Concerning the treatment of witnesses,
Mr. wellman tells the young advocate
that "the sympathies of the jury are In
,,ar,ablv on the side of the witness, and
they are quick to resent any discourtesy
toward him. He also observes that
mon cannot enter a courtroom without
taking sides; that witnesses uncon-
sciously become champions of the side
bv which they are called. and that the
i,,rv often loses sight of the case itself,
.nd comes to consider the two contend
,ns LAWYERS as the principals. Here is
nugget of wisdom picked up at random:
..1f for the plaintiff. an advocate should
remember that he must win the Twelve;
# for the defendant, he needs only one"
Mr. WelIman declares that in his Judg-
meat the method of selecting a jury in
vogue at the present time In our New
York City courts and the class OF men
that are empanelled to serve upon our
turies are far superior to those In any
other locality or tribunal with which he
is acquainted.
According to the late Justice Miller, OF
the S,,preme Court. the opening state
ment of case is of greater Importance
than the closing argument Eloquence
still has it's uses. but brevity. clearness'
simplicity. close adherence to the salient
points of the case, and fairness and hon
esty of statement are of greater service
in the courtroom of to-day. And, finally,
experience makes perfect. The young
lawyer, like the young physician, learns
from the mistakes he makes in' his early

an amusing album, containing caricatures

Among the best portraits are those of

the caste of "Chantecler" includes the
seven names of we'll known painters.
For instance Mile Suzanne Henner,
niece of the artist of that name, plays
the part of Dorset chicken; II. RenO1r,
son of the famous colorist takes off a

Waterloo Woman Cares for Daughtef
Three Days Without Eating or
SEeepinq-Patient Dies.

Waterloo, Jan. 27-Following vigil
of three days and nights without food
or sleep at the bedside of her dying
daughter, Mrs. George Woellert, who
gave birth to baby five weeks ago.
lost her mind Saturday afternoon and
it was necessary to use force in re-
straining her from doing violence.
She was sent to the insane hospital
at independence Sunday. Her daugh'
ter, Mrs. Clayton Webster died about
the time Mrs. Woellert was en- route
to the sanitarium. Mrs. Webster
leaves a baby seven days old, and
both infants will be left at present to
the care of the father and grandfather,
George Woellert
The case is one which has excited
the sympathy of the whole neighbor-
hood. When Mrs. Webster was taken
i'll, Mrs. Woellert applied herself as
siduously to the task of caring for
the patient She was not in good
health herself, but she sacrificed her
comfort in behalf of her daughter.
When physicians advised her to take
better care of herself she refused on
the ground that her little daughter
needed all the care that loving moth
er could bestow. She refused to eat
| food or drink for three days and the
strain was too much for her mind.
Deputy Sheriff Raymond took her into
custody Saturday afternoon and Sun.
lday she was taken to Independence.

with a movement for lower live stock
rates to Chicago. The desire seems
to have been to get after the conf
missioners, for political purposes.
rather than to get at the real facts.
1t has been shown, on the contrary.
that the Iowa packing interests have
been vitality interested, even to the ex-
tent of a matter of life and death. The
Iowa packers as interveners have
fought similar movements in the past.
The packers side of the controversy
is certainly worth considering. At the
present time we are killing in Iowa
about Is per cent of the hogs grown
and fattened in this state. The bulk
of the other 81 per cent are carried to
Chicago. But the Chicago packers
want to get the rest of the business,
to break down the independent pack
ers entirely, in Iowa, as they have al
ready done in Illinois.
But the people of Iowa are vitality
interested in building UP these pack
ing interests There is not hog that
ought to be carried out of the state,
except in the form of dressed and
cured meats. There are employed
probably, 10000 men in the packing
industries of the state. But we ought
to employ $4,000.
The farmers of Iowa are as vitality
| interested in this as the men of the
cities. With the Independent packing
houses broken down. the trust pack
ers in Chicago will pay their own
prices for live stock At the present
time there is considerable element
of competition and the Chicago pack
! ers have to bid against the Iowa pack
ers That helps prices.
The freight rates might amount to
few cents per hundred pounds, but
the commission men in Chicago would
absorb that very readily. The farmers
have ten times as much to gain from
building up Of the Independent pack
ers in Iowa.
1t is to be regretted that Iowa pa
pers will not take broader view of &
question SO vital to Iowa-that they
must play politics with the very in
dustries of the state.
