Webster'S wit,

Most men Of weight dislike the frail
gilt and satin chairs which accidentally
fall to their lot in q crowded drawing
room. They were in use in Mr.. Web
ster's time. At an evening reception
given to some western lawyers, soon
after the accession Of President Tyler
and the dissolution Of President Harri
sons cabinet, Mr.. Stanberry, late attor-
ney general, was accompanied by his
bashful friend, Mr.. Leonard. who i'm
mediately retired to q corner and select
ed this gilded trifie as a resting place.
In order to withdraw still farther from
notice. he tilted the frail structure back
ward. Down it went, smashed into q
dozen pieces, and Leonard, the embar.
raised, was Leonard the observed by all
Mr.. Webster Immediately rushed to
the rescue of his unfortunate guest and
raised him from the floor with the reas.
surfing remark, Why. my dear Mr..
Leonard, you should have remembered
that no cabinet work would hold to-
gether here"

LincOln's Modest Fee.

NJ. D. Hardin, one of the Oldest ILL
nois lawyers, tells of an instance where
Mr.. Lincoln was retained to assist two
other lawyers in the conduct of . case
of the greatest Importance. II will not
say now what the case was," said Mr..
Hardin, .'but it was one of the greatest
moment to the state and of Importance
to the nation. The decision arrived at
grows more stupendous in its results
every day. Even at tho time of its set
Element those connected with it knew it
meant a great deal, and the two men
who had been his colleagues consulted
together after the trial as to the amount
of the fee to be charged. They decided
that So, 600 was the least they could
take and concluded to send their bill
for that amount. But they waited for
Mr.. Lincoln and laid the case before
him. They asked him what he thought
they ought to charge. He pondered over
the matter for time and finally said he
thought his share ought to be about
500. That was, he thought, pretty good
pay, considering that he had only given
a little over day to the case. Chi

The Central Park Police Have System
of Their Own.

The Central Park Police Have : system
of Their Own.
Every mounted policeman connecttl
with the Central park squad swears by
bis horse. No other animal. in lis opin-
ion. is quite as good. sound or well
trained for the Outlines difficult work
which they are called upon to perform.
This pride in their horses has led to .
friendly spirit of rivalry between tho
men. which is undoubtedly the cause Of
the excellence of the department. The
stopping Of runaway in the drives or
bride paths is by no means an easy I'M.
dertaking The comparatively few seri-
Gus accidents resulting from runaways.
which during the greater portion Of the
year average more than so Q month,
speak well for. the skill and daring Of
the mounted squad. Sergeant Eean.
who has command of the squad, de.
clares that any one of his men can give
''p's' aud rs" to any cowboy that
ever straddled horse.
I'VE have had cow punchers' in our
ranks, said the sergeant, "who could
pick up handkerchief from the ground
while riding at breakncck speed, or
throw lasso to perfection. but when
it came to taking their lives in their
hands in stopping runaway they were
mot in it. with some of our New York
boys who never mounted horse until
they Joined the squad. I'll warrant that
any of my men will catch any runaway
that ever started in the park. Would
You like to see our system Of stopping
horses?"
Baldwin was called in and the SER
geant gave orders to have his horse sad
died. When all was in readiness, the
two men rode down the bride path to
give an illustration of the system which
all the men have practiced and studied
until they now have it down to perfec-
ton. Sergeant Egan halted and Bald
win. on his horse Harry, went down the
path to get good start. In q moment
he came flying toward the sergeant on q
dead gallop. Egan's horse pricked up
his ears, already scenting the work cut
out for it. AS Baldwin came nearer
Egan' superb animal began to move
with gradually increasing speed until
the supposed runaway was alongside.
and then it ran neck and neck with
Baldwin's horse.
Reaching out, the sergeant grasped
the bride of Baldwin's horse, and his
own steed began to pull back, coming
to complete standstill within ten
yards. Several more trials were made,
the men taking turns at stopping each
other. lyon see, they cannot get away
from us, said the sergeant, ''as our
horses understand their business as well
as the men. They never allow a run.
away to got past them. A stern chase
is often a long chase. Under the regu.
lations riders and drivers are allowed to
move only at certain speed within the
park. A runaway of course always ex.
| ceeds this pace, and the policeman q
horse detects the rapid patter of boofs
as quickly as he does himself. New
York Herald. .t. ,,.-.
