Drwll0 Climax to KirllUc Will
CdI Case. j
The eoDvenuiUon turned on the mo
mentous effects of trifles at time
when they were least expected to nave
any Influence at all, and this reminded
Mr. TbomjiMon of an episode In his
own practice aa s lawyer. .
"It was tbe moat exciting legal bat
tie of my life," he said, and every one
present begged him to tell It
"A flgbt waa going on for the pos
session of a large fortune." continued
be, while the others settled theroMlree
for tbe story. "A wayward son waa
contesting the will of bla father, and
tbe case abounded In dramatic fea
tures. Charge and counter charge were
frequent The young man waa explo
sive, bot tempered and without char
arter. IIow much hla family bad suf
fered through him no one ever knew.
Tbe young rascal bad hoped to get hla
fatbeVa vast fortune, and now be saw
the case going against him and the
money slipping through 1 his finger.
Tbe last link In the chain of evidence
was all that waa needed, and that
would be supplied by the testimony of
bla slater, lier name waa called, and
aa ahe stood up-he was a beautiful
creature there arose a buzs of admira
tion snob aa sometimes comes from an
audience. She flustered at that and
b diluted, then started for the witness
stand. I got up as she was punning
me, Intending to reassure her, and ac
cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
bad a alight train In those days. My
awkwardness saved her life."
' He paused for a moment to note tbe
effect of bla words. "Tbe admiration
of those In tbe courtroom was the final
touch to that worthless brother. lie
sprang up and, drawing a revolver
from hla pocket exclaimed, 'Well, If I
don't get the money you never will,'
and fired at her aa she came toward
him. My checking ber by treading on
her gown made ber step backward, tz.1
the bullet missed her by an inch."

THE QUEST OF BEAUTY.
What Ob Wamaa Smffrrrd For tha
lea ( Her Appearue.
You muftt suffer to be beautiful, ac
wrdlng to a French saying. 1 There
twins to be some truth In tbe state
ment if a lady's maid Is to be believed,
8he hns revealed the pecrets of her
mistress' boudoir, or, rather, ? torture
chamlwr. The lady herself is now
beautiful, but one wonder, that ahe Is
till alive. For months, ahe lay flat on
ber back on the floor, motionless, with
ber arms close to her sides, during sev
eral hours every day. This was, it ap
pears, to Improve her figure. During
the rest of tbe day, for the same period
f time, she sat on a high stool, giving
and rocking the upper part of her body
backward and forward and from aide
to aide unceasingly. By this process
she is said to have acquired a statu
esque throat and a sylpb'a waist ,The
lady's nose, having a soaring nature,
was corrected and made Grecian by
tbe -constant application day and night
for months of a spring bandage. One
nostril waa originally larger than tbe
other, so ahe wore a small sponge In It
for a year. Her cheeks have been
filled out and rounded by Injections of
paraffin. Her ears for montha were
compressed against tbe sides of ber
head by springs, while heavy weights
were attached to the lobes to produce
the required elongated shape, which
has been successfully achieved. Hav
ing suffered this complicated martyr
dom for a year, the lady, aa already
atated, la now beautiful. Farla Letter.

Each of uu Is born Into a world full
of duties and responsibilities which we

hour. W. T. Stead.
Tbe word "society" once meant tbe

Marriage is the finishing school of

we learn Its lessons, punishes us with
misery if we fall to profit Sarah
Grand.
In spite of ail tbe romances, men and
women are amazingly indiscriminate In
tbelr attachment They select their
wives and husbands far less carefully
than they select their cashiers and
cooks. G. Bernard Shaw.
Rat a Society L4er,
An Erie man who has no ambition
to be a Chesterfield or a leader of
Erie's Four Hundred was Invited out
to dinner a few evenings ago. He con
jured up every excuse imaginable, and
aa a last resort tried to make bla wife
believe ahe was sick and unable to go,
but ahe gave htm to understand that
she was going and he must accompany
her. "Well," he said, "I'm alck my
aelf, but I reckon I'll have to go." And
they went Wbeu tbe first course waa
brought on the old gentleman filled up
pretty well, but seemed to be getting
along all right In the middle of the
second course he declared be was full
"clean up" and pushed back from tbe
table. "Ahem, you folks jlst go ahead
an' eat your supper an' don't mind
me. I've got to go home an' feed the
pigs." Erie (Kaa) Record.
A Cftlaaea taperatlttaa.
Tbe Chinese have a remarkable su
perstition about the Chu river, which
Is the local name on the border for the
Cbtatlng. A considerable trade In
drags la borne along this river, for
which a special class of boats, com
posed of very light boards fastened
with wooden nails, Is built Tbe na
tives soy that the magnetic attraction
of the bed of the river is so strong
that were ordinary boats used the iron
nails would be pulled out. Along tbe
river banks Iron is mined In primitive
fashion, and from teological evidence
It is believed that the ore Is very rich.

the students who had heard the lec
ture: , " 'Luther gives ' a vaudeville show,
accompanied by fireworks."
