CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
An Instance in Which It gent the Wrong
Man 20 the Gallows.
"Speaking of circumstantial evidence,"
Paid an old attorney, "I am free to con-
fess that I consider it hardly the thing
to hang a man on, though it has been
done in many oases. I oan recall an in-
stance when I was a youngster of 12 or
14, in which my father, who was a lead-
ing criminal lawyer, defended a man
who was hanged on merely circumstant-
ial evidence. The facts were as follows:
Living just in the edge of our town was
a man of wealth, who had a grand old
horse, occupied only by himself and
servants. There were varinus stories
about how rich he was and what large
sums of money he always kept near him,
but he was never disturbed until one
night, shortly after midnight., there
was a terriffic disturbance to the old
house, accompanied by pistol shots, and
when the people who Dame to see what
the matter was got In they found the
owner dead with a bullet through his
eye, and the butler, with his hands full
of jewelry and watches, lying in the
doorway of the old gentleman's room,
with a bullet somewhere in his head, but
he wasn't dead.
"His revolver lay by his side and as
far es could be Been the whole story was
told right there. The butler, who had
been 1n the house only about six month's,
had attempted to rob his maeter, had
been caught in the act and shot, but had
killed the old man in the fight. That
was the only tranelation of It, and there
was no other for several days, because
the butler had a very eorinus wound and
was delirious for a week. However, It
was not fatal, and os soon ae he was
himself he made a statement to the
effect that he had been awakened in the
night by footsteps and had taken his
pistol, which had only two loads in it,
out of five, and gone down Into the hall
below to see what the noise was.
"Ile noticed that his master's door
was partly open et the far end of the hall,
and hurried toward tt. As he approached
it he heard his master epeak to some one
asking who was there, and with that
there was a pistol shot, and ho jumped
into the room, grabbing a burglar as he
did so, and at the same time getting
o shot in the head from his master's
pistol. Beyond that he remembered
nothing more. His story was generally
disbelieved, for there was no evidence of
any other person in the house with evil
deslgnei and all the plunder that he had
not oaugbt in hie hands was lying on
the floor about him, so that there was
no apparent reason wily a burglar ehnuki
be there. All the doors were blond

the alarm, and there was absolutely no

side.
"Another strong point was that the

butler, and that the butler had got the
bullet intended for him, as he had run
into the room just ae the old man fired.
Dropping everything in his sudden sur-
prise, he rushed downstairs and hid in
the hallway, from where he had slipped
out as soon as the front door was opened.
In the excitement he was not observed,
and he got away without any trouble at
all, as the nearness to the city made
strangers so common that their presence
excited no suspicion. I'll never forget
that incident, and I'll never be In favor
of the death penalty on circumstantial
evidence. Even lynch law is less

attorney was more than half right. -

PASSING OF THE BIRTHDAY.
Why It Is Lost From the Lives of Un-
married Women.
Constance Conrad, writing on "For-
gotten Anniversaries" in the September
Ladies' Homo Companion, says:-
" First of all there are the birthdays of
unmarried women. I know they do not
have any. I have heard them say so
many times, sometimes with a one ry
laugh, but often with a half regretful
intonation. Tho generally accepted belief
is that when an unmarried woman has
passed the years of youthful freshnese,
She prefers to have her added years ig-
nored. There may he soma reason for this
belief in individual cases, but a little
thought may lead us to a different view
for the majority. When did these women
cease to have birthdays? The year they
sensed was, In most cases, just one year
later than the one which had been cele-
brated to some happy fashion. If we
could know some of the unwritten his-
tories, we would find one woman's stop-
ped the year after her young lover died -
that changed everything in life for her;
another's when she started out alone to
'ern her living among 'strangers, with no
one about her to mark lovingly or re-
member kindly the day of the year that
a baby -girl was sent, years before, to
gladden the old farm house.
"Still another date dropped from Its
honored place when the last brother or
sister married and left the old borne,
and In forming many new ties let some
of tbo old ones Blip. Or in many cases
when the gray-haired mother passed to
her eternal rest, the first to rejoice and
the last to remember had gone, and per-

"The Saloons Have Got My R 4C'
When Rev. George R. Stuart v- - - The
preaching In Kentuoky, there came
down the aisle one night a poor woman
with an intelligent face crying out in her
own peculiar way, showing the deep
anguish of a mother's heart: "Mr.
Stuart, Mr. Stuart, the saloons have gat
my boy I" The preacher's heart ached,
and the large congregation was greatly
moved when he said: "How many
women In this great audience can hold
up their hands with this poor woman."
You should have seen the hands that
went up, showing how many mothers
were having the same sad experience,
Some of them were hands in kid gloves;
some were white, tender hands, while
some were bars and quivering hands,
The preacher said: "Men of Kentuoky, I
don't know what kind of stuff you are
made of; but I ant of that kind of
stuff to stand by the side of these sad
and stricken women, with their uplifted
hands, and help theta to save their boys
out of the clutches of the dreadful
saloon." And num bore of men gat up,
and many cheered. -Christian Work.
The Origin of Ri111-,rd•.
A letter has been dis-overnd in the
British Museum which gives the origin
of this game, It was Invented by a Lon-

but ho sold cloth, and for the latter pur-
pose had a yard measure with wfitah he'

to distract himself, he took the three
round halls which are the emblems of
his trade -they may still be seen In

on his counter, began to hit them about
