PROMOTERS OF LITIGATION.

The plaintiff in a 1925, 900 libel sui.
against the Detroit Journal, in voluntarily
withdrawing his complaint, confessed in
open court that he would not have brought
the suit except for the repeated impor.
tunities of no less than five different "at.
torneys," who kept nagging at him. ia
begin an action. He submitted an agree.
ment made with one of these shystcrs by
which the lawyer was to push the suit
ION shares'-to get one-half of any
judgement collected, or nothing if he
failed.
Commenting on this the New York
World says: This is the genesis of 8
large proportion Of the libel suits that are
brought against the newspapers. Some
starvellng attorney or shystering law
sharp ''nags'' away at the person who
considers himself injured, and incites hin
into a suit as a speculation. Very few
bona-fde suits of any other character ar.
ever brought. As the Detroit Free Pres.
says in connection with this case:
The man of real standing and reputation
who has been injured by a newspaper publ
cation, knows very we'll that be can gel
prompter and better redress by a simple re
quest than he can through a suit. He knows
that no reputable newspaper Intentionally
libels anybody, and that all such papers are
moro than ready to make the fullest possible
feparation when, through mistake or other
wise, they have done wrong to anybody.
The old common law against barratry
Or the Indictment of suits and quarrcls
ought TO apply to these professional pro
motors Of libel suits"

A woman,s wit.

1t Is quite commonly claimed that a
WOMAN is not adapted to business our.
suits, and yet there is abundance of ev,.
denc, to prove that In an emergency a
*bihan's ready wit will prove Superior to
d mans heavier p8wseers,
The following incident well illustrates
he kind Of an occasion that will call out
the Keen weapons of a woman's Wit,
Some years ago, when road agents
abounded in M"ntana, a woman was
travelling by coach to join her husband.
One day a fellow passenger said to her,
II have a thousand dollars in my pocket
book, and feel uneasy about the road
agents. Would you mind concealing it
about your dress and returning it at the
end of the Journey If the h%ighwaymen
do stop us they are less likely to search
you than me-"
She acceded to his request, hid the
money in her dress. and the stage drove
away without meeting q road, agent until
toward evening; Then the shout,
mThrow up your handsv'' wis heard.
The driver promptly pulled up, as four
men on horseback with masked faces.
covered him with their pistols.
Two of the h~ighwaymen then rode to
each side of the coach and ordered the
passengers to give up their arms, which
they did promptly.
Now shell out!'' said the robbers.
The passengers handed out their pocket
books; even mel man who had called in
the woman's aid gave up a few dollars.
He was c%ongratulating himself upon
his caution when he heard the woman
say, in a quiet way:
81 have got a thousand dollars, but /
suppose must give them up"
Suitlng the action to the word she
handed over the mans roll of green
backs.
The robbers rode away, and then the
man gave expression to his feelings by
abusing the lady and accusing her of be
traylng her trust from sheer fright.
She smiled mysterious1y.
AT the end of the journey she asked
him to stay all night at her house, and
said that her husband would be glad to
sec him.
sYes, ma'am, l will come to your
house, he said, in a tone of an injured
man; its the least you can do, ma'am.
seeing that you have left me without a
cent in the world"
~ iauy > louse ue was treated as a
distinguished guest, but neither host nor
hostess offered him one word of explana-
ton that night, and he went to bed a sad.
irritated man.
The mex morning, as he entered the
dining room, the host shook hands with
him and saidi
Here are your 81, 00o, sir, which my
wife ventured to borrow in an emergency.
She had $50, 600, which she was bringing
to me, concealed in her dress. She
thought by giving up at once the thous-
and dollars entrusted to her by you she
would save herself from being searched
by the robbers"
Her quick wit saved me from a heavy
loss, and am much obliged to you for
the use of the forced loan"
Breakfast was a far more cheerful meal
to the man than the supper of the night
before.

BY THE RIVER.

I love to walk where paths lie low
Close to the rivers edg,.
Meath branches swaving to and fro
That droop from messy ledge.
Above ny head the April breeze
Goes rushing o'cr the hill
In s%pringtime frolics with the trees.
Though yet his breath is chill.
But as the, grassy brink l tread,
Besides the waters clear,
A %murmuring in the trees o'e-head
Is all Of this l hear.
A murmuring all 80 low and calm,
The birds subdue their notes,
Nor wish to break the peaceful charm
That on the water floats.
Between the trees the genial sun
Bestows n kindly glance
Upon the little violet
That looks UP half askance:
And here and there's 8 buttercup
With countcnarce so bright,
While just a little higher up
Is one that's dressed In white.
And all around prevails nj air
OF quiet and OF peace
luat cen our thoughts are pufcr lnere
And trouble seem to cease.
fam would llnger there Away
Without the cares Of life,
Content to walk that lonly way
So free from busy strife.
But life is real and must be m2t
By hard and earnest toll
That makes us worry, chafe and fret
And share In lifc's turmoil.
Yet still I prize the path that winds
Along the rivers side,
Eacn time my eye some beauty finds
That l have not described.
And though l cannot linger there,
The lessons that are taught
Shall follow me mid toll and care.
And purer make my thought.

Good health, good morals, good sense and

A Strange Sect.

Inc Hcckmanite sect was founded in
1877 bL.a Woman calling herself Dora
Interchangeable vas a native of Maine,
and atter.A3 Wing married and reared a
family i,dren' it was then in her
peoplcsSN5Sli his region by claiming to be
t~hes,fs.h3f Jesus Christ. This was
noeNtSsSH pleasing to her husband, and
much trouble ensucd. Becoming more
aassyeorc impressed with her fanatical
noe9D HIS she travelled about the country
and gave readings and lectures. In
ahls II she secured a large num-
Der of converts. Societies of Beck
NANTES were formed in Chicago, AL
pena, Mich; Plumb River, Kansas
City, st. Charles, Buena Vista, Kings
ton, Mich: Paw Paw, Ill.,, and Min
neapolis. The members all believed
that she was the wife of Christ, not
outstanding she hada living husband.
Since her death, in 1883, they believe
that she has returned to them in spirit
and conducts the meetings which they
bold.
Some agitation about this sect is
stirred up over the publication of a let
ter here, in which it is stated that the
King of the Beekmanitcs, George
Schweinfurth, went to Kentucky a
short time ago and held meetings. in
which he induced two respectable mar

will 44a&kaccord, and returned home
this week, but not until after this
newspaper agitation was started.
Schweinfurth is of German extrac-
ton. He is thirty-iive years of age,
was born in Marion, o., and educated
at Albion College and the Northwest
ern University. He has a pleasant
and engaging address, is abont 5 feet
3 inches in height, with fiery red hair
and beard and light gray eyes. When
seer by a reporter he was neatly at
tired in II gray checked cutaway coat.
Hc readily stated his belief to the in
