The deceased was born near Ever

had recently removed, with his family,
to Montgomery, where he had en-
gagged in merchandising, and by his
enterprising spirit and sterling quail
ties was rapidly making friends. As
husband, father and friend he was
tender, devoted, indulgent and siucere.
His heart seemed full of the milk of
human kindness and his whole nature
was instinct with those high and
generous qualities which never fail to
attract and enchain true and devoted
friends. Poor jim! Ours was but a
short acquaintance, but in that time
we had learned to value many good
traits which did much to endear you to
a true and devoted wife and family,
with whom we sincerely sympatliize in
their sad bereavement.

An Incompetent Adviser.

A judge of local fame and an attache of his
court frequently have friendly consultations
about the administration of justice. Not long
ago chicken-thief preferred the mercy of the
judge to that of jury. and submitted his case
to court without evidence or argument simply
on plea of guilty. The judge was bothered
about how far certain extenuating circumstances
should go in lessening the punishment saying to
legal friend: II don't know what to do with
this fellow don't want to give him long sen
tence, nor do want to let him off altogether"
Il would send him to the penitentiary for a
full term. Any man who will steal chickens
ought to be in prison for life," suggested the
attache.
II don't want any opinion from you," replied
the judge You can't give an impartial de-
cision on chicken-stealing. Any one who has
had his poultry-yard robbed is not fit to pass OF
this case"
''Since them said the attache as he told this
story to man who had asked him to see tine
judge about another matter. II have not volun
teered an opinion. The judge runs this court tc
suit himself I am not bothering about judg
ments and decisions now"
