A Maniple of 4fie Idiotk Htyle In Which They uiv Written. Murder Iiuh been written of an a fine art, but It remained for the United .si a i oh to treat it as a sport. In many of the states au Indictment for murder contains* nearly enough word* to fill a column and sound* jiiko the conversation of an Idiot. Here is a sample: "That the said J. F. 0., ft cer tain pistol then and there charged with gunpowder and leaden bullets, .which said pistol he, the said J. F. 0., then and there in his right hand had aud held, then and there unlawfully, purposely and of delib erate and premedlcated malice, did discharge and shoot off to, against mid upon the said V. with th? intent aforeeald, out of the ptfttQl aforesaid, by the force of the gun powder aforesaid, by thd said J. F. a., then and there discharged the shot off as aforesaid, him, the said F. M., in and upon the upper right side of the back of him, the said F. M., then and there" ? ThlB Isn't as idiotic as it looks however. It is part of our sporting theory of justice which makes a mur der trial a game of skill and finesse between opposing counsel; By the slightest deviation from statutory form one may lose the {awe. Con* /victions for the most abhorrent crimes have repeatedly been set aside because of trival verbal omis sions in the indictment. 4 Had the murder referred to in the above quotation occurred in Can uda the Indictment would have read simply "The jurors of our lord the king present that J. P. G. on the tith day of August, one thousand nine hundred and eight, at the city of Winnipeg, in the province of Ma nitoba, murdered F. M." Canadian procedure concerns itself -with the murder. Ours In many jurisdictions concerns Itself with the legal gpOrt, whether the murderer Is punished not being a. secondary consideration. ?'Saturday Evening Post. Notice.

Modern life is one rush, bustle end hustle, with little thought for the niceties of the occasion, yet, rf stranger does not rush Into an of flee or private residence and shout out, "He^lo, hello!" and wind up this by angrily exclaiming, "Well, why don't ,ou answer?" There is a certain civility due over the tele phone as well as In the presence of the other person. Large corporations are rapidly In structing their '.'exchange girls," to use the shortest, and at the same time, most courteous means of call ing a person to the 'phone. Loss of temper does not make for. expe diency. The man who goes to the 'phone In a dignified way, talks In a modulated tone, and has clear cut Ideas of what he wants to say us ually accomplishes his business in a much shorter space of time than the man who wrangles with "cen tral" and U in a temper by the time he gets the person he wants and finds It necessary to explain to a total stranger why he is In such a stew.

Ti-e Misses Gerald Aienti'.for Standard Patterns School Days Are Here NOW IS THE TIME TO LOOK OUT FOR THE BOYS CLOTHING Quality is always important, but in boys clothes it is absolutely necessary. It requires the very best materials and making to keep the knees and elbows covered, the seat from needing patches, the seams from splitting open. Quality, highest quality, perfection; that's the standard of the makers ot HERCULES clothes for boy's. It's the Standard of this store, too. We meet your demands for quality with merchandise of quality. It counts in the fabrics, in the linings, in the tailoring. It counts in the longer wear the boy gets from the garments, in the satisfaction they give while worn. Turn a HERCULES suit inside out and you will find the coat has a patented double lining in the sleeve at the arm pit; right where the wear is most severe.. You will find the pants lined throughout ? * ?V "T.-. njftv 77.

In addition to this, Hercules suits are guaranteed by Daube, Cohen & Company, Chicago, to be all pure wool and shower proof. A Hercules will out-wear two suits of any other make regardless of price.
