THE SONG OF CHRISTMAS EVE

r. by Gouverneur NJ. Smith.
Good st. Nick in hurry, [o2
Mid his Christmas eve furry.
Started up with a skip and a jump,
But on reaching the door -.
He slippNl on the floor '-t2.i
And his head got terrible bump AIN
But quite undismayed.
No grief he displayed, H. t-a
And started again with IL skip 80
All the stockings to fill
By mystical skill.
AS he did every year on his trip. goo;
He said to himself.
"I'm not yet on the shelf:
I feel young, though quite hoary in
years;
While at heart often sick
That ingrates are so thick. .-..---.-,.-

LuDGE MELvINls CLOsE.

At ten minutes OF five, Judge Melvin
arose TO conclude the argument for pro-
moments. and at the outset. referring 10 q
remark made by Mr.. Hubbard. he said
MIR. Hubbard had evidently assumed the
proponents were before His Honor with
out proper standing or right, ana insisted
that they were properly asking Tor q new
trial. and he believed the Court Tould
give careful consideration TO the points he
had alleged He did not know what weight
MIR. Huboard's suggestions would have,
but he knew what weight thoy ought to
have.
Continuing and referring 10 Mr.. Hutch
inson's acknowledgment OF the non-obIec-
tional nature of the proponents grounds,
and MIR. Hubbard's inclination 10 view
them as critical if not hypercritical, Judge
Melvin said re regretted the language nc
had chosen to present his ideas had not
been the best he could have chosen. Per-
haps the truth lay some where between the
two extremes taken by the two gentlemen
on the other side but he desired TO insist
that the obligations he had made were
based upon what to his mind seemed to be
proper and sufficient grounds
Judge Melvin then began a hasty review
of the grounds Of objection he had before
set M. meeting the criticisms made by
Messrs. Hutchinson and Hubbard, and
fortifying and adding 10 the facts be mad
before adduced. He devoted cOnsidera-
bic amount of his time 20 sec
ond consideration Of the questions OF
testimentary capacity. and insisted that
the burden was upon the other side 10
show the existence and character OF insane
decisions In again touching upon instruc-
ton No. 4, he said he thoughtthe Court had
committed a grave fault in using the Ian
guage It had. 10 would be proper enough
in an opinion Of the Court, but manifestly
improper in an instruction TO jury. Upon
insane delusions, Judge Melvin said he
was not convinced from what had been
read from the newspaper report OF the
trial-"a report reasonably accurate, con-
sidering the facilities the reporter had"
And he held that the opinions Of the wit
nesses were entitled 10 little weight unless
the witnesses gave the facts and circum-
stances upon which the opinions were
based Mere opinions were OF conclu-
sive, and 10 show this, the Judge read
from several authorities. He held that
there was no fact or crcum-
stance going 10 show anything more than
feeling. amounting possibly 10 prejudice,
against one or more OF the children, but no
. evidence ct all showing such feeling
against all Of them. If there was delu-
sion, there seemed TO the speaker to be no
difficulty in defining and describing it; but
that had not been done IN this case. 1t was
not an impossibilty to state what delu-
sion was or to define IT, either In this or
any other case. The matter only became
difficult when the delusion did not exist,
or only existed in the form Of prejudice,
more or less hostile. The contestants
spoke of IAN insane delusioD." but were
not explicit, because they could not lind
anything of that class 10 define.
Judge Melvin spoke until about six
o'clock, when the Court took the matter
under Amusement
