A Natural Mistake.

A few years before his death Allen
G. Thurman OF Ohio was engaged as
counsel in a lawsuit which was tried
before a country judge in one Of the
small towns In the central part of the
state. Opposing Judge Thurman was
a young lawyer named Cassidy. who
wore his hair pompadour. assumed an
air OF great dignity and was apparent
ly greatly impressed with his own i'm
portance. Upon several occasions dur
ing the progress OF the trial Thurman
referred to his legal opponent as "Mr.
Necessity" The young man arose
whenever this occurred and with great
gravity reminded the court that his
name was Cassidy. Finally, after the
offense had been repeated about a
dozen times. the pompOus attorney ex-
claimed:
Il must again remind counsel upon
the other side that my name is Cas-
sidy. l can't understand why he per-
slsts in maintaining that it is Neces-
sity"
Il beg the gentleman's pardon" said
Thurman. The reason / keep getting
him confused with Necessity Is, pre-
sumo, due TO the fact that the latter
knows no law."-Chlcago Times-Her-

Tuesday afternoon at Denison q
little 11-months- old child Of Mr..
Graham died from injuries receiv-

of the sad occurrence:

hal9Me @ Terror TO Printers.
With no ioborn literary facility, with
IN Unborn artistic conscience that drove
him on in untiring pursuit OF perfec-
ton, Balzac flled the vast chasm be-
tween his thought and its expression
with countless pen strokes and by
methods Of composition all his own,
the exact reverse OF those OF Dumas,
writing at white heat, never rewriting,
or Of Hugo. who said, 81, know not the
art OF soldering a beauty in the place
Of defect. and correct myself In an
other work"
Balzac began with a short and
sketchy and slipshod skeleton, making
no attempt toward sequence or style,
and sent II, with all its errors, to the
printer. Proofs were returned to him
in small sections pasted In the center
of huge sheets, around whose wide bor-
ders soon shot from the central text
rockets and squibs OF the authors ad-
dltions and corrections fired by his In
furiated fist. The new proofs came
back on similar sheets. to be returned
to the printer again like the web and
tracks of tipsy spider. This was re-
peated dozen or, II Is said, a score OF
| times, always with amplifica tions. until
his typesetters became palsIed luna
ties. He overheard one OF them as he
entered the office one day say: I've

"On the evening of Oct l, 1s4T, the
Mitchells were entertaining a party OF
invited guests" writes Amelia II. Bots
ford OF The Mother OF the Stars" in
The Ladies' Home Journal. But Ma
ria Mitchell was not to be deferred by
company from following her custom
of sweeping the heavens with the tele-
scope every clear night. She slipped
away and ran up to the observatory.
Soon afterward she returned and told
her father that she thought she had
seen a comet. He hurried up to the
observatory to look himself and declar-
ed that 1t was indeed a comet. This
discovery entitled Miss Mitchell to the
gold medal that had been offered some
years before by the king OF Denmark
to the first discoverer of a telescope
comet, and IT was struck of and for
wardsd to her"

81 saw q man do trick with c1eds
once" said Godfrey Ashton OF Atlanta.
(which. although be assured me was
wholly q trick and that there was no

unexplained condition In my mind.
There were four OF ms 1t supper.
and the man In question sent for q
pack OF cards, and, handing them 70
the man next him, told him to select q
card In his mind; not to take it from
the pack. but to tell the other two
men what card It was. He was then to
shufie the pack and pass 1t to the
other two men. who were each 70

was then to place-it on the door.
"In the meantime q large napkin
had been tightly bound over the magi-
clans eyes and his dress coat hung over
his face with the tails tied under his
chin, SO that his head was to all In
tents and purposes In q bag. He, BY
his direction. was led to the pack oe
cards and his hand placed upon IL. He
then proceeded to scatter the cards
about until they covered q rough cir
Gle OF three or four feet In diameter.
He called for a knife. and. bringing II
sharply down. drove 1t through and
affixed one OF the scattered cards. Re-
moving his headgear. he asked what
card my friend had chosen. The an

sure enough. was the ten OF diamonds

HE swore It was q trick. but for
the life OF me l cannot see how It was
done. None OF us was In collusIon with
him. | am sure the cards were not q

that he was so blIndfolded that II was
