Few girls are dauntless enough to risk being married on a Friday and also in the month of May, which is considered a very unlucky time, while April, June, September, October and December are deemed the luckiest months of the year says a writer. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are considered the best •lay to be married on, if assurance of happiness is desired Monday for wealth, Tuesdav for health, Wednesday the best day of all! Thursday for crosses. Friday for losses, Saturday no luck at all. All brides- elect rejoice when the marriage day dawns bright, rememlnn ing the old adage: "Blest Is- the bride upon whom the sun doth shine." And all are equally certain that To change the name and not the letter, Is a change for the worse and not for the better. Thirteen of Co. H. 13th.

A maiden in Tennessee won her suit for breach of promise. Defendants ap pealed the case on the ground that the plaintiff s attorney unduly had influ enced the jury by shedding tears, which, it was alleged, moved the sympathies of the jury in the woman's belalf. The Supreme < "ourt has decid ed against the appellant. The court, holds that, the shedding of tears by a lawyer on behalf of his client is not only permissible, but. is among "the natural rights of counsel which no statute or constitution could take away." The court is even more em phatic and says "If counsel have tears at command, it may be seriously questioned whether it is not his profes sional duty to shed them whenever projier occasion arises." The decision of this unique question of law should operate as a boom to emotional layers If, in the line of business, a lawyer has the ability to -ihed tears at a goo< 1 fee pershed.it would indeed be hardship to "lock up the shed."
