4 SHREWD LAWYER.
The Way Jeremiah Mason Floored an important Witness.

tHo way JeTsWtEu MASoH ptooFcO WU important Witness.
 Jeremiah Mason, celebrated Ameri- can lawyer, possessed to a marked de- gree the instinct for finding the weak point.
 He was once cross examining wit ness who had previously testified to having heard Mason's client make certain statement. and so important was this statement that the adversa- ry's case was based on it alone.
 Several questions were asked by Ma. son, all of which the witness answered with more or less hesitation. Then he was asked to repeat once more the statement he had heard made. With out hesitation he gave 1t word for word as he had given 1t in the direct examination. A third time Mason led the witness round to this statement. and again it was repeated verbatim.
 Then, without warning. he walked to the witness stand and. pointing straight at the witness, said in a perfectly un- impassioned voice, Lets see that pa per you have in your waistcoat pocket"
 Taken completely by surprise. the witness mechanically took paper from the pocket indicated and handed it to the lawyer.
 There was profound silence in the courtroom as the lawyer slowly read in a cold. calm voice the exact words of the witness in regard to the statement and called attention to the fact that they were ln the handwriting of coun- sel on the other side. He then gathered up his papers with great deliberation. remarked that there seemed to me no further need for his services and de- parted from the courtroom.
 Mason was asked bow he knew that the paper was in the witness pocket.
 Well" explained Mason. ''it seemed to me, that he gave that part of his tss- timony more as if he'd learned 1t than as if he had heard it, Then. too. Tho ticed that at each repetition of his tes- timony he put his hand to his waist coat pocket and then let 1t fall agaIn when he got through.-Chicago Record Herald.

FOUND IN NORTH SEA

Yarmouth. Eng, Oct 17.-The Ger man balloon Hergesell has been picked up in the North sea. There was no sign of the occupants and the two aeronauts are believed to have perished. The balloon was found floating half deflated by a Norwegian steamer.
 The balloon Hergesell. under com ,mand of Lieutenant Foertsche, is still missing, but a message from his balloon was picked up near Oster- Wanne, In Hanover province, which 1t Is believed was written on Tues day. It was as follows:
 Hergesell, g "a. m; height 2, 100 meters. Direction and place uncer- tain, probably anear the coast.
 FOERTSCHE."
 Meteorological observations show that the wind at that time was ing in. the direction of the sea and 1t is certain that the Hergesell was driven to the northwest, the direc- ton taken by the majority of the other contestants, and that if she is found at all she will be found, like several of the other balloons in the two contests. in the waters of North Sea.
 War vessels are stffl searching the waters and all outgoing ships 2 been notified at various points to be on the lookout, and it is possible that the two men who ascended the Hergesell may have been rescued by some vessel.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of impure
matter daily; when unhe althy some
part of the impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings 90 many diseases
and symptoms-pain IN the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and he airing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy de
posts in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.

Judge at Shanghai does strict and inn
