An interrupted Wedding Feast.

While Il wedding breakfast was in
progress in the village of Novery,
in Savoy, the floor gave way, and
the guests fell through into a COW
house below. The bride dropped on
the neck of a COW, which took fright
and dashed out into the field with
the bride clinging to its horns. The
bridegroom went off in pursuit and
found the bride hanging by her hair
from a branch beneath which the
COW had passed. She was rescued
in a badly bruised condition.

EFFECTIVE TIME TEST.
The Way a Clever Lawyer Won vsr-
diet Fer He Client.

Ine way Clever Lawyer won vers
diet Fer He Client.
An interesting example of dra-
matte appeal to human experience
during a trial and a conclusive test
of the appeal closed a case tried in
a western court.
The plaintiff was suing a railway
for damages to a building which
had been set on fire, it was alleged,
by sparks from locomotive.
Counsel for the road based his
defense on the ground that, since
the fire was seen by employees on
the train and the train was in the
station only four minutes, the fire
must therefore have been set be-
fore the engine pulled into the sta
ton. -Four minutes, he contended,
constituted a period not long
enough for a fire to start and get
under way.
On the other hand, counsel for
the plaintiff argued in this wise:
If young man, sitting on a sofa
with his best girl, is holding her
hand the time travels like an ex-
press train. But if you dump lot
of sparks on the pine roof of a dry
building in summer four minutes
is ample to settle the fate of the
structure despite all efforts to save
it.
There were some increduous
smiles at this. The attorney took
out his watch and, handing it to
the foreman of the jury, requested
him to announce the termination
of period of four minutes.
The jurymen leaned over and
looked at the watch. Then they
got tired and settled back in their
seats. The foreman of the jury
lowered his hand as the signal of
the beginning of the four minutes
and then rested it on his knee. The
attorney shifted his feet few times
and sat down. The judge looked at
the clock awhile and then gazed
abstractedly out of the window. A
deputy marshal looked in at the
door to see what was the matter
and patiently awaited the result of
the curious scene. Nearly every
man in the courtroom had a watch
in his hand, carefully studying the
face of it. The counsel for the
plaintiff was sacrificing four min
utes of his time. But he felt that
they were well invested.
At last the foreman of the jury
announced the termination of the
test. To every person in the room
the four minutes had seemed at
least twice as. long. The Judge
himself afterward said that it seem
ed something like fifteen. The or
deal had the effect upon the jury
that the attorney had calculated.
1t was an object lesson, a striking
exemplification of what might hap
pen in four minutes.
Accordingly the jury found that
the defendants engine had suffi-
Client time in which to fire the
building and that the fire had am
pie time in which to get under way
and create a blaze which the men
on the train could see. A verdict
for damages was brought in to the
amount of some $15, 700. - New

FARMING In Japan.

The lot of farmer in Japan does
not seem particularly enviable in the
eyes of foreigner, but by the Japa-
nese themselves it is generally
spoken of as being in some respects
more advantageous than that of
most other classes. The farmer is
more independent, though often his
self satisfaction is due much more
to his ignorance of better conditions
than to really worthy motives. His
life, with all its drawbacks, is
healthier than those of sedentary
workers, and, as a class, agricultur-
lists are the longest lived.-Kobe

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
It Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suftic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
