In making the alleged statement, was
addressing her.
Mr.. Roe asked whether she under
stood that stephens meant her person
ally by saying you" are a murderer
Mrs. Van Trump replied that he meant
the government as he said: You and
all the Liberty Loan workers."
Counsel asked whether she under
stood the defendants statement TO mean
! that she and all other Liberty Loan
workers had taken life unlawfully. Mrs.
Van Trump persisted in her answer
that he meant. in her mind hersek and
all other Liberty Loan workers.
"When you testified that that state
menl was false did you believe that
stephens meant that you and everyone
else who sold Liberty Bonds had taken
human life unlawfully and were guilty
OF murder?" asked Mr.. Roe.
Again Mrs. Van Trump gave the an
swer that she felt that he meant her
self and all other Liberty Loan work
ers were murderers. and that she could
get no other meaning out OF II. Mr.
Roe endeavored to obtain some other
answer from her.
She declared that the best answer
she could give was that the statement
went false, as she and other Liberty
Loan workers were not murderers
Mr.. Curley placed United States
Marshal Fairy on the stand. His first
question was as TO whether the United
States was at war on April i6. but
counsel for the defense admitted this.
Mr.. Roe asked the court TO instruct
the Jury to return verdict or rot
guilty, as the evidence did not show
the commission Of any offenee; that II
did not show that the defendant had
wilfully made any remark to Interfere
with the operation OF the army or
navy forces OF the country; that Sec
tlon 3 IN violation OF the espionage
act is Illegal. In that II abridses free
dom OF speech and that II is In viola
tIon Of Article Of the Constitution.
Mr.. Curley argued that the evidence
produced by the government fully sup
ported all the allegations OF The IN
dictment.
Judge woolley denied Mr.. Roe's mo-
tlon TO instruct the jury to return
verdict Of not guilty.
Opening for the defense and address
ing the jury. Mr.. Roe touched on the
circumstances under which Mr.. Steph-
ems made the alleged statement. 1t was
a statement Of opinion. not OF fact, he
said. He set out that stephens had,
in the heat OF passion. remarked that
war is organized murder. The women
bond sellers, in their rounds OF Arden
insisted on obtaining reasons why per-
sons who refused TO buy bonds declined
to purchase them, and that they had
stated, at the time. that they were en-
deavoring to get subscriptions from
men only.

Despite the efforts OF Gilbert T. Roe.
attorney for Stephens, this portion OF
the testimony could not be shaken, al
though Mrs. Van Trump admitted that
she could not remember Stephens re-
marks about the Christian religion.
Mrs. Van Trump denied that sho or
the women on her committee had Sc
lected Stephens and Dan Keifer OF all
the men in Arden TO solicit for bonds,

pies OF the Christian religion was Op-

The witness insisted that she did not

The Austrlans have been forced TO

The enemy also needs new supplies

UNTIDY WOMEN.

Nothing so tends to coarsen a wo.
man generally as carelessness about
her personal appearance in the privacy
Of her home or in her apartments.
However limited her means, if she
clings to the determination always to
appear we'll at home, she will find later
on that she has preserved the root of
good taste that will blossom forth de-
lightfully in more prosperous days.
The woman, ion the other hand, who
becomes, for whatever reason, sloven.
ly, seldom finds the strength in "bet.
ter times" to rise up out of the sui.
cidal rut into which she has thrown
herself. Rich, poor or middHag we'll
to do, there is positively no excuse for
an unsightly mein at home.

WHEN GOD MADE IRELAND.

WHEN GOD MADE IRELAND.
When the Lord had finished creation
And given earth a gift to man,
He stepped out into the waters,
Said He: 1--WE another plan.'
He rested awhile and tarried
With the waters bright at His feet
And blessed them and babe them lin
ger,
Till He'd make Him an isle full
sweet.
He gathered the dust from the star
drifts;
He gathered the meteor's ash,
The jeweled CRIME from the seabeds,
Bolts from the lightning's flash;
Star-fish and shells called to Him,
Basalt, volcanic grume,
And fashioned it neat and pretty,
And made it with flowers to bloom.
There, now!" He said as He finished,
I'll fashion bit of sky
That'll ever be blue and smiling
No matter what day comes by;"
He flung it i'm love about her
With fatherly twist of his hand,
And then He rested a moment,
And christened her-Ireland!
And it seemed he couldn't leave her
Till He hung jewels on her breast,
And raised up her emerald mountains
To merge in the crimson west.
He lined her with golden sunsets,
Put His own smile in the dawn, d,
And gave as His peace, the twilights
That linger so soft and long.
He spake, "Now with strands of silver
I'll bind thee, my pretty jewel,
Not with chain that's CALLING,
Not with a strand that's cruel;"
So He twisted and twined the rivers
We see to this blessed day.
Not all the waves of the ocean,
Shall ever wash them away!
That's why sometimes when we're dy.
ing,
We want to go home, some tell,
Thro' that land that is next to heaven
And, too, we would rest spell;
O., sure, when the angels lead us
Well be hoping to glimpse the sod
OF that isle in the western ocean,
That sweet little land of God!

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA.

The Surgeon General of the army
has issued the following rules to the
public to safeguard against the spread
of respiratory diseases:
1. Avoid needless crowding-influ-
enza is a crowd disease.
2. Smother your coughs and sneezes
Others do not want the germs which
you would throw away.
3. Your nose, not your mouth, was
made to breathe through-get the
habit.
4. Remember the three Cs-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean clothes
5. Try to keep cool when you walk
and warm when you ride and sleep
6. Open the windows-always at
home at night; at the Office when prac
ticable.
Z. Choose and chew your food we'll
8. Your fate may be in your own
hands-wash your hands before eat
ing.
8. Don't let the waste products Of
digestion accumulate-drinka glass OF
two of water on getting up.
10. Don't use napkin, towel
spoon, fork, glass, or cup which has
been used by another person and no
washed.
II. Avoid tight clothes, tight shoes
tight gloves seek to make mature
your ally not your prisoner.
IL. When the air is pure breath,
all of it you can-breathe deeply.

WELL-DREssED WOMAN.

An expert on the well-dressed woman
has made the statement that the best
way to dress economically and smart
ly is to provide oneself with one suit
and many hats.
You can see how this works out.
The initial cost of the suit covers the
whole season, and it must of necessity
be of some dark and wholly incon-
spicuous material Then the changes
are run on the hats, having as many as
ones pocketbook or ones mood will
allow.
A hat can change tailored or a
seml-tallored suit from morning
gown into an afternoon gown and again
into restaurant gown. It sounds like
a magician's trick.

THE IRISH FISHING DISTRICTS.

Dublin-Lord Robert Cecil, British
under secretary for foreign affairs, has
informed Thomas O'Donnell, member
Of Parliament for Kerry, that the EN-
barge on the export from Ireland to
the United States of cured mackerel
has been removed. Last year the
Dingle coast of Kerry alone exported
to the United States over 5000 tons of
mackerel. The removal of the EN-,
barge has given great satisfaction in
the Irish fishing districts.

Soon after the Irish members had

THEM WAS TIL HAPPY DAYS.

A writer in the Washington Times
has tried to tell how we used to live
only twenty years ago. Here are some
of the things we did in those days, ate
and thought:
Bicycles were common as legs.
Automobiles and millionaires were
rare.
Table board was So week, or SIS
a week with the "best room in the
house,
Hotels had "bill of fare" and the
menu with prices marked opposite
were almost unknown.
Appendicitis had just been discov-
cred.
Nobody wore white shoes, and palm
beach suits were in the ALPACA stage"
Cream was six cents a pint and milk
five cents a quart. Bacteria had just
taken its first sip of the tactical fluid.
Catalogues were musk melons.
Farmers came to town for their mail
The hired girl did the washing, and
worked for $3.50 a week.
The butcher threw in" chunck of
liver.

WHAT HOME is.

October q.
WHAT HOME is.
Home is a place of peace; a shelter
not only from injury, but from all
terror, doubt and division. In so
far as it is not this, it is not home
so far as the anxieties of the outer
world penetrate into it and the un.
known, unloved or hostile society of
the outer world is allowed by either
husband or wife to cross the thresh.
old, it ceases to be home: it is then
only part of that outer world which
you have rooted over and lighted fire
in. But so far as it is a sacred place
vestal temple, a temple of the
hearth watched over by household
gods, before whose faces none nav
come but those whom they can re-
ceive with love-so far as it is this
and roof and fire are types only OF
nobler shade and light, shade as OF
the rock in a weary land and light
as of the Pharos in the stormy sea-
so far it vindicates the name and
fulflls the praise of home.
And wherever true wife comes
this home is always around her. The
stars only may be over her head, the
glow worm in the night cold grass
may be the only fire at her feet. but
home is yet wherever she is, and fol-
a noble woman it stretches far round
her. better than ceiled with cedar OF
