Suing his Mother.in-law

From the Chicago Herald.
Matthew Johnson's mother-i law
spat in his face. SO he said, and the
result was a suit for $4,000 damages.
Johnson's lawyer explained to thu
jury that his client didn't have
any hopes OF collecting a cent. even
though the full amount, of the ad
damnum was awarded him. His OBJ.
ject was to teach Mrs. Elizabeth
Elander that she must be more careful
in future.
johnson briefly told his story. He
had always had trouble. with the
Elander family, and his mother-in.law
was particularly "obtrusive" to him.
When he left the court room hi heard
her following him, cursing him round.
ly in Swedish. She overlook him and
called him C. "fendish hangman" or
'tpersecutioner." Then she spat in
his face.
"What did you do?
T. "Iwipedi it off, like this, "and Johnson
whipped q handkerchief from his pis-
toll pocket and illustrated his action.
Mrs. Elander was the only witness
on her own behalf, as was Johnsonfor
himself. She denied positively that
she ever spat in his face, but acknow.
lodged that she called him a dirty
scamp" and said he was eft only to
spat upon" The jury was out less
than half an hour and returned q
verdict of mot guilty" 81

An Infant COWBOY.

People in the east suppose cowboys
TO be rough, uncouth creatures, con-
tinuously in a brawl when not on the
range. Texas, however, has one,
named Logan Mulhall, who is only a
month or two over six years old and a
herd-owner in the Cheyenne nation.
He is the youngest cowboy in the
world. The boy owns over a hundred
head of cattle, has his own brand,
which is duly registered, and he does
fully az much of his own work as any
boy of six has done,' even in the west.
This juvenile patriarch is a son of
Zach Mulhall, well known through the
COW country, and his father is firmly
convinced that such another young
prodigy has not yet appeared in the
grazing lands. The young gentleman
was formally put in possession of a
herd some months ago. He has had
made for himself a little Winchester
rifle and a special revolver, with both
Of which arms he Is said to be very
expert. The boy has his own bunch
Of horses and hires his own help, Of
course under the superintendence Of
his father, and during the present
spring he has every day ridden a line
Of more than three miles about his
herd. This is a development of young
America which the herders in Texas
do not believe al be equaled in any
other part of the country. The boy
is worth about $1,000 in his own
right, and his profits will not be less
than $500 a year, which is more than
falls to the lot Of the average six year
old.-HezenG Independent.

The Little Cryptogram is the name
of a handsome brochure by Mr.. J. Gill
pin Pyle, of St. Paul, which amusingly
disposes OF Ignatius Donnelly's absurd
claim that he has extinguished Shak-
espeare. Mr.. Pyle in O. most laugh
able manner uses the bogus Baconian
cipher to hoist Mr.. Donnelly himself
in a way to proveto demonstration
that the great Cryptogram is from
first to last a palpable adsurdity
and fraud. The Little Cryptogram
will be sent post paid for twenty-five
cents by application to the Pioneer
Press Company st. Paul.

A Righteous Judgment.

Considerable commotion has been
created in insurance circles by the
recent decision of the Maine supreme
court in the case of McGlinchy VS.. the
Fidelity and Casualty Company.
The facts in the case are these: While

policy was driving on a public street.

setting the carriage or coming in con-
tact with anything before he was
brought under control by the driver.
But the driver was apparently en-
dangered at the time, and suffered so
severely, either from fright or from
some strain caused by his physical
exertions in restraining the horse,
that he died within an hour, appar.
emily from heart disease, no mark of
external violence being visible. It
was held by the court. 'that the death
may be considered as having ensued
from bodily injuries effected through
external violent and accidental
means. The clause in the policy which
provides that the insurance shall not
extend to any bodily injury of which
there shall be no external and visible
sign upon the body of the insured
does not apply to fatal injuries, but
only to those not resulting in DEATH"
The organs of insurance companies
are naturally exercised over this deci.
sion, by which the defendant company
was defaulted, and have much to say

The man is still living who, seven.

electrified the people whom he found
there, first by his appearance, and,
secondly. by the communication which

shabby clothes were tied together
with strings. What in the world had

question every n asked himself, and
the wonder can be better imagined

the amount OF $4,000 which he

Baking Powders properly compounded, and

Before committing ourselves. however, we
rnade tGsts Of u sufficient number OF baking
