SPOILED ITS EFFECT.
A Speech to the Jury That Was Ef.
fectively Answered.

A well known English barrister,
WHOM we will call Mr. X. was a most
eloquent speaker, and his voice, par
ticularly in its pathetic tones. was
melody itself His power over a jury
was astonishing. and it was very sell
dom that he failed to secure YER
dict for his client,
On one occasion, however, he was
beaten and in such a ridiculous man
ner that a crowded court and even the
grave Judge were convulsed with
laughter nj the burlesgue Of the result.
The case was charge Of murder.
Mr.. X. was for the defense. His
peroration was exceedingly touching
and beautiful.
Gentlemen Of the jury" said he.
IF you can find this unhappy prisoner
at the bar guilty Of the crime with
which he is charged after the argu-
ments TO the contrary which ! have
laid before you, pronounce your fatal
verdict. Send him TO the dungeon.
awaiting the death which he is to re-
ceive at your hands. Then go 10 your
families, lay your heads on your pill
lows-and sleep. if you can!'
The effect of the closing words was
really thrilling. But presently the
counsel for the prosecution rose and
said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, should
despair. after the affecting speech
which has been made TO you by my
learned brother. of saying anything to
do away with his eloquence, i never
heard Mr.. X. speak that better thar
when he spoke il now. Once | heard
him speak il in case of stealing al
Leeds and again in case at Manches-
ter, and the last time j heard ii was
when two men were tried for pocket
picking. But ! never knew him TO
speak il so affectingly as Just now"
This was poser. The jury looked
at one another. whispered together,
and the speaker saw instinctively that
he had them. He stopped at once.
closing with a single remark:
If you can't see. gentlemen Of the
jury, that this speech fits all cases
then there's no use my saying any
thing more"
And there wasn't. he bad made his
case and got his verdict-Ezchange.

Founding of khartum.

Khartum is not yet a century old
and it owes its existence to an or
iental form of treachery. When Khe-
dive Mohammed Ali invaded the SUI
dan in 1920 he marched triumphantly
to Shendi, where his troops were en-
tertained at a banquet by the sub
missive natives. But while the khe.
dives high officials were seated at
the feast they shared the fate of the
viands and were themselves reduced
to funeral baked meats. Full of fury
the army fell on Shendi and demol-
ished II, Marching south, the inva-
ders reached the junction of the Blue
Nile and White Nile. With the con-
queror's instinct they recognized that
the strip of land. with its few fisher
mems huts, of straw, formed ideal
strategical headquarters. So Khartum
finally grew into the most sensitive
part of the Sudan organism.

The Nesaunee Iron Herald prints
the following, under the caption. "An

Of the copper country teachers will

THE iron country schools were
particularly well represented at the
Upper Peninsula association sessions
held at Houghton and Calumet within
the past few years. while IL is recalled
that copper country educators held
aloof from the general meeting at
Ishpeming last year just as they pur-
pose doing with regard to the Negau-
nee meeting this autumn"
To say the least, the criticism is
uncalled for. It has been the custom
for years in the copper country 10 hold
each fan an institute for the teachers
of Houghton and Keweenaw counties,
and this institute has not been ar
ranged with any idea of detracting
from the attendance of the annual
meeting OF the Upper Peninsula Edu-
cational association. The time for the
local institute is set to suit the con-
venience Of the educators secured for
the occasion, and not to conflict or in
terfere in any way with the U. p con-
vention. The attendance at the latter
meeting is not cut down by the cop
per country institute. as those who
can afford TO go are allowed that priv
llege. a representative copper country
attendance is present each year, and il
is hard TO believe that the Negaunee
Herald's criticism was inspired by
anyone connected with the Upper
Peninsula association.
