OVERHEARD IN COURL
An Effective Plea Made by Counsel
For the Defendant.
The trial was proceeding quietly.
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.
"Ah," breatlied the brave hero ns
he crossed the canvas bridge, "the
lovely maiden sees me not! Her eyes
are giuea in anotner direction.
"Yes," spoke the dark villain as he
arose from behind the imitation rock,
"her eyes are glued with Stickem's
celebrated horse glue. Free samples
may be had in the lobby. Don't fall
to ask for them when you pass out"
And, lighting a fresh cigarette, the
dark villain strode off to draw his
commission from the glue company,
ills white teeth shining like piano keys
as he strode.?Chicago News.
His Mother.
"Mother," he said, putting his arms
around her and kissing her on the
brow, "I am going to marry the sweetest,
the loveliest, the noblest girl in the
world."
Looking up into his eyes, the good
lady by a great effort managed to keep
back her tears as she answered in broken
tones:

A Brutal Crime In Hartsville.
Recently Married Lady Assaulted by
Negro.?Criminal Will Be Caught.
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. C., Dec. 21.?His mental
state aggravated by exasperation
of missing a train he had intended to
take, Deputy Sheriff Fred Runion, of
Madison county, shot and killed himself
in a hotel here yesterday afternoon.
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

in the living present, heart within and
hope ahead. 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
