LIKE AN UNBLAZED TRAIL.
Intricate Plea at the Bar Of Justice
That Was Too Deep for
the Judge.

Soon after the late Gilman Marston. OF
New Hampshire, had been admitted TO
the bar civil suit was brought Ia him.
1t involved a somewhat complicated uues-
ton OF inheritance, says the Boston Her
aid. But the young man, in no way
daunted, took the case, looked up author
tiles all the way back TO Julius Caesar,
and prepared an argument of few hum
dred pages which seemed to him unan-
swerabe. His only fear was that lt
might be beyond the comprehension of
the court.
When his case was called Mr. Marston
rose with inward assurance and plunged
in boldly. The Judge seemed interested
and he took heart But at the end #
an hour and half, in the midst of the
most Intricate part Of his plea, he was
panied to see what locked like a lack Of
attention on the part of the court
1t was as he had feared; the Judge
was unable to appreciate the nice points
of his argument

THE POLITICAL STRIKE
Russian Authorities Bewildered
by Strikers Strength.
Vigorous Offensive Campaign Against
Revolutionary Leaders Is BEING
Made-Measures Taken To
Prevent Disorders.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 23.-It is diff
cult to judge whether the general po-
Htical strike can be ranked as a sue
cess or failure. The authorities are
bewildered by the strength of the
strikers and the strike has reached
formidable proportions in St Peters
burg, where, even according 20 the Of
hcials, over a third of the workmen
obeyed the order OF the Workmen's
Council. The strike leaders are CON
fidently asserting that the others will
be brought into line Immediately. The
government, however, has succeeded
in keeping railroad traffic out OF st.
Petersburg moving with reasonable
regularity.
The scanty dispatches received
from the interior do not indicate
whether the order to strike is meet
ing with a general response. which
will be necessary to prevent it flash
ing in the pan like the November
strike.
The government, while entering on
a vigorous campaign against the revo-
lutionary leaders and making arrests
by the wholesale, maintains an air OF
calm confidence. 1t has issued a reas-
surfing communication declaring that
all necessary measures have been Ia
ken TO prevent disorders.
The poletariat organizations are
marshalling all their forces. The pre-.
va ling impression is that with the
limited funds at the disposition of the
unions, the strike must spread rapidly
and enter a new and more violent
phase or the game will be lost by the
revolutionaries.
General December" and General
Hunger" are powerful allies on the
side OF the emperor at the present time
just as they were in the fight against
Napoleon and it is thought that the
leaders will not be able to hold their
men in line unless an immediate VIC
tory is scored or a conflict forced and
bloodshed.
In Moscow the striking railroad men
and the lower classes, like the cab
drivers, who see the bread taken from
their mouths by the strike, are already
at each others threats.

1t is almost incredible, yet it is
true, that, because of recent dis
closures affecting the great lfe-insur-
ance companies, thousands of policy
holders have permitted their policies
TO lapse. A sort OF panic seems to
have seized upon them, and it has
been far more costly to them than
to the insurance companies. In many
instances new insurance can never be
obtained. and in all cases the policy
holder has sacrificed the advantages
which accumulate with time.
