1t is seldom that man dies in cof-
fin, but that is exactly what old Barney
Frickers of Alliance, o., did when he
finally gave up the ghost in the fall OF
1890. For more than 20 years old Bar
ney had been haunted with the idea that
he was on the verge Of the grave. Ev-
cry evening he declared that he would
never again see the sun rise. He con-
stantly brooded over his queer halluci-
nation and never allowed himself to go
to sleep without being carefully pre-
pared for death and burial Every night
he robed himself in his grave clothes
and solemnly laid down in his coffin
and passed the night firmly believing
and probably hoping that for him the
day would never dawn again. Finally
death came; but, grim and sly as he
was, he did not find old Barney unpre-
pared. The coffin in which this queer
old character had so often awakened
disappointed was of his own make and
was said to have been a curiosity in it
self, being literally covered with all
kinds, patterns and sizes Of allegorical
carving. st. Louis Republic.

CONTRASTS OF SEWING WOMEN.
Advantages OF the Factory Girl In the
Country over Her sister In the City.

Country over nrF ft-tFf ~ Aat@ 10y
You may see ID airy one Of perhaps
hundred shops in this city coio1less, sad
eyed, dinghy clad women bending over
sewing machines amid squalid snr-
roundings, with no outlook save through
q window opening upon sordid street
You may see in at least a score OF coun-
try villages 80 miles from any great
rity a crowd Of neatly clad, happy look
ing girls and women busted with like
tasks, but amid clean aud pleasant sur
roundings, with glimpses Of smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toll, hasten home 70 gloomy tene-
ment lodgings and unwholesome fare
The village girls troop from the factory
10 modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant The
New York sewing machine woman Is
an insignificant unit IN a great com
munity. She feels daily the pressure OF
her fellows that are ready 20 take her
place and her earnings She hears from
embittered men and women talk Of the
rights Of labor and the greed Of wealth.
She knows that her earnings yonld not
keep some of her rich sisters in cat flow
ers. Whenever she stirs cat % hcr own
dingy quarter, it is TO see at every step
evidence of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs
The village factory girl has hardly
heard that there is a labor problem. Her
5000 or $3.50 a year, earned nc the sewing
machine. clothes her well, procures for
her small Injuries and helps to keen the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hither and yon when work
is slack and looks forward with conf
dence to marriage and a home of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable. She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks. and nine women ont of ten
in the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees
hungry or ragged person, unless il be
an occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning of what she now
and then hears ahout the lives of the
poor in great cities.
The New York slave to the sewing
machine lives half an hour from the
heart of the western world and may, if
she will, on any night see Broadway
and its throngs by electric light The
village factory girl believes that she
would be happy to give up all her com
forts for the others privilege Of seeing
at will the splendors Of the great city.
The New York sewing woman would
not, if she could, change places with
the village factory girl. New Yoli

"Clients love hard fighter, and the

SAYS Richard d. Doyle in an article ON
Law and Lawyers" in The Southern
Magazine. ''In my own experience
have had cases where / advised my eli

lowed my advice, instead of employing
other counsel, they refused to pay a
reasonable fee and in one case left me
to pay the court costs. And have sell

submit to arbitration that did not dis
please him. 1t requires moral courage
to advise one against his inclinations,
but it is sometimes a lawyers sacred

morality or true wisdom, yet | must
say / regard this aggressive and partisan
spirit more conducive to modern success
than profound Judgment, for ! have
seen lawyers succeed chiefly by reason

not at all conspicuous. In speaking OF
success, it will be observed that | do not
mean the eminence of such men as Err

Rufus Choate and Charles O'Conor. but
such success as is attained by the lead
