As Wise as Solomon.

Recorder Prices court at Fresno.
Cal, was the scene recently of an eff
fecting incident in the trial of Duliss
Chrisman for assault on his brother
. William. The brothers had quarreled
over Williams desertion of his wife.
William claimed he wasn't married to
the woman, although he had had two
children by her, because she was d.
vorced, and they were both catholics.
He testified that she kept disorderly
house in San Francisco, and wasn't a
tit custodian for her children. The
woman wept and eagerly besought the
Judge not to believe his statements,
saying: II have raised my children as
they should be brought up"
"Well," said his honor. ''I'll test it.
madame" and he turned to the little
girl, not more than three years old,
who was clinging TO her mother, and
said: You say your prayers. "
Then ensued most touching scene.
The little girl climbed from her chair,
knelt on the floor with policeman,
Judge, and her father and mother
around her, and folding her tiny hands
and lifting her eyes to heaven she
made the grandest defense of a moth
er's word possible. Slowly, but dis
tinctly, this child. born with the stain
of shame upon her, and discarded by
her father, lIsped in childish accents
the Lords Prayer. As she proceeded,
utterly oblivious of her surroundings,
rough men who had not heard prayer
for years bowed their heads al ! many
wept. Then the childish voice ended
with God bless papa. mama and Un-
Gle Duliss. Amen"
The case was settled. and had Will
liam Chrisman sworn to a thousand
oaths that his wife was bad he would
have been disbelieved. 1t was several
minutes before anyone spoke, and then
tine recorder fined the two brothers $l5
each and dismissed court.
