Surely No High-Priced Lawyer Could Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea of Husband Which Won Her Her Liberty. There was a negro family living In Bowling Green, Ky. The wife had a notoriously ungovernable temper, usually taking it out on her husband, who was meek and lowly. On this oc casion she .struck him with a skillet, inflicting a wound so painful and dan gerous ab to hecessitate his having to be taken to the hospital for treat ment. The neighbors, knowing the violent temper of the wife, and the cruel treatment she had inflicted upon her husband for such a long time, were so outraged they could endure it no longer, and procured a warrant for her arrest -on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The husband sat through the trial, giving rapt attention to its every de tail. The case was handed over to the jury and after very brief delibera tion it brought in a verdict of guilty. The old darkey husband rose and said: "Marse Jedge, I don't reckon noth ing a ole nigger could say would make much diffunce, but I would Ink to say a word before you send the 'old 'oman to the penitenshy. She's allays been a good mother to the chillun, all the neighbors will tell you that. She washes and scrubs and sews and mends for 'em, and keeps 'em clean and nice, an when they's sick she sits up with 'em at night. ' And, Marse Jedge, I jest want to ax you if you won't let her go by the house alid see the chillun befo' you s'hnd her to, the penitenshy. They's at home all alone right now, cryin' they po little hearts out and it would do 'em good, and the .ole 'oman, too, if she could just go and kiss 'em good-by befo' she was put in the penitenshy.^ By this time the judge and the spec tators were in tears and the judge said: "Gentlemen of the jury,. I haven't passed sentence yet and if you want a few minutes to further consider this case, I will be glad to grant It." The jury retired and in a few minutes returned with a verdict of "not guilty." Sailor Values Charm. The king and queen recently re ceived at Windsor castle the Austra lian, New Zealand and South African press delegates now on a visit to Great Britain. His majesty spoke warmly of the gallantry of the Dominions troops, pnd exchanged recollections of his empire tour of 1:01. When Mr. Pirani of New Zealand mentioned the name of Maggie Papakura, the Maori guide who conducted the king round the hot springs wonderland of Rotorua, the king recalled her at once, and was in terested to learn that she is now in Er. nd. The New Zealand delegates found that Princess Mary knew all about the pre-war Maori prophecy con cerning the battle-cruiser New Zea land-that she would go into action within a given number of years and would be hit but escape serious dam age if her captain wore a Maori tiki (greenstone charm). The first part of the prophecy came true, and so' up to date has the second. The captain does not forget to wear his tiki, Paased by Sentry.
