HER DEFENSE SEEMED GOOD
STAMP Of Conscious Innocence" on
Words Of Woman Accused Of
Stealing 6oets.

A bright spirit of earlier days,
Charley McKeand, an advocate ready
for any emergency, dropped into
rourt too late one day to read the
dispositions, and found himself faced
with the duty of defending woman
for stealing pair Of boots He
burst into a moving harangue, and
said he would read the very words Of
her defense on arrest, since they bore
"the stamp of conscious innocence"
He seized the dispositions, and went
on: cha! Here we are. Oh, h'mw
He faltered little when he saw
them. "Well, gentlemen, this uned-
ucated woman does not put it as you
or I would put it, but l said would
read her words and l will. What
she says is: How the hell could l
have the - boots when he was
wearing them?' And, gentlemen"
continued McKeand in concluding
burst of eloquence, II ask you with
some confidence, how the hell could
she?"

PIANO WASN'T REALLY HURT
But the scotchman Admitted "she
Slipped and Broke Some Of the
Front Teeth"

A great house warming was TAX
ing place at the Dougal-M'Dougal's
place. There was game to hunt,
ghosts to ditto, and good food and
vine withal. There were bagpipes
and haggis, dancers and singers. To
crown all, Dougal-M'Dougal had Or
dered a 200-guinea piano from Lon
don. He went up to town, but de
cided not to take it down with him,
as it was too bulky. Instead, he had
it sent down. When he finally re-
turned he asked his trusted retainer
if the piano had arrived all right.
'sWeel," the former replied, "she's
as RIGHT as We cud expect. She slipped
as she was ganging tae the hoose, and
broke few of her front teeth, but I
Gamma think she's really hurt"

MODERN MORALS.

Bishop Wilson of New York said
the other day that the morality Of
New York politicians was not all
that could be desired.
"1n politics, as in some lines Of
business" he continued, "the remark
of the very cynical young woman
holds true.
ESQ you are going to marry
George at last she said to friend.
What is he like?'
CHE is the most upright, high
minded, honorable fellow in the
world,'' was the enthusiastic reply.

cynic, you'll starve to death. -

REPORTER GOT IN WRONG.

The reporters life is happy one.
When he suffers an indignity the
course of that indignity is usually
beneath consideration, or else the
insult is due to some misunderstand-
ing. A reporter went to a house the
day after wedding and said to the
servant who answered his ring: "Can
you let me have some details, please,
of yesterdays ceremony The
servant frowned. ono, l can't" she
said. "They ate every crumb! And
l think you ought to be ashamed, an
ahe-bodied young man like you, go
ing around begging for cold details! !"
