EXAMINING A WITNESS.
How General Butler Discredited the Tes
timony Of a Conductor.

How General Butler Discredited the Tes-
timony Of a Conductor.
General Butler as counsel for the
plaintiff in a damage case against
one Of the Boston street railway
companies, some years since, turned a
point in his clients favor and won his
case by an adroit and original move.
The accident in question had taken
place in a crowded street, and the
testimony was contradictory and
confusing. The conductor of the car,
ON the witness stand, swore point
blank against the plaintiff. His evil
dence was concise, and he claimed to
have seen all the occurrences of the
affair and described them minutely,
disputing the generals client at every
turn. 1t was manifest that il the
conductor told the truth the plaintiff
had no case.
The general took up the cross ex-
animation, but the witness stuck 10
his story.
What is that2" said the general,
pointing to the bell punch suspended
from the witness neck.
BELL punch" was the answer.
"And what is bell punch7" inno-
Gently inquired the lawyer. And
then followed a lengthy explanation
of how the machine rang the bell to
attract the passengers attention that
the amount was being recorded by
the machinery ON the inside. The
why's and wherefores, the necessity
for the thing and the company's
rules were gone into until the court
was well nigh out of patience and
the jury were plainly wearying.
"And what do you do if mistake
is made and you come out short when
you and the machine are at vari-
ance2' was the generals query.
''They make US pay the differ
ence," was the answer.
Wont they take your word for it'"
mo"
We'll, if they won't take your
word for a nickel they needn't ex-
pect this jury to believe you," said
the general, and they didn't, for they
gave the plaintiff a substantial YER
dict"
/ would not have my readers think
the general intended any slur upon
street car conductors, who are as
honest and honorable as the rest of
us. The general had way of get
ting there" no matter who was hit.

A TRIBUTE 10 THE HOG.

A whole lot Of people IN this world
need 10 learn what 1t Is to live and lei
live. The hog, the ciDcher, the mo-
Dopolst In business, Ia the professions
In politics, is intensely selfish, but be
does not even live. He dwindles away
10 bis own estimation and gradually
grows emaller aud smaller In the com
prehension Of others until he actually
ceases to exist long before he perlshes
from earth.
His whole life is one grasping selfish
dream Of ambition. He never parts
with dollar generously for any pur
pose. Church subscription papers seek
him In vain, the poor desplse him. the
rich cultivate him only for his wealth.
What charm has such life before 1t OF
after 1t, and truly II IL not worth living
at all.
The hog IN human form not only
does no good on earth to himself oI
others, but he Is always ready TO do b

Jury. Like Shylock. who hated An
tonic because he loaned his money 10 b

the man Of generous impulses becaus
he is liberal and willing another should
have chance TO live.
The hog Is always willing by insidu-
Gus slander to blacken the character OF
those who will not wallow In his pool
Of selfish propensities. He objects 10
all progress. crlticlses every manifesto
tiop Of public enterprise by individual,
community, state or nation, hates the
successful man Ia business, politics OF
profession aud ruins the happiness Of
mankind. The hog never smiles ex'
cept as cynic' never laughs except al
misfortune, never jokes or takes o
drink except at some others expense.
His Vices are secret, his character is q
fraud and his morals whited sepul-
chre hiding the grinning skeletons Of
decsyed uprightness, manllness and
humanity.
There are people who believe there

school when observance Of good con-
duct cannot be secured without admin
istering severe corporal punishment.
The Pedagogue can safely predict that
within few years the whipping and
beating by teachers will have been laid
aside. Usually boys who cannot be
controlled without this treatment are
used to nothing else at home. II they
will not respond to other influences
they forfeit their rights In the school
and should suffer the loss Of it's privil-
eyes. The public school is free to all
our people, but when mean, immoral
good-for-nothing child cannot be lifted
above that plane Of life after patience
and kindly influence has been used the
communicating influence of that child
should be at once removed and the
rights Of the remaining pupils demand
IL.
As the years go on and case after Gaze
comes up like the above mentioned
the public mind sees more clearly the
true position Of corporal punishment
and the teacher may rejoice. Good
will and love cannot be pounded into
the human heart. Better TO ruin the
cbild's chances for education than to
ruin dozens Of others by his influence.

FiclIenes.. Thy Name Is Maine Girl,

The other day a Lewiston young
lady made an agreement with one of
her admirers to go out walking that
evening. Later she met another,
whom she invited to call that same
evening. She had forgotten the first.
Then when third one of her beaux
made his appearance she agreed to
go walking with him. In the even
ing the first young man came for
her. She went, and soon the second
arrived, and being told that she was
out he said he would 60 and meet
her.
When she saw him coming, she re-
membered her engagement, excused
herself from the first young man
and walked with the second. They
came to confectionery store, and
she remained outside while he went
in after chocolates. The third young
man came along while she waited,
and she graciously promenaded off
with him. Now she says she will be
more careful Of her appointments. -

Pine Trees on Volcanoes,

be interested in the result of Profess

mantle of pine forest, which clings
to their sides up to a height of nearly
80 miles.
