Lord Bowen, an English judge. was
once tempted to sum up ironically. It
was the case of burglar who had
been caught, having entered from the
roof aad taken the precaution to leave
his boots on top. His defense was that
he was in the habit of taking midnight
strolls ON the roofs of houses, and that
he was tempted by curiosity to have a
look at one of the interiors. Lord
Bowen said, sarcastically; IF, gentle
men of the jury. you think it probable
that the prisoner considered the roofs
OF tho houses saiubrioas place for an
evening walk: IL you suppose that the
temptation to inspect the interior Of
the houses beneath him was the out
come of n natural and pardonable Curl
osity, in that case, of course, you will
neauit him, and regard him as a
thoughtful and considerate man, who
would naturally remove his boots be-
fore entering the house, and take
every precaution not to disturb his
neighbors." To the judges amazement,
the jury took him at his word and ac-
quilted the prisoner. Lord Bowen
never attempted to joke with jury

The Spokesman Review very
cruelty throws cold water down the
backs of the populists who are ca
ger for British gore, by giving in
ternational law to the effect that a
war with Great Britain does not
mean reputation of debts owed to
the citizens of either country by
treaty between the two nations. 1t
slaps O plaster over the sore, how
ever, by winding up as follows:
"It needs to be added, however,
that with populist congress at the
helm, all debts owing from the
Uuited States to England might be
repudiated in defiance Of treaty,
and the act of repudiation would
stick--provided we whipped Eng

The women Of Different Nationaiitiss
Easily Distinguished.
You can tell at glance the French
woman from the American, tie latter
from the English woman, and yet, says
the Paris-New York Herald, each wom-
an is perfect type.
The well-dressed Frenchwoman
wears a very large hat or exquisite
toque; her chiffon blouse has short
sleeves, and is made with rundown
collar; her gloves are very long, reach
ing far above the elbow, and, although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has waist at whatever sacrifice,
also hips. She wears white veil,
which she never puts on, under her hat,
and when she walks, which is seldom,
1t is on the tips of her toes.
The well-dressed English woman
wears in the morning mans colored
shirt, with white collar, mans neck
tie, tailor-made white drill or holland
Jacket and skirt, pretty hat with How
ers, with veil plastered over the face tc
keep the fringe in curl
she has good figure and is very tall
does not wear high heels and uses hei
whole foot when walking.
The American woman is combina
ton Of these twq. With great acute
ness she selects the best points of each
but you would never take her for any
body but herself. She is rather inclined
to the enormous hats Of the French
but she does not wear short sleeves
and low necks with them.
She is always appropriately dressed
and has a costume for every occasion
which always seems the very bes
thing that she could have chosen. Sh'

Yesterday the APPEAL was notified
