gress to testify TO that effect. Finally
members of congress were allowed to
tell that the police had driven women
and children and men over the grounds,
In their charge.
w. F. Longstreet of Worcester, Macs,
and Mr.. Stettstust, a law student in Mr..
Iipscomb's Office, testified that paths
were made across the capitol turf by
people, who took short cuts.
w. o. Shelby, lawyer, described
Brownies arrest, telling how the police
men placed their clubs on people. and
that the officer who arrested Browne had
shown him the stick taken from Browne.
1t had no flag on it.
The defense closed its case and Mr..
Lipscomb asked Judge Miller to charge
the jury that the act of 1885 wss not in
tended to restrict the right of citizens to
peaceably assemble and petition con-
gress, and also that the banner carried
was displayed and designed to bring the
organization to notice. They must ac-
quit Ccxey unless he advised or abet-
ted the others to display q banner and
to walk on the grsss.
Judge Miller said he would charge
that the jury must find that the defend
ants wilfully and knowingly trod on the
grass.
The attorney for Christopher Column
bus Jones asked the judge to instruct
that his client was to be acquitted of the
second count; that there was no evil
dence that he had walked on the grass.
Assistant District Attorney Maloney
made the opening speech for the prose-
cution.
Representative Hudson of Kansas,
who began for the defense. said it was
plain the defendants we're not being
tried on technical charges against them,
but because they held political opinions
contrary to the opinions of those in
power.
"These men are not being tried for
stepping on the grass" he argued. THE
district attorney will argue to you
against Mr.. Coxey himself and the Coxey
movement"
Mr.. Hudson was followed by Mr..
Lipscomb, also for the defense, and the
court then adjourned.

IIiiterate Statistics,

A few men were discussing the prog
ress of education in this country.
You doing good deal OF talking
here, said one, but I'll bet any man
in this crowd new hat that here in
London there are at least 80, 000 per-
SONS who can tspeak word of English. !"
The crowd was staggered at first, but
recovered in a moment, and hat bets
were made. Then it was suggested that
some one should go after the statistics.
Before you do that" said the man
very coolly, II want to bet 81 apiece
all round that there are twice that Hum-
Der that can't read and write"
Again tho crowd felt the pressure of
a bluff, but it rallied soon, and every
man who had sovereign put it up.
The newspaper man stood to win eight
hats and Sc. The man to get the sta
tistics was about to start.
Hold on, said the man with the
iron nerve. II can tell you now who
the first $4,000 are.

mand.

The Only Consideration That Could Have
Prevailed In Boston.
The telegraph operators were telling
stories. The tall man, who has held a
key all over the country, had the floor.
You see good many jokes in the
papers, said he, "abeut the culture of
Boston and the habit people living there
have of using big words and correct
grammar and all that. Most of you

ton in fact. Now, know better.
was receiving clerk in the Western
Union Office there a good many years
ago, and some of the messages handed
in to me were corkers.
lone summer l had the cable win
dow. One day two women dressed in
black and greatly agitated came in and
inquired the rate per word to London.
L told them it was 2S cents. They con-
suited for a minute, and then one Of
them asked for blank. told them
where the blanks were, and one of them
wrote a message. The other took it and
read it two or three times.
"Then she came over to the window
and asked again how much it was a
word to London. Twenty eight cents
l told her. She looked at the message
obviously. The other woman came up
to her and said, Don't you like it?'
No, she said, I don't like it.
That form is improper. You say that
Charles suicided this morning, when it
should be said that Charles committed
suicide this morning.
But, said the other, If we put it
in that way we will save 20 cents.
1.-The woman who objected turned
this proposition over in her mind for
long time. Finally she said, i don't
think that such syntax is excusable.
1.-The other took the blank and read
the message few dozen times. We're
poor, she said decisively after studying
it in all its phases, and we can't save
20 cents any easier
This partially convinced the woman
who objected. But what will our
friends Think she asked obviously.
-" l suppose they will notice it, but
we can t help that Then the two wom-
en- retired to one corner and had con-
sultation. After talking earnestly for
10 minutes they wrote out another mes
sage. So help me, this is the way l got
it: Charles suicided this morning.
False syntax used because 1T is cheaper.
And they paid me % cents a word
for it. All of which," continued the
tall operator, illustrates one of the
curious ways IN which a woman's mind
