Die murder. The boys testimony
could not be taken on account of his
condition, but the girl, who is twelve
years old, told the story of the crime in
pretty simple, childish way that pro
duced more visible effect on the Jury
than any of the preceding testimony.
"Papa began beating Lottie on Mon
day morning she said, "because she
was disobedient He first hit her with
the strap, then the rope, then the
broomstick and then the shovel Then
he made her go up stairs on her knees.
When she couldn't climb above the
first story he ran up after her and
struck her and made her go on up.
Then she lay on the bed and moaned
this way and the little witness imi-
itated the cries of person in pain
with startling accuracy. .....l. ..
"He called her," she went on, "when
it was dinner time, but she di Int come,
and then he called her again at supper
time. She didn't come again aud he
went up stairs and whipped her around
the hallway. Then he picked her up
and threw her on the bed and struck
her on both sides of the face When
she moaned he beat her again and
when she wouldn't stop, because she
couldn't | guess, he threw the clothes
over her and lay down on her. Then
she stopped crying aud lay very quiet,
and he sent me for the doctor"
During the recital of the murder she
begged several times to see her dead
sister. She expressed much love for
her mother and great adherence OF
her step father. When the child wa,
dismissed the jury arrived at verdic,

Of imparfine wisdom to bis pupils; II
many of his pupils are like the one
described ID the following dialogue.
The boy found il difficult to UNDER
stand simple arithmetic:

put another stocking on the other
foot
Fritz-"I never wear no stock
ings
Teacher Suppose your father has
one pig ia . pen and be buys another
pig, and puts il in the pen, how many
pigs will there be il the penln
Fritz dad don't keep no pigsa'
The teacher blew q heavy Sigh
from bis tired lips. wiped the perspira-
ton from bis scholastic brow, and
went at Ii again with renewed cour-
age.
sSuppose, Fritz you have one jack
ct, and at Christmas your father
makes you q present OF another jack

Fritz-"He ain't that kind Of q
father. He never give me nothin' for
Christmas"
"Suppose your mother gives you
one apple, aud you have one already,
what will yon have then ?n
Fritz-"S "Stomachache. Our apples
are cookin' apples.
The teacher was not the man to be
discouraged By tribes. He began TO
suspect that Fritz was not well up
in arithmetic, but he resolved to make
one more effort, SO be said:
Fritz, ifa poor little beggar boy
has cake. and you give him one
more cake, how many will he have9"
''Fritz-"I dunno, eat my own
cakes /"
Then the teacher told the children
to 60 out and play. -Siftings.
