Five Minutes.

In a murder trial before a western court
the prisoner was able to account for the
whole Of his time e. 'ept five minutes on
the eveping when the crime was commit
ted. His counsel argued that 1t was i'm
possible for him 10 ave killed the man
under the circumstances in SO brief a Pc
riod, and on that plea largely based his de-
Tense, the other testimony being strongly
against his client.
When the prosecuting attorney replied,
he said: "How long q time really Is five
minutesi Let us sec. Will his honor com
mand absolute silence In the courtroom
for that spaoel"
The Judge graciously complied. There
was a clock on the wall. Every eye In the
courtroom was fixed upon IL as the pendu-
lum licked off the seconds There was q
brcathless silence.
We all know how time which is waited
for creeps and halts and at last does not
seem to move at all.
The keen witted counsel waited until
the tired audience gave a sigh OF relief nj
the close OF the period and then asked
quietly:
could he not rave struck one fatal
blow I'm all OF that time'"
The prisoner was found guilty, and, a:
it was proved afterward, justly.-Youth's

squirmed and had really a devil Of q time,
but at last / came to my senses enough 70
ret up aud see what was the matter. Then
I discovered that ali my windows had
been closed, q fro made In the big stove In
the room and a foot thick Of cover laid
over me. I was 80 weak / could hardly
stand when I hrst got out Of that actual
hotbed Of satan, bat q few minutes at the
window, which 1 opened, refreshed me
very much, and as soon ~ / could 1 got
down To the Office.

and / am ready to bee he never got such q
tongue lashing rs 1 gave him before he
had a chance TO either apologize or fight.
/ knew he wouldn't fight, and after awhile
he began to explain. The first thing he
said was to the effect that I ordered the
fire and the extra cover, and / went at
him worse thar ever. No doubt ! would
have sailed In and kicked him through q

prietor, q very nice fellow, and he came
out to see what the matter was. Well, II

he was freezing to death and wanted fire
