McCAIN'S.

MCCAIN's, Jan 30.-Another day,
with its successes and failures, is mum
hered with the past. All day the dark ,
heavy clouds have obscured the brigh I
beams of the sun, giving nature that
gloomy, melancholy appearance. Why
Il 1t that we mortal beings 50 often take
upon ourselves the nature OF the day
aud are deSpondent and gloomy? Is 1t
characteristic of human nature that
the dark days of sorrow must come in
to each ones life in order that we may
appreciate the bright days all the more?
An! YES. Sorrow sOttens the heart to
human suffering and causes us To speak
words of tenderest sympathy and per-
form deeds of kiudest munliicence,
bringing all into a closer relationship
aud making us more Christlike, cauS-
ing us to sing that grand old hymn,
NEARER, my God, TO Thee" or "Sun-
shine in the soul, and thus rise above
life's many trials and conflicts.
Day by day we are constantly re-
MINDED of the uncertainty of life, for
death comes not only To pluck those
grown old i'm years, Out the youths OF
our land a. well. When we think of
the many newly made graves that are
now being robed in white (for while we

Lost His Client.

From the Pittsburg News
y good story is told of Kansas City
lawyer. He is more of a corporation law
yer than anything else, but once in a
while he has been called upon to show
his knowledge of criminal law. IT was
not so long ago that he was down in the
territory of Oklahoma and he undertook
the defense Of a negro who had killed a
white man. The feeling against the negro
was intense, and it had only been through
the most strenuous efforts of the officers
that he had been permitted to live for
his trial. 1t was evident that an unpreju-
diced jury could not be obtained in the lit
tie place where the crime was committed
and it was the intention of the Kansas
City man to ask for a change of venue
After he had worked on the case for some
time he ascertained that the Judge was
going to deny anything like a change,
and that his man was to be tried and
hanged as soon as possible.
The lawyer thought long and hard over
the matter and finally hit upon a scheme
which he thought would be successful in
influencing the court.
BY the liberal use of money he sue
ceeded in securing dozen men who, when
the negro was brought INFO the court
room, were to cry Hang him! Hang
him. The lawyer thought that this
would be evidence of the prejudice against
mis- client that could not be overlooked by
the court.
The day for the trial arrived and the
defendant was brought into court. AS
soon as he made his appearance a dozen
shouts went up:
Hang him! Hang him! Hang the
black scoundrel!'
The cry was taken up all over the
court room. while the attorney smiled to
himself as he saw that his little scheme
succeeded. But to his horror the cries
redoubled in force, the crowd surged in
an irresistible wave toward the prisoner,
and before it could be prevented the negro
was taken out and hanged to a conven-
lent tree
The young Kansas City attorney now
confines himself entirely to corporation
law and politics.
