A Valuable Opinion.
How do they do it,

How do they do it,
Years ago A. II. Stewart was har-
assed by a certain treasury decision,
which vastly Increased his payments
OF duties. His lawyer called n day
about another matter. Stewart spoke
in an exasperated way about he treas
ury decision.
LET me see the decision" said the
lawyer. After reading it through he
said:
This law speaks OF 'all silk gar
ments. Why don't youhave n thread
OF worsted run into these goods when
they are made abroad?'
will that come within the new law"
asked the great merchant.
Certainly"
"How much do yon want for that
%upinion?" asked stewart n few mo-
ments later.
FIFTY thousand dollars" said the
lawyer. And he got it. He vas mod
est too, but n dollar went farther in
those days than it does now.
Stewart years aftertold his legal adj
wiser that the casual suggestion made
that day had been worth over 81 800
600 to the merchant.
So the $4,000 fee was not high.

Innocent Sport in Maine.

The latest fad in lewiston, Me, is
telling ones age with a hair. 1t is not
new, but an old fad that has been re-
vived and it is generally tried on a
horse, the hair being taken from the
tail, although on human beings sit
works Just as we'll" The idea is this:
Suspend a gold ring from a piece OF
hair over half a glass OF cold water
and the ring will begin to swing to and
fro until it hits the sides OF the glass.
1t will strike theexact age OF thehorse,
or, if it be a persons hair, OF the per-
son upon whose head it grew.

FROM HOT TO COLD.
1t Was Sweating Weather, But Marcus Made
the Man SILVER.

Chicago Herald: Marcus DAILY, the
rich miner and crafty politician OF
Montana, stood in front OF the Audi
forum yesterday when the suns rays
were hottest.
He was waiting for a carriage and
wishing for winter.
1t seemed that if every acquaintance
that said something to him said some
thing about the warm day.
This was becoming tiresome.
Presently a fresh young man with a
salmon-colored suit and silver-headed
cane came out OF the hotel.
He noticed the famous Montanian
trying to cool himself with a handker-
chief.
Good morning, Mr.. DAILY"
"Morning."
''Hot, isn't it?"
"What say?" asked thepolitician as
he almost looked through the young
man.
II say it's quite hot"
"Didn't quite get YOU" and he put
his hand to his ear.
al said" and the fellow yelled, cts
hot; quite hot"
step into the hotel a moment"
The two men walked inside the
hotel, and Mr.. DAILY said:
"You have known me for three or
our years"
Yes, SIR"
Never doubted my sanity"
Never"
Never saw me otherwise than
sober?"
Never"
well you see my collar has faded?'
Yes"
you can see that ! am perspiring?'
Certainly"
Feel "A tritie warm YOURSELF"
Yes, indeed"
''Then you know it is hot. Every
body knows it's hot. People are alive
Now what reason have you for run
ming up to me and asking if it is hot
We are a little slow in Montana, per,
haps, but there are some things We
know. 1 bid you good-day."
