 Degree Murder

The grand jury, which yesterday considered the evidence against Ward, returned true bill of murder in the first degree this morn- ing. Defender L. J. Nickerson said that the defendant was willing to plead guilty to lesser degree of murder if the state cared to accept that. States Attorney Walter Hol- comb said that he was satisfied that the ends of justice would be met with such plea ard Judge Maltbie &C., cepted the recommendation.
 Ward exhibited little interest in the proceedings and accepted his sen- tence as matter of course. At one time it was thought Wards defense would be that of insanity but Public Defender Nickerson abandoned this, Wards condition Is not good as he had suffered from the effects of bullet wound in the foot received at the time he was captured by a posse,

 No Great Rush
 Some 30 odd thousand folk came out to see the sport but the early rush of the unreserved sections was missing and the crowd filtered into the upper stands and bleachers as slowly as on some late September day when the cellar champions are playing the home folks in football weather.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WHERE NOT TO GOSSIP

GOSSIP is, of course, despicable.
We are brought up to know that.
But just the same, we all gossip.
Those Of us who are well bred, or live
up to our breeding, don't gossip.
Those of us who act in an ill-bred
manner, whether or not we are ILL
bred, do gossip maliciously. That is
about all there Is to it.
SO If most of us are bound to Cos
sip-that is, to pass along interesting
bits of news about out friends and
neighbors-let us be careful where we
gossip. And word in defense Of
gossip. Really the news in the news
papers, and the contents of books of
memoirs and biography are nothing
more or less than gossip. SO long as
our gossip is not malicious, it need not
be entirely condemned, for there is
deep7seated desire in man to gather
and pass on news Of all kinds.
One place not to gossip-and that
is over the telephone. Don't ever
talk about your neighbors by phone.
because OF the chance that somebody
else might be listening-even If what
you are saying is entirely pleasant.
Don't gossip in a train or trolley
car. 1t Is necessary to raise the voice
to make it heard in a train or car.
and others might overhear what Won
say. Again, though that might be en-.
tirely pleasant, you would not want 70
De quoted by someone who overheard
you.
Don't gossip on postal card. Don't
gossip with servants. Don't gossip
with children. Don't gossip across the
back fence. Indeed, the whole thing
comes down to this: If you must Cos
slp-and most of US do-gossip In the
place and time conventionally given
over to conversation.

SOME OLD YULETlDE BELIEFS
Season Supposed to Control the Des-
tiny of Children Born at
Gladstone Time.

ATTN OLD superstition says
ksGSA "a that it is lucky to be born
E- on Christmas Day.
- French peasants believe
that in addition to being
lucky Christmas Day babies have the
gift Of prophecy; while in Silesia
there is belief that a boy born on
Christmas Day will become either a
lawyer or thief.
Among Vosges peasants, children
born on Christmas Eve are supposed
to be endowed with what is vulgarly
termed "a good gift of the gab," while
those born on Christmas Day are sup
posed to have less tongue and better
reasoning powers. A daughter born on
Christmas Day will grow up to be
wise, witty, AM virtuous.
A curious beUuest for the benefit of
Christmas Day babies was left by a
man who died in 1915. BY the terms
Of his will each child born in the
testator's native town on December
25th receives five pounds as a birth
day gift.
