A Lawyers Way of Putting the Case.

| There was in the early days of Lincoln 8
| time in Illinois a curious character who
presided at the bar. His name have for
gotten, but remember my fathers charac-
teriZing him, in Lord Chesterfield's phrase,
as dizziness laundering upon vivacities.
In certain case in which this person acted
as counsel for the plaintiff, five dollar
note had been stolen. The fact was proved
| beyond question. The point at issue finally
| was one of grand or petit larceny. The
| counsel for the defendant made the ingen-
ious plea that the bill was an Indiana bill
and worth S4o5, and therefore was below
the limit of petit larceny, five dollars being
that limit
The jury seemed quite impressed by the
argument, when the counsel for the plain
tiff arose and in the peculiar drawl and
nasal information characteristic of his speech
said: Gentlemen of the jury, if any one Of
you was to take that Indiany five dollar
bill to market, there's not butcher there
that would not be glad TO take it at pa -a-ar
If you was to go to any of the stores on the
square here, they'd be willing and more n
willing to take it at pa-a-ar, but this
mean, COMPOUNDED sneak couldn't afford
to steal it at pa-a-ar." The jury rendered
verdict of guilty of grand larceny

Colonel John Hay tells an interesting
story that he vouches for as trIe. 1t is
well known that great publishing houses
accumulate manuscripts for future use
and file them away III vaults until needed
A friend of the coionels wrote story
called 1.-The Brazen ARdroid :" locating the
scene of the story in England in the time
of Roger Bacon. The authors name was
William D. O'Connor, who for years lived
in Washington. The story was a long one
and ran through three numbers Of the
magazine when published in 1881. The
singular part of the incident is that the
story was written and accepted by The At
lantic Monthly in 1861 and paid for.
Month after month and year after year
Mr.. O'Connor watched the magazine for
the publication of his story and it finally
did appear within a short time after his
death, more than thirty years after it was
accepted. Post.

THE REGENssURG BRIDGE.
An Interesting Medieval Legend OF
Structure Over the Danube.

Few towns, fancy, combine within their
walls SO many buildings of interest and so
many memories dear to mankind as Re-
gensburg. We sat down upon the pave
ment in the market place 20 muse OF these
things, cur backs to a church wall and our
hats full OF freshly picked straw berries
from the basket of an equally fresh peas
ant lassie, who delighted in seeing US eat
her fruit. But the monument most inter
esting to a canoeist is the stone bridge,
claimed by Regensbursers to be the STRONG.
est in the world
AT any rate. the span between the piers
is no wider than the buttresses. and the
river PUSHES through so turbuiently as TO
create very risky looking whirlpools and
rapids below. The engineer troops of In
golstaAt have TO take pilots when they pass
this town. and we were strongly urged 10 do
the same, but we had no room and copse-
quently determined TO try for ourselves.
We succeeded by choosing the right hand
arch, and our success was in spite of the
devil. for his share in its construction was
very great, SIS every Danube sailor will at
test.
The story runs that while the cathedral
was in course of cOnSL -uction the chief
architect intruSted To a very clever appren-
tice the task of making this bridge. The
young man felt 50 confident that he offered
TO span the Danube before his master had
finished the cathedral Bat he finally
found that he had undertaken too much.
tor the sacred pile went up with great
steadiness. while the bridge moved with
great difficulty. The youngster finally
vented his announcement in blasphenous
wishes that the devil might take over the
job
No sooner spoken than a venerable monk
appeared and offered 70 do the work In
mis- sandals were cloren hoots and a tail

Ages of Birds.

Among birds, the swan lives to be the
oldest, in extreme cases reaching 800 years;
the falcon has been known to live l62 years.
An eagle died in 1919 which had been
caught 104 years before and was then quite
old. A white headed vulture. which was
caught III l106, died in the aviary at Nhon-
brun, near Vienna. in 1924. Parrots live
more than century. Water birds have a
long life, exceeding that of several genera
tions of men. Ravens also live over hun
dred years.
In captivity magpies live from 20 to Is
years, and still longer in freedom. The
common hen attains the age of from Is TO
20 years Doves live 10 years, and the lit
tie singing birds from s to Il years. The

Just previous to the banquet the coun-
Gil of administration met and transacted
the usual routine of business. A COM
mittee of four was appointed to examine
the various places proposed in which to
hold the reunion next fall, and to submit
their report or recommendations by mail
to department headquarters at once for APP
proval, rejection or amendment. The
local Wichita committee reported that
they had been unable to raise the necessary
funds to carry out the plans necessary for
holding the reunion, and asked that two
weeks more be given them. If they are
unsuccessful by that time no reunion Will
be held in Wichita. If the Wichita COM
mittee are unable at the end of two weeks
to make arrangements for the reunion the
council will submit proposition to
Topeka which it is understood will be ac-
copied, as the citizens of the state capt.
are anxious to humiliate Wichita by TAX
ing such an important matter away
from it.

Shall We Ia, the seed of tn. sunaower4

In return for the corn which Uncle
Sam proposes to teach the Russians how
10 eat, ii is seriously suggested that we
shall adopt few hints from them re
speeding the usefulness of the sunhower.
There are regions III the west which
might be most profitably utilized for the
cultivation of tins plant, which mas been
found 50 valuable for food purposes IN
the empire Of the cZsr that 20. 900 acres
in that country are annually planted
with il. Two kinds there are chiefly
one which bears small seeds, used for
making oil. while the other produces
big seeds. which are consumed in enor-
mons quantities by the common people
in the same way that PEANUTS are eaten
here. except that they are devoured raw.

followed by coCA and hen, was set a.
large, and crossed the first arch of the
bridge. At the same time a dreadful noise
was heard under the piers. The mangled
remains of the three animals flew in all
directions, and the devil was seen to dis
appear, screaming, Cheated. cheated of
my. fee" The monks now sprinkled holy
water on the bridge, and the happy people
rejoiced.
The second arch of the Regensburg
Bridge, as if to prove the legend, is still
savagely bent upon destroying the boat
man venturing beneath it; and as we had
no desire to measure the strength of our
paddle with that of the DEVILS pitchfork,
we carefully avoided it, and advise all
others to do the same.-Poultney Bigelow
