The prosecution had got in its case, and the defense began. "We claim, your honor," said the de- j fendant's counsel, with an impressive ?r])inop at the iurv. "that the plaintiff ?= - - in this case, who demands the payment of this note for $10,000 signed by my client and discounted at the Hohokus National bank in June last, is proved guilty by his own sworn testimony of contributory negligence and is therefore"? "I object, your honor," cried the counsel for the plaintiff, jumping to his feet and glaring at bis opponent. "The learned counsel has no right to make assertions that are false. I demand to be informed In what part of the plaintiffs testimony he has testified to any such absurd fact." "On page 23 of the stenographer's record," replied the defendant's counsel, "the plaintiff testifies that he loaned my client $10,000." "That is all true enough," said the other. "But what of it?" "He ought to have known better than to let him have the money," said the defendant's counsel.?Harper's Weekly. Another Advertising Scheme. The moon shone brightly on the old mill.

Hartsville, Dec. 22, 1 a. m.?There is a great deal of excitement here tonight because of an outrage committed upon a white woman by a negro at this time unknown. On account of the fact that it is rain mg ana tnar me crime was commimea at night, the news was slow to spread, bnt at midnight a large crowd had collected, and it is sure that the negro ] will be caught. The young woman, who is respected most highly, is but recently married. She was alone at home Monday night, when the brute forced his way in and overpowered her. Dr. Eggleston says that her'injuries are serious, but not necessarily dangerous. She fought the negro off; and will recognize him upon sight. The crowd has the guilty man spottedjand he will be arrested before daylight. No mob | violence is feared, although the men are deeply incensed.?The State. Misse&CTrain;:Hilled Himself. Asheville, N.

Runion and his wife came here Saturday for Christmas shopping and had intended leaving7 on an early, train but overslept. Runion was greatly irritated and refused to eat any dinner and while his wife was in the dining room he blew out his brains. Leap Tear Nearly Gone. Leap year has nearly gone and many of our sweetest and best girls have not availed themselves of its privileges. Here is some prose poetry that we suggest they read and act on. Tell us not in idle jingle "marriage is an empty dreamfor the girl is dead that's single, and things are not what they seem. Life i9 real, life is earnest, single blessedness a fib; "Man thou art, to man returr.efch," has been spoken of the rib. Not enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end or way, but to act that each tomorrow findsus nearer marriage day. Life islongand youth is fleeting and our hearts, though light and gay, still like peasant drums are beating wedding marches all the day. In the world's of battle, in the morning of life, be not like dumb driven cattle?be a heroine?a wife! Trust no future, however pleasant, let Via /loo/? noct hnrv if-a rioa/t ant nrf.

Lives of married folks remind us we can live our lives as well, and departing leave behind us such examples as shall "tell"?such examples that another, wasting time in idle sport, a forlorn, unmairied brother seeing, shall take heart and court. Let U9, then, be up and doing, with a heart on triumph set; still contriving, still pursuing, and each one a husband get. j EVEBYTH1NG IN JEWELRY I i ??^?i FINE Watches, Clocks, Diamonds, Silverware, Handpainfed China, Cut Glass, Lockets, Chains, Etc.
