edge, interest, relationship, temper,
feeling, bias, or prejudice, and to
give to each witness such credit as
in your judgment each witness has
shown himself entitled to receive.
In determining the weight of the
testimony, all the evidence should be
considered, together with all the
facts and circumstances shown on
the trial; and the jury should be
governed solely by the evidence in
troduced before them, for the pur-
pose of determining, honestly and
dispassionately, the very truth of the
matter at issue.

Either wrongful acts, or words, or

would preclude him from exercising
the right of self-defense, must relate

Woodland was killed
No. %. Evidence has been intro
duced tending to show that certain
declarations or statements were made
by certain witnesses out of court, diff
ferent from those testified to upon
the witness stand.
AS a general rule, the statements
OF witness as to verbal admissions,
or declarations, or statements of a
party should be received with great
caution by the jury, as that kind of
evidence is subject to much imperfec-
tion and mistake. The party may
not have clearly expressed his mean
ing, or the witness may have misun-
| derstoOd him, and it frequently hap
| pens that the witnesses, by uninten-
| tionally altering few of the express
sions really used, gives an effect to
the statements at variance with what
the witness actually did say. In de-
termining what weight to give to
such statements or declarations, if
you find any were made, you should
consider whether or not they were
clearly and Understandings made by
the party, and whether or not they
are practically identified, and the
language remembered accurately by
the witness. So also should you con-
slider whether or not it appears that
the witness himself expressed his
own meaning therein clearly and un-
derstandingly, and whether or not
the witness had any reason or motive
for remembering the declaration or
statement or the exact language us
ed. Where the evidence shows that
the declarations and statements were
Understandings made and clearly
apprehended and remembered, it is
often a satisfactory form of proof
You should take into consideration
the circumstances under which the
alleged statements were made, and
the parties to whom they were made,
as disclosed by the evidence in this
case bearing upon such statements,
and from all the facts and circum-
you should give such weight and
credit to them as you believe them
entitled to receive.
No. 20. The defendant has in
troduced evidence as to his good
character as a peaceable and quiet
citizen prior to the time of the alleg-
ed often.
The jury have the right to consid-
er such testimony as bearing on the
general issue of the defendants guilt !
or innocence. 1t is to be considered
upon the theory that if it is shown
that the defendant is man of good |
character in these respects, he is less
liable to commit the crime charged
than a man of bad character. It
does not rebut the commission of the
crime except by Inference, and may
be considered by the jury in such I
light and for such reason.

But his new work brought new
troubles ara worries. He began to
sleep shorter hours: he concentrated
with every atom of determination in
him: he drove himself with an iron
hand. He attacked his task from ey-
cry angle, and with his fine constitu-
ton and unbounded youthful energy
he covered an amazing quantity of
work. He covered it so well, more
over, that Runnels complimented him.
This stress of labor served one pur
pose for which he was very grateful;
it separated him from Edith Cortlandt
and took his mind from that occur
renee in the jungle.
Soon after his promotion he received
from Andres Garavel warmly worded
note of congratulation. and some few
days later an invitation to dine, which
he accepted eagerly.
The dinner proved to be another dis
appointing ordeal, for again he was
allowed no opportunity of speaking
with Gertrudis and had to- content
himself with feasting his eyes upon
her. But, although the family were
present en- masse, as on the former oc-
casion, they unbent TO a surprising
degree. and he found them truly gra-
cious and delightful.
Later in the evening he found him.

so OTHERS MAY BENEFIT.

Mr.. r. A. Westfall who lives at
1889 West Second street in Davenport
made the following statement about
liant Juice
"I had a severe case OF stomach,
liver and kidney trouble, and rheuma-
tism. 1t was so bad that l was unable
to do a days work or get about for
some time. / had heard and read SO
much about Plant Juice and the good
it was doing that l decided to try it
and l must say that it has helped me
wonderfully can now do my usual
days work, eat anything l want
sleep and rest well and feel Ike an
other person"
The story of Plant Juice is an inter
esting one and has been printed in
the newspapers and magazines OF the
east. 1t deals with years of careful
research among the plants of the
earth and with the scientific blending
of their essences and juices to obtain
the life giving forces required by
modern ways of living.
