Testimony Of the Blind.

Before the trial was half ended it
was apparent that most eredence was
placed in the testimony for the de-
fendant.
That is because he has two blind
men testifying for him. said a man
who has served on many juries.
When it comes to a question of men,
ory the word of a blind man goes
further in a courtroom than that of a
person with good eyes. 1t is with the
jurymen that his testimony really
counts. but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed This is taking into
consideration. of course, that the blind
man has reputation for veraclty.
We assume that with the loss of one
faculty others have developed. What
a man cannot see he hears. and his
mind stores up. Our faith In the re-
tentiyeness Of a blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be-
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat q converse
ton verbatim"

That is one Of the first things they
want to know. Churches, theaters,
even dressmakers can wait a few days,
but the beauty doctor Is an immediate

get much satisfaction out OF me. Any
number of beauty specialists leave
cards for distribution, but so many Of
them have been mixed up in lawsuits
