SYMF ATHY, BUT NO APOLOGY
Lawyers Tart Remarks Not Greatly
softened by His ReIoinder
When "called Down."

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland.
was trying his first case before q
Judge named Merrick Lipscomb, wish
ing to impress the Judge, was. in the
language OF the bar, right lippy in his
remarks to the eminent gentleman.
Finally, Merrick lost patience and ex-
claimed:
"Sit down! Sit down, sir! II you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt of court"
Lipscomb sat down, put turned to a
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked, in an undertone:
That's the crustiest, most opinion
ated old judge | ever saw. I'll show
him where he gets off. He's an old
fool"
IF you talk like that, I'll beat you
up" replied the young lawyer. He's

Will Cut Insurance Rates.

Columbus-The Ohio liability board,
aroused by the continuous warfare
conducted against it by the private
determined to give these companies
"a run for their money" 1t proposes,
in other words, to sell liability insur-
ance at cost to the employers of the
state, so that the inducement to do
business with the state will be too
great to resist.
The plan of the commission specifi-
cally is to inaugurate on July l, 1913,
a complete readjustment of rates for
each of the several classes of en-
ployment which has established ali
average loss ratio. In all cases where
The accounts of the state board show
chat balance remains to the credit
of any class of industry, the premium
rate will be reduced accordingly, after
the payment of awards for injuries or
deaths. In addition to this, each in
dividual member of any class who has
been a subscriber to the state insur
ance fund for six months or more
previous to next July will be entitled
TO a credit on the premium or pre-
miums next due from him. The
amount of the credit he will receive
will be in proportion to the balance
remaining to the particular class of
industry in question.
The readjustment of rates is to take
place every six months after next
July, so that the employers will be
given every possible reduction in their
rates.
In connection with the proposed Gin
surance at cost" plan, the liability
board has adopted a resolution which
says:
ut is the object and purpose ulti-
mately to fix and maintain for each
class of employment the lowest pos
sible rates consistent with the crea-
tion of reasonable surplus, and the
payment of the legitimate claims for
injury and death from the state in
surance fund, as may be demonstrated
by actual experience in the admins
tration of the law"
The reserve fund is to be made up
by taking 10 per cent of the money
paid into the state insurance fund un-
til a surplus is created that will be
sufficiently large to guarantee the
state insurance fund, in the boards
estimation.

The horror of it! With Havelock

Scattered like chaff before the wind,

battle, the negro Hall and a group Of
his bluejacket shipmates heard the
horrible story as related above, from
the lips Of a half-caste woman con-

gashes in the walls the height of
woman's neck. Then they turned
away, sick at heart, but swore to be
avenged.
Forty-five miles away another des-
perate siege was being conducted. At
Lucknow, one of the most beautiful
cities in India, handful Of English
men were holding out against the
fierce hordes of Sepoys who hemmed
them in on every side.
Havelock set out for Lucknow with
the greater part of his force, leaving
Cawnpore in charge of Colonel Neill
Among others left behind under Neill

situation and vented a part of their
pent-up vengeance by forcing a num-

after having been obliged to fall back
upon Cawnpore by reason of the ex-

The gallant Neill was with him when
he finally succeeded in cutting his way

Havelock and his men, though
strong enough to reinforce the besieg-
ed troops in Lucknow and save the
English garrison from destruction,
We're not strong enough to cut their
way to safety, hampered with women
and children and wounded amounting
to 1900 souls. Thus the siege con-
tinued upon larger scale.
Meanwhile, Sir Colin Campbell had
arrived in India. He was to assume
the chief command Of the forces in
India, and his first task was to rescue
the garrison at Lucknow. Upon the
9th of November he led an army of
five thousand men and thirty guns out
Of Cawnpore, and among these was
the naval brigade under William
Peel. ....

as the 24-pounders kicked back after
each discharge, 1t became necessary
for the men to enter the danger zone
to drag them back into position. At
each recoil the Sepoys concentrated
their fire upon the little detachment,
and each discharge cost human life.
Encouraging his shipmates by his
fearless example, the negro was al

streaming down his face where piece
Of shell had grazed him, stood by his
gun and urged his fellow bluejackets
on by word and deed.
Throughout the long afternoon the
men hammered away at the twenty
foot wall. Gun after gun was aban-
donsd as their crews were shot down,
but the negro hero was game to the
last. Shortly before dark the COM
mander gave the order to collect the
killed and wounded and retire for the
night, but Hall had to be peremptor-
lily ordered to retire by his superior
before he obeyed.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Salmon of
the naval brigade had climbed a tree
and discovered a small aperture in
the wall The enemy saw him and
volleyed at him. Badly wounded, he
fell into the arms of his men and re-
ported what he had seen For this
brave act he was rewarded with a
Victoria Cross.
The English were quick to take ad-
vantage Of the information, and among
the first men to rush the breach was
William Hall, wounded, but hacking
right and lift with his cutlass. Early
upon the following morning, the Resi-
dency was relieved and second mass
acre averted
In due time, Hall received his Vic,
toria Cross. as both his commanding
officers and shipmates were agreed
that his gallantry had been the most
conspicuous event of day memorable
for its many brave actions.
Hall lived to take part in the bom-
bardment of Alexandria many years
later, and was awarded the Egyptian
medal and it's inseparable companion,
the Khedive's Star. With his Grim.
