Four MinutesL Long.

Bert Nortoni. of Macon, won a law
suit in the Federal Court at Han
nibal a few days ago in a way un-
usual among lawyers-by silence, says
the Kansas City Journal. Mrs. Mar
tina B. Phipps, of Macon, sued the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
way Company for 5000 She claimed
that a spark from one of its engines
caused the burning of her deceased
husbands business property at Ethel
The testimony showed that the Santa
Fe train stopped at Ethel four min
utes the night of the fire, but also that
the fire was well under way before the
train pulled out, and the roads attor-
neys argued that it was ridiculous to
maintain that a fire could be started
by spark and get well under way in
such a short time. Mr.. Nortoni de-
voted practically his entire argument
to this point.
He said" says the Macon Republi-
can, 'if a young fellow was sitting on
a sofa, playing hands with his girl,
time Travelled like an express train,
but If you dumped a lot of engine
sparks on the pine roof of a dry build

ample to settle the fate of the struc-
ture in spite of all efforts to save it.
this. The attorney took out his watch
and handed it to Juryman L. S. Har-
Ian, banker, of Clifton Hill, Ran
dolph county, and requested him to sig
nal when four minutes had passed.
The jurymen leaned over and looked
down at the watch. Then they got
tired and settled back in their seats.
Mr.. Harlan lowered his hand and rest
ed it on mis- knee. The attorney. shift
ed his feet a few times, and sat down
in a chair. Judge Adams looked at
the clock and then out of the window.
"A deputy marshal put his head in
at the door to see what was the mat
ter and waited the result of the curl
Gus scene. Nearly every man in the
room that had a watch was studying
it's face. The speaker was sacrificing
four minutes of his allotted time, but
he felt that it was well invested. At
last Juror Harlan announced the four
minutes had expired and handed the
watch back to Mr.. Nortoni. Only four
minutes. and yet to every man in the
room it had seemed, under the sup
pressed tension, to have been twice as
long. The court remarked after the
case had been decided that it appeared
fully fifteen minutes. The wearisome
suspense was an effective object les
son to the jury and was a startling
exposition of what might transpire in
that time. The jury found that the
defendants engine had ample time in
four minutes to fire the restaurant
building, and they brought in a YER
dict for the plaintiff for $14, 19S.2S-the
exact sum her proof showed her loss
to be-"
The case had been pending in the
courts ten years.

"Don,t Shoot" said Secretary.

Secretary Shaw went over to the
Treasury Department to read some of
his letters to-day, says the Washing
ton correspondence of the Baltimore
American. He took a friend from Iowa
with him.
The Secretary found one long letter
that interested him. He leaned back in
his chair to read it. AS he leaned back
he threw one foot up on the corner of
the desk. The friend from Iowa sat
looking out of the window. Half a
minute after the Secretary put his foot
on the desk an excited man, with a big
pistol in each hand, burst into the
room.
He looked around and pointed both
the pistols at the friend from Iowa.
Don't shoot" yelled the Iowa man
as he put both hands high in the air.
What the -" shouted Mr.. Shaw,
kicking his chair over and making a
wild leap for the other side of the
room.
What's the matter?" inquired the
man with the pistols. rs this man
trying to rob you?" and he pointed
suggestively with one of his pistols
No" shouted Mr.. Shaw from his
vantage point on the other side of the
room. That's no robber. That's my
friend. There's some mistake"
The Secretary was right. There was
a mistake. When he put his foot on the
desk he pressed a button that calls a
Waterman to his Office in a hurry, and
the Watchman came in a hurry lust as
he was expected to.

his inimitable style. 1t was during

One of the pathetic circumstances
that came to light in New York city
on Christmas Eve was that Pauline
Markham, once the queen of stage
beauties, is now earning scant sub
sistence by scrubbing floors in a Har-
lem fiat building. This is the woman
whose arms were once described as
the lost arms of Venus and to whom
Whittier indited an autograph letter
declaring hers to be IA pearl among
pebbles" She is old now and has lost
her beauty. but she retains some
pride, for she conceals her identity be-
hind a fictitious name.
Clarence Orr, formerly in Company
B, Seventh Infantry, has applied for
a pension, basing his claim on a re-
markable set of circumstances. While

Lieut.. Bell. The latter ordered that
they settle their difficulty next morn
ing by a fist fight until one of them
could battle no more. Orr and the
other man obeyed, the former sustain
ing a compound fracture of the right
hand. He claims that had he refused
to fight he would have been guilty of
INSTRUMENTATION, and he is backed up
IN this claim by pension lawyers and
military men.
Mr.. Bowen, the American minister
to Venezuela, has been in the consular

of the late Henry c. Bowen of the
New York Independent. He was trans

good insight into Spanish character
Besides being a diplomat he is a poet

student at Yale he had little difficult
