Yes, right away" said the girl impul-
sively.
The young man thought that the girl had
gone daft, but she soon informed him the
reason for her action. On the following
dag was her seventeenth birthday. BY the

Marked hx the DEVILS Honf.

Henry Rice, an aged negro who resides.
or did not more than year ago, at Rolla,
this state, makes what is probably the
most remarkable claim that ever came
from the mouth of human being-viz,
that he has sold his soul to the devil and
that his satanic majesty sealed the bargain
by putting his trademark on the negro's
breast.
In support of this preposterous statement
Rice exhibits deep scar situated directly
over the heart, which appears to have been
burned deep into the flesh with branding
iron about the shape and size of the hoof Of
q 2-year- old heifer. This scar, the old ne
gro declares. is the print or mark of the
DEVILS hoof, and that it is memorial Of a
compact which he made with the king Of
The sulphurous regions away back in slav-
cry days.
According to the terms of the contract,
the negro is to have supernatural powers
over his race during the few fleeing days
that he remains tenant on earth. and that
when all is over his soul is to 20, not to
God who gave it, but to the devil, who has
mark ed it as his own. When Rice and the
devil had settled on the conditions outlined
above, the lessee of the negroes soul placed
his cloyen hoof over the heart OF the wicked
old African and left its indelible impress as
evidence of his future proprietary right to
burn the old man to his heart s content

PATENTS.


There was never a time in Il history of
our country " hen the demand for inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The ton
veniences of mankind in the factory and
work shop, the house hold, on the farm, an
in official life, require continual accessioDs
to the appurtenances and implements OF
each in order to save labor, time and pN
pensc. The political change in the admin
istration of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor who
being on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him from
quickly coDceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care
can not be exercised in choosing a compel
ent and tklliul attorney to prepare and
prosecute sn application for patent. Vslu-
able interests have been lost and destroyed
in innumerable instances by the employ
meht of incompetent counsel, and espec-
tally is this advice applicable to those
who adopt the "No patent, no pay"
system. Inventors who cntrust their
business to this class Of attorneys do so ut
imminent risk, as the breadth and strength
Of the patent is nc yer considered in view Of
a quick endeavor to get an allowance and
obtain the fee tbeu due. THE PRESS

ALife For q billiard Ball.

The globe of ivory which is knocked
about a table in u anne of billiards costs,
if of good quality. at least 81. This repre-
sents its cost in money. There is. how
ever, IA far more important and formidable
element in the price which has been paid
for it. The billiard ball of pure ivory rep
resents, as it lies white and glistening upon
the cloth, an expenditure of human life
blood as well as of money. Elephants
tusks are brought down to the African
coast by caravans, generally in charge of
Arabs, which have been trading in the i'll
terror Very often they have picked up
slaves as we'll as ivory. But this phase OF
the matter may he left out Of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory TO the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and the
fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely to have
caused the death of 10 men altogether.
Such casualties are the rule in elephant
hunting rather than the exception. An
average tusk does not furnish more than
enough material for two good billiard balls.
Of course, the remainder Of the ivory in
each tusk is made use of in other ways. A
perfectly cut billiard ball requires special
quality, or so called nerve" which Ia found
only in one part of the tusk. The chances
are that billiard ball of the first quality
has cost at least one human life.-Million.

This is how Tom Reed became a lawyer:
He gave up school teaching, and thinking
that young man would have a better
chance out west he went to California.
Judge Wallace, afterward chief justice OF
California, examined Reed for admission to
the bar. 1t was in 1868, during the civil
war, when the legal tender act was much
discussed in California, that Wallace,
whose office adjoined the one where Reed
was studying, happened in one day and
said: Mr.. Reed, | understand that you
want to be admitted to the bar. Have you
studied law
YES, sir. studied law in Maine while
teaching
We'll, said Wallace, Il have one qles-
ton to ask. Is the legal tender act consti-
tutionalS"
Yes" said Reed.
You shall be admitted to the bar" said
Wallace.
Tom Bodley, a deputy sheriff who had
legal aspirations, was asked the same qucs-
ton, and he said No"
I'VE will admit you both, for anybody
who can answer ofhand question like
that ought to practice law in this country"
