OF New York. and Tecumseh Sherman. IT,,
son OF Gen. Sherman, We're called in turn
to establish the identity of the signatures
of the witnesses to the will and ths
handwriting OF Judge Holt himself.
Some time after the noon recess move
was made to offer the will itself in evil
dence before the jury. Counsel on the
opposite side opposed this and long
debate ensued. in which formal applica-
tion for the refusal OF the admission Of
the will to probate was made. This ap-
plication was refused and Judge Bradley
permitted the will to go in as an exhibit.
Mr.. Darlington read the short docu-
ment to the jurors and they all exam
ined 1t.
Testimony was then resumed and Miss
Hynes was called To the witness stand.
She was asked if she had ever seen the
Will. and she said that she had not until
she saw 1t then i'll the courtroom. The
witness was not cross examined.
The last witness of the afternoon was the
executor named under the Will. Luke Dew
lin of the War Department. At the close
of Mr.. DarlinGtOn'S rather brief eXamIna-
ton he was put through cross-eXamina-
tion by Judge Wilson, that had not con-
cluded when the court adjourned until this
morning.
MR.. DEVLIN UNDER FIRE.
In reply to question from Mr.. Darling
ton, witness said that he was the same
Mr.. Delvin mentioned in Judge Holt's Will.

Story of an Owl.

Kept in activity the owl used to get
out Of sorts at times, just as little chill
dren WILL but instead of giving 1t jam
wrapped around powder, its owner sent
1t for a trip ON the water to cure it. 1t
was fastened to the back of a duck,
which was then driven into a horse
pond The owl was no sailor, and as
often as it struck its claws into the
duck, as it frequently did in it's terror.
the duck Owed and gave it a good
drenching. This made the owl more
alarmed than ever, and caused it to dig
its claws all the firmer into the duck,
and this, of course, only led to its being
ducked again and again. Every time
the owl came out of its bath it ex-
pressed it's surprise by loud hootings.
Then, in fear Of accident to one or
other bird, or perhaps both, the owl
was unbound. After shaking it's feath-
ers as a dog shakes its coat, 1t slowly
fell into it's usual state of solemnfty.
But it was always the better for these
excursions on the pond.-Little Folks.
