EVIDENCE NEEDED
 ALLING REMARKS
Tells Police They Must Provide
 Their Own Case

Where liquor Is being sold on any premises, 1t Is possible for the state to secure enough evidence to prove 1t beyond a reasonable doubt, and not expect the court to pre- sume too much and complement evidence 10 the point where 6 de- fendant can be found guilty" was the remark made in police court this morning by Judge Benjamin W. filling when he ordered Samuel Bloc of Hartford avenue discharged.
 Patrolman William Grabuck tes- tifed that he has observed the store at tho corner of Hartford avenue and Willow street conducted by Bloc for over two months and had seen men of drinking habits go into the store, and if tho store was closed, they went up 10 Bloc's tcne- ment upstairs. Grabeck said that about three weeks ago he met q man coming from BloC's tenement and ho stopped him. The police man alleged that the man had a bottle of liquor with him and told him that he had just purchased it of Bloc for $l. This man is al- legged by the policeman to have been a regular caller at the Bloc tene- ment after that incident, going there practically every night.
 Judge William F. Mangan, appear ing for Bloc, asked Grabcck who the man was but received the answer that he did not know. Asked for description Of the man, Grabeck said that he could not describe him except 10 say that he was just all ordinary fellow. After more uues- tioninC, he stretched his testimony 10 the extent of saying that he was a sim-bult man.
 Judge Mangan in his argument 10 he court, concentrated on testi- nony Of Graheck on these points, saying that the policeman had de- liberatoly hedged when on the wit ness stand. H. said that the tos- tinony of the policeman was Un- worthy of the consideration of the court and that it would not be right to convict d man on such evidence as he had offered, He brought out that no effort had been made to have the man whom the policeman alleges had purchased the bottle of Bloc brought into court, and claimed that the only reason that the man and the bottle were not in court was because they didn't exist.
 In commenting on the bottle fpiSode, Judge AlIlng said there is one bottle and witness, according 10 the evidence that should be, in court this morning and neither is here. What is the court to pre- sume from that?"
 Bloc was arrested last Saturday

Little Stories For Bedtime
Buster Bar And Farmer Browns
sy TRoRMTon V. svRaass

WHEN Buster Bear got over his
 w first fright after he dropped
 from the big hemlock tree where feasting on the honey of Busy Bee, he stopped running. By this time he was some distance from the tree, for big as he is and clumsy as he appears to be, Buster can run very fast and can cover lot of distance in a very short time. He turned and listened for sounds of some one following him, but heard none. Of course not, for the very good reason that no one was following him. You know Farmer Browns boy had run in just the opposite direction. But Buster Bear had been too badly frightened when he dropped from the hemlock tree to know in which direc- tion Farmer Browns boy had gone. So now he sat very still and strained his ears for some sound that would tell him that he was being followed
 The Green Forest was very still. Only once did he hear anything to teii him that there was another living thing there. A Merry Little Breeze wandering through the treetops brought him the sound of Sammy Jays voice. It was very faint, but it was enough to make Buster growl deep rumhly- grumbly growl. Sammy Jay was laugh ing and Buster knew perfectly we'll why. Sammy was laughing at him, at the way he had dropped out of that tree and run at the sound of Farmer Browns boys yell. It hurt Busters pride, for Buster is no more fond of being laughed at than any one else.
 The Merry Little Breeze passed on and Buster heard nothing more, though he listened and listened with all his might. He treid to use his nose to find out if there was any man smell in the air. You know Buster has very wonder nose. and he depends on it a great deal But all he could smell was honey. You see it was still smear ed all over his face and nose. After a while he felt sure that no one was fol- lowing him, and then he began to think of other things. Yes, sir, he began to think of other things.
 In the first place he ached from the bumps he had received when he dropped out of the tree. He had been to fright ened to feel them at the time, but he felt the m now. But worse than that were the stings from the bees. He hadn't minded these while he was fill ing his stomach with that delicious honey, but he did now. It seemed to him that those bees had found every tender place on his whole body. He ached and he smarted all over, but the smarts were worse than the aches, great deal worse. It seemed to him that he felt one in a new place every other second.
 ''Oh, dear! Oh, dear mel I almost wish I had never found that honey" groaned Buster. "It wouldn't bO so had if had gotten all of it Buster

 You may have your choice" said Uncle Rodgers.
 Say, for two pins I'd come in there and knock your block off if you wasn't older than Methusaleh," threatened the delivery wagon driver.
 And he might have done so except for the diversion created by the foppishly dressed young man from the flat build ing down at the next corner, who stop ped and grinned at the ruin in Uncle Todgers' yard as if he thought it an amusing joke.
 "Say, mister!'' he gayly inquired, "did the wind blow your tree downg' "Oh, what's the use?" Uncle Tod gers said disgustedly. "of course the wind blew my tree down. 1t blew down all the other trees you see strewn over the yards and roadway in this block, but with this tree it was diff ferent.

Hearts of TsCO
CHAPTER 2Os

CHAPTER 2O6 TNHE evening passed all too quickly
 for Marian. It was long since
 she had spent two hours in chat ting of interesting and important mat ters-for her hosts referred no more to her individual problems until just be- fore her departure.
 When she noticed that the clock on the mantel pointed to ten-thirty, she started to her feet. Her hostess spoke almost timidly.
 My dear, think over our suggestion. Frederic"-with a glance at her cousin knows of it, for we have discussed with him the problem of getting good dancing teacher for our own children and the other little folks of whom we are fond. Indeed, it was he who first offered a possible solution to our prob lem."
 Of course it was he! The girl re- flected swiftly. She had known it all along. Under the circumstances should she take advantage of such kindness !?
 Tt was very good of Mir. Parker" 1" she said sedately. ''But he does net know what kind of a teacher w9ull make"
 Tt was not good of m2 a. all! Par ker contradicted. "I just happened to know that you danced well, and mem tioned the fact to Constance. And you dq. not owe her and Tom-nor me-any gratitude for our desire to seize upon something that would be of advantage to the youngstefs."'
 "Of course not l" Tom Crosby agreed "Nor, allow me to add, must you think for a moment of the position if it does not appeal to you"
 "Oh-but it doesv the girl assured him.
 q am going to take you home-if you will let me--and we can discuss the natter" Parker remarked. After which you can consider it and report your decision. There is no hurry about it."
 But there was some hurry to it, the girl confided to him as he and she walked up Fifth avenue together. She refused to have her escort call a cab, and he had not come in his car this evening.
 "I prefer walking at least a part of the way" Marian sad. T have some thing I want to talk to you about. l would not have done 50 but for the proposition Mir. and Mrs. Cdrosby needs this evening. But now-it seems diff ferent."

Fool Questiens
Fool Questions TTNCLE RODGERS was in that \ state of mind that is frequently

Fool Questions TTNCLE RODGERS was in that state of mind that is frequently
 described as ''good and sore" And with very good reason, too. In the storm the night before his favorite elm. noble tree that had long cast q grateful shade over the porch where he enjoyed reading his evening paper, had been leveled to the ground.
 No man wno finds joy in beautiful house and grounds can fail to be dis tressed over the loss of an ornamental elm. especially if in it's fall it smashes n couple of lengths of iron fence, wrecks a flower bed or two and ruins lot of shrubbery. And all that happened to Uncle Rodgers. He felt, as he stood in front of his house viewing the wreckage the storm had caused, that he had a right to be sore.
 But the storms damage was not the only cause of his soreness. Answering the fool questions of neighbors who passed was even more annoying. Be fore Uncle Rodgers had stood in his var dten minutes, more than that num- Der of people had asked him if the wind had blown down his tree.
 Uncle Todgers answered them all po- litely, though it was the most obvious thing in the world that the wind had toppled over his tree, as it had many others in the neighborhood.
 But his patience and his temper de serted hi mwhen a delivery wagon driver pulled up before the gate and greeted him:
 "Hey, sport, did the wind blow your tree down?"
 "Wind blow my tree down?" repeat ed Uncle Rodgers. Certainly not. My neighbours cat chased 6 grasshopper into the topmost branches and their combined weight broke it down."
 "Ohw snorted the delivery wagon driver. You're funny guy, ain't you''
 'No," replied Uncle Todgers. "I'm simply answering a fool according to his folly"
 Say, whadda you mean, callin' me a fool" demanded the delivery wagon driver belligerently. "I ask you a sim ple question and"
 ''No, not a simple question" Uncle Rodgers corrected. Iidiotic' would be a better word"

Personality Can Be Improved
 By Care

T COX your best. Make the best of
 yourself at all times and dress
 for your part whatever 1t is, office kitchen or parlor. It is a help to your job, a reinforcement of your self. Be sure your feet are dressed in shoes that do not throw your body out of balance; a grouch on life often begins in the feet. And maye your clothes look their best. How you wear them is more important than what they are. Dress your hair to frame the face. Select your hat also as a frame to your face. Get the constructive thought reflected from head to foot. Put it on with your clothes and wear it all day, says the Delineator.
 Care for your body. This means right diet, plenty of water, sun, fresh air. If you do not know the proper diet for a person in your condition of life, inform yourself. Remember that water, air and sunshine are as neces- sary as food. Keep the air moving freely in your home and work out a plan that yentilates adequately all the time. Keep the body clean, polished, radiant. The mouth, teeth, skin and nasal passages will repay care in healtk and comfort and save dentist and doc tor hills. Care of the hands and nails and of the hair are marks of refine ment. The feet need the same care as the hands. Foot comfort depends on this care.
 Keeping clean internally means com nlete elimination through bowels and kidneys and pores of the skin. A clog Eed system is the cause of much ill., health and often the basis of an un- pleasant disposition and pessimistic outlook on life, because with a clogged body one loses the ability to think right and to concentrate properly.
 And care for your mind. Do some reading every day--reading that has value to you. This is one kind of mental food. Conversations, lectures, anything that carries you in the direc- tion of better, clearer thinking is men, tal food and helps you to clean out the rubbish of unprofitable ideas and bring in the right of mental fur niture."

BOAT ON THE SEINE

The sun is bright, the Seine IS spar kling and a little steamboat is going to Saint Cloud. And no matter what day of the week it may be it is holiday just because the little boat is going to Saint-C Cloud. It is light and swift, this little boat; it skins through the wa ter easily, silently. There is no effort in its movement. There is but the quiet beating of steady heart, and but ripple about ~the bows. a hghtsome kind of laughter from which we may know that it is holiday and Paris is going to Saint Cloud.
 Today the world is dustless, free of discordant sounds it is shining world built on the edge of a shining river. It is a world of playful bridges, of tall, white houses that seem to face a sea of sunlight, of distant domes and spires that seem familiar with a heaven in the sky. No one is worried in the world today. The affairs of men run smoothly and even though many folk are poor, this is a world in which happiness and joy are among the cheapest things obtainable. The sun is bright, the Seine is sparkling and little steamboat is going to Saint Cloud.-F. c. H. in the Continental Editions of the London Mail.

 One Mother says:
 I taught my busy little Molly how to thread a needle, and she is quite proud of the assistance she gives me with my sewing. She threads all the rather coarse needles use for basting, knots and thread, and places the needle in rows in my large pin-cushion, where they are always ready at hand. She takes great care that I never run out of threaded needles.

I've got to find some mud, and I've got to find it soon. I'll go crazy if don't. There's noth- ing like good cool mud to take the smart out of bee stings. And I guess I need a bath. I'm a mess.

But it wasn't for long The sting from the bees smart ed too much. My, how they did smart !!
