faithful and industrious member of the
E. H. s. and defend it at all times.
His testimony was then admitted. He
testified to having seen Grant in bad com
pany, and in low class poolrooms.
This concluded the evidence for the
plaintiff.
Attorney Crabtree then presented the
defendants case. He said he intended to
prove that Miss Frazier was a mesmerist,
and had exercised her power over Grant
to obtain the wealth he was said to pos
sess.
Grant then took the stand. He said he
had met Miss Frazier at a dance at Tan
glefoot where he had been introduced
to her by Miss Means. That about
eleven o'clock had been overcome by
kind of stupor, and the next he knew
morning had dawned and he was in bed
at home. Afterward he had these spells
often, but usually while in the presence
OF Miss Frazier. He disclaimed that he
had ever been engaged to Miss Frazier,
that at a time while Miss Frazier was in
Chicago he was not troubled by those
to have produced over him.
He met NJ ISIS Grindell, fell in love with
her, proposed and was accepted. When
Miss Frazier returned Grant called and as
soon as he entered the room in which
Miss Frazier was she asked him about
his engagement with Miss Grindell and
called him faithess and heartless. Grant
testified that he answered in the affirma-
tive to the question about his engage
ment to Miss Grindell and then feeling
one of those ''spells" coming on, rushed
from the house.
Miss Means testified that she had in
trodiced Grant to Miss Frazier at the
Iatter's request, at the dance at Tangle-
foot George Newman who claimed to be
a professional mesmerist, testified that he
had seen Miss Frazier but few hours
before, but could tell at glance she was
a mesmerst.
Chas Burke testified that he had been
mesmerzed by Miss Frazier.
The summing up of the counsel on both
sides and the address of he judge to the
jury, were mastery efforts. Some of the
the points taken We're really good, more,
humorous.
The Jury retired, and after short delib-
Grafton returned with verdict for the
defendant.
The mock trial furnished an afternoon
of amusement as we'll as being in
structiVe.

this week they will be porting over test

Evan9eIistic Meetings.

The evangelistie services being held in
the Free Will Baptist church are going on
quietly, and yet with an increasing in
terest. Last Friday evening there was
large attendance. As many We're COM
PEELED to go away the Sunday evening
before, because of lack of room, it WAS
decided to hold the meeting last Sunday
evening in the vestry of the Baptist
church.
But though there were accommodations
there for about 300, some could not find
room, while a number stood during the
whole service.
Very strongly and so clearly that none
could misunderstood Miss Treworgy
spoke from the words: "And the Books
were Opened" The book of memory,
the book of conscience, the book of the
word of God and the book of influence
will be opened before each and every one
at the judgment day. The record that
these books shall give will determine for
each one whether the word that shall be
heard from Christ shall be Come, ye
blessed" or depart"
The meetings will be continued this
week, every evening except Saturday, at
! O'Clock in The Free Will Baptist church.
The meeting next Sunday evening will
be in the vestry of the Baptist church.

AN APPEAL.

AN APPEAL.
Those who have followed the work of
the Kings Daughters from year to year,
will remember that for the past four
years Christmas mission has been car
ried on to the extent OF sending boxes to
the children of those whose names are on
the visiting list of the benevolent COM
mittee, and to us, who have been inter-
ested in this mission, it seems not the
least important branch of our work.
Many persons probably do not realize
that there are many children in our own
city (where we like to say there is not a
great deal of poverty who never had a
Christmas present until it was sent by the
Kings Daughters, and who will not have
any this year if we are unable to furnish
it.
What this means is best realized by
those who have carried the boxes and
looked into the radiant, happy faces and
alas! into the sad faces of the children
perhaps in the very next house to whom
they had nothing to carry
This work is essentially for children,
although we are glad when we have some
useful article to add for the older MEM
bers of the family, and so we appeal for
aid to more fortunate children.
We do not feel justified at the beginning
of this long, cold winter, when so many
persons will need food and clothing, to
spend our money for these trities, but
will not the little boys and girls spare
something from their store of toys, and
will not the older girls who are making
such dainty little gifts for their friends,
send just one to these poor children?
Some one has said to u.s. II do not
know what to give Then come to the
reading room and we will advise you, or
put yourselves in their places and send
what you would like to have sent to you
if you had never had Christmas present.
All articles left at the reading room as
early as Dec. 20 will be sent where they
will be most appreciated.

ioaier wolves that he has shot,
stuffed and mounted, or stretched
and tanned by Leitys sEiliul hands,
adorn the walls and floor.
Ciark's pony, his saddle. spurs and
all his equipments and accouterments
were kept in the shining aud speck-
less condition o: n crack cavalryman's !;
and his clothing was searched for
rents and missing buttons with the
eagerness of u young wife, new 20 her
duties.
Lifted ont OF vagabondage into a
comfortable home, and freed from the
haunting dreal OF losing it; simply
pleased, like n child, at beings e valued
factor in the comfort of that home,
Lefty, whose springtima had been
nipped and chilled by adversity's
northers, came into late blossom. His
face filed ont and bloomed till it
looked like young boys.
In this fostering atmosphere he put
forth numberless entertaining little
accomplishments; he discovered un-
suspected graces and developed the
cheerful optimism OF the consump-
tive. His cough was always "oetter,"
and he was mildly impatient of any
inquiry as to his health, assuming the
attitude OF II great stout fellow who
ought 10 be ont on the range earning
his way, but who accepted these light
er duties because they were OF sort
unpopular with the others.
Notwithstanding this, he took faith
fully the medicines Clark gave him,
us he would nave taken, done or en-
dursl any thing asked or imposed up
On him from that Quarter.
Bu. there VAS one medicine Clark
could not get HIM 10 take; and it was
tonic upon which be placed the most
reliancs in su;h Il case-plenty OF
whisky.
"No, Mr.. Sargent" he said, "lon't
give me none o that. Whisky an
mes bad friends." "
"Why, Lefty, that's mighty queer.
know you've drank plenty OF whisky
before now"
"Yes, sir; aa' It's what I'll nevel
do AGAIN; it's been my worst enemy.
I've been in with rustlers an all kinds
o thieves when l was drinSin', an
didn't set no good by my ineanness

me as long as l stuck to it, an that
