CROSS A WITNESS
A well-knoWn criminal lawyer, who
prides himself upon his crosse -xam-
lining a witness, had an odd-looking
genius upon whom to operate. The
witness was Il shoemaker.
You say, sir, that the prisoner
is thief?"
Yes, sir, 'cause why, she con-
fessed it,"
And you also swear she bound
shoes for you subsequent to the con-
fession ?"
81 do, SIR"
Then"-giving a sagacious look
to tho court" we are to understand
that you employ dishonest people
to work for you, after their rascali-
ties are known ?"
"Of course how else could | get
assistance from lawyer ?"
The counsel said Stand aside,,
in tone which showed that if he
had the witnesses head in chan.
Gerry, little mercy might have been
expected. The judge nearly choked
himself in futile endeavor to make
the spectators believe that laugh
was nothing but hiccough, while
the witness stepped down.

A SCOTTISH congregation pre-
sented their minister with a sum of
money, and sent him off to the con-
tinent for holiday. A gentleman
just back from the continent met a
prominent member of the church,
and said to him: "Oh, by the by,
met your minister in Germany
He was looking very well he didn't
look as if he needed rest" "No,n
said the church member very calmly,
cit was ma him; it was the congre-
cation that was needin' a rest.n

"GOOD NEWS. "--Congressman
John Allen tells this story A
widow in my district desired posi-
ton in the Agricultural Department.
There was no vacant place, and |
was compelled to inform nv con-
stituent that l could do nothing for
her until a vacancy arose. But she
persisted in her efforts to obtain q
position, and for two weeks thereaf-
ter met me at every turn. One
morning l had just finished break
fast when I was told that she was
awaiting me in the reception room.
So l assumed pleasant demeanor,
and, entering the room, said, in a
sympathetic voice:
Well, my good woman, what
news ?"
"Good news" she said" good
news, Mr.. Allen"
Well" said l, "that is pleasant,
What is the news 2"
Oh" she said, "good news, Mr..

TRIBUTE To A MOTHER.-Chil-
dren look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling of
even single touch bestowed upon
you by that hand! Make much of it
while yet you have that most pre-
cious of all good gifts, a loving
mother. Read the unfathomable
love of those eyes; the kind anx-
iety Of that tone and look, however
slight your pain. In after life you
may have friends; but never will
you have again the inexpressible
love and gentleness lavished upon
you which none but a mothar be-
slows. Often do 1 sigh in the strug-
giles with the hard, uncaring world,
for the sweet, deep security l felt
when, Of an evening, nestling in her
bosom, listened to some quiet tale
suitable to my age, read i'm her un-
firing voice. Never can / forget
her sweet glances cast upon me
when l appeared asleep; never her
kiss of peace at night. Years have
passed away since we laid her beside
my father in the old churchyard ;
yet still her voice whispers from the
grave, and her eye watches over me
as visit spots long since hallowed
to the memory of my mother.

IN his autobiography George Ebers
writes of his mothers influence 81
had no thought, performed no act,
without wondering what would be
her opinion of it; and this intimate
relation, though in an altered form,
continued until her death. In look
ing backward, 1 may regard it as q
law OF my whole development that
my coduct was regulated more or less
according to the close mental and
outward connection in which stood
with her."

Difficulty OF Diplomacy.

There is lady living in Walters
flats, says the Chicago DisDatch,
whom the gods have endowed with
the gift of diplomacy to such a re-
markable degree that it is really a
pity that her sex precludes her from
