Circumstantial Evidence.

Sir Henry Hawkins, a brilliant ad.
vocate and one of England's greatest
criminal judges, expresses the follow.
ing opinion in his recently published
"Reminiscences"
Let me say word about circum-
gtantial evidence. Some writer's have
spoken of 1t as a kind of dangerous
innovation in our criminal procedure.
It Is almost the only evidence that is
obtainable in all great crimes, and it
is the best and most reliable. = =
I have witnessed many great trials
for murder, but do not remember one
where there was an eyewitness to
the deed. How is it possible, then,
to bring home the charge to the cul-
prit unless you rely on circumstantial
evidence?
"Circumstantial evidence is the evil
dence of circumstances-facts that
speak for themselves and that cannot
be contradicted. Circumstances have
no motive to deceive, while human
testimony is too often the product of
every kind of motive.-Volume H.,

A Soma of the Plains

Nc harp have. for the singing, nor fin.

Nor ever shall words express IT. the
song that is in my heart,
A saga, swept from the distance, hori-
IONS beyond the hill
Singing Of life and endurance. and
bidding me bear my part.
For this Is Song, as sing it, the song
that I love the best,
The steady tramp in the furroW. the
grind of the cleaning steel,
An anthem sung to the MONDAY, a chant
OF the open West,
Echoing deep, in my spirit, to gladden.
and help and heal.
And this is Life, as I read It, and Life
in its fairest form,
To breathe the wind on the ranges
the scent of the upturned sod.
To stride, and strive, and be thankful, to
weather the shine and storm,
Penciling over the priaries, the destiny
planed by God
And no reward do I ask for save only to
work and wait,
To praise the God of my fathers, to Ia
Dor beneath His sky,
10 dwell alone In His greatness. to strike
and to follow straight,
Silent, and strong, and contented-the
limitless plains and I.

Mysterious Cryptoqran,.


The British Admiralty has obtained
the exclusive use of a new apparatus
which is to be employed in connec-
ton with wireless telegraphy. Pre-
cisely what the invention comprises
is not known, as it is a jealously
guarded secret. It is called cryptic
gram, and is the invention of Swiss
mechanic. It's purpose is to prevent
the interception Of wireless messages,
except by person or station provid-
ed with the same device. The appa-
ratus is stated by the English naval
authorities to be perfect in operation,
since when five Of these instruments
were submitted by them to series of
exacting tests they proved so success
full that the device was procured by
them outrlght.-Scientific American.

SOME oNE.LlNE AUTHORS.

Writers Whose Fame Rests Upon a
Single Book or Quotation.
1t is one of the many odd expert
ences of life that, while some men in
pursuit Of fame write a library Of
books and die and are forgotten, other
men, under some happy inspiration,
write a single line, poem or volume,
and are forever ranked with the i'm
mOrtals.
In some cases immortality goes
a-begging from the modest shrinking
OF an author to claim his offspring,
as in the case Of the oracle who
penned the eloquent word Don't" in
answer to Punch's request for advice
to those about to marry.
Very few read Congreve nowadays,
and fewer still could quote half
dozen lines from any of his poems
and dramas; and yet to many who
have never even heard his name there
are few lines more familiar than the
oft-quoted and misguided, Music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast"
Charles Wolfe, the Irish divine and
poet, wrote many poems of excellence,
but only one redeems him and all his
works from obscurity, and of this few
could get beyond the first line, I'VE
buried him darkly at dead of night"
Thomas Gray has left one legacy
only from all his writings, but that is
an imperishable one-his "Elegy Writ
ten in Country Churchyard," the
most widely quoted poem in our Ian
guage. Yet those who can recite every |
word of it could probably not even
give the name Of a single other poem
by the same writer.
