Something About
Construction
Every one knows how irritating it is to have a
chiffonier, or a sideboard, or a dresser with drawers with
that hitch and refuse to pull out or slide back in—that
don’t run smdothlyt Then there are the drawer bottoms
so rough that one runs slivers under one’s finger nails
when trying to ^>ick something up. And the mirrors that
will not swing without a struggle or won't stay at the
proper angle—cheap furniture, that’s the trouble—per
haps not cheap in price, but in construction. Plenty of
varnish and fine polish on the outside, but too much glue
and “slap-dab” work on the hidden parts.
Of course you can’t find these things like a trained
eye will pick them out, but when things go wrong you
know it soon enough. So with a reputation to keep al
ways adding to, we are very careful indeed that every
part of a piece of furniture is high-class. And we know
if nothing but high-class stuff comes into the store noth
ing but high-class can go out.

ness as to his part In ths prosecution of
Brldwell.
"I am not the proseautor and I did
not originate the prosecution,” said he.
"You are Interested In It?"
•1 am."
The witness said he was interested
In It because he wants to see the law
enforced. «
Who Had the Idea?
"Who conceived the Idea to have Dr.
Cartledge come down and make a per
sonal test of this beer?"
"I do not know." . ...
"Well, then. It Just evolved Itself,
and. .like the wind. It blew where It
listed)?"
In the effort to show what Interest
ths. witness has In the prosecution the
attorney’ asked him If he didn’t expect
some pay from the fund raised at the
Grand some time ago.
"I am attorney for the Good Govern
ment League and as such I suppose I
will receive some pay."
Chemist's Analysis.
Dr. Everhart, the chemist who made
the analysis for Mr. Gordon, stated on
the stand that he found ths beer to con
tain 4 86-100 per cant of alcohol.
Mr. Arnold asked the witness If he
thought six glasses of that beer would
make a man drunk.
He said It wasn’t a chemical question
and he couldn't a rower as an expert.
' Dr. Stewart Roberts, who wan on the
stand Wednesday, was recalled Thurs
day to testify to taking the tempera
tures of Dr. Archibald Smith ami John
Boykin, each of whom drank two
glasses of beer. He said the pulse of
each went up 8 or 10 beats after drink
ing the eecopd gloss, •tv
"Well, doctor, about the singing of
Cartledgs. Isn't It true 'tKat what a
man does when lie-la sober he will do
when he Is drunk, and that If he Is a
songster a drink will bring out the
seollan propensities that lie sleeping In
hie nature 7”
•That sounds pretty," said the wit
ness. "hut I wouldn't admit' It.”
Sang "Old Apple Tree.”
Now. what was th# aongvthe doctor
sang? Did he sing Tn the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree?'
-I believe he did sing a few snatches
of that song.”
"And was It musical? Did It. sound
good ?"
•T can’t say that It did."
John Boykin testified to th* effect the
two glasses of beer had upon him. It
caused the blood to rush to his fact: his
pulse beat a little faster: he felt stim
ulated and a little excited, and alto
gether the effect was that produced hy
the average beer.
Witness told of the effect that three
4 1-10 per cent, would the difference
not bs due to exposure of the beer to
heat. Dr. Everhart did hot believe that
the Increase In alcohol would be eo
great.
The state announced "closed" and W.
L. Brldwell, the defendant, took the
■tand.
Defendant Testlfiee.
He stated that the officers had made
a case against him about a week before
they bought the beer and that he asked
them to come down and get the beer,
make an analyels and give him a fair
showing.
T didn't know what the beer con
tained,” said he. "and I wanted to know
myself. I offered to give them one
barrel, but when they said they wanted
three I told them they had better pay
for It. Everything was open and I tried
to hide nothing from them.”
At the conclusion of Mr. Brldwell'a
statement, Mr. Felder announced hi
would Introduce no further evidence.
Mr. Arnold then stated that he’of
fered the keg of beet as evidence for
the Jury.
”1 object to that statement," said Mr.
Felder.
Jury May Test Beer.
"There is no law.” replied Mr. Arnold,
"which says that the Jury can't have
the Inside of the barrel as evidence as
well as the outside.”
In outlining -his argument to the
court Attorney Felder said he would
Insist that the prosecution has been
In the attitude of trifling with the court
and Jury during the trial of the case.
'They have consumed two days."
said he, "Introducing expert after ex
pert to prove the Intoxicating qualities
of this beer, while their main witness,
the - man who actually made the test,
sits In this court room and la not put
up to testify,
"Ths legal presumption, then. Is that
If he hod been put up he would testify
to a thsory different from tbe theory of
the state.”
At -the conclusion of Mr. Felder's
statement the court took a recess for
fifteen minutes to consider the objec
tion made to letting the Jury have the
beer as evidence.
Whatl Musn't Drink Itl
'As a result of the conference with
the attorneys Judge Calhoun decided
tha‘ the Jury might tackle the keg of
brer and drew some out for the pur
pose of Inspection, but that they could
not Sample It.
