CLEARED HIS GLE Mt.

How q Western Lawyer Ovcrcane the
Prepouaersnce OF Evidence.
From the San Francisco CALI My
first case said a Weli-known attorney,
was the defense of negro preacher
in Missouri who had been arrested for
stealing wood from railroad company.
A great deal of fuel had been lost from
time to time, SO when the culprit was
arrested the company was SO anxious
to make an example of him that it enl-
ployed speaial counsel and prosecuted
the case vigorously The evidence
against the old man was convincing
He had been seen sneaking around the
wood-pile and was arrested while car
rying off load.
Il had cubpoenaed about twenty we'll
known business men to testify to the
previous good character of the defend
ant. When the prosecution case was
closed | put one on the stand and
asked:
Do you know the defendants rep
utation for honesty and integrity?'
Yes, was the answer.
What is its good or bad?'
Bad He will steal anything he can
get his hands on.
"a litter ran through the courtroom.
1t wasn't the answer l had expected.
but it was too late, so put on bold
front and called another He testified
as the other witness had, and the pros
ecuting attorney rubbed his hands with
satisfaction. Before | got through with
my witnesses | proved that my client
was a most notorious thief, who was
never known to neglect an opportunity
to steal something, no matter how
trifing it might be. Then / called q
couple of physicians, proved the exist
ence OF a mental disorder known as
kleptomania, read some authorities to
show that it was good defense if
proved, and submitted my case. The
old preacher was acquitted, and there
after stole with impunity, for he con-
sidered his acquittal in the face of facts
equivalent to license to steal"

much consideration as the front? Aye,
even more, for there's nothing to re-
lieye its plainness One rarely sees a
bodice decorated at all at the back, no
matter how gorgeous the display in
front The Norfolk bodice is change
and an Improvement, since it is made
bit attractive at the back as we'll as
the front. Why cannot there be sharp
intersections of lace or Of whatever
trimming there is used on the gown?
But whether the bodice be plain or
trimmed, see to it that you acquire that
graceful poise which insures the sup
pie curve at the waist. A great deal
of it is matter OF carriage. Most
women walk in Ianguid, wabbly style,
when the correct position is to keep
the body firm at the waist and hips,
while the steps should be as free as
possible.
A fetching Virot frock Of glossy black

AS the butterfly en2erges from the
chrysalis SO does the little man of the
house when he steps out of his kits
ana short socks into the dignified COS
tune Of sailor lad. The Tapping
width Of the trousers about the foot
has often discouraged the little fellow,
but his desire to be big counteracts
any complaint he is inclined to make
on this subject.
Bluenannel and serge suits in this
fashion, with trimmings Of white
f~aid and the white front, are familiar,
aad perhaps more seryiceable than any
other style. AS spring approaches
there is. q great change in Jackets for
little men, and to the eTer-ready serge
pants a blouse or jacket Of pique is
added. Pink. white and blue are
especially swell, and when the lads ap-
pear in an entire cotume of white they
are always greeted with looks, if not
words, of admiration.
Little girls, however, have always
had the advantage in the matter of
dress over their young brothers, for
the materials used in their wardrobe
are not exceeded in style by that found
among their mothers. beautiful things.
Spring coats for these embryo queens
Of society are made of heavy corded
silk, in white or other colors. They are
made long and usually with box pleats,
which hang from yoke, and thus give
a large sweep at the bottom Of skirt
Large sleeves have close cuffs at the
waist, and the yoke is covered with
rufEles of lace. Persian silks are used
a great deal this season for these
cloaks; grass cloth, with accordion

About Mourning Dress.

l.. 3. asks If it is proper to wear
surah, gloria or black lace when dress
ing in mourning? Are small sleeves
fashionable again? Answer: Acord-
ing to strict rules, none of these ma
terials are mourning goods, but there
is so much variety in individual opin-
ion that rigid lines cannot be drawn.
French mourning includes lace and
many things that our ideas would not
approve If you want to be dressed in
a genuine mourning costume, wear only
craze and soft, black all wool goods.
Without figure or much luster Small
sleeves are not fashionable.

The Course of True Love.

H. NJ NJ is deeply in love with a
very charming young woman. They
have been engaged for about half
year. H. NJ NJ, is fond of quiet life
and thinls that his lady-fair should
like the things that he likes. But she
has a slightly changeable disposition.
as she has been engaged once before
and broke that engagement. Her
friends, however, approved of the
course she cook She promised her
present intended that she would never
break the pledges she made to him
But alas fer the INCONSISTENCY of Wonx
an! she writes him that she has learneA
to love another, and has asked that
the affair with II. M. NJ. be broken on.
He is deeply grieyed. and while he has
consented to the severing of the rela-
tions between them, he insists on re-
serving the right to visit the young
woman and try to win her affections
back to himself He has made ar
rangements for farm, and now fears
he will not be able to find a wife in
time to AXE charge of it according to
his plans. He wants to know what
course is best. Whether to try to win
the girl again and go to farming or TO
give UP the farm and take up pro-
fession. Answer: Long years of trial
and heart WEAKNESS have demonstrated
that love is one of those eccentric ar
ticles that is always doing just what
is not expected of it. One thing is cer-
tain, that it is almost useless to try to
win back lost love 1t is done in books
very often, but in real life rarely. The
most sensible course is to make up your
mind that love that is not freely given
will never freely abide. Better ind
out before marriage that the younglady
is tickle than to wake UP TO it after
ward AS to taking up the farm, it ap-
pears as though, having a good start,
it would be folly to give 1t up. Why
not stick to it and make success OF
it? Then you may have the satisfac-
tion of showing this changeable young
woman how much better she might
have done had she remained faithful
to her promises made TO you.
