CLEVER TRICK THAT WON.

Ruse.

Ambitious Youth Sold HIS verses by
Ruse.
Many years ago, writes Mr.. Thomas
Bailey Aldrich in "Ponkapog Papers"
a noted Boston publisher used to keep
large memorandum book on a table
in his private Office. The volume al
ways lay open, and was in no manner
a private affair, being the receptacle
Of nothing more important than has
tily scrawled reminders to attend tc
this thing or the other.
1t CHANGED one day that very
young, unfedged author, passing
through the city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor of a
famous magazine. The unfledged had
a copy of verses secreted about his
person. The publisher was absent and
young Milton sat down and waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem
orandum book, lying there spread out
like morning newspaper, and almost
in spite of himself he read, Don't for
get to see the binder" Don't forget
to mail e. his contract" Don't forget
HIS proofs" and so forth.
An inspiration seized upon the
youth. He took a pencil and at the
tail of this long list of don't forgets'
he wrote, Don't forget to accept A. s
poem"
He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared. That afternoon when
the publisher glanced over his memor
anda he was not little astonished
at the last item; but his sense of hui.
NOR was so strong that he did accept
the poem-it required a strong sense
of humor to do that-and sent the lad
a check for it, although the verses re-.

There must be some motive shown
for the supposition of such an act as
murder What motive can be shown
here? Certainly not that of robbery.
The horse of the missing man came
back alone, its lariat dragging, as We
shall prove. 1t had not been ridden
since the lariat was broken. You all
know, as we shall prove. that this man
Juan was never known to ride horse.
We shall prove that he walked sixty
miles, to the very spot where the
horse had been tied, and that he
scorned to touch horse on his whole
journey. He wanted no horse. He
stole no horse. That was no motive.
ITO be subject to the law, as you
very well know, a man must be NOR
ally responsible. He must know right
and wrong. l shall show to you that
when this man was a child he was
struck a severe blow upon the head
and that since that time he has never

able degree, but of reason he has
little or none. He can not tell you
why he does thus or so. This l shall
prove to you.
II ask you. gentlemen of the Jury
you who hold this mans life in your
hands. are you going to hang a man
for murder when it is not shown a
murder has been done? And would
you hang man who is more ignorant
than child of right or wrong? Is
that fair play? Gentlemen, we are all
here together, and one of us is as good
as another. Our ambitions are the
same. We stand here together fol-

Franklin's heart sank. He dreaded

session that night at the Cottage bar,
and perhaps it might not adjourn until

To Keep Ferns Fresh.

There Is a new way to care for
ferns that has been found very sue
cessful. Once week they must
have Turkish bath. Put tSem In
the bathroom, shut the windows and
doors to exclude every particle of air.
Then fill the bathtub with scalding
water and allow the plants to steam
for three or four hours.
The room should be gradually
cooled before the plants are removed
to a cooler atmosphere. This process
does away entirely with the laborious
work of washing and spraying the
leaves and is much more satisfactory.
