GOT HIS CASE.
How Well Known Lawyer Worked as an
Undertaker's Assistant.

| hOWh N wen hhOhn Lawyer WOrNeu as N
| Undertaker's Assistant.
A good story is told of q celebrated
lawyer of Massachusetts. He had a
client who had patented process for
preserving meats, and another party
living outside the State had COM
menced suit for infringement. All the
court had decided against the lawyer
except the Supreme Court of the
United States, and before the. case
reached that court the lawyer was
searching to find somebody who had
used the process before, and after
much time and money had been spent
in travelling around the country they
found man in Philadelphia who, II
was said, had process of similar
nature. The attorney was not long in
reaching that city and finding his man,
who proved to be an undertaken and a
German. The interview took place
just after the German had had his din
ner. He was asked if he preserved
the bodies in his business, and making
favorable reply, was asked what he
used and how he applied iti The SEX
ton slowly described the articles from
which the preserving material was
made and carefully explained its ap-
p.ication. The lawyer was delighted
but did not dare show it, for he knew
he had found the very thing for which
he had been searching for years. He
asked of the undertaken the privilege
Of witnessing the operation, but was
told that strangers never came there.
The lawyer determined to see the
thing through, if he possibly could.
The undertaken said that he did not
want anybody loafng around at such
time. This gave the lawyer an OPP
portunity to offer his services as
"helper," whereupon the man Of bodies
said if he wanted to 'help around, "
when he was doing the job, he could
come. This was more than satisfac-
tory, and the lawyer made arrange
ments with the undertaken to send
word to his hotel when he had subject.
Back to the hotel the man of law went,
and quickly got together some old
clothing, for he expected he would be
called at any moment. Early the next
morning the message came, and the
searcher after knowledge repaired to
the place of the dead. The body was
placed in position, and the attorney,
acting the part of the "boy," brought
water and sponges, and with his own
hands mixed the chemicals at the direc-
tion of the undertaken and applied them
to the body. The body was very hot,
and he watched the body until it was
ready to be dropped into the grave,
when he was ready to leave the old
undertaken and give him a chance to
hire another boy.
When the case was called in the
Supreme Court it was but short time
after his experience at the undertaken S
in Philadelphia, and when he argued
his case he showed wonderful famil-
iarity with the subject, and as it was
shown conclusively that the process
had been in use years before the
plaintiff had secured his patent the law
yer won his case. 1t was some years
before these facts came out, and it is q
question now il the other side in the
case has found out how its opponent
got posted on preserving bodies

Getting Up Wood.

There is no better time to get wood
from the lot than on the first SHOWS,
and before a great depth has fallen.
As soon as the ground freezes, the
farmer can generally get time to go
into the wood lot and cut what is
needed for the next seasons supply,
and have it ready to be hauled to the
wood-shed as soon as there comes good
Shedding. This is an easy way to get
the wood out, for it is often difficult to
get about the wood lot with wheels,
and then if the wood is at the door it
can be cut at convenient times and
made ready to be housed. 1t is much
more comfortable cutting wood in the
lot before the snow gets deep. Congre-
gdti9ndlist.

TIDAL WAVES.
Tho Tremendous Wave Which Swept tho
Coasts of Chill and Peru In 1903.

The Tremendous Wave Which Swept tho
Coasts of Chill and Peru In 1868.
A former seaman, who was on board
of the U. S. flagship Powhatan, in Au-
gust, 1868, at the time of the great tidal
wave that swept the coast of South
America, says:
~ noticed that the papers describing
the explosion of 275, 900 pounds Of dyna-
mite at Flood Rock, say that the wave
following the explosion was no more
than the wash of Sound steamer.
The conditions were not exactly those
of an earthquake, but | can not help
thinking that the force Of an earth
quake must be immeasurably greater
than that of the dynamite, when COM
pare this little wave with the great one
which swept the coast of Chilli and
Peru in 1863
81 was on the Powhatan at the time,
and we escaped destruction by the
merest accident. We had been bound
for Africa, but returned to Callao for
coal, and while there were sheltered by
the island San Lorenzo from the tidal
wave, which, however, shook US up
considerably. The vessel tboxed the
compass twenty-three times in as
many minutes, but the anchor and
chain cable held us fast.
"Afterward we went down the coast
to Arequipa, Iquique, africa and other
towns that had been destroyed by the
great wave.
ats size and force can scarcely be
realized. At africa the United States
war ship Wateree was carried eom=
pletely over the town and landed q
long way inland. Only one man was
lost from her, the vessel riding safely
over the buildings, which were, Of
course, destroyed.
''The captain of the mail steamer
Santiago, lying in Tacna, seeing the
wave approaching, ordered all hands
below, battened down matches and
drove the vessel, under a full head Of
steam, into the wave. She emerged
safe on the other side, but with her
decks swept clean of masts, rigging,
smokestack and everything else. Not
q soul was lost,
"But these were exceptional experi-
ences. Nearly all the vessels on the
coast went down with all on board, and
probably one hundred thousand people
perished on land or sea by this terrible
tidal wave.
at is assumed, of course, that this
wave was caused by an earthquake
under the sea; but what an awful con-
vulsion of nature it must have been to
raise wave that could sweep the
shores of a continent, when the great
est charge of explosives ever fired by
man only occasioned wave compared
by imaginative reporters to the wash
of a steamboat n-G0lden DauS.
