The case is being tried be- fore a jury in the superior court. The motion was made by the de- fendant at the conclusion of the tes- timony of both sides.

Hadlai Hull made the mo- tion to direct the verdict for the de- fendant on the ground that the plain- tiff had failed to prove his case. The motion was argued for a half hour at the conclusion of which Judge Shum- way ruled that he would have the case go to the jury on the question of facts. ¢ The jury was recalled and the argu- ments were started, Attorney Charles W. Comstock for the plaintiff making the opening arguments. When the jurors were called this morning it was announced that Juror Avery of Stonington had been unable to report: on account of illness and under agreement of both sides it was decided to proceed with 11 jurors. for $15.00.

But the hish tide has a very important part to play When the tide is out, the grindstone men do their work. They harness up he great stones and chain them to immense flat boats. Then the tide when it comes back lifts the great Larges, and they in turn lift the stones. There is no power like that of the| rising tide. It suggests the measure- less strength of omnipotent God. In getting th grindstones men did all they could, and then turned the job over to God. And God is very glad to give us a life. He said: “Take hold (f my strength.” .

They are not ignorant of war. early part of the last century they took with sad results for themselves, a prominent part in the Greek war for independence from Ottoman rule. War, therefore, is a very positive horror to the monks of Mt. Athos. So | after due deliberation, they decided to send two of their presidents (of whom | there are four named in rotation from cach of the convents each year) to Athens, to lay their fears before the Tepresentative of the secular head of the Greek Church In purscuance of this decision, armed with a loaf of black bread, a little paper of salt, and an ikon of great beauty, newly paint- ed with loving monkish’ care, the two black-robed elders of the ancient reli- gious republic left the protected peace of their cliffs and walls, sea-grit, and ventured the troubled waters of the Aegean to put their difficulties before Prince Demidoff, Imperial Russian Minister to Greece. The secular head and most powerful defender of the Greek Church in the world outside of Mt. Athos s the Emperor of All the Russias. To him in person they could not go. The way was cut off. Neither through Bulgaria in arms nor by way of the besieged Bosphorous could these legates of Mt. Athos come to their next friend and protector. So they went as best they could to his representative, dressed in their ample, flowing robes, their pot hats like cutworn “tiles” turned upside down, and their uncut hair_and patriarchial beards. And the Russian Minister received them, gave them food and drink in his ex- quisite palace in Athens in return for their bread and salt, and treating them with great respect, assured them their case would be put before the Emperor himself, and that a contingent of Rus- slan marines would be sent to guard the peninsula if they had to come all the way from Archangel to get there He told them not to fear, for the Bul garians, too, are of the Greek Church and themselves have a convent all of their own on Mt. Athos; and it was scarcely conceivable that even the least scrupulous of Bulgarian “komi- tadijis” or bandits should lay hostile hands upon the holy things of the Church. But what has bothered the monks of Mt. Athos has not been the Bulgarians. ‘The monks in a vague sort of way know that their treasures of golden images, brilliant studded altar utensils, manuscripts centuries and centuries old, are sufficient to tempt almost any man. They fear, not perhaps an or- ganized attack, but a rald against Wwhich which their hired guard of fifty soidiers would be helpless.

Northernmost, on the western elope of the peninsula is the monastery of Konstam possibly the oldest of the conv ang certainly one of the most picturesque. Its red roofs and incredibly lofty gray walls, windowed like most of the convent walls, only in their upper half, rise from a ring of cypresses like a fairy castle. Here and there near the top of ramparts that seem those of a fortress, little bird cages of square bay windows stick out, upheld by proping wooden beams. The monastery was founded by Constans, son of Constantine the Great, early in the fifth century, mo one quite knows when. It still has a charter granted it by the Byzantine nuel Palaelogus, to which the Emperor’'s signature is scrawled in red letters, possibly red ink possibly the blood of some animal.

The second convent beyond the Pan- teleimon, perched high on a lofty rock, is the monastery of Simon Peter, founded by St. Simon, the hermit, in the thirteenth century—almost a mod- ern building compared to some of the others.

The most natural time for the elim- inative process is in the morning wken both the muscular and nervous systems are relaxed by sleep and rest. When relief does not come readily, it is an excellent plan to take a mild lax- ative at bedtime. Cathartics and pur- gatives, that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should not be employed. An effective laxative remedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the organ: involved, is found in a combination of simple jaxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin _that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle. Mrs. C. C. Allen, 215 Foam St., New Monterey, Calif., Wrote to Dr. Cald- well that she “found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pe just what was needed for constipation and distress of the stomach after eating.
