His Reputation Was at Stake, and He
Seemed to Know 1T.
Leo, St. Bernard owned by John G..
Hartmann of Wilmington, Del, proved n
splendid witness in his own behalf in a
lawsuit tried recently. Benjamin G. Bar
clay sued Hartmann for So, 000 damages,
declaring that the dog had attacked him
without provocation, severely lacerating
his hand and arm. Testimony was offered
to show that the dog had attacked other
people
In defense of his reputation Leo himself
appeared. He came TO court gayly dressed
for the occasion in a silver collar and big
red bow He made stately circuit of the
courtroom, went to tho jury box and
offered his paw TO the dignifled l2 and
then gave the judges appealing glances,
tenderly rubbing his nose against their
knees and wagging his tail. Several per-
sons also testified TO his excellent DISPOSE
ton, and he was proved to be a great pet
among tho children in his neighborhood
When the judge summed up the case
and the jury filed out, the dog followed
them and remained in the jury room until
he was put out. The jurors went out at
noon, and when court adjourned they an
nounced that they could not agree, and
were locked up for the night At the end
of 26 hours they were discharged on dis
agreement, six of the jurymen firmly
agreeing that the dog S reputation for good
temper was excellent. Twenty four bal
lots were taken. New York Mail and Ex-

His Voice Came Back.

Frederick Markley, leading citizen of
Church, Mich, lost his voice when boy.
He spent fortune in an effort to regain
speech, finally abandoning medical science
and trusting wholly to the efficacy of
prayer for relief One day recently "a
miracle was apparently wrought, the
power of speech returning to Markley as
mysteriously as it left him nearly half
century ago.
Markley attributed the recovery of his
voice to divine interposition. He is up
ward of % years old, and is so elated over
the recovery of the power of speech that
he talks constantly. 1t is feared his great
Joy will dethrone his reason. Exchange.

Shot Through a Log.

AT Christiansburg, w. Va, recently
Frank and Will Collins, sons of Robert
Collins went out into. the woods with a
gun for days sport. About noon they
scared up ground hog, which ran into "a
hollow log. Will went to one end and, ly-
ing down, peered into the hole. Frank
went to the other end, which lay so that
he could not see his brother. Frank had
the gun, and thinking he saw the animal
near his end of the log he fired. The bull
let passed through the log and struck his
brother fairly in the middle of the fore
head, killing him instantly.
Frank did not know that he had shot
his brother for nearly five minutes, only
finding the dead body when he went to
the other end of the log to look for his
game. -Philadelphia Press.

CANNOT EAT OR SLEEP.
Strange Case of Young Lady Who Lies
In Trance.


Miss Katherine Kane. charming young
woman who resides with her parents in
Elizabeth, n. j., has been lying in oata-
lcptic condition for some time past in the
General hospital in that city.
No causes are assigned at the hospital
for Miss Kane's condition. IL was said
in some quarters that she was deeply
religious girl and had exhausted her nerv-
Gus strength by her devotion to a mission
attached 10 ST. Patrick S Roman Catholic
church, which, by the way, is not far from
her home.
Not long ago Miss Kane, while seated
at table with her mother, was seized with
pains in her throat. She protested she
could not swallow, and even after the
family physician, who had been sum
mOned, arrived and declared that there
was nothing the matter with her Miss
Kane insisted that she was unable to eat
and shortly afterward collapsed.
The next morning she was found lying
with staring eyes and jaws closed like a
wise. She could not or would not reply
10 questions and refused all nourishment
Under the circumstances it was deemed
advisable TO remove her to the General
hospital, where all Efforts to arouse her
proved fruitless.
Since her arrival I'm the hospital Miss
Kane has been nourished with liquid food
introduced into the stomach by means of
nasal tubes.
The physicians declare that there is no
physical reason why Miss Kane should not
eat, drink, sleep and talk 1t is simply
that her hysteria took the form of her I'M
aginng it impossible TO do so.-Exchange
