TRAPPED BY A LAWYER.
rbo Witness Was All Right, Only He tor'
cot All About the Almanac.

OF MI hOOQl kllO
TIE story of Abraham Lincoln's con-
founding an opposing witness with an
almanac record of the moon phases,
finds parallel in the case of Waterson'
recently acquitted on a charge OF MUIR
der in an Iowa court. The main witness
against him was one Delaheld, VINO
swore he was working just outside the
window of the accused on the day OF
the alleged crime, and saw Waterson
open a cupboard and take down bot
tie. move about as if preparing a por-
ton. and then administer the draught
to Mrs. Waterson, who died in great
agony later in the day.
A lawyer named Bradford, for the
defense, had asked the jurymen on ex-
animation of them as to their compe-
tence, if they had faith enough in the
weather bureau reports to attach cred
ence to them, and had found every man
on the panel believed the records were
fair and reliable. The state had not
understood the drift of these questions,
but had not objected.
w
Bradford asked the witness, Delaffeld,
what he was doing outside Waterson's
window, and he said he was digging a
cistern.
when did you Degin digging that
cistern?"
November II, the day Mrs. Waterson
died"
How much did you dig that day?'
ooh about three feet"
What tools did you use?'
"a shovel
'"And pick?"
mo, the ground was mellow"
Work in an overcoat?'
mo; in my shirt sleeves. The day
was warm"
Have anything to drink?'
"Had a little pail of water on the
ground within reach"
Didn't it freeze?"
mo" The witness smiled scorn-
fully
Then Bradford offered in evidence a
certified copy Of the weather bureau re-
port for November 10 and IL, and
showed that the temperature had been
below freezing the first day and below
zero the day Of the alleged crime.
The jury accepted the official docu-
ment, and to that extent regarded the
witness as impeached, for Waterson
was cquitted-Chicago Times. Herald

Believed the Stone Crew.

At the monthly meeting of the Folk
Lore Society," held Thursday. night, an
interesting paper was read upon some
archaeological Folk Lore of Maryland,
by Mr. Arthur Bibbins, professor of ge-
ology at the Woman's College. The
paper treated of fossil cycadean trunk
from the Potomac formation Of Mary
land. The formation extends across
the State in a belt of twelve to fifteen
miles wide in nOrtheasterly and
southwesterly direction, and forms in
part the foundations of the cities of
Baltimore and Washington. One of
the most notable conceptions concern
ing them is that they are sort OF stone
plant, endowed with a species of life
and the capacity in marked degree
for growth. A legend concerning a
large specimen resembling a hugh
honeycomb and belonging to the mu-
scum of the Woman's College, which
was found in the Valley of Stony Run,
in the Maryland depression is that it
was discovered when small stone by
one Aunt Polly Jones, in 1880, and car
ried in her apron distance of not less
than two miles. The stone was plant
ed by her and since then has grown
until it now weighs 121 IL pounds -

How to Sleep,

Better sleep can be obtained with a
low than with high pillow. To less
EN- the work of the arteries that propel
the blood to every portion of the Or
ganism should be the aim of every one,
SO that the posture that most nearly
places the body in horizontal position
is the most to be desired. Bolstering
up the head is always to be condemned,
whether in. sickness Or in health, I'M
less bodily injuries render the perfectly
recumbent position impossible. 1t is
not we'll to lie always on the back; by
this practice the spine and the nerves
that there congregate are kept too hot
and a feverish sleep is apt to be the
result. The right side is the best to
recline on, for then the heart and the
larger arteries are relived from undue
pressure. Occasionally one rests well
lying on the stomach. AS a general
rule, eight hours is ample for a person
in health; more produces a dull, heavy
feeling on arising; less, an unsatisfied
craving for more. And there is also
no room for doubt that the two hours
preceding midnight are the most favor
able for enjoying the beatty sleep" of
the night.

DRESS FABRICS.

Silk lowers upon the horizon as the
coming dress fabric. 1t is very sud
den development, but none the less
significant. Upon all sides the wooden
gown is yielding in favor to that Of
silk. Even where wool IS worn the
appearance Of silk is brought out by
the intermixture of that material on
the front of the bodice and the sleeve.
Velvets are just now being brought
out for bodices, consisting of stripes
of velvet alternating with brocade Of
small roses. But, novel as these are,
they are not nearly so popular as the
quaint pieces of old brocade of almost
any kind. In the house, at "func-

A Bear Raised BY a Goat.

The bear that figures in the story
was known as Jack, and he belonged
to Lewis Ford, who formerly owned q
goat ranch high up on the Cerro Col
orado Mountain. overlooking tie
lovely valley OF the San Joaquin.
Ford found the bear when it was a
cub, soft, round, shining and black.
Being wifeless, childless and alone, he
adopted the tiny cub, and carried it
home. Once there, Ford soon found
that foster mother must be provided
for the infant, and so frightened,
trembling, bleating she goat was
brought to the house to take the place
of the parent he SO missed 1t was
only after much combined force and
persuasion the goat could be induced
to adopt as her own the unkidike or
phan placed in her care. But the
time came when foster mother and
foster child were as happy and con-
tent in their relations to each other as
if the sight of q nimble-tooted blue
haired "nanny" sucking a clumsy
black bear cub was of the most ordi-
nary condition of affairs.
The bear, which was named Jack,
waxed fat on goats milk; and more
docile, tractable beast never grew up
under the guardianship of humane
and loving master. In the earlier
days of his adoption the baby was a
baby in truth. He would not be left
alone. And it would have been har-
er heart than Ford's that could have
resisted the pitiful whimper of the
little fellow whenever he thought that
he WAS to be left alone within the
house. Had there been any to see it
in those days they would have wit
messed strange sight. The great,
broad-shouldered man following his
flock as they grazed on the bunch
grass-sometimes five or six miles
from home-and as he walked the
steep mountain side. where it was SO
almost perpendicular that it seemed
that only the goats themselves could
gain foothold on the rocks, he car
ried the cub in his arms.
When Jack grew older he was trained
to herd the goats. Previously num-
Der of dogs had helped Ford, but the
bear and the dogs could not agree,
and SO the dogs had to go. Jack took
their place we'll. and they were never
missed. For several years the bear
continued to help Ford, until the lat
ter sold his ranch and prepared to go
to his old home in Europe. Then q
number OF his neighbors tried to buy
the bear. Ford refused to sell him,
and said that il he could not take
Jack with him ne would not go. The
difficulty about shipping the bear was
overcome, and now he and his master
are living contentedly in the old coun-
try, enjoying the fruits OF thir long,
lonesome stay in the California noun
tains. San Francisco Call.
