Valparaiso, Ind, Nov. 10, 1890 p. M
Thomas b. Dean is still ON the witt
ness stand and is proving to be a star
witness. He is being cross-examfned
by Attorney Charles Drummond of
south Bend and is bearing up under
the fire even better than the state ex-
pected.
1t is conceded that Attorney Drums
mond has not yet been able to shake
him from his story to confuse him
i'm the least.
Attorney Parker seems to have tho
situation well In hand. Parker is now
laying plans to have. the, photograph
testimony introduced In full. So far
he hns not been able to have the steno-
graphic records of the conversations
that was taken over the sdfctosraph In
troduced Testimony but the COURT
did allow Dean to refresh his memory
with the distoEraph record.
The next witness Will be M. HimmeI-
bau, the stenographcr who was nj the
other end of the dictoEraph. He Will
testify regarding his work and 1T In
possible TINT through his testimony
Attorney Parker Will be able to have
the full stenogrisphic report of the con-
versation between Dean and wilIfstou
introduced testimony.
Another Witness who was at the
other end of the dictograph and who
will testify In samuel Watson, presi-
dent of the Northern state Hank OF
Gary, who will testify to the COM
versation between WiIIissons and Dean.
The case now seems to be excIu siveIy
I'm the hands of Attorney Parker of
south Bend, for the STATE, and Attor-
ney Drummond of South Bend, for the
defense. They are the principal nttor-
neys I'm the trial 80 far. 1t was thought
that on account of the showing that
Drummond made yesterday that w. j.
McAleer of Hammond might take
charge of the cnse today. hut Drum-
mond was back on the job this morn
ing when court opened shortly after
o'clock.

4 NIcERIaN LEGEND.
Il Tells Of the Origin Of Mans Sui

Il Tells Of the Origin Of Mans Sub
lection to Women.
There IL quaint old Nigerian legend
that relates the origin Of mans sub
lection to women.
At the beginning Of things. the le-
xend runs. the wcrld was peopled by
women only. One day the earth god.
Awbassi Mai. happened by accident to
kill a woman. On hearing this the rest
gathered together and prayed that. II
he meant to STAY them. he would bring
destruction on all together rather than
kill them one by one.
Awbassi was sorry for the grief he
had caused and offered as compensa-
ton to give them anything they should
choose out Of all bis possessions. They
begged him to mention what he had to
give and said that they would gil cry
Eyes" when be named the thing they
wished to have.
Awbassi mentioned one by one ali
his fruits. fowls and beasts. but at
each they shouted mo-" At length
the list was nearly ended-only one
thing remained to offer.
xviii you. then. take man?" asked
Awbassi ut last. "Yesv' they roared
in a great shout. and. catching hold OF
one another. danced for Joy at the
thought OF the gift Awbassi was send
ing. -.>

women and have to work for them te

occasions. Coats Of lightweight broad
cloth are also used extensively.
Velvet, satin. MORE and braid are
used for trimming. Great care 10 evi-
dent in the selection OF buttons, which
usually are very large and harmonize
with the colorins of the coat. For ex-
ample, a pongee coat will carry gilt
or light-brown buttons; red-brown
mixture has red buttons; blue buttons.
that exactly match the material are
used on a lightweight cloth coat.
Golden brown and tan seem to be
the favorite colors. These are COM
bined with contrasting colors in the
trimming. Stripes of black and white
add novel touch to many OF the
chic models. Two-inch bands of strip
ed silks are seen edging the plain-col-
ored trimming, and some coats are lin
ed throughout with narrow striped
silk.
Cool, comfortable coats and skirts
are being made of the finer, softer
weaves of Shantung silk, chosen in
the natural biscuit shade, and also OF
soft satins and a favorite fabric called
I"serge-silk," which closely resembles
satin merveilleux. A pretty model is
/ of delft blue satin trimmed in quite
new way, with long silk ribbons
chosen in a darker shade of blue. The
skirt opens on the left side in panel
effect, revealing a long end of ribbon
and caught across with dull silver
button.

The Sense Of Humor.

A man has sense or humor or he
has not. If ho has not he cannot ac-
quire 1t; II he has 1t by birthright he
cannot lose 1t with the passing Of
years. The only change as life goes
on In one who has this Unborn sense IS
that different things appeal to It from
those that excited amusement in
youth. but In this 1t Is ike other
mental faculties. As judgment mel
lows and ripens. so the power of dis
covering those things that excite
smiles becomes more discriminating
Humor Is not physical attribute to
fade as the body loses its youthful
elasticity. but purely mental Men
who possess it in goodly measure have
been known to smile on their death
beds over the very comedy Of life

MOTORCYCLE TAKES PLACE
OF HORSE BETWEEN SHAFTS

The motorcycle has not only partly
crowded the horse out OF business, hut
in one case at least it has actually
taken the place of its four-footed pre-.
decessor between the shafts.
From Escanaha, near Rhinelander,
Wis. comes the truthful tale of this
unusual spectacle. Every Escanabian
who chanced TO be on Ludington
street the other day was justifably
astonished when down the street came
a motorcycle drawing, two men in a
carriage. There was no illusion. 1t
was al! real The motorcycle Just
walked away with its load
IL was then discovered that the
spectacle was a test-that the motor
cycIist had made and was winning a
wager. The men in the carriage had
fine ride-but they lost. The motor.
cyclisi pulled his load all over the city
at fast pace and returned to the
starting place without hitch-or a

men in the carriage said it couldn I be

repairs. Why not give the names OF
these automobile racing experts. II is
asked. AS proof that stock machines
in racing are less liable TO accident than
special built racing machines. 1t Is only
necessary to look at the records for 1910,
Six grent road races were held in the
season. Elgln was a stock car race. and
was won by q stock car which went the
entire distance OF 305 miles with a one
minute stop to replenish fuel. Thirty
ly half OF them being special racing cars,
yet not a single car outside OF a stock
machine finished the race. Fairmount
Park race was also participated In by
both stock cars and racing machines. yet
the irst five cars to finish were models
Monica races, Teddy Tetzlaf1 won the
stock car event, and in the free-fo all
defeated the special racing cars with his
same stock car. The Grand Prize race
at Savannah was the only race of the
year won by racing machine. and while
this race was made up principally OF
special racing machines. out OF the six
cars 10 finish three of them were stock
cars.
The article in question goes on TO state
that where twenty -four-hour races have
been held, efforts have been made In
these states TO pass laws against the long
grinds, but they have always failed The
public has not heard much of efforts of
this kind; and II they have been made
and were unsuccessful. IL Is probably be-
found that twenty-four-ho hour races. held
under proper sanction and conditions.

than any other form OF motor car racing.
AS TO the dangers of motor car racing In
general, statistics will prove that fatali-
yet both these forms OF sport promise 10

DIAMOND TIRES RUN 5000

HORSE NOT ENTIRELY
SUPPLANTED BY MOTOR

In spite of the fact that commercial
vehicle enthusiasts are proclaiming the
passing of the horse and are planning
fitting memorial to the faithful old
equine, there arc many who do not
share i'll the belief that the motor
vehicle will entirely suplant the horse
in the handling of city merchandise
That the field of the horse for de.
livery purposes will be materially re-
stricted and limited is admitted, for on
every hand is to be found evidence
pointing in this direction But it also
is argued that there are certain kinds
of delivery Gwork which the horse al
ways will be able to perform more
economically than it can be done by
power vehicles. For this reason many
do not agree with those whose predic-
tions practically eliminate horses from
city streets within the next ten years
1t is the opinion of many that the
ideal delivery system of the future,
so far as the larger cities are con-
cerned, will incluoe both horses and
motor vehicles, and, through combi-
nation service along such lines, busi-
ness concerns which have large deliv
cries to take care of will realize the
best results.

In twenty four-hour races, one man lost
should not have been left at the side of
the track Another was killed by jump
ing when there was really no danger,
says a writer.
The article says that Two men who took
part in the terrible strains OF these races
to those who have followed twenty
hour racing closely. It Is furthermore
stated that Charlie Bowers wears 2 gold
plate In his skull and laid for months
'Hght.ng off the grim reaper" and that
his mechanic was killed. The mechanic
helped Bowers 10 his feet. Bowers is
seeking a position as driver In twenty
