resumed, but when no verdict had been
reached at l o'clock yesterday morn
ing the jurors retired for the night.

The East Wind

"The wind is in the east" the
chronic croaker sighed; that
zephyr is beast, it fills with pain
my hide. Whenever east winds
+; " hiz across the dismal lea. eight
kinds of rheumatic begin to tor
ture me" So he sits down to
groan, and calls for the police,
and rubs his old shin bone with
linament and grease. When peo-
pie thus are sure certain wind
will bring some i'll beyond cure,
their guess comes true, by Jing.
For superstition makes of grief
a vast amount, it brings more
pains and aches than you and l
could count. Now let the croaker
greet the east wind with a grin,
and say. "You can't be beat
the prize you'll surely win! You
cannot bring disease, or make my
hock-joints sick: no blamed old
tin horn breeze can play that sort
of trick!' The wind will whoop
and sizz. and try to fill his frame
with jumping rheumatic. and
then give up the game. If you
invite disease, and say it's sure to
come, the germs will strive to
please, and knock you out OF
plumb. But if defiance bold you
hand the microbe mob, the feet
Of germs grow cold, and they
throw up the job.
