Query Has the victim any redress
in ease like the following:
4 man, ostensibly in business, keeps
store here in town. He moves owing
the landlord two months rent, after
having abused the premises and dam
aged the building to the extent of some
$40 or $l5. IIe refuses to pay the rem L
due; says he has nothing to do with
it.; that everything he owns is in his
wife's name. He also refuses to pay
for his advertisement in a certain
newspaper, which he put in the paper
himself. He says the business rs his
wife's and has turned everything over
to her, although he carries it ON in his
own name. An honest man--the land
lord, and the owner of the paper, are
each made the victims of this dupe.
Is there no justice, no redress? Is
law made for the scoundrel and not
for the honest man who thinks and
believes other men are honest?

The Examiner of Oct. 20 says:
A mystery OF the sea, as sinister az

to light by the inquiry to establish tho
responsibility for the grounding Of the
Mongolia on Midway island last

In the mass of contradictions when the

Frequently during the proceedings
II appeared as " there would be a

that he could not understand why, dur

ficers under him had changed their at.

been nothing but loyalty, the manager
Of the company walked the floor In his
agitation while he demanded that the
captain explain his words. 1T is an

LINcoLN'S WEAPON.
How He Employed Ridicule for His
 Clients Benefit.

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln weap- OnS of otfense and defense, and he probably laughed more jury cases out of court than any other man who ever practiced at the bar.
 T once heard MT. Lincoln defend man in Bloomington against q charge of passing counterfeit moncy' Vice President Stevenson told tec writer. There was a pretty clear case against the accused, but when the chief witness for the people took the stand he stated that his name was J. Parker Green, and Lincoln reverted to this the mo- ment he rose to cross s-eXamine. Why J. Parker Greene? What did that J. stand for? John? Well, why didn't the witness call himself John P. Green? That was his name, wasn't it? Well. what was the reason he didn't wish to be Known by his right name? Did J. Parker Green have anything to conceal, and if not, why did J. Parker Green part his name in that wayY And so oi VI COuTSe, tuc WHOlc cAullliuuliou was farcical," Mir. Stevenson continued, but there was something irresistibly funny in the varying tones and nhec- tions of Mir. Lincoln's voice as he rang tine changes upon the mans name and at the recess the very boys in the street took up the slogan and shouted J. Par ker Greenn all over the town. More over, there was something in Lincoln's way of mtoning his questions which made me suspicious of the witness. and to this day 1 have never been able to rid my mind of the absurd impression that there was something not quite right about J. Parker Green. It was all nonsense of course, but the jury must have been affected as I was, for Green was discredited and the defend ant went free"
