MADE DIFFERENCE.
A Legal Technicality Settled by an
Ohio Witness.


Ohio Witness.
The following story is told by Sena-
tor Henderson of Nebraska, of pecul.
lar cross examination of quack. 4
number of years ago Mr.. McSweeny
was one OF the most celebrated crimi-
nal lawyers in the state of Ohio. He
was noted for his eloquence and his
adroitness. He was tall with broad,
large figure; his large, smooth face was
set off by mass OF curling reddish
sandy hair He dressed in q rich and
expensive manner and always wore
around his neck, twisted in and out of
the folds OF a ruilled shirt front, q huge
gold watch chain. He had a quiet way
in examining witnesses. He sought
to never alarm the witness he desired
to entrap. Once he was defending q
man charged with having committed
murder. The man had stabbed an
other. The wound was a slight one
and Mr.. insolvency was able to show
that the wounded man had been treat
ed badly and that he died from the re-
suit OF the treatment rather than of
the original wound.
He first showed by the testimony of
the alleged physician that he had put
plaster over the stab This was the
first of the malpractice. McSweeny
brought out all OF this in the gentlest
way as if he had admired the method
OF treatinga wound by covering it with
q plaster, as the witness said it had
been done Is this particular case. Nc
Sweeney examined him with the most
respectful Difference, but still the Jury
was country jury and insolvency
was not satisfied that he had shown
fully to their comprehension the full
depth OF the ignorance of the witness.
Toward the close of the examination
he stepped back and picked up an old
book. He pretended that it was
medical book. 81 suppose" said Nc
Sweeney, "that you are familiar with
this work, 'Bushey on Surgery'?"
Perfectly" said the witness.
"You agree in the main with all the
principles laid down by this distin-
guished authority"
Absolutely" said the witness.
"Ihen l need hardly ask" SAID Mr..
McSweeney, chat you agree with the
great authority upon the little impor-
lance OF whether post-mortem ex-
animation is held before or after the
death of a patient?"
mot the slightest Importance" said
the witness.
'"That is ALL" said Mr.. McSweeney,
as he bowed graciously to the witness
and turned to the jury for the acquit-
tai which was promptly given him.

BANK NOTE FACTS.
Points on the Manner of Detecting
Counterfeit Paper,

o''o on tne wi amer OF Detecting
Counterfeit Paper.
Let me give you few points on
the best way to detect counterfeit
note" says an authority on the sub
Ject in the Boston Transcript. eek
perts don't Judge so much by the ap-
pearance OF the bill as they do by it's
'ieel; that is, by the way it slips
through the fingers, but it takes wears
OF experience to acquire the necessary
line touch and evan then it is not al
ways reliable. Every Dill is lettered
and numbered, and there is a connec-
ton between the numbers and the let
ters which is made in such a way that
when you know about it you can tell
genuine bill almost at glance.
What are known as the character let
tiers OF bill are placed on either side
OF the central figure or vignette, and
are A, b, c, and d only. The letters
stamped in colors before and after the
numbers have nothing to do with
the case so far as detecting
counterfeit goes, but those
engraved on the bill in the places men,
toned are rightly named char
acter letters, since they serve, in
connection with the numbers, to show
II the bill is genuine Now suppose
you have bill numbered 12922S26.
The character letter on such n hill
should be b. Why? If you take the
last two figures, which are 20, and di-
vide them by 5, you will have a re-
mainder of 2. Now b is the second
letter of the alphabet, and the remain
der after dividing the last two figures
by A must III every case be that rep
resented by the numerical position of
the first four letters of the alphabet
Ihat is, when one is left over the char
acter letter should be C, and when
there is no remainder the letter should
be ID. When this rule fails to work on
any bill you come across you can bet
as many more as you can raise that
the bill Is counterfeit. It's rather
strange, but it's still another fact that
the counterfeiters have not caught on
TO this little scheme of Uncle Sans
currency sharps, and that they Sian
IN their letter, and numbers without
any regard to the relation that ought
TO be between them.

A Goat Engaged In Nocturnal
Prowl Smashed a Romance to
Pieces.
Not long ago a young lady who de-
sired to get up with the lark, in order
to go on an clipping tour, adopted the
schoolboy's plan, and the lover was
to be on hand at daybreak to give the
signal.
The string used for the pedal com.
munlcatlon was a stout cord. and one
end was dropped out of the third story
window into the back yard, and the
other end of course, was attached to
the damsel's great toe. The legend
runs that a healthy goat of the will
IAN persuasion arose early the next
morning and wandered into the ward
After eating up all the old sar-
dine tins, barrel slaves and broken
crockery, he found the string. and
took that in as desert As soon as
the string was drawn taut the goat
stood upon his hind legs and gave an
impulsive jerk. The girl awoke. The
goat gave another sudden pull, and
the maiden jumped out of bed with a
smothered cry of pain. Then she
stopped down to detach the cord lust
as the ridiculous beast gave another
violent jerk, and she nearly lost her
equilibrium, and her toe, too, thecor
cutting into the tender flesh.
She sprang o the window and called
down III hoarse whisper
stop pulling, Harry; III be down
in a minute"
Then she made another effort toun-
tie the cord, but the persistent goat
gave his head several angry hobs and
each time the girl uttered a crv OF
pam. Again she called into the dark.
