A PATHETIC SCENE.

Fort Smith, June 23.-Last
evening during the argu ments in
the trial Of Oliver Burnett, charg-
ed with murder, a most pathetic
scene occurred. James Johnson,
for the defense, was closing his
arguments when he lost control
of himself and turning suddenly
to Col, Cravens, his associate in
the defense, exclaimed in an i'm
passioned tone: "My God, Col,
Cravens, can't you convince the
jury that | have told the truth ?
DO prove to them thatI have told
the truth, SO that they scan turn
the boy loose to return to his old
mother" !" AS he turned away
the tears streamed down his
cheeks. The mother, an old and
fraiI woman, was so overcome
that she slipped from her chair
to her knees, buried her face in
her sons lap, and extending her
hands to his breast patted him
affectionately, the while moaning
and wailing out her poignant
grief.
The members Of the jury bowed
their heads, and there was asus-
picious communion between the
hands and the eyes, while those
within and without the bar broght
their handkerchiefs into requisi-
ton.

There Was A Limit.

An Irishman one day went into
the shop of a barber to get shaw
ed. After being properly seated
and the lather about naif applied,
the barber was called to an ad-
Joining room where he was de-
tained for some time. The barber
had in the shop, as a pet, a mon
key which was continually I'M
itating its master. AS soon as
the latter left the room, the mon
kew grabbed the brush and pro-
ceeded to finish lathering the
Irishman's face. After doing
this, he took a razor from its case
and stroped it and then turned to
the Irishman to shave him,
"Shtop that!" said Pat. "4e
can tuck the towel in me neck,
can put the soap on me face, but,
begorrah, yer fathers got to

Somebody has made figures on
what John D. Rockefeller will be
worth when he dies, at the pres
ent rate of increase in his fortune.
But what about Rockefeller
after he dies? He will be as dead
as the pauper in the potter's field;
the grass will grow no greener
over his grave than that OF the
man who never had enough ac-
cumulation to fill a vest pocket;
the birds will sing no sweeter DER
his last resting place than over
the tomb Of the humblest washer
woman in the land, and it is par
ticularly doubtful if he gets as
near the Great White Throne as

tributed to the Standard Oil mil
