how pleased she would be; but no one can

Judicial Sympathy.

From Harpea's Magazine.
Recently suit was tried before an lndi-
ana Justice Of the Peace wherein a lady
was plaintiff and bank defendant. The
evidence showed conclusively that the fair
plaintiff had no right to recover; of this
no one could have the shadow of a
doubt" Her learned counsel knew well
that. unless he could get the sympathy of
the esquire, his client would have lost
cause" He therefore labored hard in
applying the sympathetic process" He
gushed with eloauence of great warmth
in referring to his clients rights. until
finally great tears came trickllng down his
cheeks at the sight of which the Justice
who was a very tender-hearted individually
was also moved to tears. This satisfied
the attorney that the sympathy of the
Court was in behalf Of the lady, and he
closed his argument by saving, 1T does
my heart good to believe that this honor
able Court, in the exercise Of sound dis
cretion, will not allow the rights OF pure
and noble lady TO be trampled beneath the
cloven feet OF a soulless corporation" and
took his seat, as confident that he would
get a judgment as ever poor Miss Elite
was.
Thereupon the Squire rendered the fol-
lowing comprehensive and satisfactory de-
cision. He said: The plaintiff IN this
case is woman, oud her counsel has for
the last hour touched the sympathy Of the
Court in her behalf, and | am glad Of il;
but think, under the law, that justice is
on the side of the bank. therefore will
find IN favor Of the bank, and let the record
show that Mrs.-has the full sym

Ifom toe C0onoy 0entleDAn.
A poor horse is poor piece of property,
because with horses we employ labor at
high prices, and if the team is unable to
do full days work, part of the labor is
wasted. Generally, with superannuated
horses, enough more has to be fed in grain
and meal to largely increase the necessary
expense. l would always feed team
well; but with strong, young horses, this
extra feed will 20 into extra work, and
thus diminish its cost. To keep infrm
horses at work involves greater expense,
a much Of their feed is needed to keep up
weighing 200 pounds or over, and from
five to ten years old, can do an immense
amount of work if well fed and in hands
willing to put them through. The great
satisfaction in using such team comes
from the fact that they will not probably
be injured by any work that they are likely
to be put to.
In keeping q team of work horses,
would seldom turn to pasture, and then
for only very brief time after mid-sum-
mer. and when there was no pressing
work to be done. Horses at hard work
cannot be pastured probably, and if they
are strong and healthy, are letter IN the
stable than anywhere else. Able-bodied
men can work all through the summer six
days out of every seven and take no in
jury. There is no reason why able-bodied
horses in good health should not, with
proper care and feed, do the same.
The bite of grass which pillow
horse gets at any time through spring
work does him far more harm
than good. When burdock leave, appear
a few may be fed. which will be relished
by most horses; but beyond this the diet
should be manly good clover hay, with
corn and oatmeal or cut feed to give
strength, and an occasional feed OF roots
to sharpen the appetite and keep the
bowels open.
With good horses kept in the best con-
dition, il is possible to reduce tine number
employed in working a place Four or
FIVE good strong horses will do the work
of SIX or more poor ones, and do it much
more satisfactory to the owner or the man
who works them. Very often it will be
found advantageous to hire some team
work to supplement that kept on the farm
rather than let work get behind-hand, or
keep more horses than are needed through
the greater part of the year. This is
especially the case where through bad
management the horses on the farm are
unable to do full days work. When
plow'ng or seeding drag along late in the
season from such cause, the fact forebodes
a vast deal of needless work and worry
for the farmer, and an improbable season
at the close. "A stern chase is long
chase" and the farmer who gets behind
hand at the beginning of season. will find
little either Of satisfaction or profit in his
work.

Tho Mining Mania.
rom the st. Louis Times Journs

From the st. Louis Times Journal.
Not since the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia, in 1919, has there been such a
widespread excitement in mining as now
exists. The discovery of new fields has
been goinc on steadily for two or three
years, but the depressed condition of the
country and the timidity of capital grow
ing out of our financial conditions pre-
vented miners and adventures from seek
ing them and deferred capital from in
vesting. The return of prosperous times
and the settling down of finance has turn
ed the tides with striking activity into
Colorado and the territories, where the
rich ore deposits are found. New York,
with her vast unemployed capital, is under
immense excitement, and the transactions
in mining operations there daily reach
enormous proportions. The influence is
largely felt here, not so much in the way
of mining transactions as in the general
stimulus to business in furnishing supplies
to the newly opened regions which are
rapidly being turned into mining camps.
Aside from the business phase of these
interesting movements, the effect of the
tremendous immigration to the territories
of New Mexico. Arizona and Utah. all of
which are rich in the precious metals, will
be to transform them into states, adding
thus much more TO the rapidly growing
power of the west in congress. In our
columns this morning will be found long
and interesting letter from correspond
ent who seems to have given the situation
close study. and which conveys many
interesting particulars. From this it ap-
pears that the vast metallic region is as
yet but upon the threshold of develop
ment. and the contributions to the worlds
wealth from the precious metals are to be
vastly increased in the near future. II is
an interesting question to the political and
financial economists of the world TO deter
mine what will be the effect of the large
accessions of silver and gold here fore
shadowed.
