RISE OF L|1TLET0N
THAW,s CHIEF COUNSEL ONCE a
TRACK WALKER.
His Ambition to BE 4 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. Little:on in the fierce white
light that beats upon this sensational
murder trial.
And when he faces Jerome across
the trial table it will be Greek meet
ing Greek, and Jerome will be given
the battle of his life
There will be no Fluffy Ruffles pos
ing, no affected and affecting sweet
school girl simplicity, no fights of
golden California rhetoric, no "Ameri-
cania dementia" in the second Thaw
trial. That is not the Littleton
method: he attains his ends by more
subtle stratagems.
Littleton personifies force and de-
cision; he is strong physically and
mentally. sure of himself, self-con-
tident. The ponderous Littleton jaw
is enthusiastically seconded by the
straight, firmly closed, almost curve
less Littleton lips.
When Martin w. Littleton "con-
sented' to become chief counsel for
Thaw-lt is characteristic of the man
that he "cunsented' instead of "ac-
cepting" as smaller man would have
dOne-he served notice on the whole
Thaw family that they must keep
"hands off,
Littleton's rise in the legal profes-
sion has been meteoric. In 1888 he
was trackwalker in Weatherford,
Tex, marked among his fellows for
his quick wit and ready repartee.
His ambition was voiced first In q

In England it is quite different.
There are distinctly different classes,
and the quiet middle class Is content
to dress as do others of the same
class. Hereditary titles and blue
blood, no matter how 'illegitimately
the blue-so-called blue-blood may
have come, are genuinely esteemed,
and the fact that money derived from
marrying into the vulgarest of families
may pay the bills makes little diff
ference.
Here there can be no caste. People
try to make it, but when the million

= It is a matter of common observation
that grass does not gro@ so well close
to trees as In the open The same is
true of grains. Experiments in Eng
land and in this country have shown
that the deleterious effects of the near
neighborhood of grass and trees are
mutual. The trees suffer as well as
the grass and grain. This is especially
true of fruit trees. The cause is as.
cribed to the excretion by the trees.
on the one hand, of substances poison
Gus to the grass, and by the grass, on
the other hand, of substances poison
GUS to the trees. It thus appears that
the failure of grass to grow well near
trees should not be ascribed to too
much shade, but to the exhaustion by
the tree roots of the full supply
needed by the grass.

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
as prosecutor soon spread through
out the state. His grasp of criminal
law was remarkable, his handling of
a jury marvellous.
He married in Dallas and soon af.
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. 1t 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 leonfne 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.

.: Astronomical Photooraoh..

- The astronomer. p. Stroobant, ex.
planned to the French Academy Of
Sciences recently the. utility Of long.
pose astronomical photographs in fur.
nishing data for calculating the orbits
Of comets. Such photographs record
the traces of faint comets when they
are too far from the sun to be seen
with telescopes. This they greatly
extend the distance over which the
path of the comet can be marked out,
and this is of extreme Importance in
calculating with accuracy the ele-
ments Of its orbit. When a new
comet has once become visible, the
method pursued by Stroobant Is to
search for its earlier traces on the
Photographic negatives of the obser.

Stafford Springs Women are Finding
Relief At Last.
1t does seem that women have more
than q fair share of the aches and
pains that affiict humanity; they
must keep up" must attend to
duties in spite of constantly aching
backs. or headaches, dizzy spells,
bearing down pains; they must stoop
over, when to stoop means torture.
They must walk and bend and work
with racking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ
of the body. Keep the kidneys we'll
and health is easily maintained.
Read of a remedy for kidneys only
that helps and cures the kidneys and
is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. Daniel Collins, living on West
Main street, Stafford Springs, Conn.,,
says: Recently when my sister was
visiting me she had All attack Of
kidney trouble which was very annoy
ing. Her back ached continually and
she was often stiff and lame all over.
Her head aches and she had but little
energy and ambition. Finally we
procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
from Eaton's Drug Store, and she took
them according to directions. This
remedy was just what she needed, and
in a short time drove the trouble
away. I have known so many people

Vital Questions.

The following strong questions pro
pounded by the Springfield Sun are
worthy the consideration of voters Df
every section Of country, especially
Kentucky:
If the Republican party is the friend
OF the farmer why did the Republican
United States Senate refuse to remove
the tax from tobacco and thereby re-
fuse the farmer a chance to combat
the tobacco trust by putting his to-
bacco on the market in a manufacture
ed state? AS the law now is, farmer
can not sell a twist Oftobacco without
discriminating himself This law was
made to enrich the tobacco trust What
would you think of party that would
advocate a law TO tax farmers who
sell baled may? Remember, also, that
the Republican National Convention,
by a unanimous vote, refused to adopt
plank declaring for the election of
United States Senators by the direct
vote of the people, and thus expressed
itself as opposed to even giving the
farmers ofWashington county think of
would Note for the repeal of the TO-
bacco tax. What do the Republican
farmers ofWashington county think of
the National Republican party? Is 1t
the friend of the farmer?

Under the head of Help Wanted,
in one Of the metropolitan typhograph-
ical journals appears the following:
Man for city editor on small
city evening daily, with $500
circulation, where the work is
hard and pay small; booze and
cigarettes barred; ought to be
good mixer and a good copy
producer; the man whip makes
good can probably have per-
manent place.
As an anti-spasmodic remedy, this
seems to be a self-cure. Under the
conditions named, where the work
is hard and the pay light" the ques-
ton naturally suggests itself as to
where the fellow would get his
money and time for booze and Gig
arettes, while being a good mixer and
copy-producer, even with the vision
and inducement of a permanent place
probably" staring him in the face.
