WHAT THE JURY DIDN’T KNOW If They Had, Appeal to Their Sympa thie* Might Not Have Been So Effective. The great advocate—let us call him Mr. McSweeney—was defending a man In a murder case. The case looked hopeless, and McSweeney submitted no evidence for the.defense. So the public prosecutor, believing that conviction was assured, ended with just a few perfunctory remarks. Then, in a quiet, conversational tone the famous McSweeney began to talk totthe Jury. He made no mention oi the murder He just described in vivid colors, a pretty country cottage hung with honeysuckles, a young wife pre paring supper, and the rosy young sters waiting at the gate to greet theii father on his return home for the eve ning me&l. Suddenly McSweeney stopped, he drew himself up to his full height. Then, striking the table with his fist, he cried, in a voice that thrilled every bosom: ‘•Gentlemen, you must send him back home to them!" A red-faced juror choked, and blurted out: "By George, sir, we’ll do it!” McSweeney, without another word sat down, and ten minutes later the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner wept as he shook his counsel’s hand. “No other man on earth could have saved me as you have done, Mr. McSweeney," he sob bed. “I ain’t got no wife or family, sir.” GREAT INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY Though Too Often Ignored, It Is as Deep and Useful a Part of Life as Utility. Beauty is as deep and as useful a part of our general life as is what we term utility. It has just such a reason for being; it has a similar force; it has a set place in the scheme of the world. Eyes not fully opened to the are not wholly alive to the influence of beauty upon our lives and our actions. Alas! sometimes we scoff at the highest expressions of beauty That is to say, the highest human ex pression. Those even greater beauties, which are divine expressions, we Ignore. Just think for a moment. Take yourself away from yourself and con template yourself and your living, sei against the background of the univer sal scheme o’s things. Think of the myriads of infinitely petty, wasteful and useless thoughts and actions, desires and dislikes which occupy your day. At the moment you read this, take yourself back two years ago. Ol course, you have not the slightest conception of what happened. But let me tell you that on that day, two years ago, were happening two, a dozen cr a hundred things which seemed to you to be supreme importance. Do you understand how we fill our lives to the brim with millions, of such trifling in consequences?—Kansas City Star. Highest Point in United States. Mount Whitney, the highest point in the United States, is not an isolated mountain peak like Mount Shasta or Mount Rainier, but is the loftiest point in the great California crest or enormous sawtooth ridge of the Sierra Nevada, including many eminences almost as high. Mount Whitney ia 14,501 feet above sea level. Among those of slightly lesser height ara Mount Russell, less than a mile distant, 14,190 feet; Mount Williamson, 14,384 feet; Mount Muir, 14,025 feet; Mount Langley, 14,042 feet; Mount Barnard, 14,003 feet, and Mount Tyndall, 14,025 feet.. The most distant of these is less than six miles away. By a strange freak of nature the lowest point of dry land in the United States is less than eighty miles from the highest. The lowest point is in Death valley and is 276 feet below sea level. It is said that from this point Mount Whitney can be easily seen on a clear day. In the Honeymoon Days. George had been married only a month when his wife made her first batch of biscuits. "Eat all you want of them,” she said when he sat down to dinner. "There's plenty.” So Goirge let her see him eat one. It was the bravest thing he had done so far In hie life, for he was not hungry anyway. "Well?” she said. "Well?" “Great!" said George immediately. He had to let her see him eat four more before she was satisfied, and he couldn’t manage to drop mere than half of each one under the table. “Great!" he said manfully after each. That night he thought he was going to die. Fought Duel to the Death. An unusual duel has been fought at Malaga by two young men named Vereretto and Martorell!, who were both in love with the same girl. They decided to solve the question of which should win her by a duel “a I’outrance,” the survivor taking tho lady. To avoid interference they locked themselves up in a room. There they opened fire on one another with their revolvers, and, having emptied them, continued the battle with their knives. Eventually, when the neighbors broke in the door, they found both cob.batants lying on the floor, and having the most terrible wounds. Ono was already dead, and the other is not expected to live.

LOYALTY THE WAY OF HONOR Alm* and Ambitions of Employer, and Hl* Interest*, Should 8* Tho** of Employe. The te*t of loyalty I*. after all, the test of honor. A young man who fails to keep faith with his employer sacrifice* his own personal Integrity. No excuse may serve to justify disloyalty. Even though your employer break faith with you —as sometime* may, but seldom does, really happen—your attempt to "get even” by betraying him does not strike as hard a blow to him as it does to you. You may quit his employ or you may call him to account, but by being false to the trust he Imposes in you you take upon yourself the same brand and help matters not one bit. In stooping to petty "revenge” you stoop to dishonor. The moment you enter a man's employ you accept—or should accept—the unwritten laws of business, one of which, and chief among which, is loyalty to his business interests. His business secrets whether divulged to you or discovered by you, are to be held Inviolate. The trust and faith he places in you is to be sacredly guarded—more sacredly guarded than you would guard your own. His ambitions, bls interests and bis policies should become yours. No word of disparagement or careless criticism or mockery should pass your lips. You should be as loyal to him behind his back as you are before his faee. You should boost him and not knock. Be sure that he knows what you say and what you do. His watchful eye is upon you when you least expect his vigilance. But do not be true to him because you suspect his esplon age—rather because it is the "way to honor." —Philadelphia Ledger. MRS. CARLYLE AS A NAGGER Letters Written by Wife of Great Man Reveal Her in a Moat Unfavorable Light. There have been published in Lon don some letters of Mrs. Thomas Carlyle In which the "Carlyle Cat” figures prominently. It is quite clear that the lady nagged the great man about his fluffy pet, was petulant and ridiculous when he fed it —as men who care for animals invariably do —at the dinner table, and insisted that the carpet hi the dining room in Cheyne row was being ruined by the practise. She ad mits that the carpet was old and ugly and not worth having a row with one's husband about; so why, the impartial critic asks, did she do it? Mrs. Carlyle was a brilliant talker and still more wonderful letter writer

and could, had she possessed the means and a sociable husband, have had a real salon in London. As it was celebrities sat at her feet and Leigh Hunt's famous poem, “Jennie Kissed Me,” is proof that she was not simply a blue stocking but highly attractive to men. It Is a pathetic picture this, evoked out of the past of the Sage of Chelsea and his cat and Mrs. Carlyle's savage phrase, “I wish she were dead.’ It ended in the author of “Sartor Re sartus" being deprived of the companionship of his cat at dinner, luncheon or tea —all In the interests of the dining room carpet and of feminine tyranny. Tobacco for Hiccough*. In a Russian medical journal Dr. G. Tatevosoff draws attention to the excellent service which may be obtained from the ordinary snuff tobacco as a means of cutting short hiccoughs. He relates an Instructive case of a patient with some chronic chest disease, accompanied by violent cough attacks, in which the latter used to be followed by extremely obstinate hiccoughs. The common remedies (including cocaine) failing to exercise any con trolling influence on the most distress ing symptoms, Dr. Tatevosoff at last decided to give a trial to the said oldfashioned popular means, making the patient on each occasi<>n thoroughly snuff into his nose a pinchful of the powder until the appearance of lively sneezing. From the first treatment the effect was truly brilliant, the hiccough subsiding as if by magic. Just Suit Him. “What pawt have you—aw—weserved foh me, Miss Coachem?” asked young Sapleigh of the fair manager ol the amateur theatricals. “Why, really, Mr. Sapleigh,” she replied, “I'm afraid I’ve overlooked you, and all the parts have been assigned. Oh, by the way, there is still the part of the heroine’s father. I think that would about fit you.” "The pawt is wealiy of little —aw— consequence, doncher know, just so I'm one of the —aw —actahs,” said Sapleigh. “What am I —aw —supposed to do in the pawt?” “Well,” answered the manageress, "as the heroine is supposed to be an orphan, I'm afraid it wiU be necessary that you Bhould remain dead.” Lobster Killed Cormorant The lobster won in a fight with a cormorant, resulting in the death of the bird, which was seen by crowds at Dollymount, near Dublin. The cormorant dived into the sea and rose with a lobster in its beak. A moment later it descended, flapping its wings, and began striking ite head against a rock. Rising again, it struggled in the air until exhausted, and then dropped dead on the beach. The lobster was found with its claw embedded in the cormorant’s tongue, the bird’s death being due to suffocation.

INDIANA’S STATE CHAIRIMAN"

Tj?

It is to laugh every time one think* of Bernard Korbly, chairman of the democratic state committee. Here is one young man —a* ll ' De is quiet mid modest, too—who has the democracy of this great b and glorious state

guesing. What does he desire in the way of political reward? Nothing, he tells you. And he says it without hesitation right off the hat. But the "faithful” cannot understand Korbly's kind of a politician if he is a politician. That, again, is a counj that he will deny. For he says loudly and plainly that he is a lawyer, an earnest, hardworking young lawyer, who has got to make a living at his profession. He never did want to be a state chairman and only agreed because he is a democrat, first, last and all the time, and believes that it is the part of a good democrat to serve his party when called upon, in whatever capacity is demanded, and at whatever personal inconvenience. At that it required considerable persuasion to induce him to serve the second time. He Insisted that he had done his part. Now most party men work because they want something—in hope of a reward. But “they" cannot give Korbly anything. It has been tried. Proffer of office does not secure the tiniest rise from him. So he has got ’em all guessing; from T. Taggart down. MONKEY FIREMEN COMING To This City With the Gentry Bros. Shows. The only monkey fire department in the world is coming to this city Wednesday, August 26. This unique brigade is one of the features of Gentry Brothers' shows, which institution is the pioneer, and largest trained animal exhibition in the world. The origin of the brigade of Simian firemen is due to a monkey’s habit of imitating human beings. Several years ago a monkey-actor with Gentry Brothers’ shows was allowed the privilege of the winter quarters. One afternoon the fire alarm was sounded. Men hurried here and there, getting the hose lines ready for service. The monkey followed the fire fighters in thir work. The next day he was caught pulling hose from a box in a corner of the menagerie. This action destined him to be the first monkey fire chief in the world. Other monkeys were Impresed. After long rehearsals they learned how, to fight a fire. Now at every performance of Gentry Brothers’ shows these uniformed fire fighters of the jungle are a distinctive feature. They appeal especially to children, but their actions would bring a laugh to the face of a sphinx. Tills season twenty monkey actors are a complement of Gentry Brothers’ shows. For this city only admission is reduced to twenty-five and thirty-five cents’. —— o— PUBLIC SALE.
