A Complete Defense.
New York Journal. |

New York Journal.
 "We propose to show, gentlemen of the jury" said counsel for the defense, "that it is impossible for the defendant to have committed this crime.
 "In the first place we will prove that the defendant was nowhere near the scene of the crime at the time the crime was committed.
 "Next we will offer the indisputable testimony of persons who saw the de- fendant on the spot, and who dId not see the defendant commit the crime.
 ''We will show that no poison was found in the body of the deceased.
 "Not only that, but we will prove that it was put there by the prosecution in this case.
 eve will furthermore show that the deceased committed suicide.
 "And last, but not least, We will prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the deceased is not dead.
 "In view of al which corroboratiye facts, gentlemen of the jury, we re- spectfully ask for an acquittal"

Wife of William J. Bryan.
TReview Of Reviews

Review of Reviews.
 Mrs. Bryan has been almost as deep a student of public questions as her husband. While his chief interest lay in the practice of the law she studied law and aided him in his office. When, following the natural politics and state craft, she too took up the questions of the day and investigated them intelli- gently and exhaustlvely. Mir. Bryan frankly confesses the aid she has given him in preparing his addresses-tor, like most good speakers, he seldom goes before an audience on an occasion of importance without careful preparation During his term in the House of Rep- 1esentatives she never failed to be in the gallery when he was to speak. and her presence stimulated as her aid be- fore had prepared him. At the Chicago convention she sat prominently on the platform throughout the sessions, not ing with mind trained to grasp public affairs the varying moods Of the great gathering. She saw the wonderful out burst of enthusiasm that followed his speech, and sat through the four bal lots that ended in his nomination. Since the convention she has been constantly at his side, travelling with him and sit ting on the platforms from which he makes his speeches. In the event of of his election, she may be expected to be more than merely mistress of the White House. Her impress already upon his public utterances IS apparent to those who know her, and should her husband be called to the first position in the republic American womankind might feel more than ever before that their sex had positive part in the gov erument of the nation.

How to Pronounce Golf.

Americans who like to pronounce words as they are spelled will be grati- fled to learn that the name of this an- cient but modernized game is properly pronounced exactly as it IS written, Golf. It is said of John Quincy Adams that he insisted upon calling the French word depot with accent on the last syl Iabio de-FoT and never could be nduced to call it de-PO as was the style in hls day. What he would have done if he would have lived until now and found the same word universally pronounced as DA-PO it is hard to say. Mr. Adams was opposed to the adoption of foreign words in the English language but in- sisted that when they were used by Americans they should be pronounced as spelled. How the lingo of some of our fashionable sets of these times would have jared upon his sensitive American nerves,

OUT OF JAIL.
Judge Rouse Reduces the Sem
 tence of Pedro G. de Ia Lama.
Bulletin

Bulletin
 The habeas corpus case, by which ed~ itoF Padro Garcio de la Lama sought q dischar-e from the jail, where he had been placed by Justlce A. w. Wright or Clifton. for contempt of court, was heard by Judge Rouse last Thursday evening.
 Judge Moorman, attorney for the fiery editor. took the position that the Ari- zona statutes conferred no power on justices of the peace to ummariIy pun ish person for contempt of eonrt. He took the ground that the statutes defin- ed contempt of court to be a misde- meanor and that the only way con- tempt of court, committed before a jus~ tice of the peace or other inferior court, could be punished was by complaint and trial.
 District Attorney Jones took opposite grounds and read from the statutes that justices were empowered to p nish lawyers, jurors and witnesses for con- tempt. Mir Jones held that justices un- doubtedly had the right to Infict. sum- marily, punishment for contempt. Without this authority justices would be powerless to maintain order and re- spect for their court.
 Judge Rouse in rendering his decis- ion took occasion to say that Arizona legislatures, in his opinion, had been derelIct in not limiting the punishment which might be inflicted by justices for contempt. He referred to the Miss Ouri statutes which fixed the limit of punishment which might be inflicted by justices for contempt to imprisonment for two days and fine of twenty doi- lars. Judge Rouse decided that jus. tice in Arizona had the power to inf1lct punishment for contempt to the same extent as for misdeneanor. But, he decided that on writ of habeas corpus a district judge might modify sen- tence for contempt, fine saw fit, and this he done Tn the case before him. De Ia Lama's sentence was reduced from sixty to fifteen days in the county ja@. Having served ten days he was allowed to pay $5 and go. which he did.
 It is understood that there are other legal troubles awaiting De la Lama on his return to Clifton.

 Talking loud and seriously. And the beams of mellow sunlight. Stealing through the branches old, Fall upon thsse two heads lightly, One of silver, one of gold. Sometimes they are so earnest
 People watch them from the street. Are they politics discussing?
 Are they telling love words sweet? Hold, my friends it is no riddle! All your guesses may be spared One is grandpa, silver-headed Onefs Arthur, golden-naired, Chums are they, and boon companions, Bound by love, tender and pure. Yes, there is few years difference In their ages, to be sure; Eighty years, on grandpa's s tresses, Have their many trials told Arthur's five years have but added Beauty to his locks of gold.

The following from an exchange is as applicable to the larger districts as it is to the smaller ones: A general ten- dency in rural districts IS for the school trustees to postpone hiring their teach CTS until time for their school to start. This is a very neglectful habit and should not be followed. It's not meant that the first teacher who makes appli- cation should always be employed with out regard to scholarship or any of the qualities requisite to teaching ability, but the idea is to secure your teacher early, for the best teachers are always picked up first. Whereas, if the matter is put off until the last moment, there is not such variety to select from, and 1t will often prevent an unwise choice in the selection of teacher"
