MURDER TRIAL FAILURE

This heading may be somewhat
misleading, because the prosecuting
officers worked with zeal to convict
the three Italians who were on trial
in the circuit court at Flint, last
week, charged with the murder of w.
Parke Warner, but the failure of the
jury to agree, after nearly twenty
hours of deliberation, gives the mat
ter an aspect of failure. The pros
ecutor, in his final address presented
the facts in the strongest manner, but
as the evidence was wholly circum-
stantial, and as the accused were rep
resented by eminent counsel, it was
difficult to secure conviction. 1t is
rumored that the jury stood eleven
for conviction and one for acquittal
1t is probable the men will be tried
over again.

OBTAIN VARNISH FROM TREE
China Has Source Of Valuable Supply,
But Its Poisonous Quality Limits
Its Use.

varnish is produced In China from
a tree commonly spoken OF as the var
nish tree. but known botanically as
fhus vernicifera, which Is found in
abundance In the mountains Of Hupeh,
KweichOw and SZechwan.
The varnlsh Is taken from the tree
after II is about six inches in diameter
by tapping at intervals OF from five
TO seven years, until the tree Is fifty or
sixty years Of age. A goOd-sized tree
will yield from five to seven pounds
OF varnish.
The natural color Of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t Is con-
sidered the most indestructible varnish
known. One peculiarity is that 1t hard
ems only In a moist atmosphere.
A In China II Is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish," probably because
1t first came into contact with foreign
trade there, writes Commercial At
tache Julian Arnold from Peking.
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into even atmospheric con-
tact with this varnish, which fact, un-
fortunately, reduces its trade pOssi-
bilities enormously. AS yet no meth
cd has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality can be counteracted.

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Has Something Of Which East
Cannot Boast

Willow Creek Is the ordinary name
Of an ordinary small town I'm Montana.
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more Of the Western flavor. but
Willow Creek is a typical little West
ern town In spite of its name. 1t In
so In the midst of a vast tract Of clean
prairie land that II cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
a paternal watch over IT.

low Creek stands out spunkily--a def-
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
tlon near the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux
uriant groves Of trees FIJI the spaces

houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all comers a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.

Beethoven's Courage.

Ludwig Won Beethoven. the eminent
composer pianist who was born at
Bonn, Austria. in ITO, was perhaps
one of the greatest examples Of pa
thence ever known. At the age OF
thirty he was afflicted with deafness.
yet struggled on, completing master
pieces and living exclusively in his art.
"Until Raphael be struck with blind
ness in the full freshness Of his pow
ers, Beethoven Is without compeer in
the history OF all ages, either In misery
or In bliss" SO said his dearest
friend, who knew him during his years
of affiiction and also success, the lat
ter of which came to him mostly in
Austria's capital.
