Effective Answer Of Irish Judge to
Defendants Plea In Breach OF
Promise Suit.

Irish legal celebrity. Judge Murphy,
mentioned by Judge Bodkin In "Recol-
lections Of an Irish Judge" delivered
a very effective charge to a jury In an
action for breach Of promise. The
defendant was not examined, and the
Judge commented strongly on this fact.
He was interrupted by the protest OF
the defendant.
"You have no right to say that, my
lord; sure, I wanted to be examined
and my counselor wouldn't let me-
"All right, my man." said the
Judge; "come up on the table and be
sworn. Why didn't you marry the
grip"
Because she hadn't the fortune /
wanted, my lord"
"How much was thatr"
"Five hundred pounds, no less"
Gentlemen Of the jury" said the
Judge, concluding his charge, "you will
find for the plaintiff five hundred
pounds damages. Now sir Ito the de-
~fendant), she has the fortune you

Lack Dramas In Verso.

It is q curious thing, In the present
high tide Of the drama, and remember
ing that the glory Of English literature
is it's poetry, that we have no good
modern English drains in verse. 1t Is
all the more remarkable because the
foremost French dramatist and the
foremost modern German dramatist
wrote their masterpieces In verse form
-"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Rostand
and "Die Versunkene GlOcke," by
Hauptmann.
John Masefield, when he writes
plays, writes them In prose, with only
slight exceptions. And so, for the most
part, have Synge, Yeats, Lord Dun
sany, and others. George Meredith
might have written poetic dramas in
the Elizabethan name Thomas
Hardy's "Dynasts" is an intellectual
rather than a poetic masterpiece-if
has nothing Of the sublime, emotional.
thrilling, transporting power OF Ros.
tand. We admire the authors mind
more than the work-William Lyon
Phelps In the Yale Review.

Mr.. BUSINESS MAN, ARE YOU
TRYING TO KEEP ABREAST?

A few years ago, every business
man or firm was a sort of rule and
guide unto himself. Then the schools
were run according to the crude
ideas of what often proved to be a
crude teacher. Then a young man
went to a medical college and spent
four or five months and came back
and went to dosing out medicine, but
things are different now. A mar
must know more about anything he
undertakes unless he expects failure.
So it is that the questions are asked
Are you Mr.. Business Man, trying
to keep abreast of the times by read
ing journals and books on how to
conduct your business along modern
lineS?"
"An hour with a book would have
brought to mind
The secret that took him a whole
year to find.
The secrets he learned at enormous
expense,
Were all on a library shelf to COM

Alas, for our hero! too busy to read;
He was also too busy, it proved, to
succeed"
The undersigned is prepared to

lowing publications all of which have
