health a long time and his death was
not unexpected. In his death is re-

SHUT OUT OF SOCIETY.
And There Was No Chance of His Ever

A friend of Frank R. Stockton tells OF
an occasion when the humorist, who was
as a rule extremely ayerse to social
functions of any nature. was induced to
attend a literary" dinner in Washing

in honor Of a well-known Indiana novel
list. relates the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Stockton had taken in to dinner
the sister-in-law of his host. She was
an excellent woman, but anything but
literary"
The conversation touching upon the
beauties of Omar Khayyam. a spirited
discussion Of the Persian poet ensued,
during which the bewildered woman
from the west caught from time TO time

Turning to Mr. Stockton the sister-in-
law asked:

Why, madam" replied the humorist,
gravely, that man did something that
forever shuts him out of societyl"

dame. 'and what was that?"
He died some 500 years ago replied
Stockton, smilingly.

RECORD-BREAKING RUN.
Minute for Every Minute Gained
over the Schedule.

There Is a little story connected with
the recOrd-breaking run of the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to
Los Angeles. in less than So hours,
which is not generally known.
Il is related that Mr.. Lowe offered
the engineer who hauled the train from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles-on the
home-streteh of 60 miles-the sum of
$50 minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at 50-second clip for
each mile to Pasadena. but had to slow
down in the suburbs Of Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, just 62 minutes after leaving San
BernardinO. gaining nine minutes on the
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn
ing $3.50 extra pin money.
The Santa Fe passenger department
will soon publish a pamphlet giving full
details of the swift flight of the Lowe
special, which in several instances ex-
ceeded 80 miles an hour. An average of
nearly 43 miles an hour was maintained.

scOTLAND's GREAT CANAL.
Miles and Cost $4,000, 900 big
Engineering Feat.

AS was recently stated in cable dis
patch, the plans for the construction Of
a ship canal between the Firth of Forth,
on the east of Scotland, across to the
River Clyde, on the west, have been
definitely arranged The canal will cost
$50, 100000. but powerful support is ex-
pected from the British government
One of the great engineering features
of the scheme will be the carrying of the
canal near the Loeb Lomond end. Ere
Quent passing places will be made.
An indication of the saving in dis
lance that would be effected by the
canal, says an exchange, will be gained
from the following figures: From the
Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scot
land, northeast Of England, and north
west of Europe the distance saved
would be from 529 miles to 23s miles
From the Firth of Forth to ports on the
west coast of Scotland, northwest Of
England, Ireland, America and the Med
iterranean the distance saved would be
from zS7 to III miles. From Tyne
ports to the 81. Lawrence river the dis
lance saved would be $50 miles From
the west of Britain and northeast
Of Ireland to middle western ports OF
the continent the distance saved would
be from 377 TO IS miles.

MODERN DRAwINGRooMs.
They show n New Era of Simplicity
and True Artistic Sense
in the Home.

How different is the drawing-room
now from that Of a generation ago
even of half a generation! Writers in
the women's newspapers in England are
commenting on the fact with keen ap-
probation Of the change, and in this
country 1t is even more in evidence than
across the sea, says the New York Sun.
The wax fruits, the wooden an
timacassars Of the last generation
passed away with the stuffed birds and
the wealth Of artificial orange blossoms
under glass cases long ago. The pres
ent generation has almost forgotten
them.
1t does remember better the chenille
monkeys that used to climb over the
gas fixtures on the walls. the yards upon
yards Of art muslin that used TO be
turned over chairs and flower pots, and
,he sofas that came. in when the horse
hair period expired. And it regrets
them and the array OF japanese plates
on the wall even less.

ton has passed.

them to the cOnyeniences of the present.

CRIMINALS DEFENsEs.

''The world" said one Of the most
distinguished criminal lawyers at the
Chicago bar the other day, relates the
Tribune, ''has moved in everything ex-
cept defenses. Ny meaning is not

or four hundred years, the only class

better made now than they used to be.
Criminals know their trade better, but
once let them fall into the hands Of
the police and they are as helpless as
they would have been had they been
arrested during the nineteenth or even
the eighteenth century.
"The only three defenses that are
used to any extent are those shopworn
ones, the alibl. mistaken identity and
insanity. Sit in any OF the court
rooms in the criminal court building
on the North side and listen to the de-
lenses that are made

prisoner is guilty. How does be de-

he vas not at the place where the
crime was committed, or he puts in
the plea Of insanity, or he tries to
prove that the witnesses against him
should not believe their own eyes and
that they took somebody else for him.
Judges on the bench have told me
they would be startled out Of their
composure If a professional criminal
was to try any other defense.
The alibi is the favorite. 1t is
saying in one part Of town that a good
alibi can be bought for $3.50 Perhaps
it is its cheaDness that recommends 1t,
but we lawyers are surprised that no
new defenses are ever conceived"

PREACHER IN FOX CHASE.
His Church EXCLAMATION Was to All
Appearances Understood
by the Hounds.

Some years ago Rev. William Luns-
ford was the pastor OF Baptist church
at Bowling Green, Ky, and he was
popular with the community. for, be-
sides being an earnest and eloquent
preacher he was fond Of an occasional
chase Of the willy red fox, and with
the fine pack OF dogs owned by the
kennel club he was enabled to crafty
his tastes whenever he desired, says
the Chicago Chronicle. The good doc
tor In his church services frequently
led the singing of some old familiar
hymn full of melody and inspiration
and he had the habit when announcing
a hymn of raising his right hand high
above his head in persuasive invitation
to the congregation TO all join in the
singing, and with his hand high up
would exclaim when he was ready to
start the hymn, Everybody" and
with the exclamation everybody who
could master a note of concord or dis
cord would join In with whole-souled
willingness that made the walls or
the old church resound with melody
that found its way to the courts above.
Judge Delaney. who generally chap
sroned DR.. Lunsford in his fox ehases,
says they were out one night when ma
ture was in her happiest moods and
with a fine pack of dogs, a trail was
soon struck and in a few minutes the
pack was going at full cry in a bend
of the river six miles around. The
dogs soon passed out of hearing, the
Judge drifting off to a place where he
was sure the fox had doubled on its
track and the pack scattered. Very
soon one of the pack came In hearing
and rapidly was pursuing reynard In
the direction where the doctor was last
seen. The other dogs were beginning
TO come in hearing on the hot trail OF
the fox being pursued by the single dog
and the Judge turned his gallop down
where the doctor was awaiting the re-
turn Of the exciting music the pack
was giving when they went out OF
hearing into the river bend.
The Judge rode around sharp de-
clivity and came up unobserved close
to where the doctor was tiptoeing in
his stirrups listening to the sharp. ex-
cited mouthings of the single hound as
he holly pursued the fox Just then
the main pack begun TO draw near and
the doctor. rising TO the utmost Of his
stirrup feathers, raising his right hand
high above his head, sung out, Every

the preacher knew what was wanted
and they closed up the gap between
them and the single dog and soon had
reynard running for life and the
preacher delighted that his church
lingo was thoroughly understood by
his fieet-footed friends of the kennel.
SO It has come to pass in Bowling

WOMEN LAWYERS IN FRANCE.
Coed Results on Manners of
Opposing Advocates.

Since the Paris bar has been open to
women, not a few members Of the fair
sex have taken advantage Of the new
privilege accorded 20 them to plead at
the Palais de Justice, says an ex-
change.
The pioneer in this direction was
Nile. Chauvin, whose debut as ''adyo-
cate" excited a great deal Of attention,
and whose presence in the cap and
gown made a great sensation at the
paiais. Her debut. moreover, had the
effect of setting the fashion among
Parisiennes of wearing the white cravat
of the French lawyers. Since Mile.
Chauvin's debut in 1899 curiosity has
died ont to a great extent, and no bad
effects OF the law have been noticed. l.
is even possible that, If the good re-
suits could have been anticipated, the
law would have passed the chambers by
unanimous vote, instead of by 3l9 to
IA AS a rule, women lawyers have
had men as their opponents at the bar,
and one could imagine himself in a
sort of judicial salon, If compliments
and gallant speeches we're the criterion.
But the other day two women law
yers found themselves antagonists in a
case. 1t was funny to see the embar-
rassment of the judges. for each lawyer
did her best to captivate the bench.
UnhapDily the bench could not get out
Of the scrape by awarding the victory to
both sides, so the chivalrous judges took
refuge under a well-known formula and
