had been placed under his care.
''EloQuently the shrunken fig
ure pleaded for mercy as he told
the twelve men who were to
pass upon his fate of his shame.
Tears rushed into the eyes of
the judge, the jurors, witnesses,
court officials and those few
spectators admitted by the
court. Many faces were cover

But no mercy was granted.
The Jurors had retired from the
court room only about six min.

foreman replied that they had.
It was read by the Clerk of
Court and was "Ga:lty.' For
a few seconds there was deep

the yesterday when he was
fighting to show that he was in

Numa, who was running for IA

SHLTED CORN.

For any who have found the usual
methods of canning corn and beans
somewhat risky the picking method
offers a good substitute. Briefly, this
is putting the vegetables down i'll salt,
somewhat as one would fresh cucum-
bers. With sweet corn select ears that
are at the stage desired, boil them in
I large kettle or boiler for about fifteen
minutes, or until the milk is set. and
then cut and scrape from the COB and
mix with salt at the rate of four
quarts of corn to one of salt. The
Juice in the corn will give sufficient
liquid for brine. When mixed the
corn may be put away in open top
stone jars and covered with a cloth
and plate or stone to keep out the
dirt Before using this corn it should
be freshened and seasoned to suit ones
taste. Corn kept in this way is tender
and keeps its flavor remarkably well.

Real laces valenciennes, alencon,

Shadow lace in all forms-wide

The all over shadow laces fashion en-

combined effectively with chiffon or

for this lace are white and champagne.
Black and white chantilly laces are as
strong in favor as they were during

Venetian laces are featured upon
many charming gowns. Collars, cuffs
and landings of this exquisite needle
work give an unusually rich appear
ance to a costume.
Fillet laces combine beautifully with
every material; therefore they retain
their popularity.
Lacemakers can scarcely supply the
demand for cluny. This effective va

travaGance. While in Jail he applied
himself to the study of law and came
to be regarded as kind Of legal oracle
by his fellow prisoners, who hickman
ed him counselor" With the fees they
gave him for legal advice he bought
books to continue his studies. He then
prevailed upon his creditors to grant
his release from prison that he might
the sooner earn money to pay off his
debts. Called to the bar in 1864, after
a brilliant career in the palace court at
Westminster and subsequently in the
house of lords. he became a puisne
judge. He was knighted in 1915 and
ultimately, on the dismissal of Scroggs,

some one of those gathered around
should pay a tribute to the departed.
''It was a cold. rainy day when we
buried old man Hansen. The casket
was lowered. and we all stood shiver-
ing waiting for some one to volunteer
a good word for the departed.
"An hour passed, ana no one stirred.
Finally, when the situation had grown
desperate, one of the neighbors ap-
preached the grave.

him that he wasn't as bad all the time
