That little bullet-headed tough oyer there

the same stuff in him that held Grant be-
fore Vicksburg and Petersburg; the same
spirit with which Custar swept down to
death along the Indian line; the imperial
courage that carried Pickett into the last
desperate charge at Gettysburg, or that

choker and straight breasted coat looking
like divinity student, and the other with
a broad-brimmed hat and homespun suit
with signs of haYseed all over him. The
attendance has been immense.
The meshes tighten about Frank Eames
who, by psrjured witnesses, sought the
ruin OF his wife. His witnesses haye con-

| The advocates of the doctrine Of total de-
pravity have here a most striking illustra-
ton in support Of their theory. For pure
unmixsd devilish wickedness, history OF
fiction furnishes few parallels.
