AN incident is related in connection with
the Graves murder trial. at Denver. which
should be q lesson to lawyers. One of the
counsel for the defense was delivering the
closing argument He had attacked the
prosecuting witness with tedious sarcasm,
had exhausted his vituperation on the
Pinkerton agency, and was in the full tide
of Scriptural quotations. camp-meeting
stories. incidents Of Southern life, etc. In
short. he was making what he doubtless
thought "a great speech" The account
says:
While in the full sweep of his eloquence. with
his magnificent voice ringing through the court
people TO jump to their feet, and he jumped for
ward to juror Boring, saying in low tones: Are
you sick, or would you like air or water!' Bor-
ing began TO say that he had a headache, when
juror sterling interrupted him and said sharply:
"Mr. Furman, We have listened TO stories at the
hotel for several weeks, and We now wish to
hear about the law and the evidence"
The effect was startling. The eloquent
advocate colored MP, buzz of surprise ran
through the courtroom, and an awkward
pause ensued until the presiding judge said
it was high time for the trial to be coming
to close. and told counsel they must cut
their speeches short. No doubt many a
tired jury has been Disguised by that kind
of oratorical display.

The Aurora and Vienna need a skilled

A Helpful virginia Girl.

In the family of George Munday,
living between Waterford and Wheat
land, the father, mother, a son and
daughter were all down with the grip.
leaving only the youngest daughter,
Florence, about eighteen years of age,
to aid the rest! She attended to the
household duties and the sick, and for
two or three days fed and curried six
horses, fed and MIXED six cows and also
walked through the snow about a quarter
of a mile carrying corn, and when she
reached them, feeding it, with straw and
fodder, to thirty head of cattle. Having
to go to n neighbor to send for a doctor
for one of her sick, their condition was
discovered. and of course there was

pluck and perseverance that she showed at
this crisis were worthy of an American
girl. She besieged managers in search of
an engagement for a long time without
success. But she didn't propose to let a
little thing like that discourage her. II
she couldn't get what she wanted she
would take what she could get. So she
applied for and obtained n place in the
chorus at the Savoy theater, London,
where Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas
were produced.
In being willing to be humble when she
couldn't be proud she laid the foundation
of her present big success, for in a very
short time her work in that chorus did
what her persistent haunting of managers
dens had failed to do. 1t won for her a
small part in one of the operas. She had
done her level best in the chorus, and she
did her level best in the small part. That
best was so good that she was given a large
part in a little while, and then, almost be-
fore she knew it, she was sent to America
as the prima donna of one of the Gilbert
and Sullivan opera companies. When that
or, was withdrawn she was sent over
v another and another until she had
sung the leading roles of nearly all of those
talented gentlemen's operas in Yankee
land. She sang them we'll, too, and made
many friends here. Between times she
went to Germany and sang in German,
and to France and sang in French.
Mr.. Gilbert was much impressed by her
vocal powers, and thought. too, that she
could act If she had IA chance-so when he
conceived the part of Nita, which calls
more for acting than for singing, he at
once offered it to Miss Jenoure. She ac-
copied the offer and has made the hit Of
her life.
1t is a very strange part, and among other
things requires Miss Jenoure to play the
role of a Observation-Disclosures machine.
In the course of the operas fun the char
acters drink a magic draft which at
once transforms them into what they are
pretending to be. Miss Jenoure is pre-
tending to be a waxwork figure Of OpheliG,
and the result is almost painfully funny.
Her makeup. her walk and her voice are
precisely what might be expected of an au-
tomato doll, and her audiences are conse-
quently happy and approving. 1t may be
unnecessary to add that she is happy too.

The woman inventor who desires fame

full countrywomen as well, should set
her wits to work in devising some sim
pie and portable continuance that would
be to the woman's skirt what the mans
trousers stretcher is to the mans gar

necessity the wearer feels of occasionally
sitting down, will get baggy at the

this invention aver materializes, it is safe

A writer some time ago called atten-
ton to the fact that many women are
doing and have done sustained and bril-
liant mental work at ages ranging from
sixty to seventy, a few exceptional cases
being noted ever above threescore and
ten. This conclusion is even more note
worthy when applied to endowments di-
rectly dependent upon physical condi-
tons, but a case illustrative of this
phase is hat of Mrs. Emma Bostwick,
the singer, whose voice today, at the age
of seventy-seven, is clear and full, with
no suspicion of cracked or tinny quail
ties. When she was sixty Mrs. BostwicE
received 81 1000 a year singing in a
church choir in Chicago. She still sings
daily. and has no idea of giving up until
she sees some reason not yet manifest
for doing 30. Mrs. Bostwick ascribes the
preservation of her voice to continuous
practice. Careful but constant use she
thinks the best method to pursue with
the gift of song.-Her Point of View II

Virginia Women Moving.
The question in Virginia whether
ONE shall enter the leading profes.
sions is becoming an interesting one.
For the last two years the matter of the
sex being licensed to practice law here
has been widely discussed. This agita-
ton has been augmented by WI bills
now pending in the Virginia legislature.
One of these was intended to permit
women to practice law, a right now de
MED them under the construction of the
state statutes.
Mrs. Annie l.. Smith, of North Dan.
vile, a native of Ohio, is the champion
Of this latter measure. She has scored a
victory by securing the Endorsement OF
the senate committee for courts of jus.
tice to her bill. She did this by appear.
ing before that committee and making a
personal appeal to them.
The senate recently defeated by an
overwhelming majority a measure
which had been pending in that body
for several days making it compulsory
to appoint women physicians in the
women's wards of the asylums in yir.
ginia. This bill some time g passed
the lower house by a practically unani.
nous vote. When it came to the senate
it met with considerable opposition, to
overcome which many society women OF
this city and other sections of the state
united their efforts. The most earnest
appeals were made and eloquent ad.
dresses directed to senators. with the
view of making a favorable impression
in behalf of the measure. 1t was, how.
ever, in vain.
The argument of those who opposed
the bill was that Virginia is o yet
ready to obliterate the old landmarks OF
conservatism and place women in those
positions which nave heretofore been en-
tirely confided to the male members OF
the medical profession. The ladies, how.
ever. are determined that the change
shall be made in the neal future.-Rich.
