JiunwMUis ikpartmcnt. Guessing Tims In Court. One day In referring to humorous happenings in court. Congressman Champ Clark told of an Important law suit tried at day Center, Missouri, in which the testimony of a small boy touching the period of time required to get a bucket of water for his mother became a question of considerable importance to the opposing side. The lad had stated that it took him just ten minutes to get the water.] The opposing attorneys adopted means, in their questioning of the lad. that were calculated to rattle the witness, but to no avail. Finally one of the attorneys pulled out his watch, proposing to test the lad's notion of time. The lawyers who depended upon the boy's testimony strenuously objected to this course, for it is wellknown that nothing is harder than to 111 ?rul tratra tha no UK in IT of time. I However, the Judge ordered the test to be made. The court clock waa stopped, watches were drawn, and the lad told to begin the test After a minute or so the silence in the court-room became oppressive; everyone fidgeted nervously, except the youngster, who chewed gum, swung his foot against the rounds of his chair and gazed placidly over (be benches as though the procedure had little Interest for him. Three, four, five, six. minutes passed, and still he made no sign. Then the lawyers resumed their efforts to rattle the witness. "Isn't the time about up?" asked one'. "Nope," answered the boy, chewing gum harder than ever. Seven and eight minutes elapsed. "Haven't you got that water pumped yet?" said one of the attorneys In a tone intended to convey the Impression that more than ten minutes had passed. "Reckon not." sententiously replied the boy. Whereat his own lawyers chuckled. Then nine minutes passed; and tick, tick. tick, went me seconds toward tne ten-minute mark. About four seconds before the limit set. the boy drawled out: "Gents. I think I got that water d rawed." After the trial when some one asked him how he had contrived to guess the time so correctly, he replied: "Oh, I Just sorter knowed, that's all." Why He Felt Solemn.?Just after the Inauguration parade on the fourth a certain Georgia congressman entered the lobby of the Rlggs house, where a number of his brother law-makers met him. This particular Georgian looked crestfallen and had a face on him as long as an overseer's wages. He was asked the cause and one of his friends suggested that a little fluid might help him. "No, no,' answered the Georgia representative. T regard this as a very solemn occasion, and I am reminded of what old man Bod Toombs said just after Alex. Stephens had made his famous speech against secession. When Stephens had concluded his mastery effort, Toombs, .who. of course, was on the other side, arose and proposed three cheers for the speaker. Governor Johnson met Toombs after the meeting and congratulated him that he did not permit his prominent and pronounced secession ideas to glow out. aI congratulate you on your splendid conduct,' said Gov. Johnson. "Toombs put on that droll look and answered dryly, 'Yes, I always behave myself at a funeral.' "Boys, I feel Just like Toombs did." Then the boys fell in one by one and lined up at the drink emporium. Mors Hat.?Two children were praising the pluck of dogs. "A good dog," said one, "has the same kind of pluck that old Jerome McWade used to show. "He was a farmer, seventy years old, but still hale and hearty. One morning he and his two sons got to wrangling over their strength, and Jerome declared that he could load quite as fast as thev could Ditch it. "So to the fields they went, and Jerome got into a hay wagon with his fork, and the two boys down below began to pitch the hay up to him as fast as they could pitch it. "The old man stood up to his work stoutly. He loaded with lightning speed, and all the while he kept calling down: 'More hay! More hay.'" "The boys worked hard. Their youth told In their favor. Old Jerome got to loading more and more untidily. 8ttll as he scrambled about on top of the uneven mounds he continued to shout. 'More hay!' "All of a sudden he tripped as he dug in his fork and fell from the wagon to the ground. " 'Ah.' said his eldest son, 'what are you doing down here?' "Jerome as he rose answered: . " 'I came down for more hay.'" Time Flies.?James Whltcomb Riley says that he was summoned as a witness in a case tried In an Indiana court where one of the witnesses before him evinced some disinclination to state her age. "Is it very necessary?" coyly asked the witness, a spinster of uncertain age. "It is absolutely necessary, madam," interposed the Judge. "Well," sighed the maiden, "if I must. I suppose I must. I didn't see how it could possibly affect the case, for, you see " "Madam," observed the judge, with some asperity, "I must ask you not to further waste the time of this court. IVIIlUiy sinter juui a^c. Whereupon the spinster showed signs of hysterics. "I am, that Is. I was " "Madam, hurry, hurry up!" exclaimed the Judge, now thoroughly Impatient. "Every minute makes It worse, you know!"?Collier's. Spectacles That Deceived.?The late Senator Hawley seldom told stories, but one of his friends says that this one was one of his favorites: "Edgar Rodger M. Sherman was one of the best lawyers ever raised In Connecticut. He was often pitted against Mr. Daggett, afterward chief Justice, at the bar. and who was a pretty fair match for Sherman. It happened on one occasion that Daggett was a long time hunting up a reference In a law book, and to Increase his embarrassment?for he was on his legs In the midst of his speech, and the court impatient for him to proceed?Sherman said to him: " 'Brother Daggett, will you have my spectacles?' " 'No, I thank you,' said Daggett, quietly, 'there was no truth ever seen t through your spectacles.' " iHisccltaucous fading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. News and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, March 31: Mrs. Meek Smith and little daughter, Claude, from Clover, are visiting Capt. and Mrs. S. S. Ross....A Are was discovered on the cotton platform near the freight depot yesterday morning by Officers Henry Lockhart and D. E. Lemmons, at half past four o'clock. They secured the assistance of the night operator at the depot and getting the hose reel, had the Are under control in a very short time. The Are alarm was sounded, but not until the Are was very n>?ar under control, and, for some reason or other, only a few of the Aremen responded, so it was owing to the vigilance and efforts of Messrs. Lockha-t and Lemmons that the Are was prevented from gaining considerable headway and doing un told damage. As it was, sixteen bales of cotton belonging to Mr. J. A. Car * ? U*. roll ana tweive oaten uciuubius iuuh. Dudley Jones were greatly damaged. No train had passed since 1.30, and, as It had been only about thirty minutes since one of the patrolmen passed around when the fire was discovered, it might well be supposed that the Are was the deed of an Incendiary.

Dishonest People Are Victims of Their Own Folly. Some day some wise, good man with a bent for facts, figures, and statistics is going to compile a big, fat book about "Men Who Threw Away Their Chances." It will be a good book, if it is compiled as it should be, from first hand facts, and it will be a big book if it is to include stories of half of the many ways men throw away their chances. When it is printed a whole lot of men will see why they failed?that It was only their own faults and not the circumstances of life, as they thought it was; and it will pave the way for the better book that will inevitably follow it, which will tell how not to throw away one's chances. For sometime some man will be wise enough to tell Just how this is to be done. One of the stories that will surely go Into the "Men Who Threw Away Their Chances" book was recently told by a group of four men, and the writer was the attentive audience. It was the story of how one man came so near to being successful that it was only a few "dirty tricks" that kept him from the top. He was dishonest. "There was no earthly reason why Blank shouldn't have made a big hit," said the man who started the conversation, and who was head of the firm that had but recently repudiated Blank. "He had everything that ought to make a good business man. He was young, healthy, brainy, a hard worker, shrewd and he knew his business to the last dot. "He came to us from another house, and we never knew till a couple of weeks ago that he was anything but a model young business man. But he wasn't. He was crooked, dishonest. "It took us some time to And this out?years, in fact. He did his work satisfactorily, conscientiously strove to do his best by the Arm, and rose rapidly all the while. There was nothing to keep him from going right to the top, and his name was often mentioned as the future president of the company. "Then, one fine day, came the discovery that Blank was crooked. Never mind how the discovery came about. We aren't giving away any business secrets. But we discovered that in one big deal he had been figuring with a competing house. "Blank's name Isn't mentioned as a possible future head of our bouse any . more. He Isn't mentioned much at all any more. O, we didn't lose over a couple of thousand dollars, because we managed to buy off the deal, but now we. and the competing house, and every house in our line know that Blank is crooked. He was too high to be thrown out suddenly without question being asked, so every one interested had to know 'what was the matter.' Of course, the competing house didn't dare to take him on for fear that he'd double cross them, as he tried to do us, and no one else will. "And let n>e tell you that despite all this talk about honesty being a dead letter In business today, If a dishonest trick happens to be linked with your name you are* a dead one, so far as success In your line Is concerned. There is no quicker or surer way for a young man with good prospects before him to cut his throat than to do a dirty trick. I know this, for I've seen It happen too often to leave any doubt about It." The man who made the foregoing statement Is a flrst-class type of the business man as he Is today. He Is not given to moralizing, and some of his enemies declare that he Is devoid of morals in his business life. He is practical, considering all that the word means In commercial life today, and he is not entirely Ignorant of what It is to be called a monopolist and a grabber. But this successful man is honest. No one ever said that he was not. Even his enemies, ones who are willing to swear that he has caused them to lose thousands through harsh measures, admit that he is honest. That is one reason why he is successful. Of course, there are other reasons?many or tnem?ror aumo noneBty win never win success for anyone. But without the honesty success is only a vague chance. The man quoted worked up from a place on the shipping dock of the firm he now heads, and when he says that If he had not been entirely honest he would never have climbed to the top, his word should be listened to. "I couldn't be anything else and win," Is the way he puts It. "Without going Into the ethics of the thing, I will say that no young man can be anything than honest and ever amount to anything. Especially the young man who, through hard work and effort, has mounted to a position where a big success looms up before him. He. of all men. must be scrupulously honest, for a 'dirty trick' then means instant and complete failure. Nothing but honesty pays, even In the business world." Therefore, one type of the stories that will have to go Into the book of "Men Who Threw Away Their Chances" will be the story of the man who failed because he was dishonest. There will be many other kinds of stories, but this will be one of the most prominent, for it will tell of the ruin of men who surely would have succeeded otherwise. It will tell of the ruin of men who were Just on the verge of becoming eminently successful who fell because of one act to the level of the common criminal; of men J who, through a little dishonesty, fell from prominent positions in the social world to the low under world Inhabited only by those who have lost that which no man can lose and be aught but an outcast?the respect of others and of himself. Dishonesty never pays. And to the man who for reasons, cannot hope to mount to the high places in the world honesty is to be urged more than to any one else. Be honest, you men whom the world counts failures. Be honest in every part of your lives, and no man shall have the right to say that your lives have not been a success.?Chicago Tribune.

FOR THE LADIES. Helpful Hints on What to Wear and How to Wear It. ? A new sleeve has little horizontal tucks that form a band down the outside from shoulders to elbow. ? The new embroidered galoons are beautiful In coloring: and deslgrn, as are the applique embroidery trimming^. ? Stiff linen collars are destined te be worn in the early spring. Silk petticoats now match the gown instead of being of a contrasting or even a harmonizing shade. ? There Is a new linen scattered with small blossoms that will be very smart this summer made up Into the useful Bhirt waist suit. These linens, which resemble old fashioned calico, ! are very garish in coloring. ? A girdle which would be lovely worn with evening gowns of any kind Is made of folds of white satin ribbon, alternating with folds of gold braid with a heavy twist of the braid at the back, and the girdle fastened In front with tiny white satin bows. ? Tuckers are to be In evidence on a great many spring dresses. As a consequence, exquisite ones are being made, of hand tucks and fine lace or of the combination of heavy and light laces that Is one of this spring's innovations. ? Heavy lace or batiste, or Swiss embroidery motifs are extensively used In combinations with Valenciennes upon many of the line lingerie blouses. The shirt sleeve Is In some Instances a trifle fuller at the armhole than It was formerly, and the tucks down from the armhole have disappeared. The regulation shirt cuff with link buttons is as much In evidence as ever. Handkerchief linen and French batiste are the favorite materials for foundations to the sheer embroidered waists. Both "do up like Iron." ? One of the most charming In the season's fashions is the use of silk bands edging ruffles of silk muslin that trim evening frocks. An effective frock recently worn at a small dinner dance was of white moussellne de sole, mounted over turquoise blue silk. The skirt was trimmed with flounces of wide Valenciennes, with the points falling Into a straight band of blue velvet. The same Idea with a narrower lace and band made a fichu arrangement around the low cut bodice, and a wide sash of the muslin was edged with blue velvet. ? Lingerie blouses are worn extensively with tailored skirts and coats. They take up little room and are almost universally becoming. They are, however, as expensive as the more elaborate crepe and silk bodices and a great number of them are necessary. They are cut on the lines of those worn last summer, but heavy laces are used such as torchon, cluny and guipure. The severely plain linen blouse is considered the smartest thing for morning wear. It Is either tucked or laid in box plaits and accompanied by a severely plain stock. ?Silver appears In all the most fashionable dresses and millinery, and there Is no denying how Immeasurably superior It Is In effect and In good taste to the gold trimmings which were so lavishly used last year, and which always were Inclined to suggest vulgar ostentation. Besides, the hue of silver blends with a number of colors which cannot be combined successfully with gold. Blue and silver, violet and silver, rose and silver, black and silver are all delightful combinations, whereas the Introduction of gold In the place of the white metal would at once result in garlshness. ? The leg of mutton sleeve, or the gigot, as the French fashion books describe it, Is shown In many modifications and variations in the new blouses. Sometimes the part near the shoulders Is cut far fuller than the rest, and the plain portion begins at the elbow, or even a trifle above it. Far prettier, though, is the design where tiny pinched tucks are run eith* er side of the single seam all the way from wrist to shoulder, the tucks being but a couple of Inches long on either side, thus giving a mousquetaire efTect that Is charming in the extreme, and has the further merit of being easy to launder well. ? Paris Is preaching long skirts, but American women cling persistently to walking length, giving in only so far as to bring out a new length that just touches all around. The simpler of dresses, though, will cling to the present length?an Inch to an Inch and a half from the ground. The skirts of morning costumes will continue to be cut short, and they will fit closely about the hips, but they must flare a little below the line of the knee. 1 * 1 * ?? ? ? ? "* nr/\Mn tKn Wlin me lung uuain oic wum un> round skirts, either touching or Just freeing the ground. These skirts are more becoming than the very short ones unless a woman has a pretty foot, and they are the only ones that can be worn with the redingotes. ? A fascinating evening frock of primrose yellow silk mousseltne d> sole has a girdle of soft yellow satin, which crosses in the back and is drawn around to the front again and up to the bust, where it is finished by a large soft bow. The girdle is outlined with narrow yellow lace. Lace outlines the low-cut bodice, trims the short sleeve and is used upon the skirt. Three narrow lace frills run about the skirt and about the line of the knee above a full flounce of mousseline, and above them Is a deep lace flounce with a heading. This flounce Is not allowed to flare, but is drawn down and held by little square bows set on around the skirt so closely that they form a continuous line. ? The blouse at present Is more truly a shirt or slip. In its severity and plain cut it is no longer blouse. The true shirt, tucked or box plaited In front, with plaited cambric frill down the center, and plain sleeves, is again being worn with the tailor costumes, while the slip?the plain blouse which fastens behind?Is much fancied In fine black or ivory satin cloth, box plaited and held down with little gold or enamel buttons: or, agr&in, In thick white satin or broderle anglaise. But no frills or furbelows. Good cut, and the right cut, and rich material and embroidery make the right shirt blouse of the moment. The shirts are beautifully fitted, tight at the back and sides, with a becoming fullness across the figure In front, little pouched and mostly finished with a suede belt, held In place by slides. In all varieties of I color can these shirts be worn. Beautiful examples in pastel pink and blue are trimmed with velvet or kid buttons of a deeper shade, and a touch of black embroidery or fancy braiding is an effective feature. The Lenoth op a Dream.?"The other afternoon," said a doctor, "I called to see a patient, and much to my satisfaction, I found him sleeping soundly. I sat by his bed, felt his pulse without disturbing him, and waited for him to awaken. After a few minutes a dealer's cart, with discordant ringing bells, turned into the street, and as their first tones reached me my patient opened his eyes. "'Doctor,' he said, 'I'm glad to see you, and awfully glad that you woke me, for I have been tortured by a most distressing dream that must have lasted several hourH.
