How an Irish Jurors Wit Helped the
Defendant


Defendant
John G. Carlisle tells a story of
his early days when he was counsel
for an insurance company in Ken
tuck,, says .i.s Kew York Herald.
The company had brought an ac-
ton against the proprietor of
small dry goods store which had
been destroyed by fire under rather
suspicious circumstances.
The proprietor was put on the
stand, and Mr.. Carlisle, in his ca
pacity as counsel, undertook during
the course of cross examination to
break down the story of the FIRE
All the articles of the questioner
were, however, of no avail, for the
proprietor stuck to his tale and
there seemed to be little hope of dis
crediting the testimony offered by
him.
The defendant was about to leave
the box, when an Irishman, who
had been following the testimony
with i'll concealed impatience, shout
ed out in stentorian tones:
$50, me man, whin you'd sit fire
to the store, We ran away, heh ?"
At this the unfortunate trades
man became visibly embarrassed,
suffered and spluttered and finally.
under the renewed questioning of
Mr.. Carlisle, who was not slow to
follow up the advantage afforded by
the Celt's unexpected outburst, the
proprietor virtually admitted his
guilt, whereupon his conviction
speedily ensued.
When the proceedings were over
Mr.. Carlisle sought out the Irish
juror, whom he complimented on his
ready wit. But" said he, '.my
friend, how did you come to put that
question: 1t certainly enabled me
to win the case"
eye win it?" repeated the juror
scornfully. eye win it7 Be COB, l
rsyther think l done it myself.s

REMEMBER THE LITTLE ONES.

Like life, Christmas day is what we
make of 1t, the outward expression of
inward impulses The Times-Repub-
lican wishes the world merry Christ
mas, and wishes each individual that
impulse of the spirit which makes him
self and others happy on Christmas
day. 1t is time Of feasting and friend
ship, Of family reunions and human
kindness. If there has been envy,
or hatred, or unkindness in our hearts
Christmas is the time to bury and for
get it all, to renew old ties and make
new ones; for neighbors to be more
neighborly, relatives to be more broth
erly, and families more devoted. II we
have been poor all the year, let us be
rich on Christmas. If we have been
stingy, let one day be given to gener-
osity, and set one day in the year above
the sord1d and the commonplace.
Welcome the Christmas spirit Of
good will and brotherhood which lends
us AStSOA W l3tS PSOASSs AtASS-A
and puts priceless value on the
cheapest gift. And forget not char
ity.
The cover picture Of the current
Christmas number of great illus.-
trated periodical was given to the sug-
gestion Of charity. It represented a
beautiful child dressed in furs and
laden with purchases passing Christ
mas show window. She was the cy-
uosure Of the gaze Of a half dozen
ragged little children whose hopeless
attitude and hungry eyes held all the
artist meant to express. The picture
was a pathetic appeal to human char
ity. It startled the thoughtless and
accused the sordid.
Let all remember the poor and es-
pecially the children whose Christmas
happiness is in the keeping of the
charitable. Remembering that the
Master claimed all children for His
kingdom and that charity is queen of
all virtues, remember the little child
rem of the poor. For inasmuch as
