New York, Dec. 2.-The case of the
four officials of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, on trial for conspiracy to de-
ceive and defraud the United States
government, was given to the jury at
2:45. p.rm. today.
New Y ork, Dec. 2.-Counsel of the
four Hamburg-American line officials
indicted on charges Of conspiracy to
defraud the government went back to-
day in summing up his case to the
days Of Admiral Dewey to draw q
parallel between the American ad-
mirars action in Manila bay and the
supplying Of the German cruisers by
the Hamburg American line officials.
WAS this case a conspiracy to de-
fraud and deceive the United States :?
Let US go back a few years to the time
when Dewey sank the Spanish fleet
and blockaded the port of Manila.

they get them? Why. it Is no secret.

LEISURE HOUR REFLECTIONS
FROM A QulET CORNER. |

The highest aim of the individual
should be directed toward the accom-
plishment of something of worth in
the world. 1t must be understood that
however much we may do in the world,
it is only as a grain of sand in the
sight of Providence. There is no
time for idleness, but as the little
bee that gathers honey from the flow
ers of the field, we should go forth
each day with the determination that
while we shall gather, we shall also
scatter sunshine.
There are always dark corners in
the world that need light; there are
always people who need words of con-
ISOLATION to tighten their heavy hearts.
Let our aim be, each day, to increase
the sunshine in the dark of
the lives of these people by doing
some noble deed, or speaking some
word of kidness.
Let us bear each burden with pa.
tience and accept such duties as de-
volve upon us as blessings, knowing
as we do that though, sometimes, we
become weak and faint of heart and
SOW in tears, that much joy may at
tend the time of reaping.
While living in hope the world may
continue to grow better, let us con
tribute our full share of usefulness
thereto, but above all, let us remem-
Der that only through honesty can we
hope to reach the browning point in
life, and that men can only be saved
through the might of an all-wise Provi-
dence.
A great many people have so much
to say about the fine things they are
going to do some time that they have
a very satisfactory sense of achieve
ment, with very little to show for it.
Thanks to ar active imagination, these
anticipated successes become as act
