During the trial of William Lynn in Judge
Murphy's department yesterday, for rob-

worth $50, a novel incident occurred.
While arguing for the defense, Lawyer

the jury-box
Mr.. Coffey," shouted Judge Murphy,

Your Honor" whined Coffey, "why
should do that?"
" For very good and sufficient reason, I"
responded Judge Murphy, with a peculiar
expression. That child has not yet been
offered in evidence, and consequently you
have no right to use it as an exhibit in the
case"

Strange Facts About Accidents.

The collection Of large groups of facts
about accidents which has been made
necessary by the development of acct
dent insurance has made a contribution
to one department of social science that
ls by no means uninteresting. For in
stance. it is curious fact that a man is
much more likely to lose his left hand
than his right hand. or his left eye than
his right eye: statistics show. too. that
when man insures himself against &C.
cidents he thereby greatly di1ninishes
the risk Of accident-and this is probably
explained in this way: When man at
tention is called to danger he fixes his
mind on it, and thereby consciously or
unconsciously makes unusual effort to
avert it. 1t therefore happens that a
man is more likely to be victim of an
accident of kind that he never thought
of than of the kind against which he in
sures himself
A man, for instance, who handles
sharp tools will insure himself against
an accident from the use of them, and
the first thing he knows he will be draw
ing pay from an insurance company for
an injury done by getting cinder in his
eye.-Forum.

Finely Bred Horses Are Nervous.

Finely bred. intelligent horses are
often very nervous. They are quick to
notice, quick to take alarm. quick to do
what seems to them, in moments of sud
den terror, necessary to escape from pos
slble harm, from something they do not
understand. That is what makes them
shy, bolt and run away. We cannot
tell what awful suggestions strange
things offer to their minds. For aught
we can tell. a sheet Of white paper in
the road may seem to the nervous horse
yawning chasm the open front of a
baby carriage. the jaws of a dragon
ready to devOur him, and a man on a
bicycle some terrifying sort of flying
devil without wings. But we find that
the moment he becomes familiar with
those things. or any other that alright
him. and knows what they are, he grows
Indifferent to them.
Therefore, when your horse SHES al
anything make him acquainted with it
let him smell it. touch it with his sensi
tive upper lip and look closely at it, Re
member, too, that You must familiarize
both sides Of him with the dreaded oh
lect. If he only examines it with the
near nostril and ey" he will be very likely
to scare ut 1t when 1t appears on his off
side. SO. then, rattle your paper, beat
your bass drum. fiutter your umbrella
run your baby carriage and your bicycle
fire your pistol and rattle your tinware
on both sides of him and all around him
until he comes to regard the noise sim
ply as a nuisance and material objects
only as trivial things liable to get hurt if
they are in his way. He may not learn
all that in one lesson, but continue the
lesson, and you will cure all his nervous
ness.-Exchange
