A Sample Case.

CHAPTER lit was New Years
morning. He had been thinking
deeply for day or two, and there was
q Spartan look on his face as he sat
down to breakfast. He was usually
quiet, though he said he never felt
better in his life.
CHAPTER II.-Rising from the ta-
BILE, he drew forth his tobacco-box and
said to his wife:
Hannah, Pm going to quit the
weed!"
"NoW
"Yes, am. I've been slave to
the disgusting habit for forty years;
but now Pm done with it.; Come here,
Hannah" Boss.
She followed him to the door, and
he flung the box far out into the back
yard.
CHAPTER / flour days had passed.
Dried pumpkin, cloves, spices, gum
and dried beef had been chewed in
place of the accustomed quid. The
family cat had been kicked out of
doors, the dog had fled, the hired girls
nose was up; every peddler in town
came to the door.
"But you will stick to your resOlu-
tion, won't you? asked the wife.
III will or diew he replied.
CHAPTER LAST.JTwas dark. Man
sneaked around the house-on his
knees on the grass--pawed around
fingers clutched an object-lid flew
open-mOved his right hand to his
mouth-"Yum! yum! But what q
fool wasp
Moral-Don't chew.-M Quad.

Mr.. Eustis, who was last week chos-
en- Senator by the Democrats in the
Louisiana Legislature, is gentleman
of culture and wealth and of high
character, and his appearance here is
likely to give a new shape to the
Pinchback question. 1t is we'll known
that several Republican Senators have
been constantly opposed to the admis-
sion of Mr.. Pinchback, and it was said
early in the session that If moderate
man of either side came up as Senator,
with Governor Kellogg's certificate, he
would probably get the seat. There
is, however, a rumor from New Or
leans of negotiation looking to delay
in the decision here until the Louisi-
upon il is said Governor Kellogg will
cut the knot of the difficulty by lap-
pointing Collector Casey Senator, who
Is to present his credentials and be
admitted at once. To secure Mr..
Pinchback's consent to this plan the
same report says he has been prom
ised the position of Minister to Hayti.
A strong effort will be made by the
Democrats before the Legislature ad-
journs to show cause why Senator
West should be unseated. 1t is be-
lieved that the proceeding would not
be unpleasant to the President, who
has been at different times annoyed
by Senator Vests pertinacious oppo-
sition to appointments he wished to
make, such as that of Judge Pardee.-
