Elspeth Troll are standing together

Lady Westray tomorrow. The West

and Crag Castle will lie shut up IL

A LAWYER.

Numerous Instances are given OF the
power that Mr.. Rufus Choate possessed
over a jury, ~conceallng it ever at the
time he was exercising 1t with the most
potent effect. Mr.. 4. p. Whipple in
stances two notable cases of this kind:
One resolute juryman said to another,
as he entered the bog:
Now, mind you, there Is II mar In
this crowd who will not give a ver-
dict for the client of that man Choate.
Why, sir, he Is the great %corrupter OF
juries. l know all his arts, He Is en-
gagged by fellows who wish to subvert
Justice between man and man. l hate
him with my whole heart and soul!"
When the verdict was given for
Choate's client, with hardly a discus
sion in the jury-room, the wonder was
expressed that this obstinate member
Of the conclave agreed 80 readily with
the rest.
ooh" he said. "the case was a plain
one. Choate was right this time: and
you know II would have been scandal
Gus for me to violate Justice because !
had a prejudice against the person who
| supported II. Let him appear before
us in a Ease where ia palpably wrong,
and I will show You that I'm all right.
He never can humbug mel"
On another occasion a hard-headed,
strong-hearted. well-educated farmer
was one OF a jury that gave five ver-
diets In succession for Choate's clients.
He said:
~ did not think much OF his flights
Of fancy: but considered him a very
lucky lawyer, for there was not one OF
those I've cases that came before US
where he wasn't on the right side"

Almost a Scrap.

Landlord Wenner is one of the most even
tempered men in in town but a story has
Just leaked out regarding an occur ence
that made him mad for minute. His
hotel is his temple of worship and the
dining room is the holy OF holies and one
day when he saw guest raise his fist
and hammer juicy tenderloin in the
most savage manner, he was tempted to
thrash that guest, until he understood
the matter. 1t was just as the stamp tax
system was being introduced and the
stranger had been annoyed almost to dis
traction by it's provisions which Mad
seemed to chase him with it's demand Of
STAMP, stamp, stamp" every time he
turned. He said when he saw that juicy
steak he didn't propose to have anybody
spoil his appetite by interrupting him
with request for stamp and he was
Just attaching that article in q very
vigorous manner in order to forestall any
such demand when Mr.. Wenner observed
him. There was no harm done and the
matter ended in a smile instead of 6
scrap.

After leaving the landing at Bennett
We ran into very heavy wind that made
Us hunt shelter. We heard that the
Coburn scow was on the rocks three
miles below. so the next morning We
walked over the hill and found him, his
goods being strung all along the beach
Tor half a mile. One OF their sweeps
broke just at the moment that they need

servance.

The arguments against the revival OF
the curfew mention among other OBJ
iections that it savors of a return to
rncdievalism and that it intereferes
with parental rights and with personal
liberty. The advocates of the move.
ment reply that there is no more medi-
eyalism connected with the ringing O..
the curfew than there is with any other
custom that happened to be practical
then and is still followed, and that the
sentiment connected with the mere word
latter-day meaning.
As to an interference with the rights
of parents, they point to what may be
called similar interference in the mat
ter of compulsory education. imposed,
as the curfew is, for the good Of the
state. and the question concerning per-
sonal liberty is compared with the Civ
ing of edged tools to infants for play
things.

Similar letters. asking for the same

memb ers of the general assembly of the
state. To these letters we have had four
replies.
If the commission finally fails in the ef-
fort we are making to increase the tax
values of municipalities, counties, and the
state and in that way, reduce the tax
rate, the misfortune will not be because of
lack of interest on the part of municipali-
ties, the counties and the railroads, that
have promptly subscribed the amount ask.
ed from them.
If our tax values remain the same anc
our tax rate continues high, the members
of the commission will have the satisfac-
ton to know that they have done their
very best, at great personal sacrifice and
personal expense. to bring about the con-
ditions so earnestly desired by an over
burdened people.
The commission had reason TO believe
that the best resource for revenue for the
states advancement and the consequent
relief of the people would be found in pub
lie officials, who have for years drawn
their support from the public fund. and
from other patriotic citizens who, as can
didates for office, are themselves seeking
salaries from the peoples money, that
help, in some measure, to make high tax
rate.

facts, as they have come to the commits
