Keyorks face assumed all the expression

There was a moments silence. Keyork,

that silent feud, of which ne also knew
tho cause, had existed between father and
! daughter when he had last been with them,
and he rightly judged from his knowledge
Of their obstinate characters that it had
lasted to the end. He thought, therefore,

sufficient and could pass muster.

Winning Over a Juryman.

1t is related of M. Lachaud, the most
famous of French criminal lawyers of
the present century, that in pleading a
certain case he perceived that one of the
Jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument In the faces of all the
other men in the box he saw with his
practiced eyes signs that his oratory or
his shrewdness was having its effect, but
this man, in spite of all he could do, re-
mained frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
M. Lachaud kept on with his work, and
presently saw that his opportunity had
come.
1t was hot day, and a ray of sunlight
had penetrated crevice of the curtain
and was shining upon the top of the head
OF this juryman, who was quite bald.
The lawyer paused in his argument and
addressed himself directly to the court.
eff your honor would please" he said,
''to order that the curtain in yon1er win
dow be lowered trife am sure that
the sixth juryman would appreciate it. ;
This sign of watchful attention won the
obstinate jrryman's heart and M. Lach-
auds case.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Jolly.

There are many people, old and young
as many who are old, perhaps, as
young-who never stop to think of the
words they are using; who, for instance,
never examine their speech to see wheth-
er they are not employing one word over
and over again in such way as to make
their friends weary of it, even if the
word itself has no sense of being over
worked.
The other day an actual conversation
which was much like the following was
heard on the street near public school
house:
Say, Edith, my father gave me the
jolliest sled you ever saw for Christmas. y
'Oh, SO did my uncle give me one!
Mines awfully jolly. 1 tell you! Been
coasting on it?'
"Not yet, but they say there's jolly
coasting down by the Falls"
'Oh, yes. Marian and Henry and the
Williamses and all of us went down yes
terday afternoon, and it's just the jolllest
place, and here come Eleanor and Dick,
and let's all go now! Well have just the
jolliest"--
"Oh, well, but if my mother don't
know I'm going she'll be jolly angry
about it,"
swell, guess we'll go; but if you'd
come too it would be lots jollier."
The young people disappeared, still
talking, and how mauy times they used
the word ''jolly" before they separated
it would be useless to try to conjecture.
