Ingersoll on Lawyers and Clients.

The Boston Herald quotes Colonel
Bob Ingcrsoll Us saying: "Thc lawyer
is merely sort of intellectual strump-
ct. He is prcprcpared to receive big
fees and make the best of either side
of any case He is sort of burglar in
the realm of mentality. 1t is a for
tunate thing for the lawyers that,
whenever man is created who has the
peculiar faculty for legal requirements
and controversy, at the same time
enough fools spring in to existence to
give him good living. 1t is illustra-
ted in the story of the man who stud
led for the ministry and occupied the
pulpit for number of years without
success, and then studied medicine
and practiced this profession for a
number of years without success, and
then studied law, and entering upon
this practice made a fortune at it. He
declared he had found men more will
ing to pay for having their own way
than TO be guaranteed their souls or
to keep their bodies whole My ideal of
lawyer is that of the great English
attorney who, having accumulated a
fortune of e1 900 900, left it all in a will
to make home for idiots, declaring
that he wanted to give it back to the
people from whom he took it. l never
want to know much about my clients !;
never want to know whether they're
guilty or not. | do not even care to
know what they can prove. What l
want to know is what the other fellow
can prove. When / know that, am
ready for business" 1t is but Just to
observe that Colonel Ingersoll must
judge his brethren from his own stand
point, and not from personal knowl-
edge.

The Buffalo Girls.

Surprise parties are not so numerous
as of yorc, and kissing games are not
50 popular as dancing. Their indul-
gcnce is rare, but, says the Buffalo
| Courier, at one of these parties the
other evening, at an uptown residence,
the Junior female element insisted on
being permitted to show their brethren
something new. They had founded II
new order, it was explained, and
wished to initiate the boys into its
mysteries. They took possession of
the front parlor and closed the folding
doors, leaving one of their number to
guard. The gentlemen found one of
their crowd-a beardless youth-had
disappeared, and wondered what had
become of him; they learned to their
sorrow. The lodge being in readiness
for the reception of candidates, one of
the young men was escorted into the
room. lie found four blushing maid
ems standing in row in the corner of
a room, with chair in front of them.
Upon this he was seated and blind
folded, and then told that one of the
girls would kiss him, if he could guess
her name he would be privileged to re-
peat the OSCILLATION. Ofcourse, he made
miserable failure, but instead of being
allowed to retire was compelled to oc-
cupy a seat on the opposite side of the
room. Just imagine his feelings when
the next victim had been led in and
had been prepared for the sacrifice, to
see the missing beardless youth rise
up ghostlike from behind the girls, inn
print good, sound smack on the up
lifted and cXpcctant lips of the candi-
date and then dodge back to his place
of cOncealment. One after another
the young men were victimized. The
fun OF it was, though, to hear some of
them demand more than one trial be-
fore the removal of the hoodwink-
one, well known physician, not being
content with less than three kisses
He was cnthuiastic over their sweet
ness, until the sweet was turned to
gall as he saw the boy salute his sue
ccssor on the throne of mystery.

The Forfeiture Question.

The people of this country will be
glad to know that determined effort
will he made this session of Congress
to settle the question of the forfeiture
of the Northern Pacific land grant.
The uncertainty of the title to these
lands is all that prevents Washington
Territory from going ahead with a
boom. At present the question is
adapted only for politicians and the
worst kind of land lawyers who are
fattcning upon the issue to the detri-
mcnt Of the country at large The
Minneapolis TriJune's Washington
special says:
\ strong effort has been made
during this session to effect Il COM
promise of the difference between the
Senate and House on the Northern
Pacific land grant forfeiture bills.
The delay and doubt of pending legis-
ittipi HIS tlitctcu tIlc safe ol ianuS DN

dispose of all controversy which affects
titles. The Senate bill for. GER
tain lands in Oregon and Washington
Territory, while the House bill covers
all west of Bismack, to which point
the road was finished within the time
specified by the grant. The Northern
Pacific people will not say what they
are willing to agree upon, but they
have said they would not contest the
Senate bill in the event of its bccom-
ing Il law. A recent division of the
supreme Court has established beyond
all controversy that forieiturcs on the
basis OF delay in completion OF a road
will not be upheld. and for this reason
the House may now he more favor
ably disposed than heretofore"

| wander how it is that Eastern
people have so little conception OF the
real looks Of this Sound country; with
So many accurate descriptions i'll
magazines and papers, they don't get
the right idea at all, and are Just as
much astonishcd when they see this
- nd old forest and placid reach of
water H. though they never heard n
word about it, and cxclaim-"l had
no idea il looked like this, and /
thought your big logs We're mostly
stories" Almost any tree would keep
Il family in wood for two or three
years, and there are plenty of trees
that make 10000 feet of lumber each !;
any one can go into the woods and
saw wood for himself and welcome; all
it need cost is the hauling.
To thoroughly appreciate the boun-
tiiul provision of nature here, one
ought to live as We did, on high,
windy plateau in Kansas, where for
four years we suffered Il dearth of
wood, water, fruits, flowers and vege-
tables, making this beautiful green
country seem by contrast like Il veri-
table land Of rest where one need not
go hungry, for the woods are full OF
fruits and game, and the waters alive
with fish, and nowhere in the world
are there such delicious clans and
oysters. For cultivated fruits even
California does not equal Washington
Territory; for early and prolific bear
ing-ior size and general excellence,
this as Il fruit country cannot be cX-
ccllcd. have seen plums this sum-
mcr that by actual measurement were
six inches in circumference, and other
fruits, apples, pears, ounces, peaches,
and Ill kinds of berries and currants
do equally well. The soil is very pro-
ductivc and vegetables are grown
with ease.
A lot of ground, 50xl00 feet is
sufficient for all the fruit, large and
small, and all the vegetables family
OF six will consume in a year. Hard
to clear? OF course it is, but is it not
we'll worth while to clear it And our
beautiful flowers! There is not a
time in the year when We cannot
gather boquet. English ivy, myrtle,
honey-sucklc, pansics and all the roses,
do especially well, running riot over
everything if not cared for, and kept
within bounds. Springs of sweet,
pure, limped water, soft as rain water,
and cold rs ice, abound everywhere
What more is wanted to make this the
most desirable spot on Uncle Sans

cxacting can desire, the air moist and
humid, but hcalthiul, soft and balmy
spicy and exhilarating. Well, for all

1t went with her 10 church one day.
Ahuul a three mile walk:
And when she got into her seat
You should have heard her talk.
There was n funeral that day,
And every one did weep:
But Mary never shcd lear
She squirmed up in heap.
"Take off your shoe, my darling child,'
Her tender mother said:
But Mary only heaVcd a sigh
And shook her little head
Then stcrnlv did her f;lthcr look
What could poor Mary do
But elevate her little loot
And shed her little shoe:
The burial service heiIg said,
Each deacon left hi> pew;
And lntead of bearing of the corpse
Walked out with Mary shoe.
And as they bore it down the aisle,
Some stranger, il il said.
Had the irrcvcrcnce 10 ask
How long the man was dead.
