Webster's Fee.

Hon. Josiah Quincy was at one time
conversing with Daniel Webster upon
the Importance of doing even the
smallest thing thoroughly and well,
when the great man related an Incl
dent concerning petty insurance case
which was brought to him while a
young lawyer in Portsmouth. The
fee promised was only $40, yet TO do
his client full justice Webster found
he must journey to Boston and con-
suit the law library. This involved
an expense above the amount of the
fee, but, after hesitating little he de-
cided to go to Boston and consult the
authorities, let the cost be what it
might. He gained the CAGE.
Years after this, Webster was pass
ing through the city of New York.
An important insurance case was to
be tried that day, and one of the coun-
Gil had been suddenly prostrated by
illness. Money was no object, and
Webster was asked to name his terms
and conduct the case.
at is preposterous," he said, "to ex-
pect me to prepare a legal argument
at few hours notice."
But when they insisted that he
should look at the papers he consent
ed. 1t was Ills old 500 case over
again, and having remarkable mem.
ory, he had all the authorities in hil
mind and won the suit. The Court
knew he had no time for preparation
and was astonished at the skill will
which he handled the case.
$50 you see," said Webster, as hi
concluded, II was handsomely paiG
both in fame and money for that jour,
ney to Boston," and the moral is tha
good work is rewarded in the end
though, to be sure, ones own self.

Timely Items.

Pumice stone is one of the best
things to use in removing stains of
any kind from the hands.
An apple poultice is said to be so
good thing for sore eyes that it is
used regularly in French hospitals,
but any poultice is dangerous for a
non-professional to apply to the eye.
Rinsing all sorts of vessels and uten-
sils with charcoal powder is a good
way to rid them of old smells that
seem to defy the sand and water
securing.
Gold and silver jewelry may be
thoroughly cleaned by a strong solu-
ton of ammonia-a teaspoonful to a
cup of water.
Dirt on wall paper can be most
readily removed by rubbing over il
lightly lump of dough made of the
coarsest flour, and but little sitter
than for a pudding. Stale bread is
often used for this purpose, but it is
not so valuable as the dough, as the
latter leaves no crumbs.

Col. John P. Salyer Wins.

The State Central Committee met
at Frankfort Wednesday to settle the
contest between John p. Salyer, OF

"The Committee, after mature de-
liberation, unanimously decides that

and was fairly and legally nominated
by said convention as the Democratic
nominee for Senator in the Thirty
fourth district, and is the nominee of
the party for Senator in said district,
and entitled TO the support of all the
Democrats in said district; and the
committee earnestly request all Demo
Gratis in the counties of Breathitt,
Wolfe, Morgan, owsley and Magofin

Twenty clerks In store, twenty
hands in a printing Office, twenty
apprentices in ship-yard, twenty
young men in a village--all want to-
get along in the world, and expect to
do so. One of the clerks will become
partner, and make fortune; one
of the compositors viii own news
paper, and become an influential citi-
zen; one of the apprentices win be-
come a master-builder; one of The
yonng villagers will own handsome
farm, and live like patriarch--but
which one is the lucky Individual? !?
Lucky Therei no luck about it. The
thing is almost as certain as the rule of
three. The young fellow who will
distance his competitors is he who
masters his business, who preserves
his integrity, who lives cleanly and
purely, who devotes his leisure to the
acquisition of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and who
saves spare money. There are some
ways to fortune shorter than this old
dusty highway but the staunch man
of the community, the man who
achieves something really worth hav-
ing--good fortune, good name, se-
rene old age-goes in this hard,
duty road.
Keep strict account of both profits
and expenses; be careful to keep the
first in advance Of the last until the
point of independence is reached, and
you will most certainly avoid the
dreadful fate heretofore SO common
to nine .tenths of the foolish voyagers
upon the uncertain sea of business.
Let your industry never grow
weary; keep your faithful servant,
economy, ever on guard, and, should
no unforeseen disaster overwhelm you,
your voyage will most surely be
successful one.-Home and Farm.

with six ,bullet-hOles through his

The small farmer will be greater
factor in our agriculture during the
next generation than he has been In
the past. We are developing wide
area of lands which viii be cultivated
by irrigation. Irrigated land is too
valuable to handle carelesslysor to de-

which will make a large money return

upon these lands, and, taking few
acres each, make a garden farm of

MRS. TEDFORD'S MARES TAIL.
The Lady Brought the Animals
Couture in Bundle.
The Result of Arizona Charities Sue
cess as a Wild Wester.
Two East Los Angeles Boys Have q Mar
row Escape from sojourn at the
twenty-five Dollars Month
Reform school.

A woebegone looking woman sat in
Justice Austin's court yesterday waiting
for the case OF the People va. W. Pabst
and Charles Koebele to be called.
The lady held in her lap a large
bundle of black horsehair, which for
merly adorned the caudal appendage of
q once valuable bay mare.
HERALD, Willie Pabst and Charlie
Koebele were arrested on charge of
malicious mischief, in that they had
plucked the hair from the tail OF Mrs.
Tedford's bay mare.
1t appears that the young desper-
ADDE'S, envious of the fame which at
tended Arizona Charlie during his Wild
West show in this city, determined to
60 into the lassoing business them
selves. In their rambles to and fro
Charles and William saw and cast
greedy eyes upon the flowing tail of
Mrs. Tedford's bay mare; what mate
rial could better serve their purpose
than the long flowing tresses which
actually swept the ground. To own
lasso made OF such hair would be to
have the envy of every other boy for
miles around. So in secret the diabol
ical plot was Matched. A thoughtless
boy might have taken pair of shears
and stripped the tail at one fell swoop;
not so William and Charles.
Daily visits were paid to the bay mare
with the flowing locks, and each time the
youths departed with a little souvenir
in the shape of few coveted hairs.
Every morning the bay mare would
screw her neck around to see how much
tsil she had left, and wonder what she
should do to keep the flies off, and how
long it would be before the tail became
baldheaded. She would have sat upon
it if she had thought of it, but that
idea did not occur to her.
In course of time, however, Mrs. Ted
ford, who had been wondering where
the Hades her horses tail had vanished
to, caught the youthful sinners in fla
granite delictu. Yesterday they APP
peared for trial.
Judging from their own testimony,
there was fatal attraction surrounding
the tail of that bay mare. Every morn
ing as they passed along the mare would
hang her tail over the hedge, and the
youths would unconsciously take hair
with her as they passed along. At
least this is what they said, and there is
no reason to diebelieve them, for when
Justice Austin asked Willie where he
would go if he told lie, Willie replied,
''To the devil, sure"
Mrs. Tedford said she could not sell a
horse without the proper amount Of hair
on its tail, and she also stated that the
boys had worried her in other ways con-
siderably. The bundle of horsehair she
held represented what was at one time
the finest tail of hair in the county.
Justice Austin thought that as the
boys had no apparent malice towards
the owner of the horse, that the charge
OF malicious mischief could not hold,
and he sent Willie and Charlie home
with the assurance that If they con-
'tinued in the ways of darkness they
would be sent to the reform school.
