TIE Way He Made HIS Opponent Win
q Case For Him.
Lord Brampton, a famous English
Cross examiner, told a story of how he
once won a case on a technical ground
when he had no defense. He forced a
magistrates clerk to be put into the
witness box by the prosecution to
prove a purely formal matter. Now,
having got him there, he cross exam
ined him and made him practically
admit that he 'led his magistrates by
the nose;" to admit also that they had
refused bail by his advice and that a
Judge at chambers had afterward
granted 1t, although the witness had
come up all the way from London to
aminer, "You were in the room, sir,
and did you not hear the learned judge
say there was not a rag of a case
against my unhappy clientY' The
prosecuting counsel objected, and it
was ruled out. But the jurors had
heard 1t and had heard the answer
stopped. The dissatisfaction thus ad
duced In their minds made them acquit
the prisoner. Leaving the court that
day, the prisoners counsel asked his
opponent, why did you object to that
question: The latter Indignantly
protested that his adversary when he
asked it must have known that 1t
could not be put. YES. I did," was the
answer: "but l knew you, too, and
felt sure that you would object at the
right time. But you should have wait.

DAWSON FAVQRS
AMENDMENTS

Washington. Mar. 18-Goyernor
w. NJ. O Dawson, Of West Virginia,
IS in Washington to take up several
matters relating 10 the railroads Of
West Virginia with the census Office
He disguised various matters with
Senator Elkins aud Senator Scott
yesterday.
Governor Dawson, in speaking of
the railroad situation in West Vir-
ginia. said that he does not think
that the Hepburn rate bill reaches
the peculiar conditions which obtain
in West Virginia.
I'VE have peculiar conditions in
West Virginia. said he, Esand' we
need LEGISLATION to reach them, I
thing that the amendments which
Senator Elkins has introduced would
If enacted into law, provide an ade-
quate remedy for the evils that exist
in West Virginia"
1t was suggested TO him that the
claim had been maderthat the Elkins
amendment would be held unconsti-
tutional.
ooh, yes, it Is easy to make
claims, but the courts do not hold
every law unconstitptional which its
opponents have declared to be 50.
Governor Dawson showed plainly
that he l. in sympathy with Senator
sI1lkins in his effort to amend the
Hepburn bill so as to afford a rem
edy for the abuses discussed in his
famous letter to Senator Tilln,in.

WHY NOT BEGIN?

Whether or not the good roads
movement in this county is to be d
hot-air proposition depends on The
SORT of action to be taken at once.
if the matter j. 70 die With the de-
parture Of the National Good Roads
party. one may rightly conclude that
50 far as this county was concerned.
it was indeed hot AIR. The Morgan
town Chronicle has tlie right ideas
on the subject, and they are repro
duced as follows for not only the
Harrison County Good Roads ASSOC
citation. but also for all The people.
Of the county, with The hope those
ideas may be put into actual prae-
lice and demonstration here:
..Goyemor Dawson has approved
by proclamation tle good roads
movement and particularly the Stale
meeting to be held in Wheeling on
March IA and Is. The whole State
Is becoming interested. The need
of roads has long been known to all,
and how the way to obtain them
seems possible. No opposition APP
pears in any of the newspapers, but
with one voice they sound the tid-
ings that we can have highways if
we will. 1t is remarkable that no
county, and no section Of country,
that has built good roads, has ever
regretted it. The consensus oil
opinion is that the money was wise
" and safely invested. 1t is also
worthy of remark that when a few
miles Of good highway have been
built in county, the people never
stop until such roads reach all the
principal settlements.
E'Monongalia is about to begin.
If the city will build the first mile,
the county will build the next. BY
all means let the people Of Morgan
town do it. The investment will be
one of the best that could be made.
Open the way for the country people
TO get into town A beginning is
what is wanting. Road building
will then be like writing poetry as
Byron described it when he said
IT to begin was the most difficult
their, except TO stop.
e.Our county court is willing, but
it must be backed by the sentiment
of the people. We cannot sit idle
and expect our court TO build these
roads; the people must do it, They
must clear the way, provide the SEN
timent, furnish the sincws of war,
and we can depend on our county
court to do its part. Let the begin
ming be made

A Quaint and Curious Document
Worth Reading.

Several years ago Charles Louns-
berry, Chicago lawyer, who at one
time ranked high in his profession,
died, an insane patient in the Cook
county asylum. Although this man
died absolutely destitute and penniless,
he left the following will" which is
quoted in part:
Il, Charles LOunsberry, being of
sound and disposing mind and memory
do hereby make and publish this, my
last will and testament, in order, as
justly as may be, to distribute my in
terest in the world among succeeding
men.
Item: leave to children exclusive
ly, but only for the term of their child
hood, all and every flower of the
fields and the blossoms of the woods,
with the right to play among them
freely according to the customs of
children, warning them at the same
time against thistles and thorns.
And | leave to children the long,
long days to be merry, in a thousand
ways, and the night, and the moon,
and train of the milky way to wonder
at, but subject, nevertheless, to the
rights hereafter given to lovers.
Item: | devise to boys Jointly, all
the useful idle fields and commons,
where ball may be played; all pleasant
waters where one may swim; all snow
clad hills where one may coast, and all
streams and pounds where one may fish,
and where, when grim winter comes,
one may skate, to have and to hold
these same for a period of their boy
hood.
Item: To lovers l devise their
world, with whatever they
may need, as the stars of the sky, the
red roses by the well, the bloom of the
hawthorn. the sweet strains of music,
and aught else they may desire to
figure to each other the lastingness and
beauty of their love.
Item: To young men, jointly de-
wise and bequeath all boisterous. in
spring sports of rivalry, and | give to
them the disdain of weakness and IN
daunted confidence in their own
Item: To our loved ones with
snowy crowns / bequeath the happiness
of old age, the love and gratitude of
their children until they Sleep"
