A Detroit lawyer received a visit the
other day from a farmer in a neighbor-
ing country, who stated that he
had fallen in trouble with some Of
his relatives over the division Of an
estate.
"What's the amount7' asked the
lawyer.
"About $1,000. was thinking I'd
make you this proposition: II you'll
take the case, and recover the $1,000
I'll give you 5000 of it.
"My dear sir" calmly replied the
attorney, without the least change Of
countenance "you had best consult
some Police Court shyster. | should
not only want the 81 600, but retain
ing fee Of at least $500l Inever divide
with any man."
The farmer has concluded not K

She was then requested TO retire to
her room, where her breakfast was
sent her; and she passed tho day
without seeing any enc, while fear
and hope alternately possessed her.
Surely banjo key was but small
clue.
But at dusk her father suddenly en-
tered her room, holding in his hand
an instrument which looked as If it
had been through three fires and a
siege.
"We've found it, you young scamp!

key that since it was mortal hand

Frank Allen, that young reprobate,
and it was. went down. to the po-
lice station and told the captain what
| wanted, and he sent officer Jones up
to DR.. Aliens house, and there in the
back yard he found that rascal Frank
and two Of his friends practicing on
this accursed thing; and when he
tried to arrest Frank ono of them
struck him over the head with it and
burst the skin, and drove it down
around his neck, and the three young
Williams got away before he could ex-
tricate himself. But here is the ban
10, and I'll bring him to justice if
die for it," and Mr.. Sterne slammed
the door.
But, somehow, within the next
month Lucy stood at the window
again, this time not in her nightdress,
but in travelling dress, and five
minutes later she descended ladder
into her lovers arms.
They have been married year now
and Frank doesn't envy the man in
the moon as much as he used, because
now he says he has cut out the old
fellow entirely, and hasn't got to
stand so far off from his beloved while
he looks at her.

West; "was cowboy stopping cat

eight hundred had got frightened at

Mr.. Cowboy didn't get excited at all

tainly tumble down into the canyon

"You know that when herd ike

mustang, made little detour, came
right in front Of the herd, cut across

at that wild mass Of beef coming right
toward him. He was ms cool as a GU

"Well, sir, when the leader had got

the rear got about where the cowboy

prised to sec them stop and commence
to nibble at the grass. Tlen the
whole herd stopped, wheeled, struggled

He patrolled the grass for an hour,
vowing he would shoot any one he
saw. But the most careful search did
not discover even cat upon which to
vent his rage.
The next morning Lucy stole out
before breakfast in q last effort to find
clew to these remarkable occurrence
es, and much to her establishment she
found it.
As she was walking on the lawn be-
side the veranda her eyes caught o

thought, with an uneasy flush
At any rate she would say nothing
about it, rather than that any harm
should come to him.
But at that moment q voice came
to her ears which made her start and
tremble.

A person accustomed to q life of ac-
tivity longs for ease and retirement /;
and when he has accomplished his
purpose, finds himself wretched. The
pleasure Of relaxation, indeed is known
to those only who have regular and
interesting employment. Continued
relaxation soon becomes a WEAKNESS
and, on this ground, we may safely
assert that the greatest degree Of real
enjoyment belongs, not to the luxuri-
Gus man OF wealth, or the listless vota-
ny Of fashion, but to the middle classes
OF society, who along with the comforts
of life have constant and important
occupation.

defendants moved to postpone the sale,

and ordered the sale to proceed and the
commissioners to report the sale to court

it They were sgsin tenting on the old
camp ground, the joke and song passed
around the camp Are, the old cantsen
sounded it's fsmiliar rattle, the aroma Of
cooked beans whstted the appetite, the rev.
ellie aroused them at the morning light, the
ougle sounded the evening rest, and dream'
Of home and absent friends once more
1oated through tired brains. Aud In the
midst Of all the mirth and reyelry a solemn
stiffness steals over the camp as
memory Of the fallen braves who
sleep lin nsmelsss graves" come to mind.
As DR.. SMITH remarked, IL is hard for the
veterans to realize that they are growing
old. Time turns backward at these old
soldier gatherings, and the old men are
boys" sgsin with all the Ere and yigor Of
their young manhood spent IN their coun-
,ry's service. The Bean Bskes are beau
rful custom. They revive the memories
OF camp life with q freshness and tender
ssntiment that nothing else can.
