A Yankee with Forty-six Trades.

Mr.. c. R. King, Of this city, is q
natural genius. When a boy of nine
or ten he completed a miniature saw
mill, N exact counterpart Of the
mill owned by his uncle. for whom he
worked. This was placed under the
mill, where it vas run by q water
wheel. Long, red potatoes were cut
into "planks" and "boards," the
machinery running with the precision
of the larger machines. AS he grew
older his genius developed until he
could turn his hand at anything.
He worked at many trades and was
the master of each after q short ap-
premiership. MI. King is now 60
years of age, and in making a list of
the various trades he has followed he
finds the totalto be forty-six. Hart
ford times.

A PARrsIaN who had grievances
against his wife took advantage OF
the new law and obtained q divorce.
Then ~he.thought he might ut the
same time suppress the pension leg
ally agreed to in favor of his mother
in-law at his marriage, but the lady
resisted andith question went tothe
courts. There it was proved that M.
Naquet's law was defective, for itwas
decided that although the divorced
man had no longera wife, he hadno
been divorced from his mother-in-
law, and must continue to pay her
pension.

Sam Wood, the irrepressible, has
suddenly become hero in Southwest
Kansas. AS an attorney for settler
who was in the deadly grippe of loan
company, Sam procured decision in
the district court that is carrying con-
sternation to the Shylocks who have
been squeezing the. life out of the
western homesteaders. In their eager
ness to make loans at high rate of
interest, these companies took mort
cages on pre-emptions and homesteads
before final proof. Bad years followed,
and the settlers could not meet their
semi-annual payments of interest.
The Shylocks were memorable, and
demanded their pound of flesh when
the payment arrived. When the money
was not forthcoming, they foreclosed
and took possession at once. Finally
the settlers, who are, of course, as
poor as church mice, appealed to the
law in hopes that it would IN some way
shield them from the rapaeity of the
wolves that were despoiling them, and
give them chance to catch up and re-
tain their homes.
Sam Wood undertook their defense.
He made the plea that when the loan
companies took mortgages on home
steads or prescriptions before 6nal
proof. they did an illegal thing, and
therefore had no remedy at law to re-
cover. Judge Botkin of the district
court of Stevens county, sustained the
plea and ruled accordingly. The de-
cision was god send to hundreds of
settlers whose situations were precisely
similar to the one tried before Judge
Botkin. Sam Wood became q hero
among them, and already has been
employed by more than 200 of them to
aid in lighting the loan companies.
The result of the decision if sus-
tanned in the higher courts. will be the
loss of millions to the loan companies,
or those of them which have manifested
disposition to crowd the settlers TO
the wall.
There is sort of poetic Justice in
thus melting out the law to q lot OF
cormorants whose aim was not 50 much
to make q fair or even high rate of
interest in their loans, as 60 get posses
sion of thousands of acres of land
which win in the near future be vaIu-
able properly.
