Novel and Impressive Scene.

In the supreme cOurt at Jackson was
witnessed the rather novel spectacle of
a litigant arguing his own case. The
transaction which brought DIR. NJ. F.
Rogers to the supreme court involved
the loss Of $1,000 shipped by a Mem
phis bank to a bank at New Albany by
the Southern Express Company. 1t
appears that some days after the money
disappeared, and while the express
agent, Williams, was still under sus-
pension, pending Investigation, young
woman went to DR.. Rogers, who is con-
fdential agent for the Southern Ex-
press Company at New Albany, and in
timated that if he would guarantee her
against prosecution or the party she
was about to implicate as the then pos
SCISSOR of the money, that all the money
would be turned over to him. He as
sured the young woman, who was in
deep distress, that she could depend
upon him. The money was restored
When the grand jury learned of the
affair, and also of DR.. Rogers connec-
ton with it, he was summoned before
that body. He obeyed the summons,
but refused positively to tell or divulge
the secret, as he had given his word
not to do so. He was reported to the
court and a fine of 5000 was imposed
upon him, and from this he appealed.
For certain reasons of his own, DR..
Rogers decided to argue and submit his
own case, and those who heard him will
not soon forget the picture Of the grey
haired and eloquent man pleading with
the court to set aside hat verdict, and
not to hold a man as a convict or an
outlaw for defending his word and the
honor of a Southern woman. He so
impressed Judge Longstreet, who was
present and much interested, that he
voluntarily rose and addressed the
court on the law touching such cases.
Altogether it was n of the most novel
incidents of the supreme court history,
and impressed all, bench and bar alike.

them both since then"
To-day both women feel the weight OF
the shadow upon their lives. Kiley has
told all. And that is where the case
stands now-the case of the three eld-
erly persons-the man well over 60,
each woman over 50-whose loves and
lives have been so sadly tangled.
And now, who shall say that ro-
nance Is only for the young?

toward life's winter. He is to-day GA

for three years he has maintained two
homes, and in each a woman who
thought herself his wife. He married
the second one three years ago when
he believed his first wife dying.
She lived, instead.
Here was a strange quandary for the
man. He had two wives, each appar-
emily married to him by every right of
law. But. let him tell the story him

? New York.-Three men whose re-
cent romantic stories have made their
names household words are Thomas

loved him, and he thought his first
wife dying. Appleton met his affinity
and is now preparing to divorce his
first wife. But most remarkable Of all
is Twitchell. He gave up his bride
his second wife-tO his son, because
ne loved them both, and wanted to
see them happy.
And first, then, this remarkable ro-
nance of the TwitchellS.

try girl who lived in a quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson II.
Twitchel, widower, with a son "a years

He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
gray-haired business man of Sc.
She Wanted to See the World.
He told the ambitious little girl from
Michigan of the pleasures of life in
Chicago. When he asked her to mar
ny him she thought that her desire to
see the world-that is, what OF it that
can be seen in Chicago-Was really
love. So the old man with the grown
UP son and the unsOphisticated little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

personality is obliterated and is lost in
organizations and hierarchies.
In addition to this fundamental prin-
ciple, the Roman Catholic Church and
Judaism show a remarkable similarity
in countless details Of creed and relig-
ious custom, as it is only natural that
they should These details, as far as Ju-
daism is concerned, are best given in the
"Sayings Of the Fathers C'Pirke
Abot'), constituting the most interest
ing part of the Mishnah, the basis Of the
Talmud. The comparison between the
two systems in detail has been made the
subject Of special work by 3. Bishof re-
Gently, in small book entitled, ''Tal-
mud Katekisms' Catechisms Of the
Talmud''), in which great deal Of ma
terial not accessible to the average
reader is made available. In this work
it is pointed out that a remarkable
agreement exists between the two sys-
TENS in question; for example, in the
distinction made between priests and
laymen; in the paramount Importance
assigned to good works, the agreement
extending in a phenomenal degree even
to the terminology; and, farther, in the
doctrine of purgatory, the beginnings of
which are to be found in the Talmud;
as well as in many other particulars,
such as the use made Of Scripture pass
sages and the relative subordinate au-
thority of the Scriptures to the princi-
pie of tradition, and the like.-The Lit
