a POLICEMAN named Postley,
"a regularly assigned to duty in
80 the city prison, called at my
Office late one afternoon with
a message that Stanley Montagu wish
ed to see me. The name is suspiciously
pretentious, yet am informed that the
man got it by birth and christening.
He has borne simpler names to which
he was not entitled; the police have a
list of them. In fact, Mr.. Montagu is
a bad man, and at the time when he
sent for me he was in Jail for one Of
the most important robberies within
the recent history Of the city-the
Ramsdell burglary, in which more than
$4,000 worth Of jewelry was stolen.
"He wants you to take his case" said
the policeman.
II didn't know that he had any case,"
responded. Weren't some Of the dia-
monds found in his pockets?"
"Well, not exactly in his pockets, as
understand it." was the reply. 1.-TWO
or three small things were found in his
room. The great bulk Of the stuff has
never been found at ALL"
was aware Of this fact. Indeed,
had certain facilities for learning about
this case, for l was acquainted with
Warren Ramsdell, the brother-in-law
of the lady whose jewels had been
stolen. / had heard of Montagu's ar
rest from Ramsdell on the evening
when it was made and before any ac-
count of it had been printed in the
papers. He had then mentioned that a
few of the least valuable articles had
been recovered.
fe'' indisposed to take Montagu's
case, first, because I believed him gull
ty, and, second, because of my ac-
Quaintance with one of the Ramsdells,
but / had a considerable curiosity to
see Montagu and talk with him. More
over, 1 do not like to refuse point blank
the reasonable request of fellow crea-
ture who labors under the great disad-
vantage OF being in prison Therefore
I went to see Montagu in order that
might find out what ne had to say for
himself.
The hour was rather late for a con-
sultation that day under the strict rules
of the prison, nevertheless l succeeded
In q room of the institution which Is
sometimes used for that purpose. Mon
tagu was q tall and slender man of
forty years or thereabout, having iron
gray hair upon remarkably wei
shaped head. His face was smooth

VERY Near Winning.

81 proposed to Miss Gladys Beauti-
girl last night"
"Ah! And she accepted you?"
well, no-o-o, not exactly, but she
camesso near doing SO that great deal
of the sting was taken out of her re-
fusal She said she would have ac-
copied me if had had plenty Of mon
ey and a perfect disposition, and my
eyes were brown instead Of blue, and
my hair curly, and was two inches
taller, and was winning fame in my
profession, and possessed personal
magnetism, and came Of an old and
blue blooded family, and would always
let her have her own way, and never
smoked or wanted to stay out late at
night, and did not belong to any lodge,
and would keep stylish turnout and
plenty Of servants, and really wanted
her mamma to live with us, and few
other things which l have forgotten.
But If fellow must fail in an under
taking it is encouraging to him to
think that he came very near winning"

balancing an Egg.

All the world knows how Columbus
on a historic occasion made an egg
stand on end. After many learned
theories had been advanced Tor bal
ancing the egg he set the egg on end
by, of course, MASKING down hard
enough to form a base, but the prob
lem is capable Of still another solution.
It is an easy matter to set an egg on a
plate, for instance, if you know how.
The trick is impossible until the egg
has been boiled in an upright position.
The position Of the hardened yoke at
the end of the shell lowers the center
of gravity until the sphere can be spun
or even balanced with ease.

Pleasant to the Taste.
[OFFICIAL.1
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK,
LANCASTER. GRANT Co., WIS, :

One of the most important require
ments in a medicine to be given to
small children should be that it is
pleasant to take. Bad tasting medi-
cines disturb the stomach, destroy the
appetite and it is extremely difficult
to get children to take them. The
pleasant flavor of Re-Go Tonic Laxa-
tive Syrup, the certain cure for dys-
pepsia, constipation and biliousness,
is the ideal laxative for young child
rem. Sold by JOS. Bennett.

shaven, thin and of the cast suggesting
the vague descriptive term "distin-
guished."
Good day, Mr.. Willard" said he.
You know about my case, / suppose?'
Every little," I replied. What I do
know makes me hesitate to have any
thing to do with it."
Montagu glanced slowly around the
room, bestowing q peculiar smile upon
the various articles of furniture, as If
he had been saying to each Of the
chairs and tables: Nobody hidden be-
hind you. OF course not. Pray excuse
me for thinking of such thing"
Then he turned to me.
"a guilty man is entitled to his legal
rights the same as an innocent one,
isn't he?"
Certainly" said I. ''There is no rea-
son why a conscientious lawyer should
not protect a guilty man against injus-
tice and even against any undue Sc
verify. Do understand that you in
tend to plead guilty?'
"Well, haven't made up my mind"
said he. "Of course don't stand any
chance. A man with a record like mine
is convicted as soon as he's brought in
to court"
eff YOU didn't do the thing" said l,
fight it through"
He smiled at me for about minute
without speaking.
Its possible, you know" said he,
"for a man to be tired of this sort OF
business. He may want to quit and be
straight, you understand. He may see
a reasonable chance. But If at my age
the poor devil is going to prison for ten
or fifteen years what's the use? Now,
see here" he continued in more as
sured tone, ''if I decide to plead guilty
will you take my caseY'

One of the most remarkable hndS or
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that made at Pa
lermo. Sicily, in the year 1916, when an
entire skeleton Of unheard of proper
tons was unearthed by some marble
quarry men. These mammoth remains
measured exactly "a feet from head to
foot and 9 feet inches from point to
point of the shoulders. A stone ak
buried with this old time giant may
still be seen at Palermo in section ~"
of the st. Isorent museum. 1t is made
Of blush looking, fine grained bowl
der and appears to be about 2 feet 8
inches long by l foot broad and 8
inches through in the thickest place.
A musty. rusty looking tag attached to
the relic informs the visitor that it
weighs fifty-two pounds, but the gen.
erallverdict is that it could not weigh
over thirty or thirty-fve pounds.
The skeleton was burned by mob
in the year 1862, during the prevalence
Of the black death at Palermo, the
ignorant, superstitious people believing
that it was connected in some mysteri-
Gus way with the death dealing dis
temper. The skull Of this giant, ac-
cording to Able Ferregus, twas largely
excessive of the baskets sayd to hold
the bushel, being fitted above and be-
lowe withe teeth to the number Of six
ty-foure, the each of which would have
weighed two ounces" Cavalier Scroy
claimed to have found skull on 1'ene-
rife that had sixty teeth.

tnd the police knew only what Rams
dell had said, and that was not evil
dence
Yet, considering that Montagu had
been seen hanging about the house,
that some trifles from the plumber had
been found in his room and that ne
was a known thief, it seemed to me
that a conviction might be expected
But to my utter amazement Montagu
produced absolutely unimpeachable evil
dence of his innocence. A very re-
spectacle family-father, mother and
three Authenticated by a visitor or
two, swore positively that Montagu
had been in their house during the en-
tire evening of the robbery. They had
known him under different name and
had had no idea Of his real character;
neither had they guessed that their
friend was the prisoner under arrest
for the Ramsdell burglary until the day
before the trial, when they were so in

Desses were telling the truth, and it be-
