Mr.. Littleton also alluded to the
testimony OF the lcoroner's Jurymen
who saw Thaw at the inquest the day
following the tragedy and who swore
that Thaw was irrational. Mr.. Jerome
attempted to abuse or terrify some OF
these but he failed, commented the
advocate.
Referring to the expert witnesses.
Mr.. Littleton said they were. giving
the jury the benefit of their medical
study but had no more facts than the
jury itself to Judge from.

GO SLOW IN JUDGING OTHERS
Habit Of Criticism Not a Valuable One
to Cultivate.

Do no: drift into the critical habit.
Have an opinion. end sensible one.
about everything. but when you come
to JUICE people remember that you
see very little Of what they really are.
unless you winter and summer with
them Find the kindly lovable nature
Of a man who knows little Of books.
Look for the beautiful selfsacrifice
made daily by some woman who
knows nothing about pictures. and
teach yourself day in and day out to
look for the best in everything. 1t is
the everyday joys and sorrows that 60
to make up life.
1t is not the one great sorrow. nor
the one intense JOY. it Is the accumula-
ton of the little ones that constitute
living. so do not be critical for the lit
tie faults. and do be quick TO find the
little virtues and to praise them.
So much that is good in people dies
for want Of encouragement Their
hearts are not open books. and as you
must Judge yourself some day, give

There is more adventure in the life
Of the working man who descends as
a common soldier into the battle Of
life than in that of the millionaire who
sits apart in an Office, like Won Moltke,
and only directs the maneuvers by tel
egraph. Give me to hear about the
career of him who is in the thick Of
business; to whom one change Of mar
ket means an empty stomach and
to another a copious and savory meal
This is not the philosophical but the
human side of economies; it interests
like a story; and the life OF all who
are thus situated partakes in a small
way of the charm Of Robinson Crusoe;
for every step is critical, and human
life Is presented to. you naked and
verging 10 it's lowest terms.-Steven-

always fattered myself that We came
out Of it very creditably. 1t is aston
ishing how much one can say under
these conditions with a few signs and
gestures.
Once one OF our favorite American
generals. stationed north OF q. Manila,
desired to give social touch toward
cementing the friendship and good fell
lowship between the two nati0ns. and
with this end in view asked an army
woman to bring party up to his head
quarters for a few days visit. Upon
their arrival the general gave recep-
ton. to which all the principal people
OF the town were invited. They re-
turned the hospitality promptly and
pleasant intercourse.
Among the Filipino ladies' there was
one who will ever hold an agreeable
place in the memory Of the party, Sc
bright and pretty was she, SO quick

During one of the occasions when they
were all together. ! do not remember
now what gave rise to ii, her black
eyes fairly flashed fire as she said:
But you will never conquer us: You
may so on bringing your soldiers to
fight us--millions of them-but you
will not conquer u.s. Then in the
most tragic manner she added: In.
surreC-to. TO-the-death!"
1t was like bombshell in the midst
of this mild. amicable, peaceable as
sembly.
An American woman stepped up to
her quickly but quietly. gently took
both the dark hands in hers and
smiled in her eyes as she answered:
My dear we are not going to bring
more soldiers; we don't want to fight
you. We want to conquer you with
love-
With a low bow, indescribable grace
and the prettiest little gesture in the
world, she said We are conquered

"Adios. Ados! POGO tiempo-boom-
