I Use the Monarch" IF typewriters were machines run by mechanical means in stead of human hands, you would find that, agfren amount, a jK ircr, a Monarch could be run at a higher maintained speed than other typewriters. Run by "girl power," you find that the Monarch is run at a higher all-day average speed than other typewriters, and without a "tapering off,M from fatigue toward the day's end. Both these truths are due to the fact that LTGr HT TOUCH. lightens the draft, uses nower more economically. Eliminates the waste of energy that typifies the heavy-touch machines. This in turn means increased production per machine and de creased cost of typewriter work per folio. While Monarch Light Touchand the MONARCH ? ? ? ? ? Y 38 Y 1 ? Monarch Rigid Carriage are exclusive Monarch features, every other import ant feature of the modern typewriting machine, such as Back Space Key, Two Color Ribbon Shift, Contained Tabula tor, etc., etcwill also be found on the Monarch.

At least he did nil that was necessary to justi fy the opinion one had of him. One day 11s he was rushing violently through the streets in his brilliant equipage one of his forses fell. The carriage was upset, and the mar quis received an ugly contusion. He is brought bnck to his mansion ; he is in n rage; ho wiints to dismiss his coachman. The latter justifies him self. The accident was not caused by any fault of his. One of tho horses is to blame. 'If it is so,' says the marquis, 'tho horso must be punished; every fault must have its penalty.' lie orders all his household to oppear steward, but ler, valets, scullions, grooms. It is a veritable court of justice. They nil take their places. The marquis presides. The accused is brought in. lie preserves in bis noble bear ing the calmness of innocence.

It tloes not seem to he frequent that a plaintiff get through the courts what he considers a satis factory settlement for damages for an injury sustained when a railroad company is the defendant. Cases nru of record, however, where the attorney for the railroad has un consciously admitted evidence that resulted it. u tp!Vt f t Mi" ;i!:iin? tilL Such a case was that of Mifc. Herkimer of lteloit, who Fued ho Missouri Pacific for $10,000 bo tore a court in Kansas. The defendants were represented by tho able and learned Waggoner, who Fought to prove that there wm a full moon on the night of ,tho accident and to place tho responsi bility with the plaintiff. A messen ger loy was sent for and secured nn almanac of tho year of the acci dent. Kxamining it only to learn that it contained tho desired proof, ho offered it in evidence. In his argument the lawyer for the plaintiff declared that the de fendant company was the property of certain millionaires, whom he nnmed, who had amassed fortunes totaling a great number of millions and were well able to enro for his crippled client. Waggencr was immediately on his feet offering loud objection to this line of argument, claiming that nothing had been introduced in the evidence to justify tho state ment. "May it please your honor, there is," declared the other lawver. "It is in the direct evidence offered by the learned attorney for the de fense." "Where?" shouted the surprised Waggoner. "It is in this almanac, your honor," cplmly replied the lawyer. He had studied the book, and there in its pages were pictures of tho men named, together with sketches of their lives, and every one of them was rate.l at from $100,000, 000 to $150,000,000. These figures evidently appeared to the jury to be substantial enough to award 11 verdict for the amount asked, and that without leaving their seats. New York Tribune.
