Laws Unreasonable Doubt"

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt" means, and what
the law means when it says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted if the
Jury has a reasonable doubt of his
innocence. Put when the judge gives
a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt, it is clear that nobody could
understand what is meant.
St. Augustine, when questioned
about doctrine of the church, said:
IF you ask me, I don't know; but
if you don't ask me, l know very
we'll"
The result is. in any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to find
a verdict, taking with them an arm.
full of instructions, Melville DAWSON
Pest writes in Saturday Evening Post.
Half of these instructions will tell
them that if they believe certain
things, they must find the prisoner
guilty ard the other half will tell them
that if they believe other things they
must acJuit the prisoner, and some
times the instructions will be so
drawn that, upon the statement of the
same beliefs one instruction tells them
to acauit the prisoner and the other
tells them to convict him. So they
do not know what to do, and probably
toss up a penny or the verdict.

ROYAL ADMIRER OF AMERICA
Queen Sophia of Greece Invariably
Employs Architects Trained in
This Country.

Queen Sophia of Greece is a great
admirer of American country homes
and knows many OF our finer places
we'll, remarks the Saturday Evening
Post. She takes regularly all our
publications devoted to country life,
and studies in detail our methods of
landscape gardening, tree culture and
floral display. She thinks we have
the most cheerfully and brilliantly
beautiful homes in the world-"bril
liantly cheerful" was her phrase, in
fact-and is trying to adapt Amer
can ideas to the ornamentation o.
the royal residences not only in the
country. but in Athens as well.
Her majesty does us the honor to
employ American architects on all the
buildings in which she is personally
interested, and an American has made
the plan for the model Greek hospital
which she hopes to build as soon as
the funds accumulate. There are prac
tically no Greek nurses and no train
ing SCuoOl Io4 Aut SEQ III ~ SS~~' "hAN
as it is a part OF her maJesty's plan
to have such school in connection
with the new hospital when it is built
she has a dozen or more Greek girls
in the United States now being trained
at her personal expense in one or two
of our hospitals and at a school in
Boston for teachers and supervisors
positions.

SKUNK KNOWS NO FEAR
LITTLE ANIMAL is WELL ABLE TO
PROTECT ITSELF.
Picks No Quarrels, but Decidedly
Never Goes Out of Its Way to
Avoid Them-Formidable
Weapon of Defense.

The skunk is not only one of the
handsomest of American "varmints,
he is also the boldest. He is the beau
sabreur, the Cyrano, the insouciant,
Gevil-may-care adventurer. Confident
in his powers of offense and defense
he goes carelessly about his way, ask
ing only to be let alone. He is not
looking for trouble, neither is he
avoiding it
Encounter him about shutdown on a
country road and he will let you alone,
if you do not crowd him. Perhaps
he will hop along in your pathway,
keeping Just far enough ahead for
your common convenience. If you are
acquainted with his little peculiari-
ties you will permit him to set the
pace. If you are not acquainted with
them-if. perchance, you think he is
a pretty, black-and-white, kittenish lit
tie thing. and if, so thinking, you rush
I'D and try to make capture, disil-
lusionmcnt will soon be your portion.
For when you are at just the right dis
lance he will give his White-tipped tail
a quick hirt in your general direction.
You will then pause. You will sud-
denly have lost all inclination to ad-
vance. Probably you will be nause-
a1ed, possibly half-choked and half
blinded. All the Arabic perfumes nee
essary to purify Lady Macbeth's little
hand wouldn't purify your apparel in
a year. You are likely to feel a long
ing to hide from your fellow man for
some time to come. Your fellow man
is likely to reciprocate the feeling
with usury You have committed a
gross indiscretica, great strategic
blunder, and you will have to pay the
price. But you have added to your
stock of knowledge. Never again will
you try to kick any little polecat
around.
The oil he employs with such effec-
tiveness is yellow, clear liquid, slight
ly phosphorescent, so as to be family
visible at night. 1t is acid and is
virtually acrid when it falls upon any
tender living tissue. 1t is extremely
volatile, and a tiny drop is sufficient
to fill all the surrounding atmosphere
with the offensive odor. When in
hailed in large quantities it is suffo-
eating, sometimes producing uncon-
seriousness and even death.
The liquid is distilled within the
body and is carried through long
tubes to two small capsules imbedded
in the thick muscles at the root of
the tail. The animal can discharge
either or both capsules at will, and
his aim is astonishingly accurate. One
would never think it, but he is very
miserly with this fluid. He will not
waste it, and will even try all kinds
of bluffs to avoid using it. With ami
mails anywhere near his own size the
skunk prefers to fight with tooth and
claw. The conclusion, when one is in
the neighborhood of skunk's recent
operations, that he has fired all the
oil in the universe, is premature. 1t
smells that way, however, and this
is a pardonable error.

Problem of Pumpernickel.

Is pumpernickel bread or cake?
This question is agitating legal and
commercial circles in Frankfort-oh-the-
Main. If this delicacy is a bread, it's
sale is limited under the card system,
whereas if it is cake it may be sold
ad lib.
The police of Frankfort had been
trying to stop the sale of pumpernickel
without the necessary bread card, -
but when case was taken to court
the decision was to the effect that it
was delicacy and could be sold ac-
cordingly But this didn't settle the
matter, as the authorities appealed the
case and declared they would keep on
arresting violators of the card rule.
The Frankforter Zeitung of Novem-
Der 80 says an exception is made in
the. case of pumpernickel made from
flour sold at the government distribu-
ton stations especially for that pur-
pose.

lust as Fond of Monkeys.

The number Of famous literary men
who are now serving in his majesty S
forces is so great that the happy idea
has been conceived of publishing a
book, the contributors to which are
all celebrated authors who have be-
come soldiers.
Among the long list of names to be
found in the volume, one of the best
known is that of Mr.. A. E. W. Mason,
the novelist.
Formerly, Mr.. Mason was a member
Of parliament, and he tells of man
who wrote a certain NJ. P. asking for
ticket of admission to the gallery OF
the house of commons.
The NJ. P. wrote back saying that
he was very sorry that he could not
send the ticket because the gallery
was closed.
The next day, he was astonished to
receive from the stranger the follow
ing note: "As the gallery is closed,
will you please send me six tickets for
the zoo?"-Exchange

bread bread made from whole wheat

bread a bread made from whole wheat
and, at the most, from the minimum
of yeast.
The Italian expert declares that the
process Of leavening makes bread TOO
soft and renders it liable to be bad
ly masticated and imperfectly mixed
with saliva, especially when taken IN
milk or soup or dipped into various
liquids according to prevailing Italian
custom, when it is apt to be rapidly
swallowed. The digestion Of bread
under these conditions is more or less
imperfect, even though it does not
necessarily reach the point OF causing
dyspeptic symptoms, and it is assim-
Hated in less proportion to what it
would be in normal circumstances.
Moreover, the added yeast preserves
part of its activity even after baking,
and continues to feTnent in the stom-
ach, giving rise to the production Of
acetic and Tactic acids, among other
substances, which are harmful to those
subject to an irritable state of the
mucous membrane. Professor RO-
mano insists, therefore, that the use Of
white leavened bread is serious error
in alimcntary hygiene. while it also
constitutes an enormous loss in do
nestle and national economy. He ad-
vises that bread should not only be
made with whole wheat, but that it
should not be subjected to the process
Of leavening.
Lest it should be thought impossi-
bic to manufacture 4 wholemeal bread
without leavening which would salts
fy the taste, he mentions that such
bread has been for some time on the
market abroad. and in regard to flavor
has met with entire appreciation.

ROMANTIC STORY OF WHEAT
World Being Fed on Grain Grown on
Land That Was Comparatively Re-

A direct result of the present war,
more pleasant to contemplate than the

Pascal In Hot Coffee.

1t was bitterly cold The woman,
standing il her warm kitchen, where
the thermometer registered IS, an6
looking out at the man putting load
of coal into her cellar, shivered. She
noticed how red his face had grown
from the incessant slapping of the
wind; she saw he wore no overcoat,
that his throat was not bundled about
as it should be, that his gloves were
poor, cheap affairs. Pity for the man
filled her heart and when he had fin.
ished shoveling in the last of the coal
she opened the door and spoke to him
You must be very cold. Don't you
want to step inside by the kitchen fire

OLD BILL GOT THE BIRDS
Truthful Person Comes to the Front
With Story of Really Remark
able Shooting.

Speaking of good Shots" said
Truthful. the best shot | ever saw
was Bill Slivers, who used to hunt out
here in the early days. Bill learned
the gunmaker's trade when he was
young and l want to say that he was
some mechanic when it came to that.
"Fe invented a gun which he maGe
himself that beat any of these here
modern guns for long distance and &C
curacy. He might have made for
tune out of it if he had put it on thr
market, but Bill just naturally didn't
care for money and just made one gui
and quit at that.
"One day there was a flock @
pigeons flying across the country. Il
these early days there was terrible
lot of wild pigeons. There amt an!
more of them now, but people who are
able to recollcct back 40 years remem
Der when there were millions and mil
lions of them This flock was flying ST
high that they weren't visible to tho
naked eye, but Bill used long-distancC
field glasses when he shot with thai
gun. The fellers in the camp said they
would like to have a mess of birds anC
Bill said he would just go out ant
shoot a dozen or so.
LAS | said, this flock was flying sc
high that the birds weren't visible tc
the naked eye and when Bill said he
would shoot a dozen or so the cook
gave a derisive laugh and said, You
doggCned fool, there amt no pigeons
within thousand miles of here
pill didn't say nothing in reply
just took his gun and field glasses and
began shootin' in the air. The COOK
looked at him minute and then said
to the other fellers, 'Ol Bill has sure
been film up on loco weed and gone
plumb crazy. Just look at the old fool
out there shootin' holes in the air
Bill paid no attention to the re.
marks Of the cook-went right along
shootin' until he had fired II shots
then he came in and put up his gun in
the corner of the shack. That was
just about seven o'clock in the morn
ing. At a quarter past eleven the
birds began to fall. There was y OF
EN- and every one Of 'em shot through
the head They was so high when they
was hit that it took EN- just four hours
to hit the earth.
"All the cook said when lie picked
up the birds was, OF Bill wasn't so
burned crazy after ALL "-Far1aers
