DEFENDING THE GUILTY MAN
Frederick A. Browns Story illustrates
the Conditions That Sometimes
Confront the Lawyer.

Frederick A. Brown. o well known
Chicago lawyer. told the following
story at recent dinner:
Attorneys are frequently asked
how they can defend men whom they
know to be guilty The reply is that
we seldom II ever know that they are
guilty I once. however. became the
unwilling attorney of a man whom I
knew to be guilty.

a negro was brought In. charged with
highway robbery. Judge Brentano.

rected me. against my protest, to de-
fend him.
81 took the colored man aside and
said. We'll. are you guilty?' and to my
surprise he replied. We'll. boss. they
found the pocketbook on me and have
twenty witnesses to prove It, He then
went on to tell me that he had
snatched a woman's pocketbook on
Thirty-ninth street and Cottage Grove
avenue on a Saturday afternoon, ran
west In Thirty-ninth street. turned up
an alley, with a crowd after him, who
caught him as he was getting over a
six-foot board fence

found that he was indicted under the
habitual criminal act. under which he
could be sent to the penitentiary for
forty years. ] returned to the court
room and insisted that Judge Bren-
tano should appoint some other lawyer,
which he refused to do. then made
the proposition to the prosecutor that
II he would waive the habitual crimi-
nal count would have my man plead
guilty and save the cost OF trial.
This was agreed to, the darky was
delighted, pleaded guilty, and received
the minimum sentence After 1t was

said, Boss. that was so easy that /

CONDEMNS THE MOTOR CAR
English Writer Says the Automobile
Tourist Misses All the Charm,
~ Of Journey.

A writer In T. p. O'Connor's Lon-
don Weekly holds that the claims of
the motor car to minister to our pleas.
ures and our education are preten,
tious. exaggerated and absurd, and as
such are to be condemned. He boldly
asserts that the motor car sightseer
may travel hundreds Of miles and re-
of his journey than that he stopped
for few moments at this or that
place for luncheon, and supped and
lodged at some other place. from
which he flashed next morning sound
ing his "honk-honk" to drive the be-
wildered people of the country to the
side of the road, that the destroying
motor might pass In safety. He says:
"As the motorist whisks through
Enfield does he ever think how

Journey home? But friendly farm
house drew him from his track, and
midnight found him finishing bottle
of whisky and a can Of milk. When
he reached home he had covered sew

torist, with his flabby muscles and his
love of ease, do az much? In his pas

NO FIELD FOR THEIR WORK
How The Good Young Man From

There are good men in California.

real good young man.. who used to
teach a Bible class In San Francisco.
boarded the Union Pacific train at
Ogden. He was going home to Bos-
ton as delegate ON California to
the Massachusetts Sunday-School as
sociation. He was neatly and sweetly
dressed. and spent most of his time
reading the Christian at Work. After
a while he got introduced to a colonel,
a professor, and a doctor. who said
they lived In Boston. and they invited
him to take a quiet game OF euchre.
During an animated religious conver-
sation, three aces were thrown on his
side OF the table, after which one of
the Bostonians gayly remarked. with
the greatest coolness. 81 wish that We

USE FOR HOUSEHOLD PETS
Psychologist Says Cats and Parrots
Would Keep Lonely People From
Committing Suicide.

A new use for cats, parrots and 9TH
er household pets has been discovered
by DR.. Colin A. Scott. professor of
psychology at the Boston Normal
school, He Is reported to have said to
an audience of public school principals
In Chicago that one reason why peo-
pie commit suicide Is that they feel
their own uselessness. and that II an
unmarried woman has a cat or a par
rot to care for 1t may give her some
thing TO live for and prevent her from
taking her own life.
Anything else that awakens and
holds interest in life would serve the
purpose equally well-a fad of any
sort, plants. garden, whist, novels,
history, charitable work. crocheting,
votes for women. The number of pos.
sible objects to keep a woman inter.
ested In life is unlimited. Even for
elderly and disillusioned bachelor
maids, who find the world lonesome
place, there are countless fascinating
subjects of interest.
promising Of such subjects. for cats
generally are selfish and self-centered.
They take all they can get and give
as little as they can. No woman real
ly ever owned cat. The cat owns
the woman. And possibly that Is why
the psychology professor suggested
cats as preventives of suicide.

Novel Use for Aviation.

Probably Darius Green never had a
dream that his flying machine would
be used in a scheme to prove to wild
hunters in the Philippine islands that
they were inferior to white men. This
political project, however. was tried
by Aviator L. Hammond. who at the
request of the governor of the islands,
gave to the chief Of tribe of Igorotte
hunters his first aerial ascension. The
tribesmen were very apprehensive
regarding the result, and even the
chief himself took his seat in the car
with ill-concealed trepidation, but aft

NO MORE sPREEs FOR HIM
Changing the Letter on etsnog-
rapher's Typewriter Cured Him
Of the Drink Habit.

In a certain railroad office In the
West Bottoms ia stenographer. upon
whom his employer places considera-
BILE confidence, for he Is one Of the
best In the business. Only one short
coming has ever been found against
him. but this was a grievous one. the
kind that was increased 100 per cent
when tbs bi-monthly pay law went
into effect. Long and faithful service
kept him from being discharged. and
his employer was very lenient. From
month to month. however. It could be
noticed that he was slipping little
more with each payday. Finally one
last plan was decided upon to keep
him In the service and prevent his
falls from the wagon.
During an absence following pay
day a typewriter mechanic was
pressed into service, to change the let
ters on the machine around. The next
morning the stenographer reported for
work, with evidences Of hangover" !"
His employer started on him good and
early, with message which was to
be rushed.
The stenographer started work. The
result was something of an "x-&5!""
affair. Finally he decided "it was no
use"
81 guess I have been cutting up q
little," he said. 81 expect better take
a day off and sober up"
1t was agred thus, and during the
day Of SOLDERING up. the letters on the
machine were set back into place.
The plan worked and though the incl
dent occurred six months ago, the
stenographer hasn't missed day.

New Byron Memorial In Greece.

In further commemoration Of the
poet Byron, whose name Is still deep
ly revered throughout Greece, the gov.
ernment has just passed the plans
for the erection in Mesolongian of a
suitable monument, to be surrounded
by a small ornamental garden, upon
the spot where Lord Byron died in
April, 1924.
Already monument exists here in
the "Heroon," or burial place of
Greek champions Of freedom, many of
whose mortal remains repose beneath
a large mound
The initiative in connection with
the idea Of erecting this further
memorial Is due to the prime minis.
ter, M. E. Venizelos. whose admiration
for the English poet and friendliness
for -Englishmen generally have been
demonstrated upon more than one oc.
casion.

Varied Uses Of ps.rls.

During the palmy days Of the Ro'
man empire pearls were greatly es'
teemed as ornaments by the women
OF fashion. though after its downfall
they were again chiefly used for the
decoration of inanimate objects, and
it was not until medieval days that
they again served the purpose Of per-
sonal decoration. In England they
were not really appreciated for the
latter purpose until the fourteenth
century. Yet throughout every coun.
try and In every country from COM
paratively early times We see pearls
depleted by contemporary artists In
such of their works as survive.

NEW WAY OF SAVING MONEY
How a Number Of Working Glris Are
Accommodating a Fund for
Vacation Trips.

Some girls working In a certain
trust company have organized a most
unusual method Of saving money for
their vacation trips. Two of the girls
out Of the thirty-five that have en-
tered into the plan are appointed trus
tees, and the first Saturday in sJuly
(any month can be chosen) each girl
pays just two cents. With thirtNfive
girls that makes seventy cents. which
is duly deposited by the trustees In
the bank.
Beginning with the week following
the assessment grows to four cents
then six cents the next week. and SO
on, increasing two cents each week
but the increase is so very gradual
that It is no great effort to put the
amount away.
The following June the money is
drawn out and each girl receives the
amount that she has paid in, which
would be $3.50, the saving beginning
in July plus about 81 interest. You
will readily see that the amount saved
will provide a girl with a nice two
weeks vacation and 1t Is almost like
finding money. Until Christmas
when they need money most, the as
sessments are nominal, the "big" ones
coming in Lent. when one does not
need 60 much spending money.
AS the rule was made In the begin
ming that anyone who failed to pay
would lose what she had already put
In. everyone makes It point to pay
promptly. One good clause in the
laws stipulates that II any girl loses
her position or marries she can with,
draw the amount that abe has put in

laxlness.
Persons may share the common
complaint of laziness without any ap-
probation of how far II is responsible
for the saddest cases of mental and
moral disintegration. Laziness Is real
ly the key TO large share of what
passes for lack Of balance and perhaps
for insanity. It takes hold In tho
schoolroom where pupils slight the
work they most need because they
like It least. Having shirked the
studies which would have done most
to balance their meptalities, they pro-
ceed to emphasize this lopsidedness
by refraining from every line Of en-
deavor which is not to their liking.
They find hundred excuses for do
ing so. but nearly always their excuses
are not reasons. They do only what
they like until finally they do not like
