Benjamin Brewster, afterwards at.
torney general Of the United States,
was some years ago the central figure
in a wonderfully dramatic scene in a
Philadelphia court. Mr. Brewster's
face, it will be remembered, was fright
fully Scared by an accident in his
youth. He was extremely sensitive Of
bis facial misfortune but never refer
red to it himself, nor did any Of his
thousands Of friends ever ask him it's
cause. The trial referred to was a Bit
terly contested affair, and Brewster at
every point got so much the best Of the
opposing counsel that his leading ad-
versary was in q white heat. In de-
uouncing the railroad company, this
lawyer, with his voice tremulous with
anger, exclaimed: This grasping
corporation is as dark, devious and
scarri6ed In Its methods as is the face
Of its chief attorney and henchman,
BENJAMIN Brewster!" This violent
outburst Of rage and cruel invective
was followed BY breathless stiffness
in the crowded courtroom that was
painful. Hundreds Of pitying eyes
were riveted on the poor SCARED face
OF Brewster, expecting to see him
spring from his chair and catch his
heartless adversary by the throat. Mr.
Brewster slowly arose and spoke some
thing like this 10 the court: "Your
honor, in all my career a. lawyer, I
have never dealt in personalities ; nor

A Good Snake Lie,

II once knew an old unreconstructed
rebel in Arkansas who had q colony OF
rattlesnakes that were trained to play
Dixie with their rattles to his intense
edificatiOn," said Col. J. s. Evans, Of
Meridian, Miss, at the Laclede. 1.-THE
man belonged to my regiment during
the war, and he had rattlesnake that
followed him all through the Louisiana
campaign, like a faithful dog. He
didn't join the army until near the
close Of the trouble, and he brought
his snake with him. When the reptile
got tired on the march, her master
would coil her around his neck and
trudge along with his pet until camp
was struck. At night he put the snake
in circle formed with hair rope, so
as to keep her from crawling around to
the dread Of other soldiers. During
battle that snake would dart in and out
between the ranks Of the fighting men
until she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the
air and rattle off the first few bars Of
Dixie with pronounced distinctness and
the most ecstatic delight. Her master
had, Of course taught her to do It.
After the war he took his snake back
to the Arkansas farm, and In q little
while her progeny was wonderful.
When I went to see him fifteen years
ago his barnyard was given over to
rattlesnakes, and on signal from him,
by ringing q bell, the reptiles would
dash to the center Of the yard, and the
clang Of Dixie that the swift movements
Of their tails produced was a. deafen-
ing a. 1t was inspiring. haven't told
this story before, because 1t sounds
preposterous, but ! am willing to make
afidavit to its truth, My friends farm
lies In what 10 known as 1aconia Circle
on the west side Of the river opposite
Concordia, Miss. He is dead now, and
his widow and children have rid the
place Of the band Of rebel snakes. ."-&.
