Winning Testimony It Is no easy matter for an advo cate to get his own evidence proper ly before a court and Jury, and It Is therefore important for him to re member that cases are often won or lost by the straightforward state ments of the parties themselves, and the natural, homely way they some times have of putting things. The following case will illustrate this point: A builder was suing for extra work done on a dwelling. The defence was that everything had been paid for as originally contracted. An ex pert was called as defendant's wit ness, lie testified that the house was six Inches lower than called for by the specification; that the win dows were on weights instead ot op ening out on hinges like French win dows and that there were other ma terial defects in the workmanship. Item by item had to ba carefully scrutinized. There waa a chimney too short, a cornice defective, etc. Pepper Talks By George Matthew Adams Brick Upon Brick If you have ever watched the building of a structure you have no ticed one simple principle running through tbe entire Job from the first narking out of the ground to the laBt piece of material added at the top.

She knew nothing of books or architecture or plans, but "she was euro the plaintiff had made the house entirely contrary to her bargain, for he promised that the windows would reach clear to the floor.
