a Client Makes Speech That
Wins His Case at Once.

II went into a country district in
Maryland IA few days ago, to try
case, said u Washington attorney
to a reporter
Il appeared for the plaintiff and it
must be confessed that the evidence
failed to establish his claim. pre-
scented the matter before the justice
of the peace in the best light | knew
how, but had very little hope of Sc
curing verdict. My client, when |
finished, whispered to me that he
would say few words if | was will
ing, and considering the case lost, |
consented. 1t was thetmost unique
speech | ever heard, and it won the
case. He said:
- Squire, | brought this suit, and
the evidence, except my own is
against me. / don t accuse anyone
of lying, squire, but the witnesses
are the most mistaken lot of fellows |
ever saw. You know me, squire. Two
years ago you sold me horse for
sound, that was blind as bat. |
made the trade and stuck to it, and
this is the first time have mentioned
it. When you used to buy grain, you
stood on the scales when the empty
wagon was weighed, but never said
a word. Now, do you think l am the
kind of man to kick up rumpus
and sue a fellow unless he has done
me wrong?' 1t just took five min
utes for the Justice to decide for the
plaintiff. Washington Star.

me Chambermaid's Tips.

A pleasing story is told by the crown
prince of Germany, who. with his
brother. was recently with their tutor
ut the hotel of the Chutes du Rhin.
When the tutor paid the bill be offered
a money present to the chambcrmaid,
who, however, refused the gift, point
ing to notice that tips were forbidden.
The tutor explained the situation to the
eldest pupil, who thereupon went out
with his brother and bought very
pretty brooch. This he gave to the
maid, saying that. las II was not money.
she could not refuse it," AS the young
princes were staying Mt the hotel in
cognito the maid did not know that
the donor of the brooch will probably
be emperor of Germany some day.

been stolen. AS no one knew he took it
home it was perfectly safe placed in our
cellar in an iron box behind the potato
barrel.
Autumn heightened into early winter
OF unusual severity, snow fell steadily day
after day until the roads were impossible,
except for stout-hearted woodsmen, who
plunged waist-deep through the feathery
mass, for it was at first too soft for snow
shoes.
''Joe plodded cheerfully through the
drifts when occasion required trip to the
nearest settlement for food or some neces-
sity. Nothing was too hard or too tire
some for him. He had the true Indian
spirlt-the dogged perseverance that never
Misunderstanding once undertaken a task
he never relinquisned it until he had con-
quered it.
His unfailing cheerfulness shamed us
when we felt inclined to grum BILE over
trifies. AT night, when we sat before the
blazing hearth in our little snow-bound
cabin, and mother read to us or taught us
simple lessons from old schoolbooks. Joe
was always most attentive and eager 10
learn.
lone afternoon Mr.. Avery, man from
the upper settlement, came out to see
mother on what he called very particular
business.
Sorry to trouble you.' he began, lift
ing his hat as he came in. but refusing to
be seated. i want to see that Indian

fellow was. she asked him in to rest and
share our evening meal.
HE told us that he was called Joe by
his English-speaking friends, but his In
dian name was Little White-Hawk. He
had no home. and was going to Monica
mines in hopes Of finding work.
I'VE knew he would be disappointed in
this, for father had told us he had more
workmen than he could employ steadily
and every day brought more laborers from
the surrounding country, all of which
mother told him.
''When supper was over it was quite
dark, and mother asked Joe to stay over
night with US, for in those days the
coyotes were pretty thick out there, AMI
occasionally mountain lion strayed down
in search of prey, making lonely night
trip rather dangerous.
'Well, to shorten my story, mother was
so well impressed with Joes quiet be-
havior and frank, honest face, that she of
fered him a home for the winter in return
for his services about the house, which he
thankfully accepted.
He turned out to be good, obliging
fellow, respectful, intelligent and kind,
especially to Dot, of whom he grew very
fond. Father was also much pleased with
him. and after his advent came home less
often, for he was extremely busy at the
mines He was prospering beyond his ex-
pect atoms.
HE brought home several times boxes
OF gold dust for safekeeping until lie could
dispose of it at Santa Fe, for, in spite of all
his precautions at the mines, some had

faint good-by to each of us, and with a
dry sob rushed out into the gathering
gloom of the early winters nj hit, Dots
sorrowful little wall following him from
the open door,
'As the days wore on to weeks, we
missed him sorely; our evening circle was
incomplete without his slender figure in
the chimney corner; the stories were
duller without his swift, brilliant smile
and mellow laughter and his eager inter.
est to stimulate us.
When Mr.. Avery heard that Joe had
left US he very unjustly circulated the
story of his supposed theft, and added a
long line of misdemeanors gathered from
uncertain sources.
II regret to say that we boys, who knew
Joe so well and should have upheld his
honor, began to believe evil things of him,
as he did not return to contradict the
rumors; but when father came home,
some time after that, he told US Joe was
working at the mines and was very much
liked.
The long winter gradually melted into
spring rains OF hardly more warmth than
Decem ber SHOWS. Rivers of rain-water
rushed down the mountain side In perfect
torrents; every high gale broke off the
lce-laden branches like straws, making
travelling extremely dangerous.
We were rain-bound in way that is
hard 10 understand here in the East.
There was nothing 10 do but wait for fair
weather.

eye on 1t, for it was perfectly new treas

taKaole evidence, you see.'
"Of course We did not believe Joe guilty.
Mother entreated Mr.. Avery to withdraw
the charge, but this he refused to do, say
ing 1t was not his first offense.
He has been with US four months,
mother said. in Joe's defense, and in all
that time has given me no cause TO COM
plain. l think you are mistaken in spite
OF your circumstantial evidence.
But | have abundant proofs that he is
an old offender Mr.. Avery insisted.
He's old Chippewah's sen, to begin with.
After his fathers capture he was sent to
Montana to a MandaE school, where he
was clothed and fed, but was finally ex-
PEELED on account of general vagrancy.
THAT was bad. but it did not convince
mother of Joe's wort hlessness. She begged
his accuser to give him another trial,
offering also to refund the money he was
accused of stealing. Mr.. Avery protested
at first. saying it was not SO much the
offense itself as the principle that prompted
ii that he looked at, but after polite hesi-
tation he took the money and went his
way.
Joe returned from the mines that
night. tired and hungry. Mother gave
him his supper in the kitchen, while we
hovered over the sitting groom fire, full of
evil apprehensions.
After a long time the door opened and
Joe appeared, locking very pale even in
the rosy glow of the freight. We ex-
pected iervent protestatlons OF innocence,
and his unnatural quiet frightened us
more than confession OF guilt would
have done.
"I will go away he said, gravely,
looking straight into our eager, troubled
faces.

from the school, but have never stolen

suppose you have all heard the wise
saying, DO not try TO kill two birds with

whom most of you feel quite well ac-

quite anxious to understand its exact
meaning. His auntle very carefully ex-

But alas! alas! the mischievous Brownie

"All right" answered the lad, as he

and placed it on his mammals bed. Then
he began slowly to unbutton his coat,
standing in front of the book, and looking
at the pictures the while. Mamma left
the room on some errand without glanc-

she found him gazing with delight at a

Jimmie loves Belle best on earth,
Next to his own dear mother.
When Jimmie runs away to school
Belle is always sure to follow,
And then the teacher fires her out,
Because she's such q poor, poor scholar.
Jimmie goes to church on Sunday,
And Belle waits upon the stair,
Whether she's cold, or tired of waiting,
Nobody ever seems to care.
Jimmie sometimes goes a-calling,
OF course poor Belle stays outside.
Ii he jumps upon streetcar,
She runs along, but has never ride.
Jim and the boys went camping,
And gladly took Miss Belle along,
When all around the fire were singing,
She didn't know even line Of song.
