Case.

Montpelier, April 6.--The defense
rested is case this afternoon in the
ial of George O. Hale charged with
numbering H. Lester Morse on Febru-
airy /, and the state viii introduce a
little rebuttal evidence tomorrow.
The respondent was on the witness
stand most Of the day. The court room
was very quiet as he told the story Of
shooting Morse. In telling Of Morse's
approach he said Morse looked Ahe a
wild man, that he did not dare shoot
by Morse because he was afraid of
him. He testified that he first went
TO the sugar house near the site of
the murder and that he then returned
o the spot where there was wire
across the wood road. He saw Morse
coming. He cut the wire and then
went to his sleigh. AS he took the gun
out of the sleigh Morse told him to
get out OF there. The respondent re-
piled telling Morse if he came any
close he would shoot Morse did MOI
stop and the respondent shot. Morse
dropped and then the respondent
drove to a neighbours house where he
notified the authorities. He stated
tina: he did not carry his gun with an
intent to do Morse any harm but pure
ly for p otection, that he was afraid
of Morse.
The cross-examination the attorney
general pressed the respondent with
ores ions relative to his menJal atti
tude at the time he shot Morse. The
Respondent at hrst C aimed he was
cooi and not excited but later admit
ted that he was like any man under
great st ain. The AT orney general
asked him il he did not intend to kin
Morse with his shot. Hale claimed he
never thought Of that and that he OK
planned that he did not dare to shoot
by Morse, Mr.. Archibald then said.
Then sir, you did intend to hit him"
| Hlia replied Il never thought"
"What were you thinking about?'
said the attorney Hale said, q
thought to stop him" Hale denied
that he had ever driven any pc. sons
from his land with a gun, but it is ex
pected witnesses will testify to the
contrary tomorrow.
Taken as a whole Hale surrounded
himself with very strong case Of
selfde'ense and attorney gene al wi h
a grilling cross.examination was I'M
able TO break him down to any great
extent, The court had to caution Hale
to reply to the attorneys questions
on different occasions. The emaind-

Stage
OfLife FoIIO7cS
The Middle Age
BY EIwOOd Lawrence.

AS a solace 10 those who look with
dread TO entering upon that stage OF
life comes the declaration OF an
eminent London physician that wom-
en- are happiest after they pass the
age Of 35. Nevertheless. If the state
ment should meet with general ac-
ceptance, one may expect 20 hear
few professions of great happiness
from feminine persons Of uncertain
years.
The medicos dictum. however, Is
not likely to meet with assent every
where. A woman lawyer discussing
it says the age at which one Is
happiest depends on the type 10
which one belongs; but she adds
that of course she herself Is not 80
yet and therefore is not qualified TO
give an opinion.
"ChildhoOd's happy days" have
become proverbial. Middle age is not
commonly regarded as the period
in which life is sweetest Reeponsi-
bilities have been assumed with
which the youth is not burdened,
and there is no longer that expecta-
ton Of a glorious future which col
Ors and beauties earlier years that
without it would be drab. In the
bright lexicon OF youth there's no
such thing as fall" BY the time one
OF either sex reaches 80 the meaning
of the word has been learned.
But, on the other hand, when that
age has been attained there IS n
pleasant tranquility in life which is
not enjoyed by the young person
beating against the bars OF tradi-
ton and convention. knowledge has
come. and wisdom has fingered Re
belliOn against the unacceptable facts
Of life has ceased Calmly, philOsO-
phically. one takes things a they
come, rejoicing that IL is easier 70
resist the temptation TO do unwise
things
And yet with all this. who can
doubt that the woman who wakes
up 10 a realization that half Of the
allotted three score years and ten
are gone thinks wistfully Of her lost
youth?

heels, eschews the street for a part all of
his trip down town, and starts his day with walk

Not only will the walker reap immediate delights

energy. And the chances that he acquires
the habit. he will continue It, walking just the
