An Awe Stricken Witness.

81 we'll remember" said Il veteran
lawyer, the trial of a case in which
Judge Henry T. Backus was doing
cross examining. Now. the judge was
noted for his lavish use of six footed
words, and he used frequently to
astound if not confuse an unprepared
witness with 4 plethora of high sound
ing phrases. The case | speak of was
tried in Sault Ste. Marie. and there
was simple, inoffensiye Frenchman
on the witness stand. He understood
little Of the attorneys profound inter
rogatories and gave his answers in a
confused and stammering way calcu-
lated to ruff1e the sweetest temper.
Finally the attorney paused in the mid
die of his cross examination and OBJ
jected because the answers of the wit
ness were not responsive. He was adj
vised by the court to couch his cues
lions in simpler language. Then Judge
Backus. pointing his finger at the meek
looking witness and looking him
straight in the eye. thundered:
"'Sir. | desire you to respond to my
heterogeneous categorically and with
out prevarication or take the cOnse-
quences"
"'Ohr exclaimed the I'renchman. ris-
ing from his chair in fear oh. What
dat?
"Of course the incident convulsed the
spectators and the court, and it was
some time before order was restored
and the case could proceed"

MAIL ON TRAIN RIFLED
Postal Clerk Fatally Hurt and Registered
Pouches Robbed.

Pouches Robbed.
TeXarkana, Ark, Dec. 15.-Two I'M
known robbers possibly fatally wound
ed Postal Clerk John n. Dennis and
rified the registered mail pouches on
a Cotton Belt mail car near. here early
in the morning. Two suspects have
been arrested, but none of the stolen
mail has been recovered, and there is
no proof against them.
The scene of the robbery was Bas-
sett's station. thirty miles from here,
across the Texas line. SO carefully
was it planned and so shrewdly did
the bandits work that nothing was
known of the crime until the train ar
rived here and the mail car had to be
broken open, because Dennis failed to
respond to calls. He was found lying
unconscious on the floor. with an ugly
wound on the top of his head. Two
hours after he was taken to the hos
rital he revived enough to give the de-
tails Of the robbery.
Just as the train started from Bas-
SETS he went to the vestibule of the
car to stir up the fire. When he
opened the vestibule door he saw two
men standing by the stove. One of
them dealt him a terrible blow over
the head with a heavy shovel. and he
was then beaten into q senseless con-

Took His Last Cent For Drink.

u
The old soak, in his tattered. patched
coat, shuff1ed up to the bar, where he
had drained off so many drinks, and
looked wistfully at the bottles of red
liquor in a row about two arms length
away.
Say, Jim, old boy" he said to the
bartender ia the most winning tones
he could muster, you wouldn't take q
mans last cent fer drink. would ye?"
You bet your life | would" snapped
Jim, with the viciousness Of "a steel
trap. Jim suspected an effort to get a
drink on tick and proposed to forestall
it.
"Well, l s'pose | got to have her. so
set her OUT and the soak heaved up a
great sigh that shook his frame with
emotion.
Jim heaved a much lighter weight
sigh on discovering that the drink was
to be paid for. He set out the bottle OF
the toughest goods he had in the house.
The unwelcome customer poured out
four fingers and drank it down with
evident relish. Wiping his mouth on
his coat sleeve, he reached into his
pocket. and, pulling out one old. tar
nished cent that he had found on the
sidewalk. be slapped it Oh the counter
"There you are, JIM he gurgled.
"What's this?' yelled Jim in loud,
strident tones.
"You said you'd take me last cent for
a drink. and there it is"
Jim reached under the bar for base
ball bat which he always had on tap.
but before he could get it out the artful
soak had disappeared through the
front door.-Chicago Chronicle.

Brooklyn, Terry McGovern.
Chicago, Dec. 14.-Terry McGovern
is now the undisputed lightweight
championship of the world. He
knocked out Joe Cans. Of Baltimore,
after two minutes and five seconds of
fighting in the second round. Cans
put up a very poor exhibition, and was
never in it at any stage Of the game.
McGovern started rushing him at the
sound of the gong, and never let up
until Cans was counted out. He never
delivered an effective blow during the
fight and for a man of his reputation
made fight which will gail him no
friends among lovers of true sport in
the ring

JOHN BULL NOW OBJECTS.
Wants u Modification of the Demands
Made Upon All Sin.

Made Upon An Sin.
Picking, Dec. 17.-Definite instruc-
tons, supplementing Saturdays COM
munication from London have been re-
ceived by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the
British minister, and he now demands
a modification of a point in the joint
note which the foreign ENJOYS general
ly regard as important. This means
further delay, as all the ministers must
communicate anew with their respec-
tive governments.
Just what is the nature Of the OBJ
lection raised by Great Britain the
ministers decline to say, but they adj
nit that the new demand will involve
a good deal more diplomatic procedure.
