CD That the verdict is contrary to the evil denee: @ that the verdict is not supported by sufficient evidence; (3) that the jury was not a fair and impartial one because one juror, w. :.

THE MOTION REFUSED.

The motion was argued pro and con by all the attorneys in the case. Gray and Chapman were called to the stand and testified that they were not posi- tive that Bratton made the statement, but they believed he was the man. The court overruled the motion, after which Attorney Martin requested a suspension of sentence in order to ena- ble Allis to testify in certain civil cases wherein the bank is defendant This request was also refused, and the prisoner was told to stand up.

Good Things In a Pam phIet.

There lived many years ago in Ireland
a barrister of the name of Bethel, who
was rather proud of his attainments and
who liked to show them off in the writ
ing of pamphlets. One of these, said by
those who have seen it to be anything
but valuable, was upon the subject of
the union between Ireland and England.
Meeting a witty acquaintance some
days after the publication of his PAM
phlet, Bethel was asked by him why he
had not informed him of its appearance.
Il wonder you didn't tell me you'd
written it, Bethel" said the witty ac-
quaintance. Il never saw it until yes
terday, and only then by the merest &C
cident.'
well, how did you like it?' asked
Bethel, who was fond of praise and was
anxious to hear what was forthcoming
to crafty his vanity.
"How did like it?'' repeated the other.
"Why, it contained some of the best
things ever saw in a pamphlet on any
subject"
Il am very proud to have you say So"
said Bethel. very proud indeed. And
-ah-what were the things that pleased
you so much!'
"Mince pies" said the other.
"What?" cried Bethel, his face turning
purple.
"Mince pies" repeated the other. 81

A Curious Coincidence.

A business firm which was engaged in
settling a matter of Importance had in
its Office two lawyers, one its own and
another representing ali outside estate.
A document was under preparation.
"And these payments, said one of the
lawyers, debating, "shall be made rata
bly," Eyes. interrupted the other law
yer, land please see that the word rata
bly, is spelled without an e." The other
smiled, and the lawyer who had made
the interruption told his story. Eyes
terday," he said, Il had occasion to use
the word 'ratably, probably for the first
time for more than a year. After I had
written the syllable rat hesitated for
an instant, and in that instant I lost the
knowledge whether the word was spelled
with an or not. l went into Judge
Blanks Office, just adjoining, to consult
his dictionary. He was writing at his
desk, and as l passed him l asked,
Judge, how do you spell ratably? He
answered, Exactly as I am writing it at
this instant; look over my shoulder I
looked, and he was just finishing the
word 'ratably,' which occurred in the
course of a document he was writing.
He, too, averred that he had not before
had occasion to use the word for
months, at least"
This may well pass for remarkable
coincidence-that one man should come
in to ask for the photography of recon-
dite, little used word at the exact mo-
ment when another man was writing it.

The Art of POliteDess.

"Adonis" a stylishly dressed woman sat
behind young girl whose large hat
somewhat obscured her view of the per-
Torrance. A polite request on her part
would doubtless have induced the wearer
of the obnoxious hat to remove it. But
the woman who couldn't see preferred
other methods. So loudly and rudely
she said: 81 think it is abominable for any
one to wear big hat like that in the
theater. 1t oughtn't to be allowed"
The wearer of the hat Immediately re-
moved it. Then the woman who couldn't
see leaned forward and said in the most
dulcet of tones: st was very sweet of
you to remove your hat 1t quite OBJ
scured the stage from view" But the
sweetness had come little too late, and
the wearer of the hatreplied quietly, but
cuttingly, "It would have been more
amiable of you, madame, had you asked
me to remove my hat instead of making

HOW the MosIemS Pray.

The true Mohammedan is enjoined to
prayer five times day-namely, first in
the morning before sunrise, at noon, in
the afternoon before sunset, in the even
ing between sunset and dark, and be-
tween twilight and the first watch, be-
ing the vesper prayer. A sixth prayer
is volunteered by many between the first
watch of the night and the dawn of day.
These prayers are simply repetitions of
the laudatory ejaculation, "God is
great~ "God is powerfulr' "God is all
powerfulr' and are counted by the scru-
pulous ON string of beads. They may be
performed at the mosque or any clean
place.
During prayer the eyes are turned to
the Kebla or point of the heavens in the
direction of Mecca, which is indicated in
every mosque by a niche called Mehrab,
and externally by the position of min
arets and doors. Even the posture dur
ing prayer is prescribed. The most SOL
emn alteration is bowling the forehead to
the ground. Women are to fold their
hands on their bosoms and not to make
such profound obeisance as the men.
They are to pray gently and not to &C
company the men to the mosque. In
addressing God worshipers are to be
humble, putting aside jewels and costly
apparel. Brooklyn Eagle.

Women Who Want to Act.

"All sorts of people want to go on the
STAGE" said the manager of dramatic
agency the other day. Applicants
come from every walk in life. The lady
in society and the woman who sells pins
and needles behind the counter think
they are born to be actresses. They
waste their time trying to get into the
profession, but not until too late do they
realize that their vocation is not the
stage and that they are then unfit for
anything else The reason is, fancy,
that many women are simply crazy for
novelty, excitement and dress. They
cannot resist the opportunities which
the stage offers for satisfying their cray
ing, and if they can do nothing better
will go ON as ballet girls.
"a great many people come in here
every day who are to write symphony,
but they linger around the agencies and
pick up odd jobs now and then. A mana
ger perhaps cannot afford to pay the
salary an experienced actress would de-
mand, and for some performances is
willing to accept the services of an anna
teur. Three women apply for position
to one man. Music and Drama.
