I The Lady Was Excused From Showing
Her Bruise.
Atlanta, Oct. 2.?Wheu the attorney
for the plaintiff offered to 'have his
client, Mrs. Myrtle Langston, would-be
divorcee, display her silk-clad knee
on the witness stand in Judge George
L. Bell's court in order to disclose
evidence that her husband, Dr. Lovik
- P. Langston. had beaten her, Judge
L Bell demurred.
Attorney Claude Smith, counsel for
the husband, had denied, in behalf of
iis client, that Dr. Langston had mistreated
his wife. W. S. Coburn, attorney
for Mrs. Langston, protested that
she had been cruelly mistreated. Mrs.
Langston was on the stand.
* "Would you object to showing the
1 court the bruise oil your knee?" asked
the attorney for the witness.
She colored profusely.
I Judge Bell announced that it would
"'be totally unnecessary to cause the
witness such embarrassment.'*"
The court took her word for it.
Mrs. Langston was awarded $30 temporary
monthly alimony.

O.igres For Stenographers.
Richmond Journal.
Boston business men seem to have
a bad reputation in the matter of
stenographers, if we judge by a discussion
now in progress in some of
the newspapers. One woman wrote to
a Boston contemporary of conditions
j which she described as so bad that she
. | proposed seriously that all women and
j girl stenographers be enclosed in iron
I cages during their hours of duty to
protect them from the attentions of
their employers. Thereupon another
woman, evidently a very irate feminist,
wrote suggesting that the men at the
dictation end of the combination should
be locked in the cages.
All of which recalls an East Indian
folk lore story which runs about like
this:
Once a man was walking on a road
balancing on his head a very heavy
I irnn nnt With 'nic ricrh.t hanr?" ho "hplH
a stick and led a goat and in his left
hand he carried a pair of live hens. A
woman was passing rapidly and the
man called to her and besought her
to walk slowly and go with him for
company. The woman answered that
she feared that if she walked with ;
him he might overpower her and kiss j
her against her will.
"How can I overcome and kiss i
you?" inqaire'd the man, "seeing that j
I have on my head an iron pot, with!
! my right hand am holding a stick and
i leading a goat and with my left hand
am carrying these two live hens?"
"You could drive the stick into the
ground and tie the goat to it, turn
! tne pot upsiae aown ana put uie nens i
| under it and thus be free to overcome ;
! me and iss m-e against my will," the j
! woman replied.
"Success to thy ingenuity, O wo-1
man," said the rejoicing man to himself.
So he drove the stick in the ground,
I
tied the goat to it, turned the pot up- >
side down, put the hens under it and
most wickedly kissed her against her
will, just as she was afraid he might
do.
Of course, she was not a stenographer,
for there were none in those
days. But, however it may be in Bos
ton, in this part of the country the
female stenographer usually provides
her own protective cage with her own
dignity and common sense; and no
other is needed.

THEY A HE ALL FAKES
Some Truth Is Told About Palmists
and Palmistry.
! 1 he life of .1 fortune teller is not
i
j always an easy one, out wnai i learxit-a
; during nr. professional career in this"
! line taught me one thing?and thai
! was that my troubles were as atoms
to the huge burden of trouble that
many of my "patients * uad to bear,
writes Herbert Illingworth in the October
Strand Magazine.
Wcmen, as a rule, are easy to read?
i first, because they are so easily classi'
Med in respect to age and appearance,
and secondly owing to their inability
to keep silent. When you are "fishing"
lor the event in their lives on
which they seek information, if you
so much as hint on a line of thought
; - - - - -v ,
that teils ot tne eveni. mey are uuumi
to burst icrth with a hurried, "Yes,
yes! Go on!"
The reader would, no doubt, like to
i
have the answers to two questions
which are most important predictions,
and they are:
"How can you tell whether a person
is married or not?"
"How can you tell how many children
they have?"
I will answer the question in turn,
and in the beginning I must state that
"patients" unknowingly tell the palmist
the answers to the questions above
?not directly, but through a system
all our own we get the answers. This
system is almost perfect, and built up
from . .ading and meeting thousands
of persons yearly.
Take, for example, the first question.
How can you tell whether a person is
married? To begin with, it depends
upon your "patient's" age, which you
can guess from observation and from
the skin of the back of the hand. The
condition of the nail filament will help
also, if you are deceived by a well-preserved
man or woman.
Here is an illustration. Your "patient"
is a woman about 35 years old,
very well dressed, nails well manicured,
and altogether a fascinating
"patient." She is wearing no rings.
, This, in itself, arouses suspicion, for
j you know there is not one woman out
; of a hundred who does not wear a ring
| of seme kind. This makes you think
j jthat she may have removed her wedding
ring before she entered the room!
7 he ring, however, will probably leave
I a mark, which you can easily find on
i her third finger. If the finger is thin
and gives nothing for guidance, I say
to her "There is sickness marked on
i '
j this line for the oldest child in the
j family." Her manner will soon indii
cate whether she is married or not.
There are a few "patients" who are
' r\-r Vxjtto hopn marripri nnri havp n.T
I children. These are in the minority,
: and they will either tell you they have
j no children, or will ask you if you
mean the "oldest child in their mothj
er's family." The result is the same.
"If the "patient" has a child, how
j quickly she will tell you its age, taking
j all the pride of a good mother in an
: swering promptly!
The fortune-teller now has a store
!of information to work on, for the
answer to this question is the very
keystone of the arch. With it I build
up to parents' life-story from tire age
of their oldest child. For example,
the age of the oldest child is given as
i
114; from this age you can safely pre.
j diet there is more than one child in
this family. This you can verify by
remarking upon the brightness of their
youngest child, who, as the mother
gladly tells, is 10 years old.
Now, how many children have they?
Why, three, of course!
You find out which month the "pa
tient" was born in- by saying, in a decided
tone of voice:
"You were born in February."
The "patient," if not born in this
month, will reply:
"No, I was born in May."
"I beg your pardon; you resemble
a February type."
The "patient" has again given much,
more material to work with, as a study
of the "signs of the zodiac" tells me
here that a person born in May ie inclined
to certain tendencies in character,
illness and career.
You can tell a man's business, trade
or profession by seeing the man first |
and his hand afterwards. You can always
tell a postman from one shoulder
being much lower than the other,
through carrying his heavy mail bag.
The doctor and lawyer are "easy
marks" for the fortune teller, for they
"carry" their profession all over them
in many signs; the barber is easy also,
for who has a cleaner and softer hand
than 'he? The tailor is "tabbed" from
the marks on his hands, the result of
long use of scissors.
It Worked.
The conductor was about to give the
motorman the high sign.
"Wait!" cried a shriffff feminine I
i
voice; "wait till I get my clothes on!"
Everyone in the car was suddenly afflicted
with the rubber habit.
What they saw was an obese woman
trying to lift a basket of laundry to
the rear platform.
Then the car rolled on.

way. A no-bill was returned in the
i case of John Bush.
.Judge Smith, handing the grand jury
the score or more indictments charg(ing
violations of the dispensary law.
charged the jury forcefully, eloquently
and at length relative to the law
covering these indictments and in re\
gard to their duty in considering them,
j "Take these bills," he said in clos
! ing. "Give them your careful consid\
i eration. Tf it leads to the finding of
no-bills, let it be from a sense of duty
I well performed. If it leads to the
; finding of true bills, have the courage
| and the manhood to say so."
Law on the Subject,
i He read extracts from sections of
| the criminal code relative to the indictments
and repeated what the sui
preme court has declared to be the
law in such cases. "These enactments
have received the sanction of the sovereign
people of South Carolina," he
said. "And they are operative on every
inch of territory and in respect to
every person.
"If the testimony satisfies you that
a probable case has been made out. it
, is your sworn and solemn duty to find
; a true bill. The testimony of one who
| has inspected a revenue license is suf
I ficient for your purpose."
j It is pitiable that the inactivity of
the grand jury, at times when courage
j and manhood would find exceptional
j opportunities for a great and lasting
j service, has been such as to suggest to
i some the abolishment of that body, de|
clared Judge Smith. But it must be
| remembered, he continued, that the
j law respecting grand juror has a farI
reaching influence which is shown by
, his right to enter every public office
, from that of the clerk of court to the
l
j most insignificant; the right to review
I the administration of public affairs,
| the right to criticise; the right to apj
prove or to condemn and the right to
exercise an irresistible influence for
the good of the State and the people.
The grand jury is the monitor and sentinel
to demand a wise administration
of public affairs. And even great-^
er is- the power of the grand jury in
its right to act cn bills of indictment.
By this phase of its power, it becomes
the guardian of liberty, of homes of the
ctrnn rr n'rtOL- <1.1 rim
oLi uiij, airu ?? cua ctuxv^.
"If there are 110 indictments, there
can be no trial," said Judge Smith.
'If there are no trials, there can be
no punishment, and if there is no pun-^
ishment there will be no fear of it.
With the fear of punishment removed,
there is no restraining influence upon
and no protection from the lawless
element.
"This power should be a guarantee
of faithful service. What guarantee
has the State that the grand juror will
discharge sis duty faithfully? His
compensation is totally inadequate and
and appeal is therefore made to his
patriotism. Confidence is bestowed in
his integrity and honor."
The judge then cited the require- .
ments of one selected to serve on the ;
grand jury, emphasizing the good ;
moral character of the man and his (
oath. He repeated the oath in part, i
referring to the duty of diligently in- :
quiring, making a true presentment ]
and other phases of the oath. !
The grand juror who acts on a bill !
through fear or favor is a pitiable !
weakling, declared Judge Smith. He 1
who acts through hope of reward is 1
immeasurably corrupt, and he wrho 1
acts through malice is a villainous
coward, he continued. He who acts
"through sympathy for crime or because
of opposition to law, adopts a
?. i. J ~? J1 . i- ^
policy wnica is more ueaui* lu mc m- |
terests of society than the acts of thej
y
' meanest criminal."

GEX. PEEPLES IS HONORED
Chosen iVce President by Association
of Attorneys General.
The State.
Thomas H. Peeples, attorney general
of South -Carolina, was elected
.ice president of the Association of
Attorneys General of the United States
at its meeting in San Francisco, the
last of which was held Wednesday, September
22. Mr. Peeples returned to
Columbia (Wednesday night, having
left for the West September 9. He was
the only Southern man elected to
office.
Mr. Peeples, the youngest attorney
general attending the well attended
convention, said yesterday that a number
of interesting problems were discussed,
most interesting of which was
the paper by Attorney General Webb
of California on "The Alien Law." The
subject is of vital importance to the
people of the West especially, due to
legislation which has been passed re
garding the admission and rights of
Japanese and Mongolians to become
land owners in California. All of the
papers, he said, were interesting, instructive
and beneficial.
Mr. Peeples received assurances
from many people in the West, Democrats
and Republicans, of their, approval
of President Wilson's foreign
policy.

PROVISIONS ARE SCARCE
IN NORWAY AND SWEDEN
Near Panic Spreads, Th Mitrh Hotli
Countries Have -More Money Now
Than at Beerinniiigr of W ar.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press from Christiana, .\orway, aatea
September 3. says something very close
to a panic is spreading over both Norway
and Sweden, as a result of the
alarming scarcity ol' provisions and the
unprecedented prices which are demanded
for tne simplest kind of food.
Norway is now on the point of following
Sweden's lead in prohibiting the
ovnfirt nf all nrfineiAnc nf whi/^Vl tliATVX
mere marked. Herring, which is one
prices may be brought down within
rc-ach of tlie poorer classes.
The advance in prices in Norway
is approximately the same as ,in
Sweden, but in some cases it has been
moore marked. Herring, which is one
of the main articles of diet among the
peasant population, have risen from 2
cents to 4 1-2 and 5 cents apiece, and
the present price of oatmeal is 250 per
- - ? 1 T? * ~ /< l\/N P/N +V A TTT
ceni uigiier uxaii u ?as uciuic **ai.
The meat shortage was temporarily
relieved some time ago, as it was in
Sweden, by the slaughter of a. large
number of cattle, which there was not
enough grain to feed, but prices have
now advanced again, reaching the
highest level ever known in Norway.
It is a curious paradox, however, that
as a nation, Norway's economic and
financial condition is better than before
the war. Norway's tremendous
exports, at the same time that they
have drained the country of its necessary
provisions for home consumption
and carried masses of the people to
the verge of starvation, have brought
a tremendous amount of money into
the country, enabled the country to
pay for all its imports, and left a large
surplus to be used for industrial purposes
and public loans.
The Bank of Norway?the governments'
bank?had a year ago twentymillion
dollars of gold in its vaults.
Today it has forty million. A year ago
it had issued paper money to the extent
of five and a half million beyond
its deposits, while today with the same
amount of paper currency in circulation,
it has a reserve of three million
dollars.
Deposits in private banks are at
present thirty million dollars greater
than a year ago on the same date.
These banks had to their credit in
foreign banks $700,000 last year. This
year they have $10,000,000. The war
has thus brought Norway a flood tide
of prosperity, and if government action
is taken to reduce present prices and
provide the poorer people with food,
Norway will have little to losfc and a.
great deal to gain from a long war.
!
Norway's friendship for England and
the fact that she 'has had less to complain
of in the restriction of imports
than Sweden, have made her trade
question a much less serious one than
in her sister country. Her chief grievance
against England remains the English
censorship of her mail and cablegrams
to America and other neutral
countries, Norway is still trying to
devise a more direct and speedier communication
with America.
APPLES FOR FIGHTING MEN
Growers and Dealers Want to (xi?0
100,000 Barrels to Warring
Nations.
. .
New York Sun.
Each soldier in the trenches and hospitals
of Europe is to get an apple,
and, according to the proposal of a
committee of the apple trade, a vessel
will carry a big cargo of the greatest
American fruit across the seas for distribution
under the auspices of the
Red Cross.
Apple growers and deaiers wno have
earned that many of the fighting men.
ire suffering because of the lack of
Tuit juices, will make- efforts to get
President Wilson and Secretary of
state Lansing to induce the warring
lations to grant safe passage to tire
ipple consignment. ;Tfhe apple men
ilso hape to get the belligerent nations
:o agree on an armistice for one day
luring which the apples shall be distributed;
no truce has been arranged
;o far, however.
This is the way a local dealer in
ippies made toe recKomng.
"We understand that there are about
15,000,000 men actively engaged! in the
various armies and navies in the war,
md probably as many more indirectly
nvolved. To give them all an Ameri an
apple would mean at least 50,000, 00
apples, and counting 500 apples to
he barrel, we shall have to provide
00,000 barrels. At present the minmnn-i

ir barrel. I estimate that the whole
mdertaking would not cost less than
;500,000."
It is intended that the apple laden
hip shall sail on October 19, National
\.pple day. so that the consignment
night reach the various fighting zones
tnd hospitals early in November, when
Europe's scant fruit supply will have
>etn exhausted.
