"Ten or twelve years ago I wit nessed the must dramatic situation of my life in a Philadelphia court room,’’ said Henry J. Erskine, of tho Quaker City. "It occurred during the trial of on important suit involv ing certain franchise rights of the Pennsylvania railroad in Philadel phia. Benjamin Brewster, after ward attorney general of the United States, was then the chief counsel of the Pennsylvania company. Brow ster, you know, was a frightfully ugly man on account of a terrible disfiguration of his face from burns, but intellectually be was a giant and in deportment a Chesterfield. "So groat was the udmiration for the man's powerful montu) parts that ono soon forgot his 4igliness, • He was oxtremely sensitive of his facial misfortune, but never referred to it himself, nor did any of Ids thousands of friends evor ask him the cause. "The trial to which I refer was a bitterly contested affair, and Brew ster at every point got so much the best of the opposing counsel that by the time argument commenced his leading adversary was in a white heat. In denouncing the railroad company this lawyer, with his voice tremulous with anger, exclaimed: 'This grasping corporation is os dork, devious and scarified in its methods as is the face of its chief attorney and henchman, Benjamin Brewster 1' “This violent outburst of rage and cruel invective was followed by a breathless stillness in the crowded courtroom that was painful. Hun dreds of prying eyes wore riveted on the poor, scarred face of Brewster, expecting to see him spring from his choir and catch his heartless ad versary by tho throat. Never be fore had any one referred to Mr. Brewster’s misfortune in such a way. or even in any terms, in bis pres ence. Instead of springing at the man and killing him like a dog, os the audience thought wus his de sert, Mr. Brewster slowly arose and spoke something like tills to the court: " ’Yotir honor, in all my career ns a lawyer, I lui.vo never dealt in per sonalities, nor did 1 ever before feel called upon to explain the. cause of my physical misfortune, lmt I will do so now. When a boy—and my mother, God bless her, said I wns a pretty hoy—when u little boy, whilo playing around an open fire one day with a little sister just be ginning to toddle, she fell into the roaring flames. I rushed to her res cue, pulled her out before she was seriously hurt and fell into the fire myself. When they took me out of tho cools my face was os black as it man's heart.’ ’The last sentence was spoken in a voice whose rage wus that of a lion. It had an el ctrieal effect, and the ap- " .use that greeted it wns superb, taut turned to the iptuous hisses directed >r that had so cruelly great and lovable Brovr- nwyer’s practico in Phil adelphia afterward dwindled to such insignificance that he had to leave tho city for a new field."—St Loul Globe-Democrat. ; horse symbolizes an in- —irected heavenward; the :k represents hard matter of — ual knowledge; thefoun- „-Ug therefrom represents i where the virgin sciences to dwell. — Our Animal J*, Gould Deeerlbee o'Raid.
