The right of counsel to sjied tears bo
fore the jury was recently decided by the
Bupruuie court ot Tennessee, in the case
of Ferguson vs. Moon, which was a case
for breach of proiniBO. The court,
Bpenking through Judge Wilkes, said :
"It is next assigned us error that
counsel for plaintiff in hie closing argu
ment, in the midst of a very eloquent
nnd impassioned uppeal to the jury,
Bhed tears and thus unduly excited the
passions and sympathies of the jury in
favor of the plaintiff, and greatly preju
diced them against defendant. Bearing
upon this assignment of error we have
been cited to no direct authority, and,
after diligent search, we have been able
to find none. The conduct of counsel in
presenting their cases to juries is a mat
ter whicii must be left largely to the
ethics of the profession and the discre
tion of the trial judge. No cast-iron
rule (should be laid down. To do so
would result that in many cases clients
would be deprived of the privilege of
being heard at all by counsel. Tears
Lave always been considered legitimate
nrgunients before the jurv, and we
know of no power or jurisdiction in the
trial judge to check them. It would ap
pear to be one of the natural rights of
counsel which no statute or constitution
could take away. It is certainly a mat
ter of the highest personal privilege.
Indeed, if counsel have tears at com
mand, it may be seriously questioned
whether it is not his professional duty to
Bhed them whenever proper occasion
arises, and the trial judge would not feel
constrained to interfere unless they are
indulged in to such an excess aB :o im
pede, embarrass, or delay the business
before the court."

A "Woman's Cleverness.
A good story is told of the cleverness
of a v.-oman in a transaction with an in
surance adjuster. The parlor curtains
took fire, and before the blaze was ex
tir.guitibed the carpet was badly
scorched. After looking over the dam
age the representative of the company
said she was entitled to the value of a
ik!w carpet S100. "We will allow you
that sum," continued the man, "and we
will take your old carpet." "Why,
what -;an you do with it?" "Oh, we'll
sell it s-.eeoiid-hand aud get back 310 or
$12 at least," wan the careless reply, in
tended to make the company's attitude
as geneious as possible. "In that case,"
promptly pur in the owner of the ear
pet, "sell it to me. I'll give you SI" for
it." The adjuster could only comply,
with the result that, this quick-witted
chatelaine got a new parlor carpet with
a handsome moquette floor covering as
well for an upper room that needed it
for $12.
Aljucnt-.IHntlcil.
The story is told of a famous) mathe
matician that, he was frequently j.'uilty
during his courtship of walking the
greater part of a mile with the young
lady of his choice without speaking.
One evening she took advantuge of his
absent-mindedncfs to play him a trick.
She slipped her hand from his arm and
hurried home a nearer way. He contin
ued to hold his arm in the panic position,
walked up the steps of her father's
hoti.se ar.d rung tin; lwll, when, o his
astonishment, hbe herself opened the
door. He stared in an incredulous man
ncr and exclaimed: "Why, S , how
in the world did you get on that side of
the door?"

"Some people may think that a con

his .salary." said a well-known southern
congressman, who wns tn'kir.T to u
Washington Star reporter on th - icis
situdes of running for ofiiec. and capc
cially for eougress'butamanlitis to be
a small walking bank to accommodate
the largo number of his 'friends' nnd
supporters who need n little money for
some urgent matter. In my state we
have to make campaigns and appear be
fore the people nt meetings, uell, 1
have never attended a meeting that I
did not have some kind of a subscrip
tion poked into my face. Somebody
wants -something for a church and for
missionary purposes or for helping
some fellow who has been burned out.
"You can't avoid subscribing, aud
have to bead the list witli the largest
sum. Then about the time you think
you are through having your leg pulled
some lazy fellow will walk up and say:
'How do, general? I had tcr quit my
work tcr come out and hear you terday,
and I thuuk yer niout give me a dollar.'
While you have the greatest contempt
for the man, you give him the dollar.
"When you leave the meeting you are
out anywhere from $20 to 30. These
are just a few instances of what a can
didate has to spend money for. After
he gets through the campaign and is
elected he has to furnish every dead
Lcat from his district who should hap
pen to come to Washington with
money. I've actually given them
money and railroad tickets to get home
and have them go back and work
against me." ,

SPOKE HIS MIND.
(iritml In:e Vl-.idinilr Criticised In Ills
Own Presence.
A refreshing story is told in the col
umns of the Frankfort Gazette: Th
cxar intrusted Count Pahlan, a liberal
minded man, with an inquiry into the
causes of the terrible disaster at Mos
cow on the occasion of the coronation,
and the count did not hesitate to tell
his majesty, in the presence of Grand
Duke Vladimir, that he. would have done
better not to put the superintendence of
the coronation festivals into the hands
of tiie grand duke. This frank declara
tion staggered the emperor, who asked
Count Pahlen to ndvanc hjs reasons.
The count answered: "The grand
dukes are in their right place in the
army and navy, but if thoy have to do
with purveyors and purveyance they
must be cheated." The Grand Duke
Vladimir protested against this, but
smilingly Count Pahlen reminded him
of his own bad e:;iterieiiee in connec
tion with t!i' buiidimr of th" mrrcorial
church to Alrsander Tt. In consequence
of tliis frank attitude of Count Pahlen.
the minister of justice was ordered to
cont!nue the inquiry. He succeeded in
clearing up the dark aiTair, but when
the invostirration begun to tak a very
disagreeable turn it was determined to
submit it not to the ordinary court of
justice, but to the ministerial council
in other words, to burke it. '
A few montho ago, Mr. Byron Every,
of WoodstocV, Mich., was badly afflicted
with rheumatism. His right leg was
swollen the full length, causing
),:,
great suffering. He was advised to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Tiie first
bottle of it helped him considerably and
the second bottle effected a cure. The
25 nnd 50 cent sizes are for sale by
Blakeley & Houghton.
Do not fail to call on Dr. Lannerberg,

with headache or nervousness you un
doubtedly have imperfect vision that, if
