The Cossacks. having a great admira-
ton for western cowboys. now adopt
cowboy habit with Desmond. They CON-
mand him to dance for them. and, to
increase his speed. they fire bullets into
the ground at his feet. This causes Des-
mond to display really astonishing agility,
and the Cossacks enjoy his antics greatly.

SOME STYLE.

L. n. Bourgeois was walking away
with "s.ts,ss s" they call style but even
after all hts plate glass windows and
two-story galleries en- the inside, he
was defeated. Yes indeed, our
postmaster tcc!s it right away from
him, as the little boct-b.ack says,
!! put it en- h;1l,' ami the worst of
| it is that you can't bother him either,
he's sorter fixed it up with the gov
e. mn ent and President Taft has just
signed his papers for four more
years. If you happen to be in a
hurry to get letter out of your
box and you get there and find the
door locked and you shut out, why
just wait outside an hour or two and
you will be able to get in after q
while. just walk up and down in
front of the door, but don't say out
loud what you are thinking, because
lit would not sound nice. It's tough,
isn't It? So many Of you used to
go and wait in the lobby until the
mail is distributed, and you not only
had the pleasure Of a chat with your
friends but you met your sweetheart
there, and that's just about all you
went there for. But the postmaster
has cut out all those little spoony
talks you used to have and the best
thing you can do now is to call your
girl up ''some rainy afternoon. !"
You can't wait outside with her, be-
cause that wouldn't look nice. Well,
tits your own fault. II you hadn't
gone in the lobby and done so many
annoying things, such as scratching
the paint OF the walls with your
shoe heels, and smoking cigars and
cigarettes and chewing tobacco,
whistling, singing, talking loud and
all that, why Mr.. Theriot would
never have taken that privilege away
from you. And later on he would
have given you chairs to sit down on
while you waited for your mail. But
he's mad at you now, and all you
are going to. get is q good stand up
outside. See what it is to. be nice,
don't you? Now just sit down and
think that over calm and deliberate
|ly and you won't be long in arriving
lat the conclusion that the more you
think about it the less good it will
do you. But the next time you go
there on Sunday morning and smear
your new Sunday suit or dress with
fresh paint Patecek, Dulicn or Coig
will be glad to take it out for you.
ONE OF THEM
I'VE wish to state that "One of
Them in al his wisdom wise, is
advertising none Of them in CORES
pondence guise; for We receive no
pay at all from paint or other firms,
|nor those whose windows wide ami
tall show furniture on terms. In fact,
the compliment he pays to all con-
|cerned in this Is due to his own
HAPPY ways Of complimenting sis.

courtroom was barely half full, al
though there were many men in the
corridors waiting announcement Of
the jury's finding. Judge Chretein
ascended the bench at 1O:3O O'Clock,
and at once sent for the jury.
Clerk Patrick asked If the jurors
had agreed upon a verdict. Fore
man Jewell rose to reply that they
had not.
I'VE have taken two ballots and
talked among ourselves great
DEAL" he explained, "but have not
agreed"
Judge Chretien suggested that
enough time. possibly, had not elaps-
ed for the jurors to determine that
they could never agree. They had
been out eleven hours.
do you want more time to con-
slider the case?" he asked.
''No sir, We have considered the
evidence. in all its aspects, fully" :"
replied Foreman Jewell. I'VE seem
to be hopelessly split"
I'm that event." the judge declar-
ed, "it is unnecessary to detain you
longer. I will order a mistrial re-
corded
Evidently the jurors had antici-
pated this action. They had their
suit cases packed, strapped and piled
near the door Of the rooms on the
third floor Of the prison, in which
they have been confined since the
taking of testimony began, thirteen
days ago. Released from duty, they
rushed to their rooms, took up the
cases, bid q hasty farewell to the
deputies who have been their COM
panions, and fed. Fifteen minutes
after Judge Chretien bid them dis
band they were all away from the
prison.
JURORS EXCELLENT FRIENDS.
Despite their disagreement as to
the merits of the case, the jurors
are all excellent friends. Deputies
report that since the beginning Of
the trial they have lived together in
cordial companionship. All agree
among themselves that no informa-
ton as to which of their number
had dissented from the not guilty"
verdict should be given out, but the
information did gain circulation later
in the day. As soon as the strain
Of the trial has worn on, they ex-
pect to have reunion dinner.
Prosecutor Adams fatty declined
to make any statement concerning
the case. "Glad its over" was all
he would say. He went fishing with
Assistant District Attorney Dave
Henriques. Attorneys Lionel Adams
and Joseph Generally were more
talkative, and thought that they had
won big victory.
I'VE didn't dare hope for absolute
acquittal,' they jointly declared.
''but pinned our faith to getting q
majority vote from the jurors. Nine
to three Is q splendid majority, and
we are satisfied that we have forever
freed Annie Crawford from the
charges made against her. .
