New Trial Denied.

Counsel for the defense moved to
set aside the verdict on the ground of
being contrary to law and evidence
and of instruction by the court and
because of various rulings on the evil
dence excepted TO by the defense.
The court overruied the motion for
new trial.
Judge Watson stated that the trial
consisted almost entirely of questions
of fact, and that no questions of law
entered materially into the decision of
the jury.
The defense asked for ninety days
to file petition for a writ of error to
the supreme court of appeals of Vir-
ginia. Attorney Wendenburg, for the
state, asked that the defense be re-
stricted TO within few days of the
meeting of the supreme court In No
vember.
Judge Watson decided that, In view
of the fact that there had been little
delay in the actual trial of the case
the request of counsel for the accused
was reasonable and granted stay of
execution for ninety days.

on the scales to steady them, and,
hesitatingly. the man laid his palm on

he found that he had eleven ounces
instead of the customary thirteen. But
strange to say. he was not angry.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.


Oklahoma has suffered from sur
plus Of newspapers. A year and a
half ago this state had more news
papers in proportion to population
than any other state in the Union,
with many more daily papers than
several Of the older states with nearly
twice the population. But process OF
elimination has been going on. The
secretary OF the Oklahoma Press as
sociation announced some time ago
that about thirty newspapers ceased
during the month of June. Quite a
number Of people have learned in the
last two years that printing presses in
Oklahoma do not grind out green
backs or treasury notes. There are
yet too many papers. Certainly there
are few. if any places in the state
where there is a demand for more
newspapers. A few papers earning

the proper way to use them is with
the outer curve toward the embroid
cry, not with the curve following that
of the scallop. The latter is far too
much of risk, as the keen little tips
will cut further than one expects. A
little practice will make the other way
the natural one, and when held thus
they are under control and will cut
only the threads at which one aims.
This applies to the drawn work as
well, as it is imperative not to cut one

TEN INCH SIDE FRILL.
{ HOMEMADE HAMPER !

ONE of the things especially needed
about the home is a hamper, and
for this a simple box may be utilized
to the satisfaction of all members of
the family The homemade hamper
takes up less space than the ones pur-
chased in the shops. Get box three
feet long. two feet wide and about
thirty inches in height Cover with
table oilcloth (blue looks best when
the hamper is intended for the tiled
roorn) and attach handles of nickel.
The inside of the box is enameled
white and the first division is used for
stockings and hannels. the middle and
largest for table and bed linen, towels
etc. and the third for lingerie and
other wearing apparel
There can be a pocket OF the OIL
cloth fastened to the inside cover.
with a nickel tipped rack in which
handkerchiefs and neckwear may be
kept. The upper part of the pocket is
hemmed and then run with an elastic
to prevent it from sagging and bulg-
ing. On the outside of the box there
serves as a receptacle for shoe brush
and polisher. The height of the box
makes it a convenient emergency chest
in the bathroom.
The oilcloth covering is more durable
than a coating of enamel would be. In
making the hamper the first thing to
be considered is the dividing of the
box into the three compartments.
This is an easy matter In case the
box is intended for some other room
than bathroom it can be covered
with material more in harmony with
the proposed location.
