An Industrious Lawyer.

The ingenuity of lawyers in making
business for themselves is in course OF
illustration in reference case now in
progress down town. An estate Is IN
VOWED in the litigation. An unsuccess-
full contest of a will lett some Of the
litigants dissatisfied. This furnished
the lawyer his chance. He found that
about 125 pc rsons might be entitled to a
din into the estate If the will could De
broken. He addressed note to each
of them, proposing to attack the Will,
and rendering his services on contln-
gent arrangement. In this note he in
formed them that proceedings would
he begun, and that he would make de-
PENDANTS of all who did not join his
movement. With the apparent neces-
sity forced upon them Of accepting his
services without charge or hiring varl-
Gus lawyers to protect their interests,
they locked to him. When proceed
inps were started, he issued circulars OF
inflammation to his clients, and kept
them posted on every move. This IN
Vowed some trouble and expense, III
which the clients we're asked to assist.

tbe small contributions OF his 10 clients
are said to have helped the lawyer S
hank account an average of $500 per
month. AS he is very industrious ana
does his work earnestly, his clients are

ward solely on the success OF the SUIT,

Change tor the Passengers $40.

There is conductor on the Euclid
Avenue street car line, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, who played clever
trick on passenger the other morning.
which has probably taught him to have
lis fare ready hereafter when he boards
a car. The passenger lives away out at
the en- / of the line, and SO punctual that
he caught the same car every morning
About week ago he rendered $40 bill
in payment for his fare. The conductor
did not have so much money at the be-
ginning OF his trip and told the passen-
ger that he would pay the nickel out OF
his own pocket and he could return it
the following morning. The next morn
ing the business man again presented
$40 bill. Again the conductor paid the
fare for him.
This occurred four mornings in sue
cession. The fifth morning the same
$40 bill came around, but the conductor
was prepared. He drew heavy bag
from beneath the seat and handed it to
the passenger with the remark Here's
your change, sir. It's all right. I've
counted it." He had secured 1000
pennies the night before and kept
twenty-five of them for the fares he
paid for the business man. the bag
contained 975 copper coins. The pas
senger took the bag and rang for the car
to stop. He now rides on another car.

Curious Machines,

In the wire and roller mills at Dollar
Bay, Lake Superior, there is a machine
which is an object of curiosity. 1t is
the only one of its kind in the world,
and was invented by the superintendent
of the Tamarack & Osceola wire and
rolling mills. 1t is used for cutting out
wash boiler bottoms. There are other
machines for this purpose, but they all
work by hand, and this one works by
steam, enabling man to work up over
5000 pounds of copper in days work,
whereas he could only work up about
700 pounds by the old process. An
other curiosity is a pyramid Of sheet
copper highly polished and prepared
Is feet IN height. To the unso-
phisticated this pyramid will appear to
be one solid mass of copper. while
it really is only sheet, and is as
hollow as drum. Another is piece
of wire fve-siXteenths of an inch in
thickness and four miles long. 1t weighs
800 pounds and is all on one reel In
the wire department also can be seen q
machine of the SUPPLEMENTARY inven-
ton, which is also the only one of it's
kind in the world. This machine is
used for pointing the wire so that it can
be inserted into the die through which
it is to be drawn. The old style machine
required adjustment after one size of
wire had been pointed ii different size
OF point was desired. With the new
machine eight different sizes are obtain
able without the least adjustment. It's
marvel of ingenuity. Another
machine is the electric Welding machine,
which is used for welding the end of one
roll of wire to the end of another, and
so on ad libitum until the desired
length is obtained. The whole estab-
lshment is lighted by electricity, and
is as fine place for working as can be
found anywhere, it being comfortable in
the winter and sufficiently close to the
breeZes in summer.

She Is But Years OLD aud Weighs $50

A curious specimen of the genus
homo is Lydia Weterlainen. She lives
with her parents at the Tamarack cop

Dor, the Calumet & Hecla The deli
cate lass weighs $50 pounds and was
born in Finland, Russia, but a little
over four years ago. Her parents are of
medium size and good specimens of
laboring classes of Finland. They have
fair compilations, light hair, blue eyes,
rather heavy and stoical features, quiet
dispositions and no love for notoriety.
Miss Lydia has inheriated all these
qualities and promises to be an Amer
lean woman with no little weight anG in
t1uence. Any measure she disapproves
she ''sits upon" and it is Immediately

Afraid to Risk Ii,

Among the applicants for marriage
licenses who were before Judge Eller
yesterday, says the Omaha Morning
World-flerald, were Fred w. Randall
and BERTHE Brubaker, who had come up
from Beatrice to be joined in matri-
mony. They We're both up to the re-
quisite age, and Mr.. Walkup did not
hesitate to draw up the preliminary af-
fdavits. When he had dotted the last
and crossed the last the young wom-
an, who had apparently been buried in
deep thought, remarked:

"You don't?" cried the startled
bridegroom.
"No, guess not" and she started
out.
The young man followed her and
they held brief conversation among
the books and papers of the outer Of
fee, when Mr.. Walkup, with dreams of
and elopement in mind, suggested that
they might have the inner room for a
private discussion if they desired.
They entered and were for some time
engaged in earnest talk, the bridegroom
expectant arguing for all he was worth.
Finally the girl gave in and agreed to
carry the affair through and the judge
was called from the bench to fix it up
before she could again change her
mind.
"By thunder it was mighty lucky
and it was nearl y unlucky that you had
Judge around handy then" observed
the newly-marrled man, as he wiped
the PRECIPITATION from his brow.

which one member of a family living in
South Omaha was trying to get money
from another, and some vigorous family
truths We're being told. "Well, she had
been listening to the way they were tes-
tifying about family troubles and it had

1t was true. The dissension bred by
marriage in the South Omaha family

ly spoiled the hopes of another couple.
