Lawyer's Efforts Weakened by Witty
Story of His Opponent.
A certain excellent but loud-voiced
lawyer was addressing jury. Fin
ally, in perfect hurricane OF sound
he closed his argument and sat down
The jury were impressed, and the
other side was in danger.
The lawyer opposite had sad, wat
cry eye and hatchet-like face. He
sat patiently through the tumultuous
gusts Of his friend, and after the
reverberations Of the closing crash he
rose quietly from his seat.
"As listened to the thunderous APP
peals Of my learned friend" he said,
addressing the jury in a drawing
tone, Il recalled an old fable. You
will remember, gentlemen, how the
lion and the ass agreed to STAY the
beasts of the fleld and divide the
spoil. The ass was to 60 into the
thicket and bray and brighten the ami
mails out, while the lion was to lie
in wait and kill the fugitives as fast
as they appeared. The ass sought the
darkest part of the jungle and, lift
ing up his awful voice, brayed and
brayed and brayed. The ass was
quite intoxicated with his uprSlr, and
thought he'd return and see what the
lion thought of it. With light heart
he went back and found the lion look
ing doubtfully about him.
what do you think of that? said
the exultant ass. Don't you think |

Scared 'em?' repeated the lion, in
an agitated tone. Why, you'd a scared

The Jury laughed. the effect Of the
lawyers sonorous eloquence was Wis.
IDLY weakened, and he lost the case.

Bees and Rheumatism.

spent most of his time in his younger

THE Chicago Record Herald is 6 conspicious example of the success with which the public rewards fearless nonpartisanship in the columns of 6 great metropolitan daily paper. It is an independent paper in which men and measures are invariable viewed wholly from the standpoint of the pub lie good and not from that of the in- terests of any particular political party It is the very reverse of neutral-fear- less and outspoken on all the gres, questions of the day, but presenting iti editorial opinion upon independent judgement and entirely regardless oi political affiliations. Partisanship ia barred as strictly from tho news col. umns as from the editorial page. All political news is given without par- tisian coloring, thus enabling the read. CT to form correct conclusions for him. self. In the ordinary partisian news- paper political news is ordinarily col ored to such an extent as to make it difficult if not i'm possi ble for the read.

her sister Jessie in American vauds- vile houses. It was Jean de Reszks who by chance discovered the capabiu- ties of her voice. In company with her sister Miss Abbott was on her way to England to i'll an engagement at a London music hall. NJ. de Reszke, who by q lucky chance was on board the steamer, heard the sisters sing coon duet at a concert and at once singled out the soprano as an unusually gifted vocalist.
 Following De Reszke's advice. Miss Abbott returned to New York and be- gan to study vocal art under the direc- ton of Mrs. Frida Ashforth. She con- tinusd her studies with Mrs. Ashforth until last May, when her instructor took her to Paris and had her sing for M. Capoul. The result of this hearing was that he arranged to have her sing for NJ. Gailhard, director of the opera. who was so favorably impressed with her voice that he engaged her.
 Miss Abbott made her first appear ancs in the part of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet" and 1t was considered the finest debut ever made on the stage in grand opera.
 Miss Abbott's real name is Picksns. and she belongs to branch of the well known southern family of that name. At one time her father was wealthy, but he lost his money, and the sisters were obliged to go on the stass to sup port themselves.

 The secretary of the iu terior is di. rected to make the necessary examina- tions and surveys and to locate and consolidate these irrig stion works, re- porting to congress at the beginning of each session the results of exsmina- lion and surveys, with the estimates of the cost of all works. The bill em- powers the secretary of the interior to withdraw from public entry the lands required for any irrigation works, and to restore them when, in his judgment, they are not required for irrigation purposes.
 The bill authorizes the secretary of the interior to let contracts for the work and to limit tho area per entry to that reasonably required for the purpose of family, and to fix charges therefor, as well ss the charges on lands in private ownership benefited by government irrigation plants.
 A days labor is fixed at eight hours. The bill prohibits the employment of Asiatic labor. No right to use the wa- ter for land in private ownership shall be sold for tract exceeding l60 acres to any one person. and no right shall permanently attach until all payments therefor are made. When the pay. ments are made for the major portion of the lands irrigated, the management and operation of, but not the title to, such irrigation works, excepting reser- voirs and works necessary for their protection, shall pass to the owners of the lands irrigated thereby, to be main tained at their expense, under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the secretary of the interior, Iwho also is empowered to acquire rights of proper ty by purchase or condemnation.
 The appropriation, use and distribu. tion of the waters rendered available by the works provided for in the bill shall be governed by the state and ter ritorial laws, the right to use the wa. ter being appurtenant to the land irri. gated beneficial use to be the basis, measure and limit of the right.
