HOW LINCOLN WON.

The lawyer whose honesty is proved
has the confidence of the judge and
Jury. A story of Abraham Lincoln Is
an Illustration. He was appointed 10
defend one charged with murder The
crime was a brutal one. the evidence
entirely circumstantial. the accused
stranger. Feeling was high and against
the friendless defendant. On the triai
Lincoln drew from the witnesses run
statements of what they saw ana
knew. There was no effort to confuse,
no attempt to place before the jury
the facts other than they were. In the
argument, after calling attention to the
fact that there was no direct testimo-
nv. Lincoln reviewed the circum-
stances and. after conceding that this
and that seemed to point to defend-
ants guilt, closed by saying that he
had reflected much on the case, ana.
while it seemed probable that defend
ant was guilty. he was not sure and.
looking the jury straight In the face.
said, "Are you?" The defendant was
acquitted, and afterward the real GRIM
inal was detected and punished. How
different would have been the conduct
Of many lawyers! Some would have
striven to lead the judge into technical
errors with q view to an appeal to a
higher court. Others would have be-
come hoarse in denuneiation Of wit
nesses, decr~ing the lack of positive
testimony and the marvellous virtue OF
reasonable doubt The simple.
straightforward way Of Lincoln. back

A Hearty Laugh.

Never lose an opportunity for relax
alton from the stress and strain Of
your business or profession. Every
draft OF laughter, Ike an air cushion,
eases you over the jolts and the hard
places on life's highway. Laughter Is
always healthy. It tends to bring ev-
cry abnormal condition back to the
normal. 1t Is a panacea for heartaches.
for LIES bruises It Is life prolong-
u. People who laugh heartily keep
themselves In physical and mental har-
mony and are likely to live longer than
those who take life too seriously.

LIFE DlSGUSTS DOWlE.
Aged Prophet Lay Down to Die Once
But Could Not.

Chicago, June 15.-John Alexander
Dowie, on the witness stand in Judge
Landis' court today, tremblingly begged
for death to relieve him of his sorrows
and his defeats. He declared also that
should he die he would come back to
earth again as Elijah the Restorer.
Dowie, in the course of his testi-
mony, gave the following rules to guide
a man who is about to die: do
things in order-even when you 60 to
die. Don't make a splash and mess OF
it. Go to your death couch and await
the end in calm."
The occasion for the discussion OF
death came when Dowie, fighting for
the ownership of Zion City and re-
claiming possession, which is now in
the hands of Wilbur Il. Voliva, was
telling of his first serious illness as
part OF the testimony on his present
competency to rule the city which he
built. Uowie made the amazing asser-
tion that after he was first stricken he
lay down to die, but awoke two hours
later, alive.
~ was never 90 disgusted as when I
awoke two hours later alive" he said,
"and am still alive and disgusted.
