Some time ago, when certain gentle

thither and released the prisoner.
This was most serious breach OF

present had undergone the examination
and the eye doctor was about to close up
for the evening a messenger boy rushed In
with a small package neatly tied up IN tissue
paper and which proved to be glass eye.
The following and evidently hurried scrib-
bled note was attached:

TOO LITTLE DEBATE.
Senator Green's Opinion of the Serv-
tees Held I'm mn Episcopal
Church.

Senator Benton, Of Missouri, one OF the
most conspicuous figures of the century. IN
either house of congress, had formidable
antagonist in Senator James Stephen Green
Congressman Hit, according to the Chicago
Chronicle, relates this anecdote Of the two
gladiators: !.
Senator Green was not only man OF
splendid genius, but OF charming manner.
He boarded at the National hotel, where he
was popular with men and women. The
latter found out that the senator was not
much of churchgoer and insisted that he
should mend his ways in that regard. One
Sunday he was late for dinner. The women
asked him why. :.
al have been attending divine worship
replied the senator, gravely.
|" To what church did you go, senatorg
asked a woman.
81 don't know answered the courtly
Missourian. i walked up the avenue, turned
up Fourth street and entered church on
the lefthand side This was an Episcopal
church.
"'How did you like the servcesg asked
another woman.

ator, that there was too much reading OF the
journal and too little debate.

he bent down and put his lips to his ear.
"Thank God. my boy" he whispered,
I'm gon' 10 wipe up the ground with
'em. Damn 'em, ! won't leave a whole
rag on 'em!"
To the prisoners surprise, he re-
sumed his nonchalant attitude on the
back of his chair, which he hitchcd
about until he had secured his bal
ance. The magistrate looked bored, as
he smiled over at Wrinkle. The solicitor
was engaged in conversation with Thad
Williams and did not seem TO note the
bewildcred attitude of the witness on
the stand.
you are sure that the bullet in your
hand was the one that caused Sydney
lIart's death?" questioned Redding.
Hes already sworn that" put in the
squire, sharply; 1--WE must not 60 over
the same ground twice. IL will take
all day 10 get through"
Its important enough FOR i'm TO
swear IL twice, your honor" said Red
ding, calmly, and then, as he contin-
ued, his eyes began 10 flash and his
voice rang out so clear and loud that
the solicitor looked up in establishment.
'Dr. Sloan, is ii not your opinion that
the ball in your hand could not possibly
have come from the revolver belonging
10 my client?"
There was profound stiffness in the
big room. 1t was broken by an impul-
sive OUTLAW from the solicitor, who
shot an amused glance at Redding, as
il he thought that lawyer had taken
leave of his senses. And then the So
licitor noted the white, rigid express
sion on the face of the witness and his
smile died away.
"We are waiting on you, DIR. Sloan,"
said Redding, calmly.
1T is my opinion" answered the
physician, that this ball could not
have been fired from Mr.. Fanshaw's
revolver. 1t is clear TO me now that
Sydney Hart accidentally shot himself
with his own pistol. II carries 3S-cali-
Der ball; the other only 30"
Not q sound broke the silence of the
room for n brief space OF time and
then the people began 10 applaud.
"Order in court! / will have order!"
Numbered Squire Richardson, and the
room. became still again.
With n sheepish look the solicitor
went to the table and picked up the two
revolvers, and then a sickly smile OF ac-
knowledged defeat passed over his face
as he threaded his way back TO his seat.
