keen.Nipper Case Today

The Keen-Nipper case in which
plaintiff sues to recover $4,000 as pro-
fits from an alleged investment in
sheep, Is still dragging along slowly
In the federal court. This morning the
cross-eXamination of defendant was
completed, after which the defense in
troduced certain witnesses who gave
expert testimony concerning the letters
offered In evidence, the authority of
part of which has been disputed,
Frank Il. McGurrin was the first
of such witnesses to take the stand and
he was examined at length in this con-
nection The witness testified that the
statements concerning money and part
nership had been inserted by some
one other than Mr.. Nipper as such
statements We're not in his handwrit
ing. MI McGurrin admitted that the
changes were in some instances very
cleverly done, but when placed under
the glass they became very apparent
and would not stand the test of critical
examination The forgerles, he said,
We're made slowly and with great de-
liberation, whereas Mr.. Nipper's writ
ing was done rapidly and In scrawly
hand.
W. +. Adams, cashier Of the National
Bank of the Republic, gave similar tes-
timony and was on the stand when

A Wonderful Dream.

1t was in the days of Philip the Good,
duke of Burgundy, that n cobbler
mounted q royal throne. AS the duke
was travelling one night to Bruges he
came upon a man stretched upon the
ground sound asleep. and bade his at
tendants carry him to the palace, strip
of his rags and place him, robed in
fine linen, in his own bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as your highness"
and astounded to find himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince, but
a poor cobbler; they asked him what
clothing he would wear, and at last
conducted him. splendidly dressed, TO
mass in the ducal chapel. Every cere-
mony was observed throughout the
day, the cobbler appeared in public In
his new role, was received on all sides,
by command of the duke, with deep re-
spect, and ended his brief reign in the
palace with a grand supper and ball.
When presently he fell asleep he was
reclothed In his rags and taken TO the
spot where he had been found when
this practical joke was conceived.
Waking in due time he returned home
and related TO his wife what he took to
be his wonderful dream.

Cuba Doing Well.

The settlement of the Isle of Pines
question between the United States
and Cuba has been generous and rea-
sonable. The island is a natural ap-
pendage to Cuba, and all interests
are closely connected with the lat
ter. Cuban pride will be gratified
by the acquisition of the Isle of
Pines, and the United States would
have gained nothing of any impor-
tance by keeping a small island
which offers no advantages for naval
purposes equal to those which have
been secured otherwise in the West
Indies.
AS is, the American republic has
continued its course of Hberality and
justice toward Cuba, and this is good
time to emphasize the fact that the
Cuban experiment appears to be
working far better than man. of the
best informed Observers, here and in
other countries, believe that it would.
The latest vital statistics show that
the health of Cuba is being maintain
ed at the standard established during
American rule, and the most notable
feature of the situation is the fact
that the treasury of the Cuban repub-
lie has good surplus, and all govern
ment obligations are being met with
out delay. This whole picture of
prosperity and contentment is one of
the agreeable surprises which show
that human nature can prove better
than it is expected to be. The object
lesson ought to strengthen the faith
and simulate the pride of all Latin
American nations. Clevland Leader.
