Great FTeshet in kansas--DaMaKc TO Rail-
roads
Solomon, Kansas, May 9.--lmmensc
freshets are now prevailing lall along the
line of the Kansas Pacific railroad, in con-
sequence of the recent heavy rains sudden
ly filling up the rivers. All of the rivers
are swollen and have oyerfiowed their
banks, causing incalculable damage. The
long lines Of embankment upon which the
railroad runs have given way before the
weight and pressure of the water that has
been damned up by them. The result is
that the track is gone in many places, va
rying in length from 100 to 500 yards
None of the trains are running at present,
and the delay in travel will continue for
some days. The extent of the damage is
not yet fully ascertained.

A MODELLAWYER

Squire johnson was model LAWYER, as the fol
lowing anecdote will show
Jones once rushed into the Squirrels Office in a
great passion and said ''that Internal scoundrel
of a cobbler, Smith has sued me for FIVE dollars
for pair of boots"
Then you owe him five dollars"
''To be sure do but he's gone and sued me-
pued me ~
''Hhen why don't you pay him, If you owe him 81
Because he's sued me, when a man does that
I'll never pay him till it costs him more than he
gets. want You to make it cost him all you
can"
But it viii cost you something too.n
II don't care for that What do you charge to
begin with =.
"Ten dollars, and more if there's much extra
trouble"
"All right There's the X. Now go ahead"
No sooner was his client gone than Squire
Johnson stepped across to his ne'ghbor Smith,
and offered to pay the bill on condition that the
suit should be Withdrawn The shoemaker gladly
accepted all he wanted was his pfy. The law
yer retained the other FIVE for his fee and as the
case was not troublesome he made no demand up-
on his client
Ten days after, Jones came to see how his case
was getting on.
"All right" said the lawyer ''you won't have
any tronblel about that. I pat it to Smith so
strongly that he was glad to withdraw the suit
altogether"
"Capital y cried the exhaulting Jones' "You
have done it brown You shall have all my bug
mess hereafter
