La,cyers Who Lost Their Fees.

Speaking of lawyers courtroom quar-
rels, and the friendliness which they dis
play afterwards outside the courtroom,
] am always reminded of the experience
of S. F. Nuckolls, groceryman here in
the early days and the first delegate TO
congress from this territory. There ex-
isted very bitter feud between Nuckolls
and another man, and the matter got in'o
court. One of the men retained A. j.
Poppleton and the other j. M. Wool
worth, both of Omaha. Each client in
structed his lawyer to rake the other
party to the suit over the Goals in the
liveliest possible manner. Nuckolls, in
telling the story, said:
"When my lawyer got up settled
comfortably back in my seat ready to
enjoy myself thoroughly. As my lawyer
warmed to his work he gave my oppo-
nent such tongue lashing that he SEEM
ed to fay him alive. When the lawyer
sat down | thought il was proved TO the
satisfaction of everybody that the other
fellow was the meanest skunk that ever
infested the EARTH When the opposing
lawyer got up | wondered what he could
have to say. | didn't have long to wait.
He sailed into me and belted me all over
the earth. Before he got half way thro'

lawyers had as much personal feeling in
matters as their clients had. ! was there
fore very much surprised to see Popple-
ton hand note across the table to Wool
worth, who opened and read it and then
smiled back. This nCte he twisted up
and threw under the table. had the
greatest curiosity in the world TO find out
what was in it and after court adjourned

Thirty-fve of the forty nine States and
Territories in the Union have accepted the
building sites assigned them on the Worlds
Exposition grounds at Chicago, and have
submitted to the construction bureau for
approval the plans of the buildings they
propose to erect. Nearly ali the others, it
ia known, are about ready to take like ac-
ton. Every State and Territory, with per-
haps three exceptions, will erect building.
Quite number of these buildings will be
reproductions of historic structures such as
Independence Hall, Washington's Mt. Yer

They had been married for several years,

huence. One evening Joe settled himself
back in his chair with sclfsatisfied air
and said Things have changed some since
we were married, haven't they, Mary ?" "a
great deal, joe" she replied quietly. "The
first year was pretty hard" he went on
"T.didn't make any more than enough to
pull us through. But told you then I'd

than you are now." "You are very kind,
Joe" said Mary, with faint smile; "never-
theless, l've sometimes wondered if you quite
understood the clergyman who married u" "
"Why, what have l dOne?" he asked sud-
denly, Strengthening up in his chair. Moth

The chief motive power for the ma
chinery at the Worlds Exposition will
be supplied by gigantic engine, to be
furnished free to the Exposition by the
E.P. Allis Company, of Milwaukee. The
engine will be furnished as part of the
company's exhibit, upon special con-
tract providing that it shall be used for
the motive power, and that no other en-
CINE of equal size shall be exhibited 1t
will be an engine of the quadruple ex-
pansion type, and will be of between B.
900 and 1000 horse power. Compared
with this engine the big Corliss that was
exhibited at the Centennial exposition Is
almost dwarf. In 1876 the Corliss was
considered one of the wonders of the ex-
position, but its builder rated it at only
400 horse power, or less than half OF
the one being built by the Allis comPa-
nv. The Allis exhibit represents an out

Remarkable Training of the Eye.

The capacity of the human eye for spe-

There is no better food for horses than
beans. They contain more nourishment
than oats; and in Spain, Italy and in some
parts of Austria horses are fed on beans reg
ularlv. as we feed our stock on corn. The
use of beans for horses and cattle produces
a beautiful, soft, sleek coat the animals
like the beans better than they do any other
form of diet, can do more work and gain
more flesh while doing it than if fed on any
other sort of food.

All the world laughs, though The ma
tions have different ways OF showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the European
or American. 1t is oftener a litter than
a genuine outburst of merriment. There
is little character or force in it. AS for
the Arabian laugh, we hear little of its
hilarious ring through the ages Of mirth
in the Old World. The Arab is general
ly stolid fellow, who must either see
good reasons for laugh, or be surprised
into it. In Persia a man who laughs is
considered eheminate, but free license is
given to female merriment.
One reads of the grave Turk" and
the sober Egyptian" but it is not re-
corded that they have never moments of
mirth, when the fez bobs or the veil
shakes under the pressure Of some partic-
ularly good thing" In Mahomet itself,
Christian writers have noted cordiality
and locoseness, and they say there is a
good ringing laugh in the prophet with
all his seriousness.
An American traveller in Europe re.
marks the Italian laugh as languid but
musical, the German as deliberate, the
French as spasmodic and uncertain, the
upper class English as guarded and not
always genuine, the lower class English
as explosive, the Scotch of all classes as
hearty, and the Irish as rollickiDg.

Most Americans who have heard the rattle
snakes rattle will recognize the truth of the
description given by writer in the April
Quarterly Reriew that it is like the sound
which would be produced by the rattling of
peas in paper bag This represents the
slightuess of the sound. We are accustOm-
ed to pictorial representations in which the
animal is made to look very angry and en-
ergetc, the tail erect in manner to sug-
gest loud alarm. Accordingly when one
hears it for the first time, one is surprised
to find the noise so slight. The sound, in
stead of being q rattle, is rather a tinkle,
and it perhaps has rather more metallic
character than the notion of the shaking of
peas in n paper bag would represent. But
slight as the sound is, the person who has
never met one of these reptiles before, and
who, without seeing the snake, hears, for
the first time, among the mountain rocks or
prairie grass, its delicate, yet wonderfully
distinct warming, knows instantly what and
who his neighbor is.

The mobiles of the Ben Hur Temple

they had their big time. Then they

The Silver Dollar Woman.

From the Boston Herald.
The new coins showing Miss Anna
l.. Williams pretty profile as Liberty
are an improvement on the leash"
which has worn out our pocket-boo
for so many years, but there is still
something to be desired. Before the
lines of this new Liberty are quite
obliterated by circulation would it
not be we'll for the designers and
officials who look after the coinage
of this young country just to decide
on q model Tor beauty, have her
idealized and then cast the die for
all time? Although Miss Williams
Is dou btless handsome woman, there
is no good reason why the designer
should have perpetrated her with q
swollen jaw, and sent her down to
posterity as she appears on the new
half dollar, for instance. The Graeco
American type is a divine mingling
of the classic and affectionate, but
perfect regularity of feature, as illus.
trated by Greek art, is not lovely in
the latter sense, save in one solitary
instance-The Venus of Milo, who
has profile the world loves to kiss.
The other day chance brought me in
prosaic electric car beside girl
whose profile was the most beautiful
example of biquant delicacy and re-
gularity possible to conceive. Chances
were stslen at her from time to time,
and the artistic spirit which animates
even the.average Bostonian had begun
to boil with admiration, when just at
that moment she turned her front
face and the ideal vision melted into
thin air. She was actually ordinary.
A sculptor sould have told what was
the matter with the proportions, but
1t only proved to the lsyman's mind
that this thing we call beauty exists
merely in fractions, and the perfect
whole Is but dream of genius aft, r
supping full on many models. Neve =.
theless, could this lovely profile,
which Is q possession In itself, be
given to the designers Of our Ameri-
Liberty, what a boon 1t would be to
spend-thrifts. Instead of parting
with their "change" it might then
be saved for the sake of the girl who
adorned il.
