ANco-AMERIcAN TOUCH.
Creamy. white walls. beautiful, graceful
pieces of furniture. Here and there a rare
vase or picture. Not too much Of any,

one.
That is the difference between French
drawing rooms and Franco-American
ones. The French ones are SO overloaded
with stuff that you don't get an effect at

GLIMPSE OF SPRING WITHOUT.

In the crate a cheery little FIRE was
burning. but out OF the glass window
which extended almost across one side O.
the wall was a glimpse OF spring.
The sun was shining down on q bcau-
tifully kept garden. and an early bird
was twittering and thrilling from pure
JOY. The young grass was a pale Sreen
and there were tender little pink buds on
the dark shiny twigs Of some of Tho
bushes. while a friendly ivy spread a
heavy mantle over a nearby wall.
1t wasn't a magnificent garden, but n
was delightful one. A restful place. n
place in which to dream and forget the
outside world. a place in which to watch
the magic OF spring among tho early
birds. the baby blossoms and the psI.

UNDERSTOOD ALL TIE REST

tant Point Was the Juror
at Fault.

It quite often happens that in ad.
dressing a jury, the lawyers will de-
liver their appeals to the one member
who seems to them the most intelli-
gent They consider that by so doing
they can impress him and his infu-
ence upon the other members will be
valuable.
In a recent case, all the testimony
had been taken, the lawyers had
summed up and the judge had charged
the jury, when the juror who aD-
peared the most intelligent, and to
whom both counsel had made their
impassioned appeal, arose, and stated
that he wished the court to give him
some information.

Determination writ large upon her

LETTER SOAKED IN COCAINE
Denver Prism Officials Find the Bane.
fui Drug in Missive to
Inmate.

The core of an apple, the peel of a
banana and the stone of peach have
been used as a means of smuggling CO.
caine into the county Jail, but at
taches believe that an entirely new
plan has been evolved, says a Denver
dispatch.
a letter was received yesterday ad-
dressed to one of the inmates of the
dope" ward. No signs of cocaine
could be detected in the corners OF the
envelope. but the Jail officials decided
to examine the letter more closely.
A minute scrutiny of the paper on
which the letter was written revealed
that it was saturated with the drug.
There was enough in the sheet to sup
ply one of the victims a week at least.
The letter might have escaped detec-
tion if it had not been for the fact that
the sender had overdone his work. A
white powdery substance which COW
cred the entire letter first aroused sus-
picion.
According to the Jail attaches the
paper had been boiled in water in
which there was cocaine. After the
water had boiled away the cocaine
was observed by the paper, which was
then rolled and dried The sender of
the letter has not been found. He
signed no name.
