A CURIOUS CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
From London Truth.

One morning, now several years ago,
Henry Goodeve, solicitor, had a call from
one of his most distinguished clients, the
MARQUES Of X, who brought with him
companion, and, on his companions be-
half proposed to Goodeve a novel and
peculiar transaction. The companion was
introduced as Mr.. Philip Charlmount. He
was a young fellow apparently of about %.
but looking worn and dissipated and hav
ing the air OF man whose nervous sys-
tenn was i'm a bad way. Goodeve knew his
name, having occasionally read it in the
turf reports in the newspapers as an own
er of race horses.
Now, GOODBYE" said the marques.
we wang YOU to do business in a certain
little matter which may be profitable to
both of us. 1 hope we shall find you agrees
able
What is the nature Of the BUSINESS, my
lord?' asked Goodeve
ITS this. said the marques, my
friend, Mr.. CharlmoUnt, here has horse
for immediate sale. and he wants you TO
buy it,"
The solicitor raised his eyebrows and
shook his head
Il never bought horse in my life" he
said, land 1 know nothing about EN-. 1
am afraid, my lord, that you must look
for a customer, elsewhere. -
All the other interposed. But this Is
no ordinary horse, Gcodeve; and it's no
ordinary horse deal that We're proposing.
Is it, Charlmount2"
Most decidedly not" replied the young
man addressed, In an emphatic tone;
DO you follow The turf Intelligence,
Goodeve?" inquired the marques.

much interest in racing"
We'll at any rate perhaps you know
the name Of the favorite for the Cam
bridgeshire %
ITO be quite candid, my lord I don't;
But / suppose ! can find It here" said
Goodeve, taking up the morning paper,
which lay upon his table. All, yes! Here
we are Prince Charming-lO0 TO u.
That's him" said the marques.
That's Charlmount's horse, which we
want YOU TO buy"
Before the raee?'' asked Goodeve.
Yes. before the race. And as its run
the day after tomorrow, there Is, you
can see, no time to waste over the tran
saction."

Mr.. MarshmnIIo,v's strategy.

INTERESTING EXHIBITS"
LAWYERS WORK UPON THE SYM
PATHIEs OF JURORS.
Pretty widows often Successful in
Claims for Dhmages-SOme of the
weapons Used in Famous Local


Crimes.
From the Louisville Courier Journal.
The exhibits filed in the circuit court in
the various cases form one of the most in
teresting features Of the records, and one
of which the general public hears little
or nothing. To those who have the oppor-
tunity of seeing them they form simply a
part Of the daily grind, and 1t is only
when they have become relics of a half
forgotten crime or suit that they become
of interest
Under the general head of the exhibits
come many things that, technically
speaking, are not exhibits. For Instance
in a suit for damages for personal injury
most effective move upon the part of the
plaintiffs attorney is to exhibit his clients
injuries to the jury and enlist their sym
pathy in his behalf. When a little boy hob
bles across the floor of the court room with
one little leg missing or with an arm gone,
he is generally reasonably certain of a
verdict, and good one, if he has any sort

The Value of Wheat,

Let us look at the wonderful evolu.
ton of wheat from the wild weed OF
the fields, and examine its constitu-
ents. Regarding it the celebrated ed

wrote, II entertain the profoundest
respect for a grain of wheat, as it is a
most marvellous combination of sub
stances admirably adapted for the
building up and sustenance of the It's
sues of the human body.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
chemistry proves that in kernal of
wheat is packed all the fourteen or
more elements alse found in the hui

proportion. This one fact contains

IT is NOT PARADISE

1t you have some cash to spare
and are willing to work, financial
independence cannot be more
surely secured than by buying a
few acres of irrigated land in Salt
River Valley.
This valley is in Southern Ari-
iona, and is noted for its fine
semi-tropical fruits and superior
climate. Horticulturists say that
greater profits can be realized
here from oranges and grapes
than in Florida or California
Physicians assert that the warm,
dry, bracing climate excels in
healing qualities Italy's balmiest
airs. The great blizzard OF 1895
did not blight the tenderest leaf
in this protected spot.

The Courthouse.

Our police jury have acceded to
the popular demand against rails
ing the taxes, several members be-
ing already opposed to it, and have
adopted plans to build a neat. sub
stantial, modern-styled Courthouse
without raising taxation or issuing
parish bonds.
There is now in the parish treas
ury a surplus sufficient to pay
about 1-fourth the price of the
structure, and this years revenues
will produce a similar surplus, and
these two payments can be made,
one at and the other, shortly after
the completion of the building; the
remaining two payments can he
made in one and two years by econ
omy in other expenditures, which
the body has decided to make.
This is very gratifying, and our
police jury deserve credit for their
skillful management of this ques-
ton.

SOcialistic.

1t is unfortunate at this time
that some of our sO-called leaders
1--WE have no leaders) are taking up
the plutocratic cry of Socialism.
Whether they are doing it for the
same purposes and objects as the
old party press, or whether they
have not sense enough to know
what Socialism is, makes but little
difference, so far as the effect of
their silly cry is concerned. Every
living man who has spark of hu-
man sympathy in his breast is So
cialistic, and the Declaration of
Independence is almost radically
socialistic.
Our postoffice system is socialis-
tic.
Our public school system is not
only socialistic but paternalistic.
1t is supported by tax which is
used regardless of any equitable
distribution based upon the amount
which each must pay. The poor
man with q dozen children and no
taxes to pay is as much entitled to
the benefits of the school as the
rich man who pays a large tax and
has but one or two children to send.
In many States it is paternalis-
| tic, because donations Of land by
the State for school purposes have
been made, the land sold and the
proceeds held in trust as a fund,
the interest of which is apportion-
ed to the various districts in the
State
Does anyone want to abolish the
postal system or our public school
SYSTEMS -
Our system of public roads are
socialistic, but Mr.. Coxey is called
a crank for wanting to extend the
system for the double purpose of
having good roads and employing
the idle.
The public ownership of water
works, as il the case in many cities,
is socialistic, yet IT is growing in
favor every day. Socialism, in its
literal sense, means a better state
of society, and as the world gets
better it s'drifts" nearer to Social
ism. .-Ex.

Saturday afternoon. 1t was well attend

to the roll. Several Democrats were
present, and paid good attention to the
entire proceedings. We were glad to
have them, and hope they were pleasant
ly entertained.
Mr. r. Z. Prudhomme, the able repre-
sentative of ward 8, on the police jury,
was present. and assured the club that
he would oppose raising the parish taxes
for building Courthouse, and that he
would never consent to the parish issu-
ing bonds for such purpose, and gave it
as his opinion that there was no necessi-
ty of either course for the building of
same. The club was well pleased with
Mr. Prudhomme's statement of the situa-
tion, and his position thereon, and their
committee appointed to make such in
quiries was discharged.
After short talk by ye editor, the
club adjourned to meet ct Chaler, on
