now give way TO the Frenchman. In
Paris, few weeks ago, a rich Hungarian
countess condescendei 10 BE present at a
performance in summer theatre, she
having learned that princess also would
grace II with her presence. The countess

countess was visited suddenly by fellow
in gorgeous livery, who said, In the finest
Hungarian, that his mistress, the princess,
begged the lean of enc OF her rings for
few moments. The ring was handed to
the flunky, who pocketed il and fed. La
ter In the evening the countess, having
met the princess, learned that her precious
diamond was gone. There was an excit
ing hullaballoo, but the loser before she
retired received assurance from the police
that the Jewel could be recovered. There
fore she was not surprised 10 be aroused
on the following morning by a messenger
from the pelice headquarters saying that
the thief had been canght, but adding
that, in order to establish ownershlp' she
ought to forward the companion ring for

complied. An hour sftsrward she learned
that the supposed police message was
bogus. She had lost both rings.

GuIteau's Case" says the Baltimore
American, Is pamphlet edited by
Charles E. Grinnell, Of the American
Law Review, and recently forwarded
to this office. 1t is, as its title sug-
gests, a summary OF all the technical
deiences by which criminals often es-
cape the stroke of Justice, and edit
Ell with a special eve to the points
IN Gulteau's case. 1t begins with
the challenge 10 jurors and all the
possible ways OF raising objections
that would be fatal to verdict Of
guilty, If rendered. "Inaaint7 asa
defense is tnen passed in review.
The Jurisdiction in Guiteaus Case"
is carefully discussed by j. II. Rob
inson aud BY RObs-t I. Smith, and
there Is treatise On the disqualif-
cation OF jurors by reason Of opinion
formed, Sc, and the force and effect
OF Confessions" The pamphlet az
whole is clear aud lawyer.like, and
will be useful, perhaps, in the prep
aratiou of the briefs. Yet 30 far as
1T is addressed to general readers"
as distinguished from lawyers, the
pamphlet produces feeling Of irri-
tation. lt ls difficult to dyest the

Had Such Pretty Ways with Her.

"she had such petty ways with
her." That was the reason an honest,
hardworking man gave for marrying
a girl of whom he knew little else,
but who was really professional
bigamist, travelling about the country
and marrying husband as a matter
of speculation.
It is the pretty ways" of women
which has ruined many a man of
ever age, including the greatest Of
Generals, statesmen and philosoph-
ers.
If the "pretty ways" come from the
heart it is all right. If they are the
result of cold, selfish, calculating art
woe is to him who falls their victim.
Nothing is truer than that women
are both better and worse than men.
A man could hardly be SO bad as a
woman is when she puts on the pref
tiest ways Of her sex for mischief.
