The Jagger trial was begun on
Monday nnd by 12.30 a jury was
secured and the trial, the set-sation
of the hour, was begun. Word was
received here that the accused had
committed suicide, and that jurors
and witnesses bad not come to New
ton. Later news said the injuries
were not Berious, and then there
was an exodus for Newton, over
bad roads and through the biting
cold. Some entire families have
been subpoenaed, some members
dery knowing anything of import
ance relating to the case, and this
wholesale calling of witnesses paused
some lively hustling for help to do
the work at home.

A few weeks ago Scotchman came

and began relating the symptoms of
his ailment. When he had concluded
the physician said:
- 'The first thing you must do Is to
stop smoking and the next Is to cut
off your liquor, and then there must
be no more midnight suppers."
. "Humph!" ejaculated the Scot. "I
dlnna like that."
"Well," said the physician, relent
ing, 'If you must have something to
eat at night take a few biscuits and
a glass of warm milk about an hour
before retiring; but no liquor, remem
ber." "And la thet all?" asked the Scotch
man, as he arose gravely from his
chair.
"I think so," said the doctor. "Of
course, I want you to come In to see
Die again In about a week."
'Well, good-day to ye, doctor," said
the patient, as be stepped toward tba
door.
"Oh, I beg your pardon, my usual
fee la 12 2s.," said the physician, as
be picked up the note of Introduction
from his desk.
. "Two guineas, and fer what?" ask
ed the Scotchman.
"for my advice," replied the phy
sician. ' "Then," replied the Highlander,
Til naw pay ye a penny."
"And why not, pray?" asked th
