RISE OF L|TTLET0N
rHAW's CHIEF COUNSEL ONCE A
TRACK WALKER.
His Ambition to Be a Great New
York Lawyer Realized = Nomi-
mated Parker for Presidency
at st. Louis Convention.

New York.-Martin w. Littleton of
New York, the Belasco of the legal
profession, is the principal figure in
The second trial of Harry X. Thaw.
It only needs glance at his lower
jaw to see this must be SO. Not even
petite Evelyn will be allowed to rival
Martin W. Littleton in the fierce white
light that beats upon this sensational
murder trial.
And when he faces Jerome across
the trial table 1t will be Greek meet
ing Greek, and jerome will be given
the battle of his life.
There will be no Fluffy Ruffies pos
ing, no affected and affecting sweet
school girl simplicity. no flights of
golden California rhetoric, no "Ameri-
CANA dementia" in the second Thaw
trial. That is not the Littleton
method: he attains his ends by more
subtitle stratagems.
Littleton personifies force and de-
cision; he is strong physically and
mentally, sure of himself, self-con-
fident. The ponderous Littleton jaw
is enthusiastically seconded by the
straight, firmly closed, almost curve
less Littleton lips. p4
When Martin w. Littleton con
sented' to become chief counsel for
Thaw-it is characteristic of the man
that he consented" instead of "ac-
cepting'' as smallen man would have
done-he served notice on the whole
Thaw family that they must keep
hands off,
Littleton's rise in the legal profess
sion has been meteoric. In 1888 he
was a trackwalker in Weatherford,
Tex, marked among his fellows for
his quick wit and ready repartee.
His ambition was voiced first in a

jecred.
mo farther than from rail splitter
to president" Littleton replied, and
walked away.
Eight months later he entered the
office of the district attorney of
Weatherford county as clerk and law
student. He fairly ate the law
books" the district attorney said af
terward.
After being admitted to the bar he
went to Dallas. In two years he was
assistant district attorney. His fame
rs a prosecutor soon spread through
out the state. His grasp of criminal
law was remarkable, his handling of
jury marvellous.
He married in Dallas and soon at
terward came to New York. He was
unknown here. had little money, but
was loaded down with nerve. He
won quick recognition in Brooklyn.
When he was selected by William F.
Sheehan to nominate Alton B. Parker
for the presidency at the st. Louis
convention, his reputation was as
sured. It was the brilliancy of that
nominating speech that paved the
way to his later recognition in the
metropolis.
Martin w. Littleton strongly re-
sembles David Belasco. except he is
heavier and shorter and his hair Is
still untinged with gray. There is
the same smoothly shaven face, the
same firm chin and generous breadth
of lower jaw. that undefinable air Of
driving straight to the mark; and
above all the same leonine locks
thrown carelessly back from the brow,
bristling with electricity, vital with
life, marking the man as out of the
ordinary.
In speaking he is calm and deliber-
ate. using few gestures and holding
attention by the force Of his strong
| personality.

and feed should always be kept sweet
and clean. A good grain ration for
lambs might be made as follows:
Nix one-third part Of oilmeal with one
part each of bran, oats and fine corn
meal. Red clover hay or the second
cutting OF alfalfa hay are the most de-
sirable form of roughage. OF the two,
alfalfa issto be much preferred. It is
q good idea to keep up the grain feed
right along until the lambs are sent

kept fat all the time and are ready
to be turned into cash on short no
dee should the market take sudden
rise. Furthermore, 1t has been found
BY trial at the Wisconsin station that
lambs fed grain continuously have re.
turned net profit twice as great as in
the case Of lambs OF the former class
to make q weekly gain Of 81 pounds
- against ~ pounds in the case OF
lambs receiving no grain up to the
time they are turned into the feed

beats clover or alfalfa hay.

Francis he exercised an extraordinary
power over the minds of men in the
Middle Ages by the mere example of
pure living and beauty of character,
but perhaps his power lay little
more In preaching and in stirring men

struggle for light In a very dark age.
He was full of unselfishness and char
ity. and it is said that he started the

The facade of the oratory is the
work of Florentine sculptor, Agos-
tino Ducci, and is an interesting work
of art. 1t is built of the pink colorcd
marble of the country, decorated with
terra Gotta figures and white marble
garlands.

: The facade ia deliberately decorated.
and 1t is considered masterpiece of
singular beauty. 1t is not clear why
this particular spot was chosen on
which to build the oratory, but prob
ably the reason was its close proximi-
ty to the Convent of st. Francis of
Fruto, where the saint lived while ut
Perugia.
There is something touching in the
associations of the Oratory of st.
Bernardino, and the thought of mar
ring its beauty in any way seems
nothing short of Dissertation. But the
spirit Of the present day is distinctly
material. A we'll paying hotel is con-
sidered far better than the unob-
structed view of a celebrated facade,
and the cult Of preserving the sur
roundings of works of art seems grad
ua,ly disappearing in Italy.

Beauty Of PerusIa's Famous oratory

intended to build a modern house in
the small picturesque square leading
to the celebrated Oratory of Saint
Bernardino of Sienna in Perugia, and
that 1t will hide in part the view of its
beautiful facade. This oratory was
built in 1850 by the magistrates of Pc
rugia, who were anxious to leave to
their native city some enduring mark
OF the man whose influence in time
of extreme moral depravity and con-
slant party strife had been purely one
of good to the citizens of Perugia.

cheap as barley and shorts, although

Barley, corn and alfalfa hay proved
q very satisfactory ration, being sec
ond only to corn and tankage in cheap
ness, and producing the third largest
gains Of any ration.
Corn and alfalfa hay did not prove
satisfactory. being the costliest ration
used, with the exception of beet ra-
lions.
The three rations which included al
falfa hay make q somewhat better
showing than the allgrain rations.
Nine parts corn and one part tank
age produced best gains Q33 pounds)
It took 1894 pounds of corn and AZ
pounds of tankage for 100 pounds
gain.
The next best gains were made by
nine parts barley and one part tank
age. This ration produced 100 pounds
gain, AIT pounds barley and n pounds
tankage being required for 100 pounds
gain.
Alfalfa hay produced smaller gains
than tankage fed with these grains,
and more grain was. required for the
production of 100 pounds gain.
The barley and hay fed pigs gained
100 pounds, 469 pounds Of barley and
60 pounds of alfalfa being required
for 100 pounds gain.
The corn and alfalfa pen gained only
80 pounds per head; while 556 pounds
of grain and "A pounds of hay were
required in producing 100 pounds gain.
Using barley as one ingredient in
each of three rations. the test shows
that 60 pounds of alfalfa hay saved
seven pounds Of shorts, 80 pounds of
peas and A pounds of wheat, respec-
lively, in the production of 100 pounds
gain, the hay being fed in such guam
titles as the pigs would eat; while
the shorts, peas and wheat each con-
etituted half of the ration for the pens
