Great as Cross-Examiner.

Cnmoved patience, astonishing grasp OF
detail and great ingenuity in cross-ex-
animation We're his assets at the bar.
His formidab BILE rival. Sir Edward Carson
succeeds by crushing the opposition wit
nesses and by the vigor of his speeches
to the jury. The method of Sir Rufus
was more Suave. His appeal was always
TO the intelligence Of the jury rather
than to its emotions. He accumulated
a great number of very small points, and
combined them in a telling total.
| remember an important commercial
case. in which he was engaged. usual,
against Sir Edward Carson. He had been
cross-examining an obstinate witness for
a day and a half For much of that weary
time he had been striving vainly to ex-
tract a certain point that he wanted very
badly. He could not get it. He worked
on and on, patient polite. persistent;
wearing the witness down. little by little.
And at last, quite suddenly. out came the
precise thing that he wanted.
His emotioness manner vanished like
a wrath For an instant another man
looked out of his eyes. He laughed with
a curious. giggling chuckie. He spoke.
and there was. for the first and last time
I have ever heard it in his voice. dis

was alight with the eXatation of the
hunter who has just brought down diff
cult game. Then the mask was on again.

been a glimpse of the true man, pur-
suing his ends with intensity under a
curtain of calm.
His parliamentary record is known He
got in for Reading In 1904, achieved in
rapid succession the positions of solicitor
general and of attorney general and In
1912 was promoted to the cabinet--a
honor very rarely bestowed on an attor-
ney general. 1t may seem paradoxical to
call man with such tally of politica
success a parliamentary failure, yet thai
is what Sir Rufus most distinctly is-or
was. Sir John Simon, the solicitor gen.

He then carried her into the house.
II is said that Kennedy was in a
drunken stupor when he shot Mrs.
Kennedy The quarrel followed the
running down of one Of the Kennedy
children by the father who came
home late Saturday from town, driv-
ing a horse to a small buggy. After
running over the boy, the father left
him lying in the road.

Across the field Kennedy followed

the while with the buggy whip. Mrs.

The woman managed to get away

The request was not granted and

AS for Burtlebauch-well, he was
a friend of Julian Hawthorne, the
famous writer whose charges of mis-
management against the prison ad-
minstration created a nation wide
sensation. Burtlebauch, encouraged
by Hawthorne, used some of his spare
time in prison writing verse, and,
while he was not penalized a single
day for misconduct and was never
reported, he was known to be in sym
pathy with the views expressed by
Hawthorne and Morton.
Burtlebauch did not say that this
was the reason he was "railroaded'
out of town on the TRANSPORTATION fur
nished by the Government to it's dis
charged convicts. He merely recited
the "railroading" as a disconnected
factor 1t was q fact that only the

WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride In His Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old, stiff
jointed rooster amidships. and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and TO
look about for a place to turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
Isn't that just like his tender heart?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
just. cant bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder. to her husband, she
said: George. remember that APP
pointment. We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; but | just
know IL had turned back l could
have killed that old hen just as easy
as l did the oster"-Judge.
