Washlnnton,a Two RlrthdaYa.

In 1882 Pope Gregory XIII ordered
that all the Catholic countries should
adopt n new calendar. This calendar
was correct and Is at the present
time In general use throughout the
world. In the year that the calendar
was adopted ten days were dropped.
Thus the day after October Of the
Julian calendar became October 10 In
the Gregorlan. This calendar was not
adopted by England until 1852. Wash
ington being born In 1882, he was
twenty years old at the time the new
calendar was adopted. Thus hts FIRST
20 birthdays fell on tho 18th Of Feb
ruary and the others fell on the 22nd.

II have always held" said the
judge quietly, shat there should be
great llberality In cross-examinations.
BY llberality 1 do not mean latitude
any more than by liberty 1 mean
license, but a wise range of inquiry
that will develop not only the special
facts and circumstances, but In way
reproduce the very atmosphere of the
Incident or event. For you know, my
daughter, you may get all the facts
and still not have the truth. Any blum
derhead at law can adduce the facts,
but 1t takes the artlst-the real touch
of genlus-to bring out the truth.
II remember in the Musmere case

then, In spite OF the fact that the nv

son."
She was sitting on low chair, a
kind Of ottoman, with her hands folded
across her knees. More than year
before she had returned from college,
bringing honors, live interest In af-
fairs and splendid health. Her father,
the distinguished jurist who had as
cended to the bench after making a for
tune in the practice of his profession, in
which his leadership was admitted by
his entire state, had expressed some
surprise when she said she wanted to
study law, but it was all arranged In n
day, and she had proved not only an
apt but an enthusiastic pupil. She
looked about as much like an attor-
ney as Portia. She was tall, graceful
and beautiful, with light hair that was
forever trying to escape It's restraints,
and with the kind blue eyes that see
opportunities and find out the best
ways Of encompasslng them.
1t must be confessed that the exami-
nation or cross-examination which fol-
lowed was somewhat out of the usual
order. The attorney, through Judge
Matthew Stake, ordered witness Mat
thew Stake to give to the jury of
twelve Matthew Stakes an account of
his life. Witness Stake did so I'm clean

lowing Wednesday would be his fifty
eighth birthday; he was born Of a good
family In straitened circumstances he
got his first education by home study
he afterward taught the district
school; he worked his way along and
managed to gain admission to the bar
by supporting himself by any kind of
respectable employment that came to

but success finally had come he made
q comfortable fortune and was elected
to the bench by both parties; yes, he
was married and he had one child,

testimony.
After Witness Stake had finished his
recital Judge Stake turned him over to
the attorney for the cross-examinatlon.

were days Of racing and card playing
and other kinds Of swift sport and fast

Witness Stake was startled, and did
not answer, and an appeal was made
to Judge Stake that the jury needed
the information. "Of course" she said,
