A Lawyers Fat Fee.

Not long ago Morris Butler, son Of John
". Butler, who had just arrived home
from an evening party at o'clock in the
morning, heard 4 carriage drive up TO
the house, and moment later answered
a ring at the door bell. A young man
ofhandsome face and energetic manner,
blurted out, without ceremony
"What States can cousins legally marry
in"
81 don't know" said Mr.. Butler, as
soon as he could recover from the effects
Of his visitors bluutness, "but will ask
father"
He went up stairs and, after much
knocking aroused his father.
Father" said he, "what States can
cousins legally marry in 2"
Kansas was the single word in re-
sponse, between what sounded suspiei-
ously ike snores.
Mr.. Butler returned down stairs.
"Well, what does he say?" asked the
visitor.
Kansas" replied young Mr. Butler,
laconically.
Thank you :" The door was closed
and the young visitor was gone.
Nothing further was thought ofthe in
cident until yesterdays mail brought
Mr.. Butler a certified check for 500 for
illegal advice from his hitherto un-
known client This is probably the
highest rate per word ever paid for legal
advice. 1t divides into 500 per syllable

That Tea Gown.

He seemed satisfied with himself and
at peace with all the world when he sat
down TO his dinner.
"Been shopping to day ?" he asked.
His wife nodded.
II had nothing else TO do" she said.
"Did you see anything you wanted ?"
he asked.
She nodded again.

said.
"Have the bill sent to me- ne said
promptly. ~My wife can have anything
l can give her."
"Really ?" she asked, but there was lit
tie animation in the tone.
"0f course" he replied. "HaveI ever
been niggardly ?"
She shook her head.

said, "but--
"But what ?" he asked. Haven't
been generous ever since my business

"Yes," she replied.
Haven't given you everything you
wanted that money could buy ?"
You haven't stinted me in anything -
she returned.
"And haven't worked hard to make
the money ?"
'Yes" she said, you've worked very
hard. Are you going to the Office to-
night"
"Yes, I've got little business that I
must finish up. guess III make enough
on it to pay for that tea gown"
"I'l go without the tea gown, Harry"
she said quickly.
He laid down his knife and fork and
looked at her in surprise.
"Why, Jessie |" he exclaimed. "You
can have it just as well as not. /"
She suddenly pushed aside her plate
and asked
"Why did marry YOU, Harry ?"
"Why, suppose, because"
81 had a good home,r she interrupted.
'Yes, of course"
"And my father was well off"
"Yes" He was plainly surprised.
"And what have YOU given me?" she
asked, looking at him earnestly. Then,
before he could reply, she answered her
own question. "a home and money,
Harry, and o, such a lonesome feeling
some evenings You seem to think"
She hesitated and then added: II don't
want the gown really, l don't. I'd
rather"

| INC story Of Kupp,s Escape

Ialwayslike to tell Kupp's story to my
friends, for it reviTes old memories, and
gives me great deal of quiet satisfsc-
ton.
Kupp was lieutenant in the eighty
eighth Pennsylvania volunteers during
the war and it was his misfortune to be
captured in Virginia and subsequently to
be landed in Libby prison.
He was tall, lank, quiet young man,
very fond of whiting. He was eaptur-
ed in the summer Of 1868. 50 that by the
the time February, 1864. came around,
his blue uniform was in rags.
The Confederates would not allow the
blue uniform to come through under flag
Of truce, but for awhile they permitted
friends in the north to send through 9TH
er clothes, and in this way Kupp got 8
suit Of 8 butternut color from friends in
Berks county.
When be put on this dress his CON-
rades laughed at him and assured him
that he looked like q North Carolina
tarheel."
And it was no doubt this that gave
him the suggestion on which he worked
Every morning a sergeant and detail
came in to count the prisoners, which
being done, they would march down to
Commander Turner's office and thence
to their own quarters near by.
To the great surprise Of all who saw
him. Kupp fell in behind the guards one
morning and marched down the steps
leading from the prison.
Instead OF following the guards out he
remained in Turner's Office till that OIL
Ger saw him; and demanded
Who the devil are you, sir ?"
I'm Jake Smith, of the Fo'ty-ninth
Moth Caliny," was the reply.
And what brought you in here"
Came to see the Yanks," said the i'm.
perturbable Kupp.
To see the 1snks?"
ayes, sah."
"D- you, if you want to see the fanks

I'll kicS you out :" roared Turner.
Telling Turner TO go to blazes with his
old prison, Kupp walked AWAY Yam

Fl. Smith. Ark, Jan. ls.-Deputy United
States Marshal Liggelt has just come in
from the northern part of the State, where
he has been chasing moonshiners, and re-
ports double lynching which occurred in
the mountains.
Peter Baker, a farmer, was found murder
ed in his house. His wife and man named
Johnson LEFT the country, but both returned
few days ago. The neighbors suspected
them of putting Baker out of the way, and
an assault was at once made on the house

together, back to back, and then hanged to
the same limb with the same rope until
they were dead.

was held in the vicinity OF Homer, this
State, on Friday. Two parties, aggregatine
fifty men, went out in the morning. All
had to have their game in by o'clock in
the evening, and most Of the men started in
quest Of "Brer Rabbit" before daylight.
And they gathered them in from highways
and hedges" for when taecount was made
in the evening one party had securd 63S rab-
bits. while the other had slain 525, making a

The Farm.
rraErAnIE eARpENING.

VEGETABLE GARDENING
Little work Of importance can be done
in either the kitchen or market garden
during January. Stored crops need at
tention- Vegetables in pits and trenches
should have sufficient covering to pre-
vent injury from frost. If vegetables are
stored in the cellar yentiIate it whenever
the weather viii allow. Cabbage and
other plants in cold frames need daily
ventilation. and when the temperature is
mild enough the sashes may be removed
altogether. If the plants are frozen
when the snow falls it may be allowed
to remain on the sashes, but otherwise it
should be cleared off.
Preparations should now be made for
spring operations. Arrange for neces-
sary manures and fertilizers, also for
tools and implements. It is now in
order to provide boxes for starting seeds
in the kitchen windows, and fats fer use
in hotbeds, as well as to collect bean
poles and pea brush. An essential item
is to procure good seeds for spring plant
ing-such as are true to name and viii
germinate-and the best way to do this
is to ger the catalogue of.some reputable
dealer, make 8 careful selection from
well tested varieties, and then order
early.
APPLE BLOSSOMS IN WINTER
Perhaps every one does not know
how easily fresh apple blossoms can be
had in winter Get the ends of branches
with plumb flower buds and place them
in water in a warm, sunny window, and
they will soon bloom. No doubt many
other kinds of trees and shrubs viii give
as good satisfaction-F Fick's Magazine
TO KEEP BUTTER.
Ifholes are made in a tub of butter
with round clean stick, and these holes
filed with brine so strong that an egg
will float in it, thetop of the butter COW
cred with a clean cloth soaked in the
brine and the tub keep in cool place,
the butter should keep sweet for
months.
A COMMON MISTAKE.
One of the big mistakes often made by
gardeners and fruit growers, and ordina-
~ farmers as well, is to put up articles Of
different sizes and qualities in one and
the same package. Fruit growers now
begin to use the new-fangled "assorters"
or graders" for the purpose of having
plums, peaches. etc, all of one sizein one
package; and this pays well. Potato
growers, uuion growers, etc, should make
use OF similar devices just as much. 1t
will pay them just as well. In punching
radishes, beets, carrots, etc, the specimens
in one bunch should always be as near
alike as they can be. Common honesty
ofcourse, demands that We put same grade
of any article in the middle and bottom
Of package that we put on top, facing
with a few fine specimens only being
permissible and commendable.-Fdrm
