KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
invented That Tilted Lover Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our un-
dergraduates of to-day, but these have
not SO romantic an origin as the first
OF these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has it that William
Lee, who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
Doth stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically, was driven to
this piece of ingenuity by the cruel
houting of the lady he loved, who hap.
pened to be stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
Impression on her heart, he sought to
make 1t on her purse by killing her
means of livelihood; and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
bined to Illustrate his cruel purpose,
with the result that he fed with his
invention to France, where he finally
died OF broken heart, whether for
love Of his lady or of his spoiled in
vention, tradition does not say.--Lon-
don Chronicle.

NC Nav INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New Law--Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law OF the State
OF New York has opened up promis.
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy In the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
OF the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent who in many
cases virtually bought business. with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profes.
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes and others, who find that being
life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton. president of the Equta-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents. both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

"Tainted Money" No New Thina.

Nay, nay, nay!' said the arch
bishop, waving white, jeweled hand
as the chief began to divulge some of
his larger plans. Tell me not of thy
wicked schemes! Thy methods must
condemn utterly, but if thou bringest
me the money well, can at least see
to it that it be not used for bad pur-
poses. And speaking of money. we
need for the walls of the apse hun
dred bags of gold. Dost think thou
couldst manage it?'
Gay, said the Gentle Robber, and
that night he despoiled nine men,

ask of him any service that he would

One Hundred Years AGO.

Gen. Zebulon Pike was discovering
the peak that bears his name. The
reason why know I'm the first white
man that ever saw it, he said, lis
that it hasn't got any patent medicine

the snowy summit of the peak and re-
sumed his toilsome march.

[OriginaLl
Among the many advantages Of con-
centration of thought is one disadvan-
tage. Such concentration leads the
thinker to place an undue relative
value upon the subject Of his thought.
A specialist in throat diseases Is apt to
refer all the ills man is heir to to the
throat The professor Of ancient Ian
guages cannot understand how a man
can be properly equipped for any pro-
fession without a knowledge of Greek
and Latin. To the merchant the chief
end of man is to buy cheap and sell
dear.
In the legal profession this species of
monomania tends to make the court
room a tournament Of lawyers. The
real object of a court, to do justice, is
buried under a rank professionalism
that has grown up like weeds In
flower garden.
Edward Avery, a brilliant young
lawyer, was especially under the intiu-
ence Of this professionalism. Having
been elected state attorney, he consid-
cred 1t his duty to convict alike the
innocent and the guilty. AS soon as
his duty to the state had ended and he
became an Independent attorney he
considered it his duty to secure the
acauittal of any client whether inno-
cent 2r guilty. His friends used to re-
monstrate with him on the want OF
elasticity Of his principles, but with
out avail He was intensely logical
and could give the best Of reasons for
his deductions. He forgot that logic
is but machine which will grind out
anything that is put into 1t.
One day while Avery was practicing
on his own account a man whose trial
for burglary was to come off imme-
diately sent for him and asked him to
make his defense.
"But l know nothing about the case"
Don't want y to know nothin' about
the case. The more you know about
It the wo'se for me-"
Avery's fancy was tickled at going
into court to conduct a case he didn't
know anything about He prided him
self on his readiness and resource. He
would add another to his already large
number Of stories that he was used to
telling his friends illustrative Of these
faculties. The accused man had but
IS to give him for retainer, but
Avery was not after money. His OBJ
ject was to have an opportunity to
show what he could do impromptu.
The case came off the same after
noon. Avery was somewhat surprised
to see in the courtroom several of his
chums, mostly Of the legal profession,
and asked why they were there. He
was told that they had heard he had
taken a case he didn't know anything
about, and they were curious to see
how he would handle it. Avery was
pleased. This meant that they were
there to witness bit Of professional
fireworks.
Avery in summer lived in hand
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-08-14

some suburban residence. In winter
he shut 1t up, went to the city and lived
in apartments till spring. When the
prisoner was brought into court and
the witnesses were got together, the
counsel for the defense was surprised
to see among the latter faces of his
neighbors in the country. But what
was his establishment when the pros
ecutlon brought out the fact that the
robbery had been committed in his own
house.
Avery's friends were watching him,
and when this fact dawned upon him
they snickered The young attorney
saw at once that they had placed him
in O position to defend his client from
robbing him. But he was game. Not
the slightest change Of countenance in
dicated that his professional equanim-
ity had been disturbed. He listened
calmly to the evidence against his eli
ent. while the expression Of his face
and quick fashings in his eyes told
that he was straining his brain to find
some weak spot in the prosecution,
some technicallty by which he might
secure the acquitt6i of his client.
The burglar mad been seen coming
down trellls from an upper story by
a man with whom Avery was well ac-
uuainted. He had been chased, but on
the way had contrIved to get rid Of
some valuable articles. When appre-
hended, he had nothing on him to con-
Wet him of theft. OF course the jury
were entirely ignorant Of the situation
that had been brought about by Az
ery's friends. When the prosecutor
evidence was all in, Avery took the wit
ness who had seen the burglar descend
the trellis and asked him how he knew
the prisoner was the same person. The
witness could not swear that he was.
He had seen him run, and he had been
followed by a policeman and several
citizens but the witness had merely
seen a man descend the trellis. What
man he did not know. Avery trapped
him into saying what threw doubt on
the fact of the Identity between the
man who had descended the trellis and
the prisoner, then showed how easy ii
would be for the one to be mistaken
for the other. He closed by powerful
argument against running a mans life
by evidence that was defective and a
pathetic appeal for the prisoner The
jury brought in verdict of not guilty.
There was a dinner served that night
at the bar association club rooms, CIV
en- by those who had played the joke
on Avery. He revealed the fact that
he had lost articles that had been in
his family for 200 years by securing
the acquittal of his client, but that he
would rather have suffered the loss than
do so unprofessional an act as to turn
against a client He thanked them one
and all for having given him an op-
pOrtunity to prove that even under the
severest temptation he could not be
recreant to his duties as an attorney.
All of which is very fine, but it does
not add to securing the object for
which courts are organized-justice.

any public verdict against himself
very seriously. His comment on
Judge Lands decision-that the
the Judge would be dead good
many years before the fine was paid
is characteristic of him. He al
ways shows the same confidence
that he will be able to prove him
self stronger than the Government.

Mr. Rockefeller is a fanatic. His
great strength lies in his power to
concentrate everything on one re-
suit and work to it without the least
deviation. He has been doing that

grown morally or socially. They

Your Own Body.

Think deliberately Of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse It. Eat nothing
that will hurt it; wear nothing that
distorts or pains 1t. Do not overload
It with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal OF danger from any
Of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. Do not take cold;
guard yourself against it. If you feel
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
ic treatment Get into fine glow OF
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you will ever have in this world.
A large share of pleasure and pain Of
life will come through the use you
make of It. Study deeply and diligent-
ly the structure of 1t, the laws that
should govern it. the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow violation
of every law of life or health.
