ly that the Harper Bennett caw wUI;
In* completed f«r several days yet. i
Jurymnb Pitta, who was indisposed
last night* musing Judge’Oarnett tv

of erairt, was all right this morning,
and the Ihirfier Bennett ease, where-
in llie defendant Is charged with
killing Dr. S. L Hogan at Pottsboro.
Jan. 2. l!*li!, has moved along pretty
well today.
However, the state has not shown
any inelluatUai to close, anil Ihe hope
[ entertained yesterday by the court
that lie would In all probability read
the charge to the jury by noon today,
flitted away In the early hours of the
session this morning, and County At-
torney Ben F. (infford declared at
noon today that the end Is lira even
In sight. There are yet more than
twenty witnesses subpoenaed who
have not been pot on the stand, and
qnito a number who have been—on
have been reealled, so there !r a possi-
bility of the ease going on for several
[days, unci a possibility—Just • a lair*
possibility—that it may eome to a
sudden conclusion tills afternoon or
tonight.
Both sides are fighting harder to-
day than at any stage of the trial,
and there have been some masterful
repartles pulled off between the at-
torneys for the state and the defense,
and Judge Garnett has been kept busy
passing on the contentions of tlit* re-
spective interests.
Four additional witnesses were put
on by the state yesterday afternoon, j
Owing to one of thy jurors, being
sick no session was held last night.
The testimony brought out by all
four witnesses examined during the
afternoon was sultstanthilly the same,
that is that it was the louder reports,
or those from the gun used by the de-
fendant. Harper Bennett, that first
attracted their attention,. and Hint
they heard the smaller, more rapid
shots fire afterwards, it. 1,. Klingle
smith. J. T. Fielder, V. N. Greenup
and It. IV. Nesmith testified to this
effect. Ail four witnesses were sub-
jected to si gruelling eross question-
ing by Col. Hnndell. but maintained
that; It was the louder reports tlmt
they first heard. Counsel for the de-
fendant attempted to expose an unkind
ft'ellug existing between one of the
witnesses. V. N. Greenup, and the de-
fendant, Harper Bennett; witness
maintained that feeling for Bennett
was friendly, hut Intimated an es-
trangement due to Bennett's fault.

Mors Libor Thin Voii Thought.
To write a single letter of the aijiha-
bet. It Is ruugloy estimated, require*
from 200.UU0 to aOO.OOO distinct proc-
esses, all of which are controlled and
directed by the mind. To make the
letter O, for instance, takes hut a kee-
ond, yet If all the menial processes In-
volved had to be performed conscious-
ly years would bo consumed in the
performance. First, the making of the
O la willed la the brain, setting la mo-
tion the activities of thousands of cells
in the hearing areas, the seeing areas,
the speech motor areas and the muscu-
lar motor areas. Hundreds of nerve
threads connecting these cells with va-
rious cells and nerve threads In the
brain are set to work to organize the
movement, while other nerve centers
attend to the business of furnishing
the requisite amount of blood. As a
result, the spinal centers are actuated,
and finally the smaller nerves In the
fingers direct the forming of the O.

1’MON PRAYER SERVICE.
I was C. E. Parham, postmaster at
Pottsboro, who was put on by Ha-
state and remained on the stand the
greater part of two hours, during the
most of which time he was under a
hot cross questioning directed b.V
Col. Randell, attorney for the defend-
1 ant. On direct examination Parhaiu
testified to hearing throe loud reports
before any of
night at Grace Church.
"A Good Soldier’' is the subject the
leader. Rev. L. C, Smith, has selected
for the union prayer meeting to lie
had tonight- at Grace Presbyterian
church, in which the churches wilt!
have a part. Cottage prayer meet-
ings were held in twenty-one districts
the smaller ones. His oyer the city yesterday afternoon and
I evidence included also seeing Mr.
■Tarred, a brother-in-law of Harper
Bennett and of speaking to him about
the time of the killing and near the
scene. On rebuttal by County At-
torney Gafford. Parham further testi-
fied to hearing S. B. Ellis. another 1
witness In the ease, say in the hall of
the court house here last Wednesday
that he, Ellis, was within 10 feet of
Bennett at the time of the shooting
and that he knew there was hut one
other eye witness and that. Lloyd

In response to Col. Randell'* ques-
I tion as to whether he had purposely
held nnything back in talking with
counsel for the state, Parham answer-
1 ed that he had; the question in re-
gard to what .Tarred said to him. Col.
Randell subjected the witness to a
| gruelling cross fire of questions rt-
tempting to prove that he had an in-
I terest, favorahle to the state, in the
I case, and that his testimony was so
I given, especially In regard to S. B

Discovering a Star,
Long had he worshipped her at a
distance, but his shyuess prevented
him from proposing.
Then one evening, for the sweet sake
of charity, a theatrical performance
took place iu which the charmer was
leading lady and more adorable than
ever. Afterward the shy admirer drew
near, his love made valiant by the
sight of her beauty.
"You are the star of the evening,"
he said as they stood alone In a cor
ner.
'‘You are the first to tell me so,” said
the damsel, with a happy blush.
"Then,” he retorted promptly, “may
I claim my reward as an astronomer?”
The lady looked puzzled.
"What reward?” she asked.
“Why, the right to give my name to
the star I have discovered,” said the
young man, speaking boldly at last—

Hawthorn* and Dueling.
It has been thought by most of Haw-

the fatality of act* was founded large-
ly upon a tragic experience of bis own
life. In the belief that a young lady
whom he well knew had been Insulted ?
he challenged the supposed offender to
u duel, hut was prevented-from car-
rying out his purpose by his friends.

been willing to tight a duel is said to
have persuaded him not to decline, and
his opponent killed him.—From Ers-

Th# King’* Way.
It was characteristic of the late King
Edward VIL that he never showed too
much or too little courtesy, but Just
enough to maintain his reputation of
being the most gracious gentleman of
Europe. Some years ago, according to
the author of “The People's King,” his
majesty visited Aberdeen and knighted
the lord provost At the luncheon
which followed the king sat next to
Mrs. Lyon, the wife of the lord pro-
vost nnd noticed on the table the card
denoting her place.
"I must alter this,” the king said,
smiling on the lady.
With his pencil he effaced the word
Mrs. and in ita place substituted Lady
and graciously handed the card to her
newly made ladyship.
