CONDENSED STORIES.
How an Irish Jurors Wit Helped the
Defendant.

John 9Carlisle tells a story OF
his early days when he was counsel
for an insurance company in Ken.
tucky, says the New York Herald.
The company had brough> an ac.
ton against the proprietor of a
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 tc
break down the story of the fire
All the articles of the questionel
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, ye 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 te
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 ovel
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"
"Ye win it?" repeated the juror
scornfully. eye win it? Be COB, ]
rayther think l done it myself"

Strikes In Russia.

When strikes occur, there is no
delay in dealing with them. Troops
are modified at once. The printers
in Moscow, for example, struck last
autumn. The strikers marched in
procession along few streets, clam
oring for shorter hours. They COM
planned that they had been COM
PEELED to work overtime and that no
compensation had been given for
the extra labor. General 1'ro"or,
chief of police. issued a notice mat
any man refusing to return to work
would be excluded forever from
Moscow. This stopped the move
ment. Such notices have stopped
similar movements elsewhere. -

A "Slidina" Boat.

Some experiments made on the
Seine recently with remarkable
automobile boat of new type yield
ed surprising results. The boat is
described as a "slider," from the
fact that it really glides upon the
surface of the water, leaving no
wash whatever, and not through
the water. With a motor Of four
teen horsepower the extraordinary
rate of speed Of eighteen miles an
hour was reached on a measured
kilometer The boat is 10 feet 6
inches long by 9 feet 9 inches broad
and is described as "launch,"
though her shape is quite unusual
for that class Of boat. Along the
keel are five inclined planes, the
pressure upon which when the mo-
tor begins to act lifts the bottom of
the boat to the surface. Count C..
de Lambert is the inventor. The
motor is Dion.

There's a craze among us mortals that Is
cruel hard to name,
Wheresoeer you find human you will
find the case the same;
You may seek among the worst of men or
seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling Is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take, for instance, yours and mine.
From the meanest 'me-too" creature to
the leader of the mob.
There's universal craving for "the 9TH
er fellows job"
There are millions of positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each n drudge to him who holds 1t, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer is the
envy Of us all.
Any task you care to mention seems
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
you happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
Envy's heartache and her sob;
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
the other fellows job"
Success.
