the millionaire.
References to her consultations
with the fortune-teller, who Is better
known in Wheeling as spiritualistic
teacher, made Mrs. Schenk smile.
Once when Miss Evans was telling
how Indifferent Mrs. Schenk had
seemed to the seer's tragic prophecy,
the prisoner laughed aud nudged her
attorneys elbow.
Miss Evans testified concerning
Mrs. Schenk's offer to open q water
bottle to keep the nurse from cut
ting her fingers Is regarded as highly
important The state will attempt to
prove that the tainted water the
packer drank, came from this bottle.
Those Dutch devils" is how Mrs.
Schenk referred to her husbands rela-
tives. the nurse testified Her appre-
hension over Albert Schenk's interest
in Johns estate. caused her to ask
the nurse to Get Johns keys IL he
dies, before that Albert can get them"
The keys were to the packers safety

When The Light Failed
BY FRANCES elLsReATH INeERs OIL.

Bless her foolish little heart! She
dreams day and night how beautiful
1t will be to have someone to always
comfort her; to lift her over the
rough places OF life; someone who will
always love her better than all the
world beside.
She dreams of loving service to
him, and how she will make their
home 80 full of sunshine that no cloud
shall ever dim its brightness. Then
they are married.
She wants to be home builder,
and laws away her pretty 'frills" be-
cause she knows dishwater is not
good for frills. nor cook stove the
proper accompaniment to a teagown.
There is a locket with his picture in
1t, too precious to wear every day, but
she kisses ii when he is away, be-
cause his face is in it.
For a while he tells her how pretty
she is; how he appreciates" a home
OF his own; that he wonders how he
ever lived without his Sunbeam"
But sunbeams soon pail upon a man
whose life has been spent in the glare
of the electric and glitter Of gas.
Once nothing was too costly for his
Sunbeam. Now he asks her why she
wears tho same old duds forever"
and grumbles when she asks him for
dollar. She goes with her last
years clothes refurbished and mend
ed. and he pities himself for having
married "dowdy."
He used to carry her over a bit OF
rough road, lest any roughness should
hurt the dear little feet" Now, he
saunters ahead with his hands in his
pockets and calls her "gawky" when
she stumbles.
He grumbles over his coffee At
breakfast, growls at the roast at din
ner, and berates the poor household
at tea.
IL is hard for Sunbeam to shine
when her eyes are full of tears, and
no one looks up nor cares.
But, one day, little Sunbeam's heart
is full of a tender secret that the
angels have whispered to her. She
wants his arms around her while she
tells him; she wants to hear him say
that he is glad, too She lays her head
upon his shoulder; her arms cling
about his neck-just where her low
ing, tender heart is beating lies q
long. long thread of gold'-Sun- |
beams hair is darkest .brown-and
the light goes out of her life forever.
Oh, the pity OF it!

ATTACKS GOVERNMENTS SUIT.
John q. Mliburn Speaks For the Stand
ard OIL Co.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-By spe-
cial dispensation, the supreme court
OF the United States today granted
Atty. Gen. Wickersham time for a
brief additional argument on the to-
bacco trust cases. The time set for
argument In this case expired yester-
day afternoon.
Immediately on conclusion of the
tobacco case arguments, John G. Mil
burn, counsel for the Standard Oil
Co., began his attack on the govern
ment's trust busting suit against that
combine,
Arguments in this, the govern
ment's most famous suit under the
Sherman law, will probably continue
over into next week.
At.y-Gen. Wickersham, in the brief
time allotted him, enlarged purely on
the legal aspects of the tobacco suit.
He maintained that the court, in
previous opinions, had declared that
the power to control prices constitut-
ed monopoly The record In the
case, he said, showed that The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. not only had this
power, but exercised 1t.
"Just consider" he said. what
chance any independent company
you'd have against combine with
s400, 100000 capital behind it,"

when Merkle came back with the girl

Now and then Tom and Mrs. Tom,

to New York, and they always take
