Jura Centenary.

Preparations are being made for the
celebration of yet another Swiss CEN
tenary-that of the admission into the
confederacy of the Bernese Jura,
which the powers added to the canton
of Berne after the downfall of Ma
poleon. The territory had previously
belonged to the prince bishop of'Bale;
and the change in it's status did not,
at the time, satisfy either its inhabi-
tants or the Bernese. The latter only
accepted the addition to their domin-
ions reluctantly, as an inadequate sub
stitute for their lost possessions in the
cantons of Vaud and Aarau. The for
mer would have preferred to join
either the canton of Bale or that of
Neuchatel The powers, however, set
tied the matter over their heads; and
the arrangement has worked well, in
spite of the fact that the Bernese are
demonstrating Protestants and the
Jurassiens are French-speaking Cath.

One of the big intercity under

Wisdom of Women,

IS SENTIMENT Law?

No? Well, there have been many

was not of experimenting Importance.
Yet l was led to undertake the defense
of Howard Bright through sentiment.
1T was pretty Lorna Bright, the
cousin of the young man, and secretly
engaged to him, who persuaded me,
by her protestations of Towards in
nocence, to undertake so desperate a
case. Old Charles Bright had driven
his son from his home, because he
preferred the life of a musician to en-
tering his business, and had forbidden
Lorna, his niece and adopted child, to
have anything more to do with him,
under penalty of being disinherited
also That was six months before the
murder occurred
Charles Bright was one of those
cantankerous old men who are cordial
ly hated by their neighbors. He had
big estate at Lanark, Nd, to which
he retired after having disposed OF
the business which he hoped Howard
would inherit, at price of two or
three hundred thousands. Among
those who hated him most strongly
was Pete Jones, a small farmer whose
lands he had taken when mortgage
| fell due Jones was violent, and
also crafty character. He had made
no open threat of violence, but the
old man had been in sufficient fear OF
him to have him arrested once as a
vagrant. The charge fell through, and
Jones lived around the village, doing
odd jobs, and> cherishing a burning

Poor Audustlne.

Militancy never showed itself to a
less considerable mood than when 1t
heayed a dead cat at Augustine BIZ
rell, secretary for Ireland. No one In
the British cabinet is more careful OF
and grateful to the amenities of life
than the Hon. Mr.. Birrell, and we
know he particularly shrinks from
dead cats as hide0us, however much
he might admire handsome Persian
on the hearthrug.
The wild ladies of England have
saddened his life enough as it is. One
of his former experiences was to be
kicked in the shin. We know that
Mr.. Birrell particularly dislikes this
form of assault even as he dislikes
having his hat crushed down over his
face, which, we believe, was another
outrage to which he was subjected.
We regard Mr.. Birrell as gentle
man who infinitely would prefer to
have the house of parliament burned
over his head than to accept such af-
fronts to his personal dignity. and it
is his fate that no militant ever does
him a dignifed damage, but always
puts him TO an annoying slight.1Chi-

II he had had, it would have been i'm
possible to discover the ealibre OF
the bullet, which had torn a jagged
hole through the skull and passed out
near the nape Of the neck
"AIl at once l had an idea. The
body had not yet been buried, though
the inquest was over. 1t occurred to
me that a bullet fired at such short
range would have had velocity enough
to have drilled a clean instead Of a
Jagged hole in the head. examined
the wound and found, not only that
the wound was hopelessly torn, so far
as measuring its size went, but that,
instead of being parallel with the
earth, or horizontal. it had down
ward angle of some 35 degrees.
That discovery sent me wild with
eagerness. 1t was easy to deduce
from this that the bullet had been
fired from a considerable distance. As
you doubtless know, gentlemen, at all
but point blank ranges the sight on
the rifle is elevated. so that the ball,
in its trajectory, takes first an upward
and then a downward course. In
other words, l had here a triangle, one
angle of which measured IS degrees,
and the base line, as surmised, about
1,50O yards-that is to say, the dis
lance between the murdered man and
Jones' cabin. The two other sides, Of
course, represented the ascending and
the descending lines of the bullets
flight.
The rife, l deduced from this,
must have been sighted to 1850 yards.
Three hundred yards from Jones'
cabin there was a small dry water
course in which a man might easily
lie concealed and have a clear line
of sight upon the front porch of the
Bright house. If my surmises were
correct, Jones had lain here and from
this spot had fired the fatal shot.
The district attorney consented to
take walk of inspection with me.
explained to him that / wanted to look
over the ground; on the way l told
him Of my theory. He rediculed the
idea, but together We made our way
into the swampy bottom of the dried
up rivulet. Suddenly we came upon
foot tracks converging toward single
spot from either bank. I stopped and
scraped up a few handfuls of earth.
After a moment / came upon the
rife barrel.
when we had disinterred it we
found that it was sighted to 1,15O
yards.
THAT is all, gentlemen. Jones, sur
prised, made complete and dramatic
confession, and afterward paid the
penalty of his crime. But, as / was
saying, sentiment has its proper place
in law, and if sentiment hadn't led me
to undertake young Howard's de-
tense he would have died shameful
death and Lorna Bright would not
have been happy wife for nearly
forty years"

Some Inevitable Delays.
There were delays. Even in this
age of romance mind does not imme-
diately fly to mind. Letters passed
backsand forth. The Doctors under
standing of his true soul mate repined.
More clairvoyance. Before her letters
came he would sit at his desk and
write out her very words that were on
the way to him.
Time and again he did this, so he
says.
DR.. Hartley explains that this power
represented an absolute consonance OF
soul--a real communion of spirit. He
proclaimed, vociferated, that he had
found his soul mate-that there were
soul mates, dull fools to the contrary,
and that he knew and she knew and
that he would show people the faith
that was In him.
He did.
He told his friends that he would
marry this correspondent of his with
out even setting his merely mortal
eyes upon her. His intuition, his tele-
pathic vision, had shown her to him a
thousand times. If one really believes,
why ask to be shown?
Ordeal a Matter of Necessity.
1t is time to introduce the woman in
the case-the woman who is still
yelled who must remain yelled to the
altar just to prove DR.. Hartley's faith.
That she deemed the ordeal important
is denied The idea has a certain
value of its own, she now admits. One

eye. she says-now But she wasn't

would think of as a candidate for mar

One need not be clairvoyant to
realize that this conservative ana

exuberant happiness that DIR. Hartley
insisted on sharing with the news
