BARROW TO DEFEND FRIEND.
Clarence barrow to Represent Ohio
Man on Murder Charge.

Warren, o., March 5.-When AL
ford Kinsman, wealthy resident of
kinsman, this county, faces a jury
this month to answer to the charge
of Staying George Birrell, he will
have as his leading counsel Clarence
barrow, the famous Chicago attor-
ney who successfully defended Hay
wood and Pettibone, the western
labor leaders. barrow and Kinsman
were schoolmates, and although the
distinguished attorney is still suf-
fering from the illness that sent him
from Idaho to Los Angeles hospi
tai, he has promised to come to the
defense of his former companion.
Birrell is alleged to have been killed
by Kinsman as the result of a quar-
rel over the settlement of the estate
of the latter's father, of which Bir
rell was trustee.

PANICS MAKE MERCHANTS.

I have travelled through a western
town the day after a tornado Only
very few giant trees and a few of
the stanchest buildings on solidest
foundations remained standing
Only the strongest things had been
spared. All the saplingS and trees
weakened by age and rotten hearts,
all of the weak, flimsy, temporary
buildings had been swept away by
the tornado's terrific force
1t was a splendid illustration of
the effect on men of a great financial
panic in which only the fittest sur
vive. The weak and superficial mer-
chants, those with little capital and
without great mental resources and
character reserve, those who had
not fought their way up from the
bottom, but were boosted into their
positions by influence or wealthy
and the stalwarts, the men with sta
nina and grit, ultimately survive.
In good times, when everybody is
money, men of ordinary
ability can do business; but only the
giants survive hard times and great
business panics
The tornado panic which has just
passed over this country has swept
away some of the weak men, those
who were not well-grounded and
rooted in business principles and in
tegrity. Many mushroom merchants
and other poor business men have
gone to the wall; but the wise man
will benft from the lesson of this
panic.-Success Magazine.

HE CALLED HER A HEN.

A St Louis woman has won $501
damages from a man, who, in the
heat of argument, called her
hen" and a "cat' The jury decided
she had been damaged actually to
the extent of 81 and tackled on $500
as punitive salve.
All of which raises question as
to whether epithets have any real
value. Had the defendant in the case
been so disposed he might have tried
to introduce evidence showing the
hen is a worthy bird who, with other
mem ers of her tribe, added some
thing like 100000 900 to the bank
accounts of farmers and poultry
raisers in 1907. And on the subject
of cats he might have proven that in
ancient Egypt cats were worshiped
as deities. They are still held in
reverence in the Orient.
Perhaps the st. Louis mans error
was in applying two epithets instead
of one. Obviously no person could be
a hen and a cat at the same time
and maybe the jury took this fact
into consideration, says the Fort
Worth Telegram.
The use of epithets as form of
argument is not confined to men in
the humber walks of life (the St
Louis defendant worked for a com
mission house,, but may be found
himself is rather fluent in his use of
epithets, ranging from mature fax
err to undesirable, and he is not
the only state man who has found an
epithet handy in a pinch.
suggest the story of an Irishman,
who, on being asked by a magistrate
why he had stolen sheep, replied,
Sir, your father was whig." The
Judge, being a tory, not only had the
so fined him for contempt of court,
showing the appropriateness of cpl
thets as an excuse for stealing.
The St Louis woman's case goes
to prove that. even in the matter of
epithets, a woman always has the
last word.

Criminal neglect in providing
proper means of escape was respon-
sible for the burning to death of
one hundred and seventy children
in a suburban school at Cleveland,
Ohio. School trustees and superin-
tendents hold responsible positions,
but there are few of them who ever
give more than passing thought to
their responsibilities. Over-crowded
schools are constant menace to
the well-being of the children that
is too often overlooked and condi-
tons are too frequently tolerated
that are criminally dangerous, There
is a lesson in the Cleveland disaster
that should appeal to every school
trustee.

Says the Cleburne Enterprise:
The influence of a newspaper is
not measured by circulation, but by
the heart interest aroused in its
readers, and the close relation of its
editor and the people who read his
paper, and have confidence in the
faith of its utterances and the integ-
rity of his purposes. " But circulation
is pretty good thing to combine
with heart interest" TO make a
newspaper a real business factor. OF
course, if there is the right kind of
heart interest" circulation will nat
urally follow. You cant have one
without the other if your newspaper
is judged by legitimate merit.
