in view of the precedent of procedure
when the Mckinley bill was under con-
sideration, that Mr.. Wilson, on, behalf of
the majority of the committee: was en-
titled to perfect the bill before it was
thrown open to miscellaneous amendment.
Several minor amendments were agreed

Our English cousins have had ..much
amusement from our use OF guess for
..think" or suppose" and mad" for
"angry," forgetting that their early writ
ers used the words in exactly the came
sense. 1t is simply the survival Of the
old English in new land. The terse
phrases Of America they look upon as
slang. not reslizitg that . young nation

Selling the Opportunity.

Lord Coleridge sprang into emf
hence as a lawyer by adroitly seiz-
ing simple incident while he was
pleading the cause of man on trial
for murder. In tho. course of his
long argument, a candle in the jury
box hickered and went out, leaving
the court room in darkness. He
stopped speaking, and the silence in
court for a moment was oppressive.
The usher replaced the light, and
Coleridge resumed his address.
Gentlemen of the jury, you have q
solemn duty, very solemn duty to
discharge. The life Of the prisoner
at the bar is III your hands. You
can take it-by a word. You can ex-
tinguish that life as the candle by
your side was extinguished mo-
ment ago. But it is not in your
power, it is not IN the power of any
of us-of any one in this court or out
OF ito restore that life, when once
taken, as that light has been re-
stored" The tone in. which the
words were spoken, the cadence OF
the voice, and the action of the ora
tor, with the inspiration of the
scene and the hour, produced a
thrilling effect. The jury acquitted
the prisoner, and Coleridge's fortune
was made. -Argonaut.

Payne, was much given to Greek

me once, in a hushed whisper, the
translation of these quotations. 1

hands as if mutely calling on heaven
to witness his innocence.
They carried the dying man into

couch, while Alcorez followed, sickly
with terror and agitated beyond

ready. 'sSee if there is a doctor here"
he said briefly to an attendant.

suddenly, as he rose from the couch
and stood firm. II was not hurt" He
