Given Scoring by Judge Davis In
the Laidlaw Case.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Evidence was
taken yesterday in the suit of Broker
Laidlaw against Russell Sage for $50, 900
damages. for shielding the millionaire
from Norcross' bomb. Judge Noah Da-
Wis, in opening, said: "What man is there
with soul so dead to the ordinary die
tates of humanity, but would have made
some provision for the person who saved
his life at the peril of his own"
In conclusion Judge Davis said that
he would produce a witness who would
show Sage had acknowledged that Laid
law saved his life. This will be about
the only new evidence in the trial. Laid
law told his story, and said pieces of the
wood and metal were still being taken
from his body. Joseph H. Choate
promises to fay Uncle Russell on Cross
examination on.

CARL SMITH OR THE YOUNG NE
CHANIC.
READ BY MISS EFFIE IsELEY.

Away back in the sixties there lived
in n of the busy bustling cities Of
New England a young man just enter
ing the active throng of toilers that
swarmed into the various occupations
of that section. Reared in humble
circumstances, Carl Smith had not en-
joyed the advantages of an education
beyond a few months attendance upon
the public schools of the city. He had
however, the constant help of Chris
tian edmonton urging him to the OBJ
servance of strictly religious principles.
His heart throbbed with an ambition
to do something and be something
worthy of a man. He was not Pfraid
of work, if only the promise Of fair
wages could be seen in it. Professional
life had no special charms for him, be-
cause the worry of business would de-
stroy the relish for the pleasures of
home life.
Naturally ingenious in the use of
tools, Carl applied himself to mechani-
cal pursuits. He soon found a position
with q large manufacturing establish
ment at a good salary per month. By
economy and frugal habits he Don had
several hundred dollars as the net
earnings of a year or two's hard work
He associated with the better class of
young people in the city, and became
known and respected on account Of
his sober and virtuous conduct. His
place in the church was seldom vacant.
He experienced a fondness for sacred
things and keen disgust and mortIfica
ton for every thing that was low and
degrading.

time Carl began to think of a

Nobody knew better than he how t.

lady. Greater responsibilities only
served to evolve greater energies, and

was fast becoming an expert in hi'
line of work. He was able to lay by
