Lincoln as an Advocate.

Lincoln was, upon the whole, the
strongest jury lawyer in tue State lie
had the ability to perceive with almost
intuitiSo quickneSs the decisive point in
the case. In the examination and cross
examination of a witness be had no
equal. He could compel witness to
tell the truth when he meant to lie, a1d
ifaa witness lied he rarely escaped ex-
posure under Lincolns cross examina-
ton. He could always make jury
laugh, and often weep, at his pleasure.
His legal arguments addressed 10 the
judges we're always clear, vigorous and
logical, seeking to convince rather by
tie application Of principle than by the
citation Of cases. 4 stranger going
into court when he was trying a case
would, aftc. few moments, find him
self on Lincoln's side, and wishing hin
success. He seemed to magnetic every.
one. He was straightforward, so d.
rect, SO candid, that every spectator wa
impressed with the idea that he wal
seeking only truth and justice He ex
celled in the statement of his case. -
However complicated, he would Olsen.
tangle it, and present the real issue il
so simple and clear way that all coul,
understand Indeed his statement Of
ten rendered argument unnecessary, anc
frequently the court would stop him an,
say, IF this is the case, Brother Lin
coin, we will hear the other side hi
illustrations were often quaint and home
ly, but always apt and clear, and Oftel
decisive. He always met bis opponent:

Celestial Death Missiles.

Considering the number of meteoric
stones which reach the earth's surface,
it would not be surprising if many lives
had been destroyed by them. 1t is
stated that loss of life resulted from a
large fall in Africa; that about the year
1920 many persons and animals were
killed: that in 1911. about FIVE one eve
ming, a priest was struck and killed and
that, still later. in 1850, monk was
Lillea But these according to Mr..
lanes R. Gregory, seem to be the only
instances recorded of death from falling
