table in the room near the lamp
Winner on entering his own room
found he had no light and called
upon Niffon to bring in the lamp.
Niffon with the light attempted to
remove the revolver from the table
when the gun was discharged, PEN
etrating the board partition and
the ball striking Winner just be-
low the stomach severing one of

Deeply Injured.

Her eyes were wild; her hair was
in disorder; her face was flushed;
her hands were clinched. She was
a deeply injured and desperate wo-
man.
ooh, cruel one" she cried in an
guished tones, Il have borne with
you too long. You have injured
the very foundations of my being.
Day by day you have tortured me,
and yet | could not bear to give
you up. When first we met, how
your ease and polish attracted me!
When you became my own, how my

Outstanding is too small for my

named Little, living in Dublin, who
had a daughter. Now, she was in
love with a chap she knew her pater
did not approve of. So one day she
eloped with him. When the old
man found it out he was very
angry and at once followed them.
Now, then, what time was it?

A LAWYERS SLIP.
Put Ir Damaging Evidence Against
His Own Client.

1t does not seem to be frequent
that a plaintiff gets through the
courts what he considers a salts
factory settlement for damages for
ar injury sustained when a railroad
company is the defendant. Cases
are of record, however, where the
attorney for the railroad has UNI
consciously admitted evidence that
resulted in a verdict for the plain
tiff. Such a case was that of Mrs.
Herkimer Of Beloit, who sued the
Missouri Pacific for $4,000 before
a court in Kansas.
The defendants were represented
by the able and learned Waggcner,
who sought to prove that there was
a full moon on the night of the
accident and to place the response
bility with the plaintiff. A messen-
ger boy was sent for and secured
an almanac of the year of the acct
dent. Examining it only to learn
that it contained the desired proof,
he offered it in evidence.
In his argument the lawyer for
the plaintiff declared that the de-
PENDANT company was the property
of certain millionaires, whom he
named, who had amassed fortunes
totaling a great number of millions
and were well able to care for his
crippled client.
Waggener was Immediately on
his feet offering loud objection
to this line of argument, claiming
hat nothing had been introduced
in the evidence to justify the state
ment.
MAY it please your honor, there
is" declared the other lawyer. 1T
is in the direct evidence offered by
the learned attorney for the de-
Tense"
"Where ?" shouted the surprised
Waggener.
at is in this almanac, your
honor" calmly replied the lawyer.
He had studied the book, and there
in its pages were pictures of the
men named, together with sketches
of their lives, and every one of
them was rated at from 500, 000,-
900 to $15O,OOO,OO
These figures evidently appeared
to the jury to be substantial enough
to award a verdict for the amount
asked, and that without leaving
their seats.-New York Tribune.

sweetest fruit grown anywhere. would
alone make many millionaires in this
country II the fruit could be success
fully shipped. or. better still. grown
here. as the Hawaiian papaya Is now
being r--de n erow in the Philippines.
Spaniards spent thousands Of dollars
trying to get samples Of the Philippine
mango to their late queen. but with
out avail. There is absolutely moth
ing to equal this fruit in the western
hemisphere. Mangoes in New York
would easily retail at from 81 to SIPS
"a dozen. with the demand never fully
supplied. One tree Of enormous size
is said to have produced 5000 man
goes in one season. The fruit in shape
and general appearance resembles q
huge pear flattened to a thickness Of
about IN inches. The skin is green
and the meat pumpkin colored. The
flavor can be compared to no fruit in
this country; to appreciate its deli
ciousness one must eat mango OF

An Edible Flower.

' An edible flower. the mhowad. Is to
be seen in one of Washington's hotan.
ical gardens. In India they make of
this flower a soup, bread. wine and
a brandy.
The mhowad grows on a mhowad
tree, as the tulip grows on the tulip
tree. It is lemon-yellow in color, big
ger than a tulip. and its corallas Are
pulpy and thick.
Dried and pounded into a powder
the mhowad makes sweet, rich.
wholesome bread. Fermented in spring
water, very delicate wine is yielded
BY the useful bloom, and distilled the
mhowad renders up an aromatic and
perfumed brandy which the Hindoos,
despite their temperance. find 1t f:ifl-
cult to resist
