succeeded In having the judges they
wanted named or not. they would ex-
ercise every possible influence to
make them friendly to the railroad
viewpoint.
And the Recallf
within less than a year after the
court was created, n Of those five
judges was impeached. 1t was discoY-
cred that one Of the railroads had
given him certain favorable contracts.
The judge claimed that he thought II
was perfectly legitimate. The rail-
road was doing nothing for which 1t
could be punished, but it was frater-
nizing with a member of the court
and giving him the opportunity to
make $685. 900 or $4,000 without turn
ing his hand. This is likely to hap
pen in the case of the commissions.
One might think from these views
that Senator Borah is in favor of the
recall OF judges; but he isn't; and the
reason is his objection TO the national
ization of reforms until they have dem.
onstrated their utility.

murder even when committed in the
heat of passion. Nothing can excuse
or eXtenuate the killing of man, they
argued, and to uphold the law Strick-
land should be compelled to pay the
utmost penalty despite his wife's story.
To these the majority made answer:
''Of what use can it be to Kill this
man? In the heat of passion he killed
another, it is true. But would it not
be far better to say to him, Go and
sin no MORE restore him to his dearly
beloved wife and child and let him
take up his new life in Cleveland as
carefully planned? 1t is certain that
Robert Strickland will commit no more
murder"
The matter of the missing money
held the attention of but few. The
great majority of the city's residents
were sure that Robert Strickland was
no thief But it was just that very
point that kept the jury out.
The decision was very long in coming.
The jury had been out for hours. In
their room the jurymen discussed every
phase of the noted case; but, as they
told afterward, from the very begin
ming there was unanimous agreement

Why We Hang Up Stockings.

The custom of hanging up the stock
ing on Christmas eve arose from an
incident in the life of the good st.
Nicholas. One day when he was over
taken by a severe storm he took refuge
in a convent, and the next day being
Christmas he preached IL sermon to
the nuns which they liked so much
that they asked him to come the next
year and preach to them again. On his
second visit, which was also on
Christmas eve, before going to bed he
asked each of the nuns to lend him
stocking, and he filled the stockings
with sugar plums.
In the making of mince pies, which
form a part of regular Christmas
feast, mutton was the only meat for
merly used, as commemoration of the
focks that were watched on the holy
night by the shepherds of Bethlehem.
The spices were supposed to be sugges-

SONG OF THE TREE.

Once out of midnight sweet with mys-
terry
The wonder of all wonders came to be,
So shall the dawn a marvel make of me.
For when in all my beauty l am born
In the first glimmer of the Christmas
morn,
Angels of innocence in mortal guiSe
Shall look upon me with their faithful
eyes:
And, looking, see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure of n tree
Behold! in every limb
| thrill with praise of him
For whom stand in memory.
Kings of the east and wise men three
there were
Who brought to him rare frankincense
and myrrh.
So do my balsamed branches when they
stir
In the warm airs that move about this
room,
And render forth their homage in per-
fume.
Lift UP your hearts anew, o, careworn
men!
Look up with glad, believing eyes again;
And, looking, see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure of tree.
Behold! in every limb
I thrill in praise of him
For whom l stand in memory.

Abracadabra Fever Cure.

Long before a change of climate
came to be advertised as a cure for
hay fever, an idea the railroads have
been suspected of fostering, a simpler
remedy was thought to be the word.
abracadabra. This magical word was
once used as a charm against ague
and fevers. It's meaning is disputed.
AS a charm it was written to form an
inverted triangle by dropping the last
letter at each successive repetition

Christmas of the Shetland Islands.

A scene less populous but not less
striking is old Christmas eve, the 4th
of January, when the children and
young men of Lerwick, in the Shet-
land islands, go a-guizing. The chill
Gren disguise themselves in strange
dresses, parade the streets and invade
the houses and shops begging for offer
ings. At 1 o'clock the young men,
coarsely clad, drag blazing tar barrels
through the town, blowing horns and
cheering. At 6 o'clock in the morning
they put off their grimy clothes and
dressed in fantastic costumes go In
groups to wish their friends the sea-

Dead Sea Not So Dead.

The name Dead Sea" nowhere oc.
ours in the Bible, and was not used
by writer's before the time of Christ.
The name was evidently given to the
lake on account of the belief that no
life existed in it. But some low forms
of life are found in the water, and
many small animals and birds live
near the shores. The great tragedy
of Sodom and Gomorrah may also
have led to the bestowal of the name.

1--WE know why Strickland went

There are two things I'd like you to
explain to me-" said Trumbull. First
~. how did the burglar open the safe?
The police officer testified that the tum-
biers were in perfect order. Gentle
men, he opened the safe with the COM
bination. And the only source from
which he could learn the combination
was Strickland. That's not all, gentle
men. There's something else you'll
have to explain to my satisfaction be-
fore l vote for acquittal.'
whats that?'' one of Strickland's
defenders asked.
strickland had that combination on
a card The card was the only really
discriminating evidence against him. If
he's innocent of the burglary, as you
say he is, why did he attempt to de-
stroy the card?"
"How do you know he did?''
"Why," said Trumbull. there's the
card. Don't you see that it's torn al
most in two? And didn't Glover tes-
tify that it was Strickland who
tore it?'
The jurors looked at the card. and
there ensued a heated argument, some
'contending. others denying, that Stan
ley Glover, secretary to Gerald Trask.
had testified to Strickland's trying to
destroy the card. Trumbull asserted
that Strickland attempted to destroy
the card in order to wipe out the evil
dence that would be bound to convict
him.
II don't think he did attempt to de-
stroy the card" said one juror
Yes, he did," contended another
juryman.

suggested juror.
1--WE can't do that. Well have to get
permission to have his testimony read
to us" said another.
Call right; I'll send a note to the
judge" was Trumbulls final remark to
his colleagues.
And the result of the argument was
the decision to send to Judge Dins
mony read to the jury if such action
was permitted by the law.
In the courtroom the counsel for both
sides, the clerk. the stenographer. the
attendants and others were waiting
impatiently for the verdict when an
officer heard the buzzer calling for
him. He hurried to the jury room and
re-entered the courtroom moment lat |
er with note, which he carried to
the private room of the waiting Judge

Conspicuous in the courtroom were
District Attorney Gray and DR.. Nor

shooting. Morgan and Gray discussed
the case in a low voice. their conversa

Then the jury entered and took
their places and the prisoner was
brought in and took his seat. A few
seconds later Mrs. Strickland 9nd Dor
