You are vile, you are unscrupulous.

against you."
But Pinet, in conformity with sound
French legal procedure did not con-
fess his guilt but continued to look
scornfully at the prosecutor who then
turned to the jury exclaiming, "See
that this man pays the penalty of his
odious crime." The defence counsel
then proceeded to ridicule the theories
f the prosecution, asserting that the
case was clearly one of suicide. He

drowning herself, and then firing a
pistol bullet through her brain. It took
the jury only 15 minutes to return a
r r(+ict of not guilty. The crowd
!slake into cheers and the ensuing
celebration lasted in the village for
the rest of the night.
Some months ago Miss Olive Bran-
son, an eccentric.,rniddle-aged English-
woman of good family, was nrurd Br-
ed at Aix-en-Provence, Fran::e. At
least it seemed certain that she was
murdered. She was found alae in her
nightgown in a water tank in the
grounds of the villa she occupied.
There was a bullet wound between
her eyes, and although the first local
thepry was that she had comrniSted
suicide, medical evidence and uolice
investigations made this seem Isir'.i'y
untenable. Francois Joseph Caesar
Pinet, a peasant, was arrested and ac-
'cused of the crime. At a sensational
trial he has just been acquitted, but
this surprising issue is not likely to
change the opinion of the authorities I raised a motion at the All -Indian coi-
MAHATMA GANDHI AGAIN IN
CONTROL OF INDIA
A year ago it seemed to the care-
less onlooker that Ganhi had lost his
power with the natives of India. He
was supposed to have retired from
activity in public affairs for the ptir-
pose of spending the rest of his life
in pious meditation. But it seems
likely that this strange man will
never lose his power with the Hindu
n -,asses so long as he lives, and after
he dies his power may be greater still
for he will have become a saint and
martyr. The proof that he has by
no means withdrawn into himself was
proved a short time ago when he pro -
that Miss Branson was murdered, that grecs demanding complete self-gov-
Pinet had a strong object for murder-
ing her, that he had the opportunity
and that he was the last person to
see her alive. Why then was he ac-
quitted? In the past few years there
have been no fewer than six English-
women murdered in France and up to
date nobody has been convicted of
murdering any of them. It would
seem that public opinion in certain
parts of France is opposed to the ex-
ecution of French youths who may
'have fascinated foolish Englishwo-
men. At the trial of Pinet public
opinion was emphatic, and we give
an account of it not more because of
the general interest excited by the
murder on account of the standing of
the dead woman than as a picture of
-Judicial processes in the south of
France.
Feeling was so intense when the
trial opened that the French Govern-
ment had to supplement the local gen-
darmerie with a detachment of black
soldiers who, with fixed bayonets,
were ready to quell any rioting. The
main points in the case were soon
established. Miss Branson was admit-
tedly in love with Pinet whom she
made manager of a little hotel she
had bought in Les Baux. It was not
denied that this comely young peas-
ant waq her luver. It was shown short-
ly after her death that Miss Branson
had made a will in which she be-
queathed the property to Pinet, a fact
of which he was aware. One night
Pinet visited her. The next day her
body was found by a servant in a
water tank. Nobody else was known
to have called upon her that night.
After these facts had been made clear
the judge, in conformity with French
practice, proceeded to question the
prisoner. They were such questions
as no judge in a British or American
court would think of asking. Pinet,
apparently, had not the right to re-
fuse to answer. The judge showed
considerable ferocity and was really a
part of the prosecution. The specta-
tors, who were all adherents of Pinet,
strongly resented the line taken by
the judge, and murmurs rising' to
growls and even cries were heard. At
one time the judge hurled his hat on
the desk and shouted, "Clear the
court." Nobody moved and the inci-
dent ended thus, the judge resuming
his questioning with t'he greatest viva-
city and the crowd showing its dis-
approval.
Pinet admitted that he was in ser-
ious financial difficulties and that he
knew the hotel would come to him but
he insisted that he did not want it. It
was proved that even before the body
had been found he had made inquiries
of a lawyer about Miss Branson's
will. A medics -legal expert for the
prosecution swore that Miss Branson
bad undoubtedly been murdered. A
local doctor contradicted him, saying
that it was obviously a case of sui-
cide. The judge ordered that the ex-
pert should be brought hack and he
threw his wig down to emphasize his
annoyance. So the two doctors stood
side by side while the judge; the
prosecuting counsel, the defence coun-
sel, and several jurymen joined in a
general discussion, two or three speak-
ing at once. What they were saying
was lost on most of the auditors, for
half a dozen different dialects were
simultaneously in use. After this
babble had continued for some time
with +he judge unable to restore or-
, der, he adjourned court for fifteen
minutes.
Inspector Gnibbal of the Marseilles
police was then called. Immediately
the law»er for the defence accused
'rim of having given Pinet the third
degree for eleven hours. Gubbal re-
torted, "It is quite the fashion nowa-
days to hurl th i e1 degree brutality
charges at the police, but I know my
job and I am ennvinced' that Pine+,
murdered Mine R''aneon." At this the

ly, but the pehlic prosecutor came to

er•nnent for India. The motion was
passed. Had he so desired there is
little doubt that he could have swept
the delegates into open rebellion then
and there and spread fire and desola-
tion throughout India. But he holds
to his old doctrine of non-violence.
A committe has been formed which
is empowered at a suitable time to
put into effect Gandhi's proposals for
the non-payment of taxes and other
schemes of non -co-operation, which
are designed to make British adminis-
tration impossible. In face of this
threat the British government is
about to despatch an extra division
to India to meet any emergency
which may arise. It seems an inad-
equate step, but what else is to be
done?
There seems to be little doubt that
if the principle of non -co-operation
is put into effect government must
break down. Passive resistance ix
much more difficult to deal with than
violent opposition. You cannotshoot
down men whose resistance is pas-
sive. Nor is it possible to put some
nill:ons of people in jail or herd
thrm in concentration camps. The
gr•ea`est hope is that Gandhi nay
change his mind again, and one of his
most human failing is that he dues
this from time to time. At first he
arrroved the prospect of dominion
gu;errment as held out by Lord Ir-
win, the viceroy, but on reconsidera-
tion withdrew his support and threw
in his lot with the younger and more
impatient element among the natives
who want independence as soon as
possible. There is a chance that he
may be persuaded again to give do-
minion status a trial. Probably he
would do so if convinced that the de-
mand for immediate self-governmeit
was bound to end in bloodshed. Ev-
en those who most fear Grandhi's in-
fluence know that he would rather see
India perpetually enchained rather
than win independence as the result
of civil war, or probably at the cost
of seeing a dozen of her sacred cows
butchered. For that is the kind of
holy madman he is.
Gandhi has no political, religious
or social organization. He has no ma-
chinery for spreading his views. His
party is the masses of India who rev-
ere him. It seems not an exaggera-
tion to say that no other individual
in the world has such a personal influ-
ence among so great a number of peo-
ple as Gandhi. Among the Indian po-
litical leaders he has man enemies.
The younger men whose plans for ac-
tive rebellion he refuses to sanction,
and the elder teachers whose funda-
mentalism he attacks would be glad
to see him out of the way, and prob-
ably would have taken means to put
him out of the way before this were
't not for his hold on the masses.
They do not regard him as a politi-
cal leader or religious reformer but
simply as a kind of god. It amazes
-hose who understand the strength of
the caste system in India to find the
man who is its most powerful critic
being revered as a saint. He is do -
'ng• what he can to destroy one of
the very foundations of the Hindu re-
'ig-,on when he espouses the cause of
the "untouchables" and actuallyt forc-
es these outcasts into the company of

chine age and in a world where ma-
chinery is multiplying every day?
It would be simple indeed if every-
one were like Gandhi, and perhaps his
chief delusion is that what he has
made of himself every other man can
make, too. Two cents a day would
provide him with all he wants. iHe
is naked except for, a loin cloth. He
eats so little that he is a mere skele•
ton. He has no lust to possess any-
thing. Here is a man with an Eng-
lish university education who was at
one time a promising young lawyer,
respected and admired by English
people of the professional class with
whom he was in daily contact, who
says all possessions and all modern
inventions are vanity, and really the
enemies of a man's soul• "What shall
it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his soul?" says Gandhi
and a considerable difficulty is found
in answering him. He does not re-
gard himself as a martyr nor as one
deserving sympathy. One of the most
astounding things about him is a
keen sense of humor. Truly he is one
of the most extraordinary men of his
time and one as likely as any other
who might be mentioned to leave his
indelible impress upon his own age
and the ages which are to follow it.

papers, and • br Dr. +Cook ,l 1ln►self who
had again reeover his ,aplomb, was
bitterly against Phi ip Gibbs and his
paper. The Daily Chronicle was the
object of sttstaine+d and vitriolic at-
tacks and Gibbs went about Copen-
hagen in genuine peril of his life. He
had staked his reputation and that
of his paper on a "hunch."
Gradually, however, scientists and
geographers began to be suspicious of
Dr, Cook's claims; and their doubts
were finally confirmed upon the re-
turn of the Peary Arctic expedition
with Captain Peary, bearing ample
and unassailable proof that Cook was
indeed an impostor. Philip Gibbs was
upheld.
To -day the articles and commentar-
ies of Sir Philip Gibbs carry weight
the world over; and his novels are
perhaps as widely read as any among
those of the present generation. In
the midst of all this success we won-
der if occasionally he does not pause
to think back upon the day when he
wagered his future against a "huneh"
--and won the toss! And, too, we
muse upon the probability of Sir
Philip's breaking into a gentle sweat
at the recollection of those hectic
weeks during the autumn of 1909.

Far too many home cooks are con-
tent to merely open the can of vege-
tables and serve. The canned vege-
tables should be given as much chance
as fresh ones, for with the aid of
milk, butter, eggs, cheese, seasonings,
crumbs and other helpful ingredients
many delightful vegetable dishes may
be evolved from the canned product.
It is not long since we were in-
structed to "drain the vegetable and
rinse before cooking." Vegetables can-
ned by modern methods are safe and
wholesome, and the liquors from them
because of the mineral salts and vit-
amins they contain, should be care-
fully conserved and used in soups
and sauces. k
The canned ivegetables may be suc-
cessfully served as one of the dinner
vegetables, or may be combined with
meat, eggs, or cheese to form the
main dish of the meal.
REGARDLESS OF MARKETS HE
ALWAYS MAKES MONEY
One man in Canada always makes
money. He is J. H. Campbell, deputy
master of the Royal Mint at Ottawa.
There are days when Mr.' Campbell
has made upwards of 200,000 silver
quarters, others when his output con-
sists of a fortune in gold coins; still
others when the result is a multitude
of lowly coppers.
The sight of vast amounts of coin
is strange to most Canadian.. To,

of coins; all of which would be honor-
ed at, face value in the world of com-
merce outside the high steel fenced
walls of the royal mint. He is in
the business of buying gold bricks,
not by ones or two, but by the hun-
dredweight. Silver bullion to him is
merely raw material.
Of all the government services, the
business of making coins alone is not
controlled and directed by the Can-
adian government. The royal mint at
Ottawa is a branch of the royal mint
of Britain and is under the direction
of the Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, chan-
cellor of the exchequer. and master
of the mint. Mr. Campbell, the pres-
ent deputy master. has been in charge
of the Ottawa mint for three years.
The task of keening the Canadian
peoemplexe upplithan would be
with coin ts far more
sunpo ed.
Coins being all but indestructible, in
contrast with paper money, it might
be expected that Mr. Camnbell's ing
merely would be to enlarge the
amount of chin in circulation as the
population grew.
The truth is exactly the reverse.
The Canadian people are very fickle
in their preference for certain coins,
and changing conditions of trade tend
to increase the demand for one coin

FRESH PICKLES EASILY MADE
UP IN WINTER
When Christmas feasts and New
Year entertainments have sadly de-
pleted our winter's supply of home-
made pickles we may always make up
a fre�h supply of pickles and relishes
that are new and interesting, using,
for their foundation, every -day vege-
tables and canned fruits found in al-
most every household. The large cu-
cumber pickles which may be pur-
chased in almost any delicatessen shop
also may be used for winter pickle
making.

bage, outside leaves and core remov-

THE SKEPTICAL ATTITUDE
MADE GIBBS A CELEBRITY
It is over twenty years since Dr.
Frederick Albert Cook thrilled the
world with his announcement of the
discovery of the North Pole. The de-
tails of his stupendous fraud may
have become dimmed in the memories
of most of us, but Sir Philip Gibbs,
brilliant correspondent and novelist,
has excellent reason for remembering
with exceeding vividness the redoubt-
able Dr. Cook and his pseudo -discov-
ery.
In September of 1909 Dr. Cook sail-
ed triumphantly into Copenhagen on
the return voyage from his "dash to
the pole" -there to be deluged with
floods of congratulatory messages,
official honors—and newspaper ' cor-
respondents. In the last -mentions:
category was included plain Mr. Phil-
ip Gibbs, representing the London
Daily Chronicle, and, incidentally, the
only English-speaking - member of
that first -arriving group of eager
journalists.

first interview. He talked freely and
with confidence, impressing all news -

Winter Cucumber Pickles.
Twelve large, firm so'ur pickles, 1

sugar, one-half mixed spices.
Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar
in a large bowl. Cut the pickles in
round slices, about one-half inch
thick. After the sugar has dissolved
in the vinegar, put a layer of the cut
pickles in a bowl and sprinkle spices
over them; do this until all are used.
Let stand in the bowl for three days,
stirring the mixture occasionally,
then put into jars with cowers, and

I get out a paper sack and make it
into a container for trash and gar

how many steps it will save you if
you will put into the sack the many

DAINTY WINTER DISHES
Canned vegetables come into their
own during the winter months when
the supply* of fresh vegetables is so
scarce and so highly priced as to be
beyond the means of many families.
There still remain persons who do
not approve of canned vegetables; who
consider the dusty, wilted, so-called
"fresh vegetables" sometimes found
in the shops, superior to canned vege-
tables.
Canned vegetables are healthful.
Many of the vegetables used for can-
ning are specially grown and are care-
fully selected before they are canned.
Most of the vegetables are put up
within twenty-four hours of the time
they are picked, and as the raw ma-
terial is canned when it is fresh, it
comes to our kitchens fresh.
It has been found that canned foods
retain their vitamin content to a very
large extent due to the fact that the
air is removed from the food before
the can is settled, and that the cooking
is done after the fond is sealed into
the air -tight ean. It is cooking in
the presence of air which destroys
many of the vitamins, so that canned
foods, cooked as they are in the abs-
ence of air, retain their vitaming bet.
ter than the same foods cooked at
home.
When a family is not enthusiastic
over the canned vegetables that are
served, it is probably ;because a poor
quality has been, ,bought or because
the vegetables have not been prepay -
Tomato Rarebit.
Two cups canned tomatoes, one-half
pound sharp cheese grated, 1 egg, 1
tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon onion
juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, a few grains
of cayenne, toasted crackers.
Simmer the tomatoes with the sea-
sonings. Add the grated cheese, re-
moving the saucepan from the fire.
Stir until the mixture is creamy. Add
the beaten egg and +butter in tiny bits.
Pour the mixture over hot crackers.
Creamed Peas With Eggs.
N middle life, when vitalityI
is not as great as it once
was, and the blood stream is
naturally thinned and de-
vitalized, anaemia easily lays
hold on the system. At first,
just a tired feeling, it
quickly results in bodily
weakness that ordinary tonics
cannot avail. ,
. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
then become a wonderful aid.
They supply the necessary
oxygen to the blood, increase
the blood count and renew
waning vigor-
"'
igor"I was seized with anae-
mia," writes Mrs. Charles
Lambert of Port Hope, Ont.,
"and was in a very bad stats.
As a girl I had taken Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for a
tun -down condition and de-
cided to take them once
more... Again the result was
marvellous. In a little while
I was fully well again."
You cannot begin too early
to check anaemia. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are sold at
your druggist's or by mail,
postpaid, 50 cents, from The
Dr. Williams Medi. -i„. Co.,

Carrot Cups With Peas.

a leg of mutton or other roast. When
the roast is carved a cup or two may
be placed on each plate.

ing, in water to which one-half tea-
spoonful salt has been added, When

skewer, drain, cut in sections and hol-
