tenant, and two others who identi-
lied him. The facts were plain, indis-
putable. Jan Radymno was questioned.
He admitted everything-in a thick
voice, for the thrust had lacerated
his tongue-but without flinching.
Two Of the five in the court-martial
were in favor Of having the prisoner
taken to headquarters, some ten miles
off; two others, including Captain Eye
dotoff, wanted sentence pronounced
and executed at once. The decision
rested with the general. He said that
inasmuch as responsibility regarding
operations in the woods had been con-
fded to him he was in favor of imme-
diate sentence The two captains nod
ded their heads. Jan Radymno had
been gallant officer, good comrade,
but this was plain case.
General Pronounces Sentence.
So the general in a cold. inf1eXible
voice pronounced sentence. Then he
said, as an afterthought: "Have you
some wish to express?" Jan Radymnc
took one step forward, leaned hard on
the table and said: "I have little
boy, Piotr, six years old. I ask,
command, / implore, that he be
brought up as a Pole-to remember, to
love his people and his native land,
and to be informed how his father end.
ed. That is my last wish. My ever
lasting curse on you, uncle, If it be
not carried out"
Then they took him away behind
the house. His uncle leaned against
the wall and shaded his eyes, but he
said nothing. This had been his IA
vorite nephew. He sank into a chair
and hid his face in both hands. He
waited. Outside six men were digging
grave in the sandy soil. Jan sat
motionless near by, his head on his
breast, gazing at a faded photograph
of his little boy. At last he lifted his
head. He stood up, removed his torn
blouse, and that showed his shirt in
shreds as well. He slowly moved to
the wall and put his back against it.
The sergeant of the firing squad came
up with a handkerchief. Jan motioned
him away.
Then the old general, waiting, heard
the shot that >meant his nephew's
death.

PURITY OF JUDICIAL ERMlNE
Termed 40 Rabbit Skin oby Redoubs-
able Advocate Who Was Defending
Prisoner at Rodmin Asslxes.

At Bodmin assizes once, q barr1ster,
while pleading. was interrupted by the
Judge:
'Mr. Carter, you are wasting the
time Of the court"
"Time Of the court!" retorted the
truculent veteran, glaring flercely at
the bench. "Your lordship means
your lordship's dinner!"
The Judge threw up his hands in
despair, and Carter continued his
harangue In peace.
The same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending a man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
False pretenses," said he, with
fine scorn. ''Why, we all make them
every day, barristers and solicitors
and judges-the whole lot of us. Talk
about the purity of the judicial er-
mine!" Here he pointed derisively to
the learned judge, who sat covering
on the bench. "Why, it's only rabbit
skin!"
Shouts of laughter greeted this ir-
reverent statement, which investiga-
tion would probably show to be literal
ly true.

Ossining, N Y.-Clarence Hagadorn
was sent to the workhouse for 80
days for stealing hug from Miss

His defense was that when Miss
Gates was entering a street car he
ventured to put his arm around her
to help her onto the runningboard.

planned when Policeman Irving had
caught him after a chase of several

Mi. Understands Suggestion.
From the Hartford Courant1


The recall of our ambassador at Berlin
and the dismissal of the German ambas-
sador at Washington would not mean a
declaration of war 1t would simply mean
that under the present conditions we de-
cline to have friendly intercourse with
the nation that has been guilty of so
many offences against humanity. 1t
would be an emphatic expression of our
ilsapproval and our Indignation.
If the severance of diplomatic rela-
tens between Germany and the United
States affected only the two countries,
more might be said in favor of Mr. Wick
eTsham's suggestion, but just now Mr..
Gerard is the only medium that Great
Britain and other nations have at Berlin.
twas to him that those nations confded
cane, and if we should. recall him we
might be doing an injustice to nations
with which we are friendly. 1t might be
doubtful expedient to express our own
migration in manner to do injury to
our ueighbors. 1t is possible that even
that scruple might be removed, for either
Spain or Portugal might be able to do
for the belligerents what the United
States IS now doing. In view of the I'M
certainty in Italy, that nation would have
to be left out of the consideration.
Al any rate. the part of Mr.. Wicker
shan S advice that relates to our friendly
relations with Germany is worth earnest
thought. Its material effect upon the
var would. of course, be inconsiderable,
but It's moral effect would be more dura-
Bile than the war itself.
