YOUNG LAWYERS srRATAoEM.
1t Might Have Worked but for an Unex-
pected Incident.

1t Might Have Worked but for an Unex-
pected Incident.
The following story is told Of
Timothy Coffin, who was for long
time Judge of the New Bedford Dis
trlct: When very young man he
was retained In a case OF sufficient
Importance to bring out almost every
resident Of the town, SO that the lit
tie New Bedford Court House was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant Although
1t was his first attempt Ia open court,
he had made little or no preparation,
thinking that ne could get through
somehow or other when the time
came. Thus, when the counsel for
the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised,
and no less agltated, to see the big
crowd and realize the wide public in
terest in the trial at hand. He saw
that he looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had made not even slight
preparation. To lose the case meant
the loss OF hoped-for reputation.
Could he afford to commit this blum
der by displaying his ignorance Of
the case? How could he get out Of
1t? These were few of the ques-
tions that are known to have flashed
through the young lawyers head, for
afterward he himself told Of the aw-
full perplexity Of the hour. Being a
shrewd inventor, he devised plan.
AS soon as the court had been called
to order and the crier had said his
little say, he arose and asked for a
postponement of the trial, ON the
ground that he had just received a
telegram announcing the sudden and
fatal illness Of his mother, who resid-
ed at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words Of this ap-
peal proceeded from the lips of young
Coffin when an elderly woman quietly
arose In the balcony Of the court
room and gave utterance to these
words:
Timothy, Timothy, how many
times have l chastised thee for ly-
ing?"
Timothy recognized the sound OF
that voice only too well. 1t was that
of his mother. This being Timothy's
first public case, the old lady had Sc
cretly come up to New Bedford to
see how we'll her son would do. Her
presence was, of course, totally I'M
known to him. The further develop
ments need not be recorded here.
Suffice it to say that Timothy Coffin
in after years made sure that his ex-
cuses would not be thrown back at
him by any member Of his own fam
ily.-BOSton Herald.

This Incident Was Actually witnessed by
the Writer.

This Incident Was Actually witnessed by
the Writer.
He was a ycritable tramp. His
trousers were spattered with mud.
and both they and his coat were that
nondescript color which only long ex-
posture to the weather can give. The
spattered hat he wore, pulled well
down over his eyes, concealed the
half discouraged, half defiant ex-
preston of his face. AS he slouched
along in aimless fashion his clumsy,
broken shoes clattered on the pave
ment.
Years ago he had recklessly left
home and since then he had only
heard news from the old place once.
That was a few days past, when he
had read of his mothers death in the
papers. He was ashamed to go back
then, though he longed to see her
face once more.
He did not mean to be gone so
long. But he had started out to seek
his fortune, and he had found it.
Only it was not good fortune. All
his worldly possessions now consisted
Of a nickel, lying in the pocket Of his
vest. Just sufficient to buy "free
lunch," and he was hungry enough to
spend it. He looked up as he neared
the corner, searching for a favorable
place to invest the coin.
Coming down the avenue toward
him was an old beggar woman. She
hobbled along slowly, leaning on a
cane for the suppC TT which her trem-
bling limbs could not give. Her
weak eyes peered anxiously into the
faces Of passers-by in a vain appeal for
help, and her wrinkled hand shook
as she held it out for aims. AS she
reached the corner a cold wind blow
ing through the street made her
shiver and pull her thin shawl more
closely about her shoulders.
This motion attracted the tramp's
attention, and he glanced at her as
she passed, though she did not look
at him.
"Poor old soul he muttered;
that's hard lines" He paused in
his walk, looked at the slowly re-
treating figure, hesitated and turned
back. The woman stared in aston
ishment as he touched her on her
shoulder. Fumbling in the pocket
of his tattered vest he pulled out a
coin. This he placed In her hand
without word, and not even wait
ing for the fervent "God bless you!"
he shuffled away and was lost to view
in the crowd. New York Press.

puts his thermometer In your mouth,
dnds your temperature l04 In the
shade, your pulse going at the rate OF
two miles and three laps to the sec
ond. He orders you to stay In bed
and gives you medicine that ia so
strong and sour that simply setting
the bottle on the clock shelf stopped
the clock. He will tell your wife that
she may give you warm drinks and
try to get you to sweat, and take his
leave. Now all wives are family doc
tors by right Of their position In the
house, and as you have gone to sleep,
delirious and exhausted, she begins
her treatment by putting a BELLA
donna plaster across your lunas, a
faxseed poultice on one side and a
mustard poultice on the other, hot
fatiron and a jug Of hot water to
your feet, and a sack Of boiled corn In
the ear, piping hot, to your back.
You sleep and dream Of being away
to the far North in search o. the
north pole, or out In the center of
some beautiful sheet of water like
Lake Superior, or the lawn tennis
skating-rink, helpless and alone, with
the ice breaking all around you, and
you slowly sinking. You finally
awake, burnt, blistered, and baked.
The doctor calls, finds your tempera-
ture about eighty degrees at the
north side of the house and your pulse
normal, not needing pace-maker.
He pronounces YOU better, convalesc-
ing. Orders beef tea, chicken soup,
Cruel and toast as diet. You take
the big rocking-chair exhausted,
tired, discouraged and ugly; you feel
like licking your wife, kicking the
dog, and breaking up the furniture,
but you won't do anything but sit
there, day after day, weak, helpless
and tired.

A Rare Egg.

The sale in London Of an egg Of
the extinct giant bird Epyornis at a
high price was lately noted. The
Epyornis was, in reality, the fabu-
lous Roc, of Sinbad the Sailor, in
ARABIAN Nights" 1t has been
brought to London by Mr.. ]. Proc
tor, OF Tamatave, in Madagascar. 1t
was discovered by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwest coast
OF Madagascar. The egg, which is
Whitley brown in color and unbroken,
is fine specimen, thirty-three and a
half inches by twenty-eight inches,
and an even higher value is placed
upon 1t than upon. the egg of the
great aux, which lived withinl the
memory of man. The immense pro-
portions Of the egg are better dem
onstrated by compariso, with the
eggs OF the ostrich and crocodile. An
ostrich egg Is about seventeen inches
by fifteen inches, and the contents OF
six such are only equal to one egg of
the Epyornis The measurements of
the egg OF the crocodile are normally
nine inches by six and half inches.
1t would require the contents of six
teen and half emu eggs to equal the
contents of this great egg, or las eggs
of the homely fowl, or 30, OF the
humming bird.

Cost OF British Defenses.

the British empire spends as a
rule upon defense from $3.50, 900, 900
to $3.50, 900, 900 year, of which the
military expenditure of India, with
the indirect expenditure for the sake
of India on mobile land forces at
home, forms the largest item. Almost
the whole of this vast sum Is expend-
ed out Of British loans or taxes under
the control of the Parliament OF the
United Kingdom, and out of Indian
taxes under the direct control Of the
House Of Commons through the Sec
Ietary of State, who Is a member Of
the government Of the day. This ex-
penditure, although vast, although
open to the reproach that II does not
do more than maintain feet slight
ly superior to that OF France, and an
army OF very small numbers, Is a
fieabite as COMPARED lin its Ill effect
upon the wealth of the nation) with
the military expenditure OF Italy, or,
in less degree, with other continen-
tai powers. The evidences of the
overpressure of taxation in India it
self, many as they are. are slight in
comparison with those which are
present In the case OF Italy, and 1t
may be assumed, therefore, that,
while the taxpayers OF the United
Kingdom and OF India may make
their voices heard In insisting upon
better value for their money, the ex-
,penditure will not in itself be brought
to an end by bankruptcy.
