A quick witted and daring western
lawyer once saved guilty, client from
sure conviction on a charge Of poison
ing. 1t was proved that the poisoning
had been done by means Of certain
cakes. portion Of which was pro-
ducedL In court. When the counsel for
the prisoner had finished his speech,
he said: "And these, gentlemen Of the
jury, are some of the alleged poisoned
cakes. We declare to you, gentlemen
Of the jury, that they are not poisoned
cakes. They are as harmless cakes as
ever were made. and in order, gentle
men of the jury. to show you that these
cakes are not poisoned. will eat one
of them right here in your presence"
/ And he did eat one. He took good
care, however, to leave the room at the
earliest opportunity and to make bee
line for an adjoining room, where he
had an emctic in readiness and an anti
dote. But the jury never heard about
the emetic or the antidote until the
lawyers client had been acquitted.

Hindrances to Success.

Many man with great brain power
and fine physique who started in life
with good prospects has failed to attain
great success because of little idiosyn-
crasies, pecul;arities of speech or man.
ner, things not in themselves vicious or
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who have
dealings with him.
If 1t were possible for us to write Of
all the little things which have cut
down the average of our success and
to calculate just how much each has
contributed to the whole. it would be
most helpful.
For example. one young mans ad-
vancement has been cut down % per
cent by bad temper. a surly, disagree
able disposition; another's by careless
aess in dress. an unkempt or slovenly
appearance. and yet another's by q
sharp tongue or an unkind habit of
criticising.
Many brilliant and capable stenog-
rapher has failed to advance because
she had disagreeable habits that annoy
ed her employer, who. while he recog-
nized her ability. preferred less able
stenographer who had amiable and
agreeable qualities. The lack of amia-
bility has stood in the way of advance
ment of many an employee who won
dered why he did not get along.-Suc-
