Colored Evidence.

A weIknown lawyer was trying to
make clear to legal student the sig
nifcanee of the term "colored evi-
dence,' meaning by that evidence
which has been tampered with.
THE best illustration | can think
of came within my observation not
long ago. said the lawyer. A physi-
elan had said TO a fair patient:
Madam, you are a little run
down. You need frequent baths and
plenty of fresh air, and / advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
clothes; nothing stiff or formal.
When the lady got home, this is
how she rendered to her husband the
advice given her by the doctor;
: He says | must go to the sea
shore, do plenty of motoring, and get
some new summer gowns. = Phila

Attacks Reported RepuIsed

Bulgaria s long awaited thrust at
Serbia has been begun. News de
spatches telling of the start of the Bull
garian drive were confirmed this morn
ing by an official announcement te!e-
graphed from Nish to London. All
attacks by the Rolgarians have been
rcpulsed, the Scrbians declare.
The Bulgarian movement is designed
to take the scrbiaus on the flank, while
the powerful Tcutonic armies of in
vasion are battcring the Serbian de-
fcnses on tho north.
The Bulgarian invasion began Mon
day night, the drive seemingly being
aimed at a railroad that runs from
Belgrade to Constantinople through
Nish.
Greece has not taken a definite stand
in the conflict. In the opinion of Former
Premier Vonizelos the only question
is as to the time when Greece will en-
ter the war. An important victory for
Russia is reported by Petrograd which
states that the Austro- German lire on
stripa in Galicia has been pierced and
that the Russians are vigorously push
ing their advance. The possible poiti-
cal effect on the situation in the Bal
kans may have been n strong consid-
Grafton. Rumania's s participation in
the war on the side of the entente
allies is assured, according to the Ru-
mauian premier.
