There is an ugly situation for Thomas
Howell 10 explain, and he explains 1t
hls way. There rs an ugly explanation
for the prosecution OF Howell to be un-
reasonable. Police and Court predicts
that the case will tie up twelve men
into a very har,i knot.
Here is the case: On the night of
November II, the store of Cornelius
Fox was burglarized, and crock Of
butter and about "A were taken. On
that same night q policeman cartured
Thomas Howell with the butter in his
possession. This is the evidence
Tor the people. But Howell him
self takes the stand and says that
on that night he and one Frank Horton
got TO drinking, and they both ex-
hausted their pecunIary resources.
When the COwallttee on Ways aud
Means had nothing more TO suggest,
Horton told Howell he had a scheme,
and hauled from under the sidewalk
the crock of butter, and asked Howell
TO go and sell it. IL was when he was
fulfilling TINS mission that he was ar
rested. This IS substantially all the
evidence in the case on both sides. Now
who but the stubborn juror will say
that Howell is not entitled 10 the doubt
which HOwelPs story raises The
stenocrapher Will read the testimony
this afternoon, and then the court will
decide whether or not Howell ought TO
be held on the test mony.

A Congressman's Successful, Book.

Recently a committee of New York
publishers went to Washington wish a
view of urging Congress to pass a GER
tain international copyright law favcr-
ed by the publishers. A subcommittee
of publishers was holding u meeting at
the Rigs House when Il member of
Congress from the West called upon
them. He said to them thai he had his
OWL vote and could influence the votes
of four or five friends, but he declared
that he would moi do anything for
them unless they promised TO do some
thing for him. When they asked what
he wanted, he said he had written Il
book and had tried to get every pub
Usher in New York to publish it, and
none of them would do SO because the
book was pronounced unsuitable for
the market. Now, if they would agree
to find a publisher for his book in New
York he would agree to give his own
and several other votes for the inter
national copyright bill.
The committee told him to call upon
them the next day, and when he had
gone they discussed his proposition.
On inquiry it was found that he could
control four votes, and that was too
many to lose. So the publishers had a
meeting. and they finally decided to
draw lots to sec who would publish his
book and stand the loss. The lot was
drawn. and one of the greatest pub
fishing houses in the world was the
victim. Its representative received the
condolences of his fellow publishers,
but the house carried out its part of the
bargain in good faith and published
the book, and now they have the laugh
with them, for. contrary to the expecta-
ton Of the publishers, the book made
money from the start, and has turned
GU quite n profitable venture for the
house. This is another illustration of
the truth that no II can tell whether
a book or a play will make a hit until
the experiment has been tricd.-Phiia-
deiphia Press.

ehimerical reason, ! should have fell. quite

was wanting. Now, could j have selected a
wife for my friend, l would have chosen one
with habits and constitution entirely different
from his own. She should have been a
bright, bustling woman, with lots of energy
and common sense-one who would have

their mental resemblance. One evening.
Carliston, Madeline, and | were sitting out
of doors, watching the gray mist deepening
in the valley at our feet. Two of the party
were, of course, hand in hand, the third seat
ed at a discreet distance--not 80 far away AS
to preclude conversation, but far enough off
to be able to pretend that he saw and heard
only what was intended for his eyes and
ears.
How certain topics, which | would have
avoided discussing with CarTiston, were
started | hardly remember. Probably some
strange tale had been passed down from
wilder and even more solitary regions thar
o"rs-some ridiculous tale of Highland super.
stition, no doubt embellishcd and augmented
by each one who repeated it to his fellows.
From her awed talk l soon found that Made
line Rowan, perhaps by reason of the Scotch
blood in her veins, was as firm a believer in
things visionary and beyond nature as cvel
Charles Carris!on in his silliest moments
could be. As soon as could ! stopped tho
talk, and the next day, finding the girl for q
few minutes alone, told her plainly that sub
jects of this kind should be kept as far as
possible from her future husbands thoughts
She promised obedience, with dreamy eyes
which looked as far away and full Of vision
as Carriston's.
