CHAPTER x.
The knights of Midas Ball.

lIlS OI NludS BALL.
There were two separate and dis
tinct sides to the annual carnival Of
the knights, of Midas. The main OBJ
ject to- which the many commit
tees on arrangements addressed
themselves was the assembling in
Clarkson of as many people as could
be collected by assiduous advertising
ar4al the granting of special privileges
by the railroads. The streets must
be filled, and to fill them and keep
them filled it was necessary to enter
tain the masses; and this was done
by providing what the committee on
publicity and promotion proclaimed
to be a monster pageant of industry.
The spectacle was not tawdry nor
ugly. It did not lack touches Of real
beauty. The gaily decked floats.
borne over the street car tracks by
tro1leys. were like barges from a
pageant of the old world in the long
ago, impelled by mysterious forces.
From many floats fireworks sum-
moned the heavens to behold the
splendor and bravery Of the parade.
The procession was led by the knights
of Midas, arrayed i'll yellow robes and
wearing helmets which shone with all
the effulgence of bright tin. There
was a series of floats, on which COM
merce, agriculture, transportation and
notwithstanding; were U5olllDOuleu dnCl

women, posed in appropriate attitudes
and lifted high on uncertain pedestals

From 1.-The Art Of Cross Examination" by
Francis l.. WeAnan. The Macmillan Company. ]

[From t.The Art of Cross Examination by
Francis L. Wehman. The Macmillan Company
A simple but instructive example of
cross is quoted from
Judge J. w. Donovan's. '.Tact in
Court Tt is, doubly interesting in
that it occurred in Abraham Lincoln's
first defense at "a murder trial.
'Grayson was charged with shoot
ing Lockwood at camp meeting, on
the evening of Aug. 8, Is, and with
running away from. the scene of the
killing, which was witnessed by Sovine.
The proof was so strong that, even
with an excellent previous character,
GraysOn came very near being lynched
on two occasions soon after his IN
Idictment for murder.
The mother Of the accused, after
failing to secure older counsel, finally
( engaged young Abraham Lincoln, as
he was then called, and the trial came
on at an early hearing. No Objec-
ton was made to the jury, and no
cross-eXamination of witnesses, save
the last and only important one, who
SWore that he knew the parties, saw
the shot fired by Grayson, saw him run
away, and picked up the deceased,
who died instantly.
THE evidence of guilt and identity
was morally certain. The attendance
was large, the interest intense. Gray
sons mother began to wonder why
Abraham remained silent so long,
and why he didn't do something.' The
people finally rested. The tall lawyer
Lincoln) stood up and eyed the
strong witness in silence, without
books or notes, and slowly began his
defense by these questions:
Lincoln-And you were with Lock-
wood just before and saw the shoot
ing?
Witness-Yes.
Lincoln-And you stood very near
to them?
, Witness-No; about twenty feet
away.
Lincoln-May it not have been ten
feet?
Witness-No, it was~twenty feet or
more.
!Lincoln-In the open field?
Witness-No, in the timber.
Iincoln-What kind Of timber?
Witness-Beach timber.
Iincoln-Leaves on it are rather

the band rested. "The butcher, the

''He does ones laundry Raridan
replied, and" looking at his cuffs
critically, "he does it rather decently."
There's another side to this,'' said
sSaxton to Miss Warren, while Rari-
dan babbled on to the pretty Vir-
ginian. These people have had a ter
rible hard time Of it. They've been
thru panic that would have killed an

splendid in their courage.
The other boxes and the gallery had
filled, and the mainsfoor was crowded,
save where the broad aisle had been
maintained down the center from the
front door to the stage. A buzz OF
talk flooded over the hall: The band
was silent while it's leader peered
down upon the f1oor;waiting his signal
He turned suddenly and the trumpets
broke forth into the notes of dig
nified march. All eyes turned to the
front of the hall, where the knights, in
their robes, preceded by the grand
seneschal, bearing his staff of office
were emerging slowly from the outer
door into the aisle. When the, stage
was reached, the procession formed
in long lines, facing inward on the
steps, making a. path thru which the
governors, who were distinguished by
scarlet robes, came attending the per.
son of the king.

knights in evening dress who were
honorary members of the organization

Witness-Yes, told you so before.
The interest was now so intense that
men sleaned forward to catch the
smallest syllable. Then the lawyer
drew out a blue-covered almanac from
his side coat pocket, opened it slowly,
offered it in evidence, showed it to the
jury and court, read from page with
careful deliberation that the moon on
that night was unseen, and only arose
at 1 o'clock the next morning.
Following this climax, Mr.. Lincoln
moved the arrest of the perjured wit

Nothing but motive to clear himself
could have induced him to swear away
so falsely the life of one who never
did him harm!'' With such deter

ANTI. MOSQUITO LEAGUE
NATIONAL ORGA ALTON
FORMED AT NEW YORK UNDER
FAVORABLE AUSPICES.

New York, Dec 17.-The first gen.
eral convention to consider the ques-
ton involved in mosquito eXtermina-
ton met here yesterday in the rooms
of the board Of trade and set afoot a
national organization. There were
about 100 persons present.
Franklin Murphy, governor of New
Jersey; John Kean, senator from New
Jersey; James Wilson, secretary of ag-
riculture, and William c.. Whitney
were all unable to be present, but
they sent letters saying that they
would stand for being. known as anti
anophelists. t-,'. @.'-.-..
Henry Clay Weeks, in calling the
convention to order, drew attention to
a fact which is often overlooked-that
the antimosquito reform has passed
beyond the humorous stage.
. DR.. John B. Smith, the New Jer-
sey state entomologist, who probably
knows more about mosquitoes than
any other living man, sent in a paper
telling about thirty-three kinds that
he had dealings with.
William J. Matheson, the IA
ther of the movement, of the north
shore Of Long Island, told of finding
mosquito larvae in the water of well
10 feet deep and having tempera-

"YeIl, Saxton, yen!' He rose to his

times at football" he declared, sink
ing back into his chair with an air of
exhaustion, and wiping his face.
The king seated himself, and ex-
pectancy again possessed the hall.
The, band struck up another air, and
a line of girls in flmy, trailing gowns
was filing in.
There are the foolish virgins who
didn't fill their lamps" said Raridan;

But they ought to have got their
gowns at the same place. said Miss
Marshall, who was abetting Raridan
in his comments. Miss Warren and
Saxton, on the other side of her, were
taking it all more seriously.

Evelyn's loveliness and dignity. Hel
