HIS COLLAR BEGAN TO
SMOKE.

In Evansburg, Indiana, there is
a young attorncy-or at least an
alleged attorney-who was never
known to have won o case and
some say that though he had been
a full fedged lawyer for several
years, he had been full fedged
he never had a case.
His appearance is somewhat
against him. He don't look like G

and sway them as he chose. He,

He is always at court, however
and chews as much tobacco as any
body, and looks as wise as the
wisest when a knotty point comes
up and some brother attorney re-
fers learnedly to Holson V. Bobson,
1st Ind, sec. Z, page 81.
The other day the court was
hard at work, and Brown-we call
him Brown because it's so easy to
write-was there. A poor devil
was brought up on some charge and
the Judge said, "Who's your at
torney ?"

"Well, what are you going to do ?
You must have somebody to defend
you, even if it's q matter of form

money to hire one."
swell, in that case," said the
Judge, I'll appoint an attorney to
defend you. Mr.. Brown, you may
take the prisoners case, and do the
best you can for him.
The prisoner looked at Brown a
moment, then at the Judge, and
then at Brown again. Then he
said slowly.
Judge is this the man you ap
point to defend me ?"
Eyes, sir; Mr.. Brown will take
your case"
"Then said he slowly, I'LL jist
plead guilty and then be done with
it,"
And they say Brown turned so
red that his paper collar began to
smoke.

SWEPT INTO THE STREAN,
One Thousand Acres of Land and
Right Smart Of Bears

On the deck ofa big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
by sweep Of his arm the waters the boat
! was passing over, he said TO passenger
from the North: "Whcn | was twelve years
old killed my first bear on a new plantation
my father was then cutting out of forest
that grew directly over the waters of this
| bend. That was mighty good plantation,
and there was right smart of bears there, too
But that one thousand acres OF land went into
the Mississippi years ago."
It is putting no strain upon the figure to
| say that great forests Of youthful hope, wo-
| manly beauty and manly strength are swept
in the same way every year into the great,
| turbid torrent Of disease and DEATH Yet it
should not be so. That it is so is 4 disgrace
as well as a loss. People arc largely too

That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple,
but to rcckicSSncss or ignorance the simplest
things might as well be complex as propo-

REASONING POWERSIN THE
HORSE.

Not long since fine blooded
mare was brought here from Ken
lucky and placed in pasture, and
the owner, not expecting her to
foal, took no particular care of her.
A couple of days ago she foaled
while in the pasture and surround
ed by many other horses, which
made so much over her difficulty
that she, being frightened, ran, with
her weakling following after as best
she could, in hopes to shelter her
self and offspring from the torments
of the herd. In her excitement
she made for the Floyd, a stream
running through the pasture, some
80 yards in width, which she plung-
ed into and swan to the opposite
shore; the colt following, but lack
ing strength, did not succeed in
leaving the stream, but with great
tenacity of life clambered into some
willows which grew on shore, and
there remained, apparently chang
ing on for dear life" The mother,
having discovered her error in get
ting the colt into such position,
either by ''instinc:" ora conclusion
of mind, at once started for help,
