HAS 1T COME TO THIS?

A deaf mute has lately been licensed
to practice law i'm North Carolina. II has
been assumed that the chief business of
n lawyer is to talk, but this is news in
deed that one can really practice law
and be silent. There is story told of
Sir Henry Irving, the distinguished
actor, who on one occasion was called
on to testify in a case, and began an
swering a question of barrister bv
saying: 81 think that" ''Stop. sir >,
interrupted the lawyer, ''this court does
not wish to know what you think. but
what you know about this"
"Well, / think" again began Sir
Henry.
"None of your thoughts ifyou please.
we want nothing of that-only and sim
ply what you know
Then L am not to think at all?''
mo, sir, not at all. 49,
Il had as we'll leave the stand
cannot talk without thinking. I'm no
lawyer"
He was allowed to think.

WHO IS THE OWNER?

There seems to be as little conscience
about story-borrowing as about nm
brellas. Many years ago now, John
Esten Cook published in wearing of
the Gray" comical story of how van
Zee soldier mistook the word Of an TO-
norant negro woman for the real thing
and swooped down on her cabin with a
regiment to capture Col. Mosby. only
to learn that she had named her infant
for that redoubtable partizan. The
story, old enough to have whiskers
was not long ago retold in The Youths
Companion as original, and still later
published in Denver paper. still as
original matter, and still later reurinted
IN Virginia paper, still without credit
and passing we suppose for original.
Inc truth is,a good story is so precious
heritage that each one telling it thinks
ne has a right to claim it as his. Not
long after the close of the Civil War
book was brought out very pretenti-
ousiy processing to bear out its title.
Anecdotes of the Confederacy. In
1t were not a few stories that were ex-
tant In a very old book Anecdotes of

doubtful if there are any new stories

No. II Is because we know very little
about that strange spiritual alchemy
that transmutes the baser elements OF
man into the pure gold. The mean-
ing OF the word converted is plain
enough-'turned around"-but one can
scarcely realize how man may be re-

he comes to love the things he once
hated and to hate the things he once
loved. We only know the results of
the radical process.
And we can understand how. with

into the forbiddlng future. yet from
that appalling programme he could ex-

SAVED A MANI

In Kansas City n man was arrested
for stealing from the register OF n
telephone box.
The thief!
But wait
behind the arrest. He questioned the
prisoner and went out to the home or
hut on the outskirts OF the city.
He learned this:
The wife OF the prisoner was Ill
There we're three children-and n dead
baby. Because the man had To stay
at home To nurse the wife he lost his
place In the packing plant. Then the
Daby died. There was no money for
funeral. And the sick wife cried
because her baby was to be buried as
a pauper. She begged TO have "a little
white coffin"
Put yourself in the mans place.
he tried TO borrow: he tried to get
credit at the undertaker's-in vain.
Then In desperation he broke into the
telephone box and was caught In the
act.
The newspaper man, an archangel In
brooches, told the story in his news
paper. He put some heart into the
story. The effect?
The police judge refused to hold the
man when the telephone manager said
he would not prosecute. An undertak-
er said he would furnish the coffin and
walt for his pay. Neighbors made the
FAMILY comfortable. A Job was found
Tor the man, who said through his
tears. I'm show the people I'm an hon

And they buried the dead baby In a
little white coffin, borne to the Gene
terry In white hearse. And there were
carriages In the procession.

The heart OF humanity is wondrous
kind IL you but know how to touch II.
The sympathies OF men and women are
incomparably noble In response when
once they are stirred. But the finest
thing I'm all this Kansas City story Is
that
Society saved a man!
Suppose-suppose in the hour OF his
desperation and temptation the world
mad turned Its back upon this father?
he woulc have gone to the penlten-
tiary with hatred In his heart to be-
come a hardened criminal. The sick
wife might have died. The baby would
have been buried In the potter's field.
The three children would have been
turned adrift to go down in the
depths.
1t was the possibility OF these aw-
ful crimes that society faced-ruining
man, numbering a woman. damning
three children.
At heart the man was not a thief.
He jumped Mt the chance to show him
self a man. He was saved In the nick
OF time-saved where many are lost be-
cause our society is keyed to punish
ment instead OF salvation.
Kansas City saved a mana family.
