EUL0GlZES THE WRONG DOG
EIoquence of Tactful Attorney Credited
to Newspaper Story and He
Loses His Case.

An old man was arrested for beat
Ing his wife. Application was made
to have him put under a peace bond.
Thinking the case too small for him
to bother with, relates Case and Com
ment. the county attorney asked Judge
Albert ID. Norton, then q young law
yer, TO appear for the state Mt the
trial. An attorney from MacOn-a
man who had quite a reputation as a
"pleader"-went over to defend the old
man. Curled in front of the defendant
was yellow dog. Vests "EuIOgy of
the Dog" had recently appeared in
some paper. 1t was not nearly so fa-
millar then as it has since become.
When the orator from Macon saw the
yellow dog at the old mans feet he re-
called Senator Vests speech, and was
alive to the opportunity for an effec-
tive appeal to the jury.
Gentlemen" and he indicated the
mOngrel, "when all other friends de-
sert the dog remains. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that Of accompanying to guard
against danger, to fight against
his enemies; and when the last
scene Of all comes, and when death
takes the master In its embrace, and
bis body Is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter If all other friends
pursue their way, there by his grave
side will be the noble dog he found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness, faith
full and true even in deathv'
So well was 1t delivered some of the
jurymen cried. All looked toward the
eyed defendant alphabetically. 1t Is
said that even the dogs eyes were
moist. 1t was pretty clear the defend
ants lawyer had things coming his
way; but Norton had the windup, and
during the noon recess he hunted up
q paper which had the dog speech I'm
II. This he produced and read to the
jury in the afternoon, word for word
as opposing counsel recited, and which
the jury thought was original.
"You see, gentlemen of the jury"
said Norton, Senator Vest was talking
about another dog altogether. He
never heard of this yellow cur!'
The jury found the defendant guilty.

"The POpe's FavOrite.'

Back to the life of Rome in the fif-
teenth century, Joseph McCabe takes
his readers in his book, "The Pope's
Favorite" From the records in the
Vatican, he has woven an historical
romance of the days of papal mag
nificence when Alexander VI was
Pope and Giulia Farnese, an Italian
peasant girl, was his favorite.
The Pope leads a brilliant and
frivolous life, and flaunts the gay
times before the indulgent people of
Rome.
When King Charles VIII marches
on Rome and takes as prisoner
Giulia, the Pope gives up Gem, the
brother of the Sultan, whom he holds
in captivity owing to his prejudice for
Catholicism. Happiness is again re-
stored when Giulia is returned.
