SOME AMUSING INCIDENTS OF A
RECENT LONDON TRIAL.

LONDON, Macrh Ain his book on
Lovely Woman" Mr.. Crosland expressed
a wish that all women were widows. In a
travesty on this publication, entitled Love
ly Man," the author, Mr.. Farrow, said
IF all married men were like Mr.. Cros-
land widowhood, one would imagine would
undoubtedly be by far the happier state for
their wives
Consequently Mr.. Crosland brought an
action for libel in Justice Daring's court
against the author and against Messrs.
Skeftington & Co, the publishers. The
plaintiff alleged that the author meant that
the plaintiffs character, temper and dis
position were such as to render the life of
his wife a burden, which would be allevi-
ated by his death, and that he was man
unfit for married life, and calculated to
make the life of his wife or of any other
woman miserable"
Mr.. Crosland did not go into the witness
box, but extracts from his books were read
by Mr.. Gil, K. c.:
Some Severe Arrangements.
It takes a woman to throw vitriol and to
run baby farm. Most women are bad
They cannot keep their hands from picking
and stealing.
The judge turned to witness. a solic-
itor's clerk, and asked: do you know
whether the man who wrote that chapter
had mother?'
There was no answer.
Mr.. Gil read other extracts from Lovely
Woman" in which 1t was said that at ten
years of age the female was faithless,
spiteful, greedy, mercless, unruly and il
logical, and al twenty the same, only more
cunning and more commercial. Then,
again, II loyalty were required, one must
not go to a woman for 1T.
His lordship: IT that he says of wo-
man that they 'reek of Rtmmel.' What
does that mean?'
Mr.. Gilt do not know
Later on the writer says that he does not
allow women in his house because they
steal things. 80.

returning to court they were divided in the

The Quality That Counts.

From success.
The great prizes OF life do not fall to the
most brilliant, to the cleverest TO the
shrewdest. to the most long headed, or to
the best educated. but to the most level
headed men. to the men of soundest judg-
ment. When a man is wanted for a re-
sponsible position his shrewdness Is not
considered so important as his sound judg-
ment. Reliability Is what is wanted. Can
a man stand without being tripped and IL
he is thrown. can he land upon his feet7
Can he be depended upon. relied upon I'm
der all circumstances to do the right thing,
the sensible thing? Has the man a level
head? Has he good horse sense? Is he
liable to fly off on tangent or to go OF
half-cocked? Is he "faddyT' Has he
wheels In his head?" Does he lose his
temper easily. or can he control himself?
If he can keep a level head under all cir
cumstances. IL he cannot be thrown OF his
balance. and Is honest. he Is the man
wanted.
