Earned His Paw.

The late Nanny" Friend thus de-
scribed one phase of the laws myster-
ious workings:
The counsel for the defence told me
this story long after the case was for
gotten. y man was on trial for MUIR
der in small western city. Testimony
of the most incouvertible and damag
ing sort WAS piling up against the ac-
cnsed. Despairingly the prisoners
counsel made his closing speech; in
growing misery he listened while the
prosecution ruthlessly rent asunder his
fragile fabric OF defense and while the
Judge summed up strongly against
his client.
"As the jury filed out the verdict of
murder in the first degree seemed
stamped on their faces The prisoners
counsel managed to whisper to the fore
man in passing
Five hundred dollars if you make
it manslaughter
"for two interminahle hours the Jury
remained closeted. At last they filed
in and the foreman glibly handed up
the desired 'manslaughter' verdict.
81 tell you y exclaimed the foreman
later, as lie pocketed the defense's five
hundred dollars, Il had lot of trouble
earning that cash. The other eleven
all held out for acquiltal, and it was a
couple OF hours before | could talk
them around to Granddaughter !"' ~

WAS QUITE ROMANTIC
Happy Marriage OF owen Cooley and
Grace Koran

Happy Marriage OF owen Cooley and
Grace Koran
According to the write up of the event
in the Chicago American there is little
romance which is quite interesting in the
marriage Of Mr. Owen Cooley and Miss
Grace Koran, which took place a week
ago last Saturday in ST. Joseph The
bride is Chicago girl and was member
of the chorus in the Isle OF the Bon Bon
Company.
The story goes that Owen met her at
Paw Paw Lake, they were both in bath
ing. she got beyond her depth and was
about to drown. when he rescued her.
Love at first sight entered the hearts OF
each and they we're married. although in
doing SO she discarded an ardant old lover
who was worth millions.
Miss Horan's mother who lives in Chi
cago didn't like it but has forgiven and
forgotten. The bride and groom are
happy. Mr., Cooley is manager Of the
Peck & Hills branch furniture store in
Grand Rapids and they will reside there.

FORMS OF DISEASE GERMS.
Harmless Varieties May Suddenly
Change Their Nature.

Harmless Varieties May Suddenly
Change Their Nature.
II is common belief that the germs
of disease flourish only in the human
organism, and that, if we could once
eradicate an infectious malady, 1t
would stay eradicated. II now seems
very probable that this is untrue Ac-
cording to a view held wholly or par
TALLY by many Psychologists, and
strongly upheld by Prof. Bodin, dis
ease germs are only accidentally viru-
lent, their normal existence being
what is called "saprophytic," that is,
independent of ny other organism.
When one Of the sc harmless varieties
changes its nature so as to become
parasitic, we have new disease. OBJ
servation has shown that many kinds
Of bacteria are very unstable, and are
constantly forming new varieties. 1t
is possible, therefore, that potential
germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or con.
sumption may be growing harmlessly
about us, to assume, a virulent para
site life at some future time.-Lon-
don Lancet.

DROWNED OUT TIE WHISTLE.
Bandmaster Saw But One Way to
Achieve Victory.

Sousa was once conducting a con-
cert, and was so engrossed in extract
ing from his organization the sweet,
soft notes of an oriental love song A
loud and prolonged blast came from
steamboat on the Allegheny river
Instantly the directors baton was d.
rected toward the disturbing whistle,
as thought he would have more dull
Get tone from the offender. Instead
he received a more deafening response
from the huge steam whistle. The
disguised conductor now turned to-
ward his musicians, and, with vio-
lent waving of his arms, brought
forth such a roar from the drums and
brasses that If there was any further
demonstration on the part of the
steamboat 1t was not heard In the
music hall.
At the conclusion of the concert
Sausa said to one of the directors:
"The only way to overcome that

more powerful one"

therefore saw that this was one of it's
natural effects, as several physicians
have often remarked" After a daily
practice of tea drinking for twenty
seven years Wesley left II off. The

Andrew Pinkham, well known
farmer of North Monmouth, Me-, one
OF the towns solid men, and at one

was holding the plow. Amsa was
driving, and my father was having
general oversight of the job. II was
very rocky ground. | was rather stout

II is noticeable that the Bible class
over which young Mr. Rockefeller pre-
sides in the fashionable months Of
New York life dwindles to inconsider-

regarded by the young millionaire's
friends as indicating that he is a SUI

the belief that the increased attend
