Circumstantial Evidence.

it Is not necessarily great elo-
quence or wisdom that gives a law
yer influence over mems minds; the
happy knack of telling a homely
story with a point" at just the
suspicious moment has saved many
a losing side. The worldwide eX-
emplar of this is, of course, Abra-
ham Lincoln, but he has had null
titude of followers.

was once defending n young man
from the charge of larceny. Tho
evidence against him was purely cir
cumstantial, but strong. Vast claim

The Dead Came To Life.

A remarkable case OF the dead re-
turning TO life was furnished by John
A. Hall. a railroad man, who came
here from Sabetha, Kans.. recently,
to look for work. He dropped un-
conscious in the yards and was found
apparently dead. He was taken 70
the morgue and left on a table all
night.
The coroner decided upon post
norton to determine the cause OF
death and left his assistant to do the
work. No sooner had the point OF
the surgeons knife touched the body
than it suddenly began to sit up OF
the table.
You needn't cut me open," said
Hall. "I'll answer any questions
you ask me-" Hall explained thai
he had not lain senseless at all, bu
knew all that had been going on
He heard all that was said about ;
post-mortem. but was unable to make
a sound of any kind.
About that time" said Hall, Z"

Is more disposition to increase pre-

stocks have been depleted by the

Cleaning Silk Skirts.

The manner Of washing or clean
ing the new silk skirts now so gen

proper treatment for a skirt is to rub

soap has been dissolved. Squeeze
the water out with moderate pres

good idea to add to the rinsing water

color of the skirt. This coloring can
be obtained of a druggist, and as

ton will be appreciated. Iron when

The great demand for coal by for

the increased amount of coal con-
5umed by their naval vessels, the
number of which has grown rapidly
within the last two years. All native
coal is being used for this purpose
and the supply is not equal to the de-
mand. Added to this is the coal re-

An officer of the Reading Company
explained that his company was COM

because of the scarcity of labor at

A Useful Hint.

When oilcloth has been down for a
few months ard is losing it's shiny
surface it can be renewed easily, and
it will last twice as long. Melt lit
tie ordinary glue in a pint of water,
letting it stand on the top of the
oven until it is dissolved. Wash the
oil cloth thoroughly and let it dry.
Then at night, when the traffic of the
day is over, go over the whole thing
carefully with a flannel dipped in the
water. Choose dry day for it, and
in the morning the glue will be hard,
and will have put fine gloss on the
oilcloth.-New York Journal.
