The FALLEN Judge.


twenty five years ago young lawyer,
tired OF waiting for clients in bic native

New YORK. AS business came in slowly,
no drlited into politics. and his pleasant
manners, aided by his fluent tongue
made him popular with "the boys" who
pack ward meeting and nominate can.
didates
In order to make new friends and re.
tain old ones, he visited saloons and bar.
rooms. and made himself "hail fellow.

The little money he earned during the
day was spent at night in treating" the
men he wished to use az stepping stonea.

He did remove himself from his bar.
room associates, and tried to do his duty
MS Judge and good citizen. But he
had formed the habit of drinking, and
that he did not eradicate. Instead of
visiting saloons, he became member of
fashionable club, and drank champagne
instead of whisky. The club men were
more genteel than the ward politicians,
but not more helpful TO man WHO had
promised himself to break away from
evil. O
When the judges term of Office had
expired, the "boys" resented being
dropped. He was not 70 o.elected. and
the failure unnamed him. He took up
again with whisky, and became so dissi.
pated that his genteel associates would
not recognize him. He sank lower and

One morning, week or two ago, q

As the justice looked over the group, he

II used to keep on rubbing the oil into

thought they'd know when they had
enough and wanted to give satisfaction,
Some OF my customers complained that
the oil soaked through their boots and
saturated their socks. Thought perhaps
had been putting on too much oil, but
the same fault was found in several cases
where had been more careful. Finally
an old shoe maker, whom knew, came
along, and asked him what to do to
save my trade. He told me never to oil
q shoe until had wet 1t first. The
reason was that the water would pene.
trate the leather, and, remaining there.
keep sthe oil from soaking through,
Besides the water would soften the leath.
er and open 1t SO that the oil would do
the leather more good. My trade has
prnspered ever since.
II was oiling man up one day and he
asked the Same question you did. When
explained the reason he said that was
on the same principle as that of painting
kerosene oil. barrels. I told him I
thought they were painted blue Just to
look nice. He said it was to prevent the
barrels from leaking. During O long
voyage or long journey by r<,il, some.
times half barrel would leak through
the pores Of the wood aud evaporate.
z" some sharp fellow, began to etudy.
some way of preventing such loss. He
first painted the barrel blue ON the out.
side and then filed It with water and
allowed it to stand until. h8d soaked up
all it would. Then tho oil was put in.
Tho water kept the oil from soaking
into the wood, and the paint on tho out.
aide kept the water from coming out.
He got patent on his discovery and
now he sits in his Office and draws his
royalty of one cent on every barrel made
to hold kerosene oil for shipment

Learning Easy ThlasS.

There are some boys who do not like
to learn anything that is hard. They
like easy lessons and easy work but
they forget that things which are learned
easily are comparatively little value
when they arc learned. A man who
confines himself to easy things must do
hard work for small pay. For example.
q boy can learn 70 saw wood In Eve
minutes any boy can learn to saw It In
the same time any ignorant person can
learn II just as easily; aud the result is
the boy who has only learned TO saw.
wood, If he gets work to do, must do 1t in;
competition with the most Ignorant clasa.
and accept'tbe wages for which they are
willing to work. R5
Now, it is very well for boy to know
how to saw wood. But suppose he knew
how TO build steam engine This
would be- much harder to learn than
saving wood but when he had learned:
1t, he would know something which other
people did not know, and when he not
work TO do, otherpeople could not come
and get 1t away from him. He would
have prospect Of steady work and good
wages he would hRve o good trade. and;
so be independent Boys should think
Of fhis, and spend their carly days In
learning the things they need to know Id

"That You Might Call Ncrye.o

County," said Deacon Charles N. Bean.
OF the public stores. II was up there on
business last week, near Harpersfield,
and III acquaintance took me out to fish
for pickerel through the ice. On our
way to the pond we came to a couple of
men chOpping in the woods. My friend
knew one of the men, and stopped 10
talk with him. The other man Kept on
chopping. He had made but two or
three strokes with his axe when it flew
off the handle. The sharp blade whizzed
through the air, passed close to- my
friends head, aud striking the other
chopper, whose name was Hagar, cut his
nose off close to his face as clean as if it
had been done with razor. The man
who had lost it put his hand up TO his
face in o startled sort of way, and looked
down at the severed nose as if he could
hardly believe his eyes. When the full
force of the situation struck him he
looked at his fellow chopper with an
expression of surprise and deep injury
on his face. and said.
We'll, Jack, you're d-n nice fellow,

"Hagsr then stopped and picked up
his nose and. pressing his handkerchief
to his bleeding face astouDded both my
friend and myself by resuming the sub.

quence had occurred to interrupt il. NV
friend, however, started the other chap
to the village after doctor, and wanted
10 take Bsgar home at once on his buck
board. Hagar wouldn't hear to this, and
said he would cut across to his cabin
through the woods aud wait for the doc.
tor, aud he started of, without any ap.
parent hurry, carrying isnose in his
hand.
"When we returned that night we
went out of our way two miles 10 inquire
after Hagar. We found him chopping
up fire wood in front of the cabin.
There was bandage around his face.
When we asked him if the doctor had
seen him he sail:
Yes. he's be,n here. He suck the
nose on its old piece and bound 1t there,
and said he believed it would grow fast
