What Mary Said.

Judge Brewer cites a striking exam
pie of the sort OF. spoke which trick
sters can insert in the wheels of Justice
says Putnam's Magazine.
A witness testified in a certain cast
that a person named Mary was presen'
when a particular conversation tool
place and the question was asked
"What did Mary sayf' This was ob
jected to. and and after E6me discus
sion the Judge ruled out the question
And exception to this decision was i'm
mediately taken, and on appeal the
higher court reversed and ordered q
new trial ON the ground that the ques-
ton should have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and elected the in
formation that Mary said nothing.
Judge Breger's tale is no fancy pit
dream. Unfortunately the vicious prin
ciple it elucidates only recently founG
application in this State in II mnrdel
=. case on appeal to the Supreme Cnnr
from "Rloody Tangipohoa." Two blood
thirsty villains had foully murdered 4
man at Pontchatoula, and the c~itizeni
succeeded after much trouble ip SO
curing their conviction. The Supreme
Court ordered a new trial because &
witnest was not permitted to answeI
some fool question. On the second tria
they were acquitted. That's all.-Ab

About Success.

Plenty of work, with good wages anl
increasing prosperity, are the certain
rewards of faithfulness. Let any young
mar start in life with the determination
to put the best he has into the discharge
of every duty, and some of the best
Ihings of life will eventually become
his own. There is still Groom at the
top" and faithfulness ia one of the es,
sential conditions of ascent.
Nor can any one succeed at last in
any sphere of life without a certain de-
gree of piety, in its older and more
beautiful sense of habitual reverence
toward nature and her laws. This is
not the teaching of the Christian re-
ligion only, but equally of all religion
and experience Of mankind. The ell
ments of success are moral mainly, and
absolute obedience to moral law is
essential to the preservation of a clear
head and sound judgement. Whoever
is not obedient will one or later find
Jnat he has been sowing the wind only
to reap the whirlwind, which will ma,
if not wreck his fortunes when he least
expects.-Dodson Times.

4 Beautiful Hair Dresser.

BY far the most beautiful girl in ali
drr~~ About all the made admiration
in the entire Casino yesterday afternoon
was bestowed upon her. and she re-
ceiSe 1t with the unconscious grace and
dignity of an ideal Duchess. Her father
was a bricklayer. | am told, her mother
was a washerwoman, and she herself
ended her schooldays at the age of thir-
teen to earn her own living. And here
She is, a bri ght-skinned brunette, with
big, melting black eyes, abundant,
jetty hair, regular features. a tai,
shapely, well-carried figure and per-
fectly lady-like She works
busily and quite protitably at home, but
is now out for a holiday, and when II
woman lottily sent for her to come and
dress her hair, meaning m Insult, she
wrote back: II regret to say that Il Is
impossible. { did not leave my shop us
long ago as you did your slaughter
house. bat I am for the tine being quite
as far away from it." The fact was
that the woman had more than twenty
years ago been a practical worker Ia the
Boston pork-packing house IN Whichhcr
husband founded his fortune.
While speaking of this beautiful hair.
dresser let me describe her toilet of
yesterday, because it illustrates q pre-
vailing elaborate style of afternoon
costuming at Newport The material
was ivory-white surah, shirred for q
quarter of q yard from the waist down
ward in close quarters. so that it
showed every action of the hips. The
fullnoss from the gathers was arranged
in plaits, which extended to the edge
of the skirt, where they were met by a
fall OF white lace put on in coquilirS.
The bodice and paniers We're white

small cape. made of row upon row
pf Oriental lace, reached just below
the shoulders. Her hat YVES completely
covered with the same lace garniture,
to the exclusion Of any other trimming,
and her white satin parasol had several
lace ruilles dis a bordering. Not a touch
of color was seen, and the effect was
that of just such simple elegance rs
most Of the fashionable Newport girls
strive after-Ncwport Cor. CiHciHnati
