An Unlucky Thought.

Representative Bynum, of lndi.
ana, is one of the best parliamenta-
rians and most successful lawyers
in the House Before coming to
Congress be acquired considerable
prominence as a criminal lawyer,
and was in great demand to defend
criminal prosecutions In the Wash
ington Times he tells a story on him
self to illustrate the fact that some
times an attorney can ask one ques-
ton too much. Aud this is the way
he tells it:
"a number of years ago, when a
young attorney, | was employed to
defend a man charged with mayhem
in a little town in Southern Indi-
ana" said Mr. Bynum, "ana among
the witnesses for the defense was an
odd character named 10 Bates.
When 10 came on the stand and af-
ter the preliminary questions, l
asked him if he had seen the fight
in which my client was supposed TO
have bitten a piece off the other
mans ear.
oh, yaas, mister, replied 10, i
seed ali of it,.
How did you come to see it, JoY
WAL, tell you how twas. | had
heerd good deal about Jim Hask
ms fitin-as how be was good
man-and / wanted to see as how
he handled hisself.
Did you see the fight to the end.
JoY
'Yaas, mister.
Gould you see both men all the
timer
oh. yaas, mister
Did you see Jim Haskins bite off
Bill Browns carr
oh, no, mister
Did you see him try to bite Bill
in any way, or was the fight fair and
without eouglng and bltlngf
'Yaas, the fife was fit fair, and
Jim licked Bill without turnin'
hair. and did not see Jim bite Bill
in any way answered 10.
That will do, 10, said |: and just
as 10 was leaving the witness chair
for the prosecutor did not want TO
examine him-an uniucky thought
occurred to me, and | told him to sit
down and answer one more question.
10, said ], slowly, and in an i'm
pressive manner, did sou see any
thing during the fight, or immedi
ately after it was over, that led You
TO think that possibly Jim might
have bitten off a piece OF Bills carp
'Wsal, mister, replied 10, 4 didu't
see Jim bite Bill, nor would / tho't
anything about it, only after the
fife was over Jim spit out piece of
ear fore he cud take chaw terbac-
Ger; but | don't know whether it
was Bill's ear or not.
Mr.. Bynum says that he lost the
case, and that his experience with
10 taught him to let well enough
alone When examining witnesses.

The Heredity of Talent.

The November number of Nun
sey's Magazine contains a short sto-
~ entitled, Bobby Flax by Miss
Margaret Kenna, of Charleston,
daughter of the late Senator John E.
Kenna 1t is an interesting and well
written story of Washington life,
but gives glimpse of the mountains
ana valleys of West Virginia that
her distinguished father loved so
well. 1t cannot fail to be of special
interest TO ell West Virginians and
all of the late Senator's many friends
no matter where they may re-
side. Aside from all this it is very
meritorious effort in itself and gives
promise of brilliant literary career
for its fair young author if she con.
tinues in the work she has begun.

The Republican campaign organs,
that is some of the small fry are just
now busily engaged burying the re-
mains of W. L. Wilson deep, they
say forever from public view. If
they could only remember back
when the Mckinley bill was first
started, they would doubtless re-
member that soon thereafter one
VIM. Mckinley of the State OF Ohio
was turned down emphatically by his
constituents for congress, by man
who had never been regarded as
politician in the sense that Mr.. Nc
Kinley understands the term. This
should be proof positive that Con
q essional election does not by any
means stamp fiat on what the flu
ture may be. Instead of retiring Mr.
Mckinley it only nerved him up to
the point where he could make 10000
campaign speeches in less than two
weeks, or rather one speech 10000
times which shows that our friends
the enemy have little knack for
truth telling.
