Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter to
a client in neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course of a
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case. In writ
ing this epistle he made use of letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter he signed himself
thus: John Langdon, Address ut supra. y
After waiting several days for the re-
ply, which did not come, he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let
ter. The next day he received a reply in
which the client said that he had an
swered the letter and addressed it to

y few years ago & widow and her
daughter were occupying a section IN 4

heard the two directors discussing a plan
Of consolidation whereby the stock of the
Missouri Pacific was bound to be greatly
enhanced IN value.

TO her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation Of the two directors preyed on her
mind. She revolved it over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time a 1900 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney. de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
to invest the s.. 600 in Missouri Pacific
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution Tor irony, laughed, but the
woman OF wealth persisted.

termed nerve" on the part of a quick

one person in 1000 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to,
and not one of q thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money, as the widow
had it, would have dared invest it.

be expanded until volumes were filed.

A Remedy for Round Shoulders.

Anybody can cure round shout
ders by a very simple system of
exercise. The round-shouldered
man should go into the open air
three or four times a day, let his
hands drop to his sides, and then,
while inhaling fresh air, raise him
self on his toes as high as he can.
The filling of the lungs pushes the
shoulders back to their normal
position, and if the practice is
steadily followed for a couple of
months, the worst pair of stoop
shoulders in time will become as
straight as a drill sergeant's.-Ex.
