"Tired at Three O'clock?" "No Sir! 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

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

by any fault of his. One of tho
horses is to blame. 'If it is so,'
says the marquis, 'tho horso must

ut In Damaging Evidence Against
His Own Client.
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.

Her eyes were wild; her hair was
