PUT TRUST IN THE LORD.
Hovel Defence Made by a Colored M»»
Am tverinK to the Charge
of Tlieft.
“Last winter when I went south for
my health,” said Col. L. S. Brown, of the
Southern railway, who, according to the
Washington Star, always has a good
story in stock, “I was told they were
going to try a colored man for stealing
a quantity of raw cotton, and when the
hour arrived I went up to the court
house to hear the case. The prisoner
was a man about 40 years of age, and
he had elected to plead his own case.
The prosecution proved that the bag
of cotton was found in the colored man’s
cabin, and the property was fully iden
tified as belonging to the owner of a
compress. The prisoner asked no ques
tions, but said he wanted to make a
statement and rest his case ‘wid de
Lawd.’ After awhile he w*as given an
opportunity to speak and said:
“ ‘I was gwine by dat compress at
’leben o’clock last night when a voice
dun called out to me: ‘Hold on, dar,
Abraham Jones. Yo’ was a pore man,
an’ yo’ jest take ’long dis bag o’ cotton
;o buy yo’ some shoes fur cold weath
er.’ Den de bag fell at my feet, an’ I
dun took it home.’
“ ‘Did you recognize the voice?’ said
the judge.
“ ‘No, sah; but I reckon it was an
angel who spoke.’
“ ‘Then why did you hide the bag
when you got home?’
“ ‘Yv ck, sah, jest as I got frew de gate
another voice dun told me dat I’d bet
ter hide de cotton for a few days.’
“‘Did you recognize that voice?’ t
4 n tali' hnt T Hnn rw’knn it was ft.
voice from heben.’
“ ‘And that’s your defense, is it?’
“ ‘Yes, sah. I’ze willin’ to rest dis case
in de Lawd’s hands-. De Lawd He dun
knows I nebber stole dat cotton.’
“ ‘Hadn’t you better have a lawyer?’
suggested the judge, with something
like a smile on his Pace.
“ ‘I reckon not, sah. I’ze been gwine
to church fur de las fo’ty y’ars, an’ I’ze
restin' dis case right in de hands ob de
Lawd.’
“ ‘Then I shall have to give you four
months in jail, Abraham.’
“ ‘Huh, what fur?’
“ ‘For stealing that cotton.’
“The prisoner received his sentence
■without a word, seeming to have ex
pected it, and was presently led away.
Two weeks later I met him on the streets
of a town 50 miles away and said to him:
“ ‘Abraham, I thought you were in
jail over at Selma?’
“ ‘Yes, sah, I was,’ he replied.
“ ‘And I remember you put your case
In the hands of the Lord?’
“ ‘ ’Deed, but I did, sah, an’ I cum out
all right.’
“ ‘But you got four months.’
‘“So I did, sah—so . 1 did, but arter
serving nine days ob de time de Lawd
showed me how to dig outer dat jail, j
an’ yer I am an’ dey won’t nebber git j
me agin.’ ”

The thin girl must sleep as many
hours as possible. She must not wor
ry. And she must live in the open air
and sunshine just as much as she can
every day, says American Queen.
Study your own physical make-up and
then develop the weak parts, while at
the same time you keep up the exercises
for the whole body in general.
Be careful not to let any physical j
fault get a start. Prevention is so much
more valuable than cure. And if you
will cultivate a keen eye for your own
imperfections, it will not be difficult to
overcome them at the start.
Do not neglect to carry yourself welL
Do not bend over at the waist. Hold
your head straight and erect. It will
j Increase both your own self-respect and
produce a better impression on all about
you.
Your voice may be cultivated till it
will of itself attract friends to you.
Train yourself to notice pleasant voices
and then modulate your own and see
that it always gives out its best tones.
Control of the voice will have great
influence over your disposition. Be
careful that your voice is never harsh
or whining.
You cannot be graceful unless every

dom of action.
No Indoor exercise can take the place
of activity in the open air.
The skin is of the greatest value in
eliminating impurities from the body
and therefore should be kept in perfect
condition.
If the top of a shoe does not allow the
toes to spread forward and outward they
will have to turn up. It is easy to see
how painful this will be in playing
games, or in walking down hills, or in
deep bending, or in Jumping down from
any height.
Never use any metal instrument
about the teeth or you will run the risk
of injuring the enamel. Never bite
threads or crack nuts with the teeth.
Mutton tallow is very good for the
hands. A few drops of camphor in It
have a healing effect.
Rest is fully as important for the
thin girl as diet Relieve all tension by
closing the eyes and banishing all
thought for short Intervals.
Never neglect your hands, and espe
cially your nails. Keep both scrupu
lously neat. !

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reajhed tne goal,
Kimball is Prom inent.
One of the most perfect maslcal scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. A ft
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered.
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
