lions of the attorneys for the defense.

seeking a pardon.

Mr.. Weltner, who was seated near
the jury. was cautioned by Judge Hill

the case loud enough for the jury
men to hear. This was at the sug-
gestion of Attorney Rosser, who said
he could plainly hear the suggestions
being made by the Prison Reform
Association official.
GOHdlQbOn TOT DoISnSes
Several convicts at the camp when
Brannon was whipped testified that
they heard the prisoner begging for
mercy.
The state rested after putting in
evidence a copy of the rules at the
convict camps. One rule was to the
effect that the strap was to be used
only as last resort. and never to be
applied to the naked skin. Brannon
had testified that he was hit ten Hicks
upon his bare flesh.
Captain Tom Donaldson, for the
defense said Harris had told him he
didn't blame Thomson for shooting
him. as he (Harris) had intended to
get" Thomson at the first oppor-
tunity 1t was this testimony that
Harris characterized as 'manufac-
tured."
Mr.. Donaldson said that the Prison
Commission of the State and the
judge that tried Harris had written
him that Harris was a dangerous man
and should have heavy guard. He
had told Thomson of these letters,
he said.
Call Harris Desperate Man.
Several convict guards and mem
bers of the county police testified that
Harris had said he didn't blame
Thomson for the shooting. All of
them declared the convict was 8 des-
perate man.

after noon.
When the Thomson cases are
completed Ed Tyree, another camp
boss, indicted during the Grand Jury
probe. will be placed on trial on a
charge of assault and battery. He is

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Boots should never be allowed to go too far before they are repaired; :; often a few coppers spent in time will keep them in good condition. Heels should be- kept straight, otherwise the boot loses it's shape and it's Wearer a good carriage.
 To clean black marble clocks. wash marble with warm water, then apply with. a piece of flannel a little boot polish Rub lightly all over with a. soft cloth and the marble will look like new. The less polish used the better the result.
 Lemon juice is splendid for whit ening the hands and removing dis coloring marks from the nails. Don't throw away the lemons from which the juice has been squeezed, but rub the nails with them after washing This will help to keep them white.
 It is simply ruinous to put boots to dry by the fire; the leather cracks and becomes hard, and the shape is spoiled Sea water does not improve shoes but when at the seaside it is almost impossible to keep them from getting wet. Dry in the usual way, and rub in a little oil
 When ink has got under the finger nail, after thoroughly scrubbing with a naiIbrush in soap and very hot water twirl a, piece of cottonwood round the point of an orange stick, dip this in lemon juice and pass under the nail; it will take the stain away. If it is very bad use a little peroxide of hy- drogen instead.

 Once upon a time when little Robert was nine years old, he had a birthday and what do you think his father gave him?
 The cutest little donkey you ever saw. The donkey's name was Ned and he was very kind and not at all ugly. Robert, however, thought he was too tttame,'' so he tried to teach Ned to be 8. wild west horse, and buck and prance around like the horses the cowboys ride.
 One day Robert thou~ht New was trained enough to give a show so he took him out in the back yard and in vited all the children of the neigh borhood to come and see the circus. Ned seemed to enjoy it very much and jumped up and down and waved his ears and tail His greatest feat was to kick up his hind legs and cry or laugh, '[Hee flaw, Hee flaw"
 Robert offered a prize of a base ball to the boy who could ride Ned. Robert could ride him but he had taught Ned when anyone else got on his back, to kick up his heels and throw them off.

 Then Ned would seem to laugh and yell, tHee Flaw. Hee Haw.'' so Robert could find no one who could win the baseball, so he had to keep it himself which he knew he would in the first place. Don't you think so?

DECLARES WOMEN BEST NEWS FEATURE
pr. Shaw Says Suffrage Is
 Leading in Space Values

Rome. May 15.-The Rev. pr. Anna Howard Shaw of New York delivered a striking address on woman suffrage at the fourth public meeting under the auspices of the International Council of Women. A distinguished audience was present.
 eDr. Shaw said the first duty of pa triotic women, was to bring ths prac- tica1 life of governments into harmony with the fundamental principle of jus tice, which demanded that the laws governing the people give equal priv ilegess and equal opportunities to all regardless of sex.
 During the past five years, she said, woman's suffrage had grown from an academic to practical question, and all political parties had realized that it was one with which governments must speedily deal. She declared that the growth of the suffrage movement had been proved in several ways. These were:
 First-The changed attitude of the people, in that woman suffrage had be- come the most frequent subject of con- versation everywhere, while the press gave more space to it in it's news and editorial columns than to any other political or moral reform.
 Second olitical parties ref1ecting the popular mind vied with each other J Inserting woman suffrage blanks in their programmes, as they knew that no party could be successful when wo- men organized against 1t.
 Thfrd-During the past two years the subject of woman suffrage had been before every parliament in ev- cry nation except Turkey, while in the United States it had been one of the most important questions of debate, and for the first time in American shis- tory favorable reports had been made. by both the Senate and House com nittees, and it had become national question.
 ' Fourth-More nations and states had granted the vote. to women during the past five years than in any pre- vious five years in history.
 After her address a resolution was passed by the meeting in the follow ing words:
 "Realizing the rapidly changing character of the problems that must now be considered by governments, and seeing that these problems in creasing1y affect the moral, educa- tional and industrial life of the people, women recognize their responsibility in the national life, and the Interna- tionaI Council Of women therefore reafHrns it's earnest belief that the right to vote at Parliamentary and To- cal elections should be given to women in all countries where representative government exists.

 Gold brocaded chiffon makes some of the prettiest bodies to the summer evening gowns.
 A pure lemon yellow batiste frock was trimmed with heavy hand broidered linen.
 An odd little new suit has a straight coat finished with a. ruffle of the same material
 Striped silk dresses are made of striped silk, with scalloped hounces and natty little bo1eros.
 At present the safest sort of hand bag to choose is a leather one, flat and thin and shallow.
 More and more feninism is dis played in all apparel for women; and 1t affects not only material but line.
 Very long and very full sleeve frilIs give a certain grace and quaintness to some of the present fashions.
 A new-fashioned collar is one of the best ways of persuading a coat of last year to assume the effect of this.
 Some of the fashionable capes are made of mustard-co1ored cloth lined with blue. green and mustard-colored plaid.

Sweet peas are beautiful and frag- rant with their shades of pink, purple. rose, white and variegated tints. They are easy to grow. being flowers that yield wonderful display in return for careful treatment.

It is also important to gather the flowers systematically. flor the reason that if seed pods are allowed to develop, the plants begin to deteriorate and cease to bloom
 Sweet peas gathered before O clock in the morning give results that are far better than gatherings made at any other time. The reason for this is that the plants have been recuper- ating all through the night, so that in the cool of the morning their condition is distinctly fresher, and the flowers hold their freshness longer in conse- quence. Don't gather the blooms grudgingly. The more you cut, the longer the vine will continue to flow er- Don't expect them to thrive in poor soil or in a sunless location
 
 Sweet peas are in good taste for any occasion. They are among the most beautiful flowers for table decoration, but they must be placed in water as quickly possible after gathering The individual flowers are so large and attractive that combined with stout erect flower stalks their artistic ar rangement may be easily effected Bowls and vases of clear glass are best Place in the vases lightly
 The vases should have good bases with rather narrow straight necks and small apertures.
