worldly wise.
A farmer says it goes against the
grain to cut corn.
Some men refuse to marry because
they have a horror of divorce
Too many people in this world do
things for the sake of an encore.
No matter how timid a man may be,
he is never backward about reminding
you of a promise.
1t is said there is no fool like an old
fOOl-but there are some young ones
that run a close second.
There are better fish in the sea than
have ever been caught. Somehow the
big ones manage to get away.
Sometimes when a man tells you he
is discouraged he is merely preparing.
to spend the rest of his days in idle

a girls ideal bathroom always has
long mirror on the ceiling right over
the bathtub.
You probably never met a girl in
your life whose mother didn't have to
work a lot harder than she does.
You can trust a man just as long as
you interest him; you can trust wo-
man just so long as she interests you.
When girl acts like she was so
frightened when a man kisses her it is
generally because she is trying to keep
her eye on the door.
When a girl is in love she wastes lots
of time wondering whether it is sweeter
to kiss or to be kissed that she after
ward spends wondering what kind of
meat she had better order when the
butcher comes.

Recorder Goff was quite right In Ie-

closely watched the case has Observed not
only that they talk tso much, but that
considerable of their talk Is deci 'edly out

yiction or acquittal should rest upon evi
dence-legal evidence-and that alone
But both counsel are contin nally throw
ing out In sin nuations designed to prejudice
the Jury in one direction or another. A
prosecuting attorneys business is to pre-
sent all the legal evidence against an ao-
e3sed man that he can gather, and present
It in such o way that It's full force shall
lie apparent to the jury. But there his
business ends. When he goes beyond that
and endeavors TO impress the jury by
artifioe and insinuation, he is guilty of
grossly improper conduct. The trouble
in many iminaI trials, especially trials
which attract wide attention. is that the
prosecuting attorney il apt to look upon
the proceeding as a contest between him
ami the counsel for the defense, in which
re is justified In resorting TO all sorts of
articles short Of actual dishonesty, to
secure victory. No matter how strong
Iva prosecutor believes In the guilt of
the person on trial he Is not justified
In resorting to insinuatlon and innuend
to bring the jury to bis way of thinking.

In retorting to sharp practice to get his

Mr. Rooerts's address to the people
contains nothing that is likely to help
his cause. If he could set up the cl,im
of Innocence and ailege that he was being
unfairly tried or tried by committees
wlo had prejudged his case undoubtedly
he would deserve sympathy and get 1t.
The difficulty In his case Is that he has
practically to admit the truth Of the
charge upon which he is telng pr,c 'eded

the jury or the exact form of proceeding
has little bearing In the case as far as be

What One Hears in the Telephone

The voice one hears over the iele-

trician, chatting about the oddities
of the business to reporter o.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
1T seems exactly like the real
tones, drawn out thin and small
and carried for long distance by
some mechanical means. but it l.
not. When one speaks into the
instrument, little diaphragm,
like drum head, begins to vibrate,
and each vibration sends wave of
electricity ever the wire. These
waves set up a mimic vibration
in another diaphragm at the op-
posite end, which jars the air and
produces an imitation of the orig
nal voice. That's moi very scien-
tific explanation, but it's accurate.
The autograph telegraph, which
makes a facsimile of handwriting
is fair parallel. You write your
message with a pen attached to a
special electric apparatus, and a
little ink siphon at the other end
of the line exactly initiates every
dot and curve. The result seems
like the real thing, but is merely
frst-cIass counterfeit. It's the
same way exactly with the voice
in the phone"
