He Won the Case,

MI. hlcSWeeny was thorough student
OF human nature and master of the ART
OF observation. Nothing escaped his
notice. While engaged uDon a case he
watched the jury as a cat watches a
mouse, and frequently ast0nished his
clients by ending his arguments very
abruptly and submitting the matter to
the Jury.
i've known many case to be talked
to death after it had been won. " he said
What is the use of wasting time and
breath after the jury is converted to your
way OF thinking? | believe I can tell
when L have my jury well in hand. At
that point l stop, no matter in what
shape 1t leaves my speech. I take it that
client employs a lawyer to win lis
case, and not to display his rhetorical or
oratorical abilities' -
The popularity Of the great criminal
lawyer was well own at murder trial
III San francisco few years ago. Mr.
McSWeeny appeared for the defendant.
The State apparently had made out a
very clear case against the prisoner.
when Mr.. McSweeny arose to make his
address to the jury he carefully avoided
any reference to the facts set forth in the
evidence Or the laws governing them.
lie pointed out the terrible responsibility
resting upon the II men who were sitting
IN Judgment upon the l<fe of one Of his
fellow citizens. He added that the ver-
dict Of guilty would not fall heaviest
upon the prisoner, but upon his family.
lie asked the jury to think for mOment
OF the effect IF an adverse verdict upon
the wife and little ones of the prisoner.
Then the speaker drew a word picture
which was marvel Of artistic rhetorical
work. He brought before the ewes of
the Jurymen the home of the accused
man. He showed the patient and loving
wife leaving her work to cast many an
glance down the road to see if
her husband was yet in sight, eager to be
the first to catch glimpse of his figure /!
In the distance that a steanirg supper |
might await him upon his arrival. He |
pictured three ruddy faced little children |
swinging upon the old gate, waiting till |
papa should come home to them again.
AT this point the lawyer noticed that
one Of the jurymen-a bluff old ives terner
had considerable difficulty in swallow
ng large lump which cnoked him and
hat there was a suspicious moisture in
lis eye.
The speaker paused. Turning toward
hat juror he held out both hands as a
title child might have done to its father
md said in tone that was scarcely audi
Die: Gentlemen, you must send him
lome to them" Shifting uneasily in his
eat the juror blurted out: "Yes, by -
veil do it, too. -"
McSweeny instantly sat down. The
ase was won. His client was acquitted.
'ut the most interesting point in this
ase. perhaps, was the fact which the
awyer afterward learned - that the
risoner at the bar was an unmarried
1an. .

Where Noble Dog Was Found Guarding
a Poor Drunken wretch.

Where Noble Dog Was Found Guarding
Poor Drunken Wretch.
Handsome? OH | don't know. think
! belong to the class of people who fail
to see much beauty in dogs Perhaps
the old saying, familiar to my child
hood, fits them: Handsome is that
handsome does" The St. Bernards GER
taiuly seem to belong to a more Gull
tured, might almost say human type,
than does the average dog.
Only few weeks ago | was reading
in one of our great religious weelxlies a
true story about St Bernard. which
went to my heart as dog stories rarely
do. 1t seems that gentleman living
in New York has recently brought
home with him from his trip abroad,
great noble specimen of these dogs He
is very valuable, and was carefully
watched lest some evil and envious
wretch might entice him away. One
evening it was discovered, that his dog
ship was not at home He had gone
out with his master early in the after
noon, but had not returned, though the
gentleman had. lie started at once in
posed to have been long enough in the
city to take care of himself Getting
out of an uptown street ear the gen
tleman met friend to whom he told
his trouble.
We'll, sir, " said the gentleman, Your
dog or some other IS up near one OF the
Central park gates, and is in trouble; !
heard one making a very peculiar moan
ing noise As | came past there few
minutes ago. Both men walked swift
iy in that direction. and presently the
distinct baying IF dog could be heard.
THAT is my dog said his master, in
an excited tone and he thinks some
one is lost. That is the peculiar bay
which dogs of his breed give when a
traveller is lost on the mountains in the
snow. He has been used, in his own
country, to that work by this time
the park gate was reached. and sure
enough, quite near it, lying fiat on the
ground was a lost man!-in, other
words a poor drunken wretch who
had atumbled from the seat where
he had been browsing. Near
him, on guard stood the faith
full st. BERNARD, giving at inter
walls his peculiar signal of distress
The writer said it would not be possible
to describe the JOY with which the dog
welcomed his master, who, he believed,
had come to the relief of the lost.
When a great wagon, which came at
policeman's call, hustled the poor
drunkard to the lookup the dog leaped
upon the shoulders Of his master and
almost put his delight into words He
believed that the man had been saved.

man who patented the process for etch-
ing the name studied upon ii for a long
time. He is by birth German. and he
found in Germany some such process,
but it was clumsy and slow. That
would not do for an Americanized Ger
man, and he kept experimenting and
trying until he found just the right way
to do it and to do it quickly BY his
process a girl, with another girl to hand
her the pieces and set them away again,

a week. TO his concave stamping block
he applies a chemical The chimney is
pressed against the block and comes
away bearing the stamp. After this
