Have Been Battle.
She was 4 comely young woman, in
telligen. and modest, and the little
boy who accompanied her was obyi-
ously her nephew. The car was
crowded. Wedsed III between a fat
matron and seemingly eligible
young man with a newspaper, she
compressed herself into as small a
space AS possible and took Robbie on
her knee.
B-r.-t-i-sh, British; a RIM y,

bic, in high pitched voice, looking
over the young mans shoulder.
"B-o-e-r-s. What does 'B-o-e-r-s'
spell, Aunt Martha?'

man, pronouncing the word to rhyme
with moors.

Bobbic resumed "Bloody s-o-r-t-i-c--
What's that spell?"
The answer was inaudible to all
save Bobbie
"Sor-tee?" he yelled. whats a

"S-h.h-h- Not so loud"
"Well, what's a sor-tee?"
She whispered reply.

He resumed reading:
"Was fought, the insurgents being
intrenched behind a k-o-pj-e. What's
'k-o.p-j.e' spell?"
She murmured something about it
not being nice to look over the gentle
mans shoulder, and tried to divert his
attention to the sights along the way
side. But Bobkie insisted.
"What does 'k-o-p.j-e' spell?" he
screamed, in voice that caused the
motorman at the other end of the car
to look back and forget to stop for
would-be passenger.
Again whispered answer.
"Kop.f, kop-ff, kop-ff" repeated
the terrible infant, contemptuously,
with vigor OF enunciation that re.
minded the young man of gin fizz.
"Take your handkerchief off from
my mouth and quit pinching mel"
Every passenger smiled his appreci-
alton of the scene. The car stopped
at railroad crossing to wait for a
train to pass, and in the unwonted
quiet the boy resumed his reading.
"The British commander is ex-
pect-ing re-in-force-ments from G-r-i.q-
u-a-l-a-n-d. Aunty, what's 'G.r.i-q-

She pulled his head up close to hers,
partially to hide her bushes, and
partially for the sake Of privacy in the
delivery of her answer.
"Well; you said you'd git me that,
anyway, don't yon know" he retorted,
"for takin' the note to Mr.. VIII
Ow-o-o-ch! Quit pinchin' me-"
More whispering on the part of the
young woman, interspersed at inter-
walls by such audible remarks from
Bobbie as: "No, you won't tell

ambitious for honorable achievement:

dens the hands or soils the garments,

THE DANGER IN CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

having murdered William Harrison,
who was steward to Lady Campden.
The body was not found. but John.
the stewards servant. being accused
or the crime. and anxious to clear him
self. confessed that his mother and
brother had killed Harrison. The con-
fession did not save him. Three years
after the triple execution Harrison re-
appeared In Gloucestershire. He had
been kidnapped into foreign slavery.
Lord Coke cites the case of an Eng
lishman accused OF numbering his
niece. She was heard to cry out.
Uncle, do not kill me-" and soon after
disappeared. The uncle. being re.
quired TO produce her and being un-
able TO do so. procured another girl
to personate her. but the fraud was
detected, and this lent such color to
the other circumstances that he was
convicted and executed. II was after

Two brothers travelled together to "A

Circumstantial evidence plays a
prominent part in cases OF murder. All
the great murders of the past 10 years
which have occupied the public mind
and filled the newspapers were based
on circumstantial evidence and in
nearly every instance conviction en-
sued. Recently Roland Molineux was
convicted Of murder in New York after
trial which was celebrated in Grim
inal annals. He was found guilty on
circumstantial evidence and sentenced
to die In the electric chair. His at
torneys claim he is innocent and will
appeal the case.
There are many cases where men
supposed to be guilty Of murder have
been legally executed and later their
alleged victims have been found alive
and well. In the summer OF 1892 a
jury In Waldron. Ark, found Abner
Ray guilty OF the murder OF John
Potts. The convicted man rose TO his
feet to protest his innocence. His

ACCIDENT EXTRAORDINARY.
A Machine Took ON y Mans Arm with
out Touching u.

out Touching u.
few days ago Mr.. James McMullen
OF Hutchinson. Kan. lost his arm In u
laundry In that town In manner ex-
traordinary. He stopped AT a wringer
and held his hands over II to dry
them. He got one hand too low so
that the air suction caught II. and his
arm from the elbow down was taken
on as by miracle. The wringcr Is
circular iron affair, with smaller
bowl inside II In which the clothes are
placed. The smaller apartment Is per-
forated with noles upon the sides, and
the whole thing revolves at the rate
of several thousand revolutions a min
ute. The effect is that the air currents
within the wringer are as terrific In
their power az the center section of n
Kansas cyclone. When cyclone
strikes n brick building and hurls II to
atoms the force seems appalling and
incomprehensible. The accident to Mr..
McMullen was equally mystifying. The
instant his arm came into contact with
the current OF air II was parted ut the
elbow. One part lay on the clothes that
were In the machine and the other
dansled from his shoulder. There was
nothing about the machine to give him
even n scratch.
