mo, SIR
We'll, what other faults did she
have?"
-Oh, she would go out nights?"
And did you attribute her habit Of
going out nights and leaving you alone
to her being Engllsh?"
The witness snapped out a negative.
Critchlow pursued this line of inquiry
until the witness got real angry and
then dropped her.
He possibly had an object, as many
of the jury are English.
DIR. Jones carried a wise look to the
stand with him and listened patiently
while Attorney Putnam formulated a
hypothetical question nearly yard
long at him.
1t was: Assuming a person of Mrs.
Hutchinson's history, prior to her
coming to this city and of her manner
of life here as to occupation; that she
had at various times in the course of
her work as professional nurse taken
articles, always of some intrinsic value
or of use to her, or for useful purposes
to others, or those she could sell and
OF September last, of this year, there
was a lodger in the house where she
was stopping, either a Spaniard or a
Mexican; that he disappeared, and
took with him a latch key; that his
absence was made the subject of re-
mark; that articles We're taken and
when the ms or was discussed she al
legged the Kissing man had taken
them; that she breaks a window in the
house and takes certain articles and
lays the blame on some one else and
only admits the theft herself little by
little when pressed; is she sane or in
sane2"
DR. Jones might as well answer that
he did not know, for he replied the per-
son might be either He would not
think such actions necessarily the ac-
lions of an insane person or of Sane
person. And from that point on the
man of medicine sat patiently and
answered all sorts of questions until
he was finally relieved.
The final admission he made was
that she was a person of a very nerv-
Gus temperament.
1t is very likely the case will go TO
the jury today.

WILLARD BEAN GETS HIS CHANCE

Willard Bean will now have chance
to fight with Jim Williams, or else re-
linouish the title of 'the Utah cham
pion," which he has been wearing for
some time.
Mr.. Bean has, at various times, indi-
Gated his strong desire to meet Will
liams, but the latter was on the police
force and could not pay any attention,
of course, to these negotiations. Jim
no longer wears the blue and brass,
however, and feels at liberty to call"
Mr.. Bean. He did this yesterday, by
meeting him in person, and the south
ern Utah man reiterated his desire for
a match, stating. in the presence of a
number of persons, that he would let
Jim come I'D to 165 pounds.
This was all satisfactory, and the
Williams party repaired to The Herald
office and left a forfeit of 800, which
Mr.. Bean is requested to cover, and
the negotiations can then be speedily
carried out.

Earning a small salary in a public

lived frugally and has been able to go
to Europe every other year for two
months holiday.
Her first journey was made to Eng
land and Scotland and was enjoyed so
keenly that she planned another one
and saved money for it during the next
two years. The second tour was through
France. Belgium and Holland. and in
order to travel comfortably she learned
French during her leisure hours.
Returning TO her school work. she
began to study German and at the end
Of two years was ready for journey up
the Rhine and TO Vienna and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bremen.
With renewed ardor she plunged into
the study of Italian. and at the end OF
two years she started for Rome. She
made the round of the Italian cities and
spent a fortnight In Switzerland. Two
years afterward she was in Spain and
was able to speak the language

Wit of the
French People.

Much has been written of the bright
/ cynical wit Of the French; but, although
we are not inclined to associate the
trait with these people. there is also
sort of humor of a broadly ludicrous
aspect in many of their daily expert
ences and possibly as much about their
wedding festivities as any other general
| function of their lives.
In Paris, especially among "the peo-
ple"-the bourgeois class-marriag GER
emonies are conducted in accordance
with a fixed rule as determined as are
the regulations governing the conduct
of the residents of the Rue Monceau or

DAYS generally selected, and particular
ly on the last day of the week, during
the warm months, crowds Of vehicles
NAV be seen threading their way
through leafy avenues to popular sub
urban resorts filled with gay parties,
the air resounding with their songs and
jests.
The fronts Of all the cafes in the en-
virons of Paris are paved with asphalt

mazes Of waltz.
Generally there is the most perfect
good humor, but sometimes the har-
