There was a man in our town And he was wondrous wise; He bought a shoddy suit of clothes And thought he had n prize. One day ho wore them in a rain, He’s in a sorry plight; The coat shrunk up into a vest, The vest shrunk out of sight. Ho sowed some foot onto his pants, He’s wearing them for socks; And now to liear that wise man swear You’d think him blasting rocks.
Yes, he’ll know better next time. There can be but one end to buying unreliably clothing, and that is dissatisfaction. What’s the use of taking i? The moneyyou pay for a poor siut will buy |i .rood one at

Jncksoa Rocogniaed by a Juror. It has leaked out that one of the citizens ot Newport who was drawn as a juror for the Jackson trial, recognized the prisoner when he was brought into court. The story told is that on Saturday a jail official asked Jackson if he had ever stopped at the Hotel Avenel, in Newport. When the question was put to Jackson, his face for a moment lost its customary Immobility, and ho an swered negatively. He disclaimed any knowledge of the hotel and professed ignorance of its locality. The Hotel Avenel is on the electric car l;ne to Ft. Thomas, and within a mile of the place where the headless body of Pearl Bryan was found. Its patronage in winter is limited, but in summer the rooms are all occum: : d. The new story, as it goes, is that Mr. Schriver recognized Jackson in the Courtroom Tuesday as a man who had stopped at the Hotel Avenel Thursday, January 3'Jth, in company with a young lady whom he said was his sister. The young lady is described as a blonde and exceedingly pretty. Another special says: Col. Nelson, one of the attorneys for the prosecution of Jackson and Walling, lias made the positive statement that neither Jackson nor Walling will be called on to testify against each other, nor will they- receive any promises of immunity from punishment by the date under any circumstances. Colonel Nelson says the prosecution has an absolutely convicting case against both Jackson and Walling -evidence so conclusive anil complete that, it will send them both to the gallows as the brutal murderers of Pearl Bryan. Colonel Nelson is ready any day to begin the trial, confident ot convicting both the prisoners of the first degree murder. It is now not denied by the prosecution that they hnvo some new and startling evidence in store, which will be brought out at the trial. Notwithstanding the denial made by Ool. Nelson that the prosecution knows nothing of the missing head, the Times Star is in position to state, that at tho proper time the prosecution will introduce a witness who will not only divulge what disposition was made of the head ol pownPearl Bryan, but who disposed of iV. how it was done, and where and a* what time.
