Demonstrating How Hard Ne A.
sauited Man, 10 Speedily Shown

II happened In the courtroom during
the trial Of husky young man who
was charged with assault and battery.
relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Throughout an especially severe cross
examination the defendant stoutly
maintained that he had merely pushed
the plaintiff "a little bit"
well. about how hard2" qncried the
prosecutor.
"Oh. Just little bit" responded the
defendant.
Now" said the attorney, 'fOr the
benefit Of the judge and the jury. you
will please step down here aLh. with
me for the subject. illustrate just bow
hard you mean"
Owing to the unmerciful badgering
which the witness had just been
through. the prosecutor thought that
the young man would perhaps overdo
the matter to get back at him. and thus
incriminate himself.
The defendant descended as per
schedule, and approached the waiting
attorney. When he reached him the
spectators were astonieiied to see him
slap the lawyer In the face. kick him
In the shins. seize him bodily, and,
finally. with a supreme effort. lift him
from the floor and huri him PROSTATE
across a table.
Turning from the bewildered prose-
cutor. he faced the court and explained

Emerson replied that he never
laughed.
'Oh, yes. you do. father" cried the

garden"
WELL" Emerson said. II do some
times laugh at something I read when
a boy, but 1t Is foolish and not worth

Mr.. Conwell said that was just wha,

young man who wrote two letters, one
to his washerwolnan and one to his

13 SONS, IL GIRLS IN WAR
John Ward Of North Carolina Has 35
chiidren-Boys in Army, Girls
in War Work.

Raleigh, N. C.-John Ward, a negro,
Of Goldsboro, has thirteen OF his eight
cen sons in the Ninth and Tenth Unit
ed States cavalry, while his seventeen
daughters are busy with war work.
The facts are vouched for by Sheriff
r. 81. Edwards of Wayne county, Of
which Goldsboro is the county seat.
Ward also probably holds the record
for quadruplets, says Sheriff Edwards,
who gives the record thus:
Ward was born April 21, 1855, at
1oldsboro. He has married three
times and his last wife is now, living.
His first wife bore him fifteen children,
four at one time twice, three at one time
twice, one at a time once. His second
wife bore him two at one time twice,
three at one time once and five one at
a time. His present wife has borne
him eight, one at time. His first
wife lived six years and three weeks
after marriage, his second wife eight
years and six months. The number OF
boys is: By first wife, eight, by second
wife, five, and by third wife, five. or
those now in the service seven are by
the first wife, five by the second and
one by the present wife. Another son
has served in the cavalry, but is now
living at Wilson, n. G.

The Sap Of Spring.

When the sap Of spring is bursting
the fetters Of winter the general hu-
man heart beats high. A few Of US
philosophers receive amid the rich but
sober tints Of autumn a happiness that
we would not exchange for any other
season, but we are a minority, and
small. The head of one Of the most
important departments at Washington.
who thinks about the processes Of man
kind, has a theory that makes regu'
lar curve Of the relation of the seasons
to the appetite for war. AS the buds
open, every nation thinks it is on the
edge Of victory. This curve rises for a
while, begins to decline in the summer
and gets we'll down in the autumn.
The period therefore, when statesmen.
if they had decided to make peace
could do it most easily, is from the
days Of goldenrod and autumn browns
to just before the greening of the
buds. The story of coal, tragic
story to the poor. helps this curve, but
there is in it much of sheer poetry, in
dependent of more solid things.-Nor-
man Hapgood in Leslie's.
