DID NOT KNOW A WIG.
Astute Lawyer Who Disposed of I
gmronm Witness by a Trick.
There resides in Washington a lawyer
who a few days ago retired from the pro
fession in which his name was a power.
In his early days says the Washington
News, the lawyer lost his hair, the result
of a long spell of sickness, and from those
days to the present time his head has been
adorned with wigs, veritable works of art,
from the hands of a celebrated maker in
New York. As time rolled on he changed
the glossy black shook of artificial hair to
an iron gray, which is the color he affects
now. The wigs look so natural that only
his intimate friends recognize them as
such. One day ha was defending a man
accused of trying to steal a pair of trousers
from a hook in front of a secondhand store
while the proprietor was inside.. The shop
keeper was placed on the stand and iden
tified the prisoner as the man who at
tempted to snatoh the goods, mentioning
at the time that the thief wore a wig.
"Do you know a wig when you see one
on somebody's head?", asked the attorney.
' The witness smiled and replied in the
affirmative. .
"Does his honor wear a wig?"
"No." .
- "Do any of the Jury wear themf"
' , "No." - n . .
y'".Do I wear oner" -
The shopkeeper langbed outright at the
idea of a man with such a magnificent suit
of iron gray hair wearing a wig, and he
replied emphatically that he did not.
"I knew you didn't know a wig when
you saw one," retorted the lawyer coolly,
at the same time yanking off the gray
looks and exposing a pate smooth as a
baby's faoe. -.'.

defendant acquitted.
. Importanoe of a Good Breakfiaat. ,
: ; It is do uncommon thing to find among
onr aoqobiutanoes that many persons,
when asked as to the Alnd of breakfast
they eat, reply that they either, eat none at
all or only perhaps drink a enp of coffee or
tea, says The Family Doctor. It ia true
that the ordinary English breakfast is cal
culated to strike terror in the minds of the
ayerage Bnropoan, and French people
would be appalled at the idea of eating
breakfast or a couple of chops the first
thing in the morning, and yet it ia a great
mistake to commence the day without a
good meal as a foundation.
It may have been noticed by those who
have no appetite for breakfast that even If
hungry .on retiring it is an exception to
have a feeling of hunger on awakening in
the morning. It is probable that during
sleep, the functions of digestion being in
abeyance, the stomach contracts, and this
is probably why some persons cannot, eat
late at night. The empty stomach, having
no function to perform, contracts 'itself,
-and in the morning it requires some little
stimulation for it to begin its dally work.':
This is why so many, especially invalids, .
oannot take a heavy breakfast. J
' For those who can do so it is a good
plan to drink a little cold water on rising.!
it waanes out the stomach, takes away
any mucus that might have collected there
In the night and stimulates the digestive
glands to give forth their secretions and
prepare for that Important aot, digestion.'

herself on the domestic altar without com

and came to look upon her husband as a
petty tyrant. , V ri'fr., her
marriage had played and sung at church
soolables and amateur theatricals with the
hearty appreciation or. ner
mother. " . , .'-.-
Fred, not to be outdone in wisuuui, w
san the making over prooess and hoped in
time to model Lila- intoasortqf oomposite
wife, when he should have grafted on her
budding nature all the virtues which are
popularly supposed to belong to perfected
womanKinu. - .
So after duly considering ine master sou
t.ino no - one into her confidence. Llla
made a decision. One morning when Ered
was going to business she asked him to
wait a moment, and, standing- on the top
stairs of the veranda, she pinned anofof
purple and yellow pansies into his button
hole. Then because his face was so near
she kissed him. i :
"Goodbv. sweetheart!" she said, with a
little nervous laugh, and he wondered if
the neighbors saw them, and IT they wouia
think him spoony. ' J - -
Lila's nansiea worried Fred all day. Jie
put them in water to keep them fresh, as
he wanted to wear them home, a conces
sion that foretold, muoh good if Llla had,
only known. " -; ' ' ; : ( .
"Pshaw. I m as sentimental as a wom
an!" he said to himself. "I daresay it Is
dull sometimes for Llla without me. I'll
plan a trip somewhere, in business Inter
ests, and take her along." j
Fred Roberts went home that evening
with a fresh flower about to bloom in his
souL and Lila's pansies worn at his breast..
He was disappointed to find the door looked
and the key under the mat an occasional
thing when Lila visited her parents.
Be at once felt aggrieved. That was al
ways the way when he had tried to do a
noble deed there, was no one to help him.
Nor was there any supper for a tired and
hungry man. That had never happened
before. ' i j '- " 'i
Then be saw a note In front of the little
Frenoh clock which had been one of their
wedding presents. He tore It open and
read:"- - :- )' I :
DiabFhid Our marriage waa a mistake.
Better separation than hatred. Do not try to
find me, as it will be lm possi Die. na do one
knows where I have gone. Believe me, I ahaH
do nothing to bring a shadow on your name or
the one I shall hereafter bear. . ' TiTT.a.
Fred went into a fury. The cat fled ap
palled from the room and the canary ceased
to whistle and sing and .became ounro.
When the tempest had abated, he went out
and began a search for his wife.
The search lasted 'a year, lie plaoed his
business in trusty bands and pretended to
be traveling In its Interests. His hair
turned Iron gray and became him well.
Purpose lines developed In his faoe, and
the veneering wore from his obaraoter,
showing the real substance) beneath.
A friend who knew him at this period
of his career said to him:
"The world is full of women, why
compel an unwilling, woman to be your
wife? Aooept your liberty and begin life
over again." ' .
4 You have never loved, " answered Fred.
" want my wife bedause I love her."
"It would be more to the purpose if she
loved you," retorted his friend, with that
brutal candor which friendship, permits.
"She does." said Fred, and the two
words oontained his whole litany of faith.
The poor fellow grew as thin as a shad
ow. He bad long sinoe parted witn won
pride and anger. At first he was a walk
ing arsenal, for be determined that if Llla
bad eloped the man in the ease should die.
But Lila's flitting soon became a mere
personal ' adventure in his estimation,
mnob like the running away of a child
from its home, and he was only anxious for
a chance to forgive and be forgiven.
in this mood he reaonea a notei in a
' small town, where he studied the register
and asked some q'nestions about the guests
his invariable habit.
This time there was a mysterious sick
woman, who had bar meals sent to her
room. He questioned the olerk and learned
that she was yonng and attractive and a
lady, "but cried a great deal. . v.
He wandered disconsolately about, the
balls, and at last ran against a waiter car
rying a tray. , - - ! - -
"Where are yon going?" he demanded.
in a peremptory tone. : -
" Taking a sick lady's dinner to her,"
Bald the man. -
"Bere," commanded Fred, slipping a
coin into the man's hand, "give it to me.
Now show me the way." And, following
the waiter, he was shown Into a darkened
room. - - . .
A slight form lay dressed on a sofa. A
pale faoe, scarcely distHtguisliable in the

WCK'S SWEETIIEART.
: : He was a queer, lonely obap waa Dlok,,
though he was neither old nor ugly. Many
fellow-at twin Aa ymuld have been glad
enough to chum with Dick, but somehow
"nobody ever proposed It. .
He . went by the name of Lone Hand
Dick, bJaaasa he worked by himself and
said nothing.. , ."
Dick was one of the fissl, if, he wasn t
the very first, on tbo flat.; When I got
there he was fossicking about in aoorner
all by himself, and there were not half a
dozen moro within' five miles. .
It was Dick that showed me Where to
get water,' and laid me on to the run of the
Btun when I asked him, but outside- Of
that he wouldn't go. :
The flat wasn't to say rich, not at first
"anyhow, till Jim Stokes dropped on to the
deep lead, but there was always tucker and
more in Solar as I could guess, Diok
had about bis share and no more. . -
: Stokes struck the deep lead on Friday,
and by the middle of next week Lulu fiat
was a goldfleld. : Where they sprung from
I'm blest if I know, but come- they did,
wagons fall of them, traps, coaches, bul
lock drays, horses and donkeys, and one or
two, though they didn't hardly count, be
ing off color, on camels,
in a month we had two banks, and were
talking about a town hall and a member
of parliament. - '
y It didn't suit Dick.' Ijong before the
end of the first week he had struck his
tent an uncommon one horse tent it was,
too, at thatrand made tracks. '
.He hadn't gone very far, thongh, and
' after a bit I came across a man that had
seen him working by himself in a little
corner of & gully just about big enough for
: one over the nearest range; -
' It wasn't more than a week or two after
that, "one day, just as I had knocked off
1 work, a young chap comes up to me, and,
"say 8 he: "Mate, do you happen to know a
chap by the name of Forrester? They soy
he was on tbo flats from the first."
"Can't say as 1 do, mate," says I.
"What's he like?" - "
"Like? Well, he ought to be like that."
And he pulls out a photograph and passes
it along to me.
I looks at it. ."Dlok," says I.
"You know him, mate?" he says, look
ing at mo sharplike.
" Well, mate, and suppose I did? What
o' that?" . For it comes into my mind about
the troublo as wo thought Dick might
have been in. "What of that, stranger?"
says I. '
"Come along up to the bank.- We want
to find him." - '
. ; "Oh, ye! dol" says L "Got a fortune
for him, mate?" . . ,
"Oh, you needn't be suspicious! It's a
' gentleman and lady,", says he..
! I went along with him, though, after
all, I wasn't sure.
It was after bank hours, and the door
was shut, but ho took mo round by the
Side into the manager's room.'
There was a man there and a girl yes,
she was only ti girl, I oould see that, al
. though she had a thick veil over her face.
The man was a swell. ' :
"Do yon know Mr. Forrester, my man?'
says he. .. . - .'
, "Not much," says I, short. 71
He turns round on the olerk angrily.
"He doesn't know him by that name,,
but he seemed to know the photograph yon
gave me, sir," the clerk said. ' !
" Well, " I said, "I have seen somebody
It might have been meant for once," ... .
"We want to see him."
man looked at me angrily, "what
.for, toy man and how does this concern
tour' ' - ' - : -
"Well;" says L "I don't rightly know.
nor I don't know how it concerns yon to
see him." . : ;- L 'y.
With that the girl rose and took a step
forward. "Oh, sir,"' she said in a soft,
low voice that shivered a bit as she spoke.
"Oh, sir, you will tell us, I'm sure! I
must know. I must see him." r
' It was for no harm, anyway, I could
have sworn that muoh. "Yes, miss," says
L "It might be the party, or again it
mightn't, for he's changed if it is, but I'll
find him for you in the morning." . .
' It was a lonely, spot where we found
Dick, and not another soul was in sight.
He was working in the bottom, the same
steady, dogged, hopeless work that he'd
always done. i
"There," I said, stopping short and
-pointing at him. "Is that the man you're
looking for, miss?" . -
She had said nothing as we came along,
but she had trembled so much that the
man had given her his arm ; to help her.
Now she seemed to pull herself together all
in a moment aa she threw baok the veil to
.look.'
"Stay here," she said, motioning the
man back with her hand. "Stay here.
Oh,'George!" y'y . y .
In a minute she was close j to Dlok.
"George IV she said only the one word,
"George!". i -
Dick lifted himself from his work and
stared stupidly round, as if he didn't
slightly know what itrwas. Then he sees
her, and with that he falls .back a step,
like a man dazed. . ;
. It might have been a couple of months
later that I got a Melbourne paper through
the post. There was a mark at one side,
and opposite to that an advertisement.
"At St. Mark's church, Toorak, on Deo.
1, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop of Melbourne,
Mary, only daughter of Hon. John Lester
of Toorak and Dungalla Station to George
Wingfield Forrester, eldest son Of Albert
Forrester, M. P., of Wingfield HalL Here
fordshire, England." y! a
By and by I came across another para
graph. "The fashionable, wedding that
took place yesterday at Toorak had all the
special interest which, attaches, to the last
act in a very sensational drama. The cir
cumstances of the celebrated Dungalla
murder -trial, although now two years old,
are still fresh in the memory of the pU blio.
"The confession of the real criminal,
while It happily restores Mr. Forrester to
his friends and to society, affords a remark
able instance of the unreliability of even
the strongest circumstantial evidence.
"The refusal of 'the jury to agree upon
what seemed unquestionable evidence of
guilt appeared to uS at, Che time, we con
fess, a lamentable failure of justloe, and
we said so. It affords us greater pleasure
now that we are able to offer both to Mr.
Forrester and the public our hearty con
gratulations." New York Press. -

Voluntary obedience, not compulsion, is

many to lead the child the way it should
go, for it ia very necessary thit the parents
follow the same path. We can't preaoh
any more than we live, and tha sermons
from which the child draws his ideas take
