prevailing in western cities, whereby the opportunity

follows: Clubs composed of forty members, who

goes to the originator of the PLAN When the club is
formed they mutually agree to purchase forty watches
for the sum Of hundred and sixty-fve dollars.
Each week thereafter the members meet, and
each pays dollar. at which time mum
Der is drawn, which entities the owner Of
such number to select and receive his watch.
similar to the old plan of watch clubs with the ex-
ception that upon the drawing off number further pay
ments of that number cease. The remaining members
Qess one each week. continue their payments and
drawings for thirty weeks when all payments cease
and the remaining members receive their watches.
The watches 50 distributed a gold-6lled case.

How n Legal Man Made n Thief Plead
Guilty After AcquittaI.
"TEe only lawyer who mado his client
plead guilty after being acquitted was
c. NJ. Hardy" said a lawye: to u Chica-
go Tribune reporter. at happened
this way:
"a man was arrested for burglary.
Tho principal evidence against him was
an overcoat found in tho house, which
tho burglar had evidently left in his
pockets Of tho o~vcrcoat were some
printed businesscards bearing this mans
name, which We will call Tom Jones,
furniture remover. OF course Jones
was arrested; tho coat was found TO fit
him exactly, and it looked q dead sure
thing that ho would be copri3ted.. But
nobody had seen tho burglar enter tho
house or leave it, and 1t was not n diff
cult matter to provo an alibi for tho
prisoner. or course that meant disown-
ing tho overcoat, which Jones promptly
did. When the case came before tho.
jury 1t was n treat to hear Mr.. Hardy
argue the a~bsurdity Of burglars "going
a-burgling" with their business cards in
their pockets. He didn't attempt TO
show how tho cards happened to DO in IN
o%vercoat which exactly fitted his client,
but threw tho whole thing overheard,
rs it were, and made tho prosecution alp
pear in such q ridiculous light that tho
jury acquitted the prisoner after Gvo
minutos' deliborntinn.
"But whom the lawyer and his client
werc leaving the criminal court by the
Michigan street steps 1t began to rain.
Mr.. Hardy buttoned up his ovorcoat
round his neck, and, noticing that his
client vas minus an o%vcrcoat, no said:
Jones, you had better go back to court
and bring your ovorcoat,' abiding to
tho m which he had SO s~trenuously
disowncd n few moments before.
"Thc man, not wishing to got wet,
turned back TO got his coat, and had
reached tho top step before it dawned
on him that to apply for tho cont would
BIO an equivalent to q confession Of
guilt. At once rctracing his steps no
overlook his lawyer at the corner Of
Clark street.
