L,nooln.s Modest Fee.

M. D. Hardin, one Of the Oldest Illi-
nois lawyers, tells of an instance where
MIR. Lincoln was retained to assist two
other lawyers in the conduct of case
of the greatest Importance. Il 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 the time of its set
Element those coanected with it knew it
meant 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 S., 900 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 a time and finally said he
thought his share ought to be about
500. That was, be thought, pretty good
pay, considering that he had only given
a little over day to the case. Chi

STOPPING RUNAwAYs.
The c~as-ss: Park Police Fave system
of Their Own.

of Their Own.
Every mounted policeman connected
with the Central park squad swears by
his horse. No ether animal, IN his opln-
ion. j. quite as good, sound or well
trained for the ofttimes difficult work
which they are called npon TO perform
This pride IN their horses has led to
friendly spirit Of rivalry between the
men. which is undoubtedly the cause Of
the excellence Of the department. The
stopping Of q 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 50 month,
sfeak wen for the skill and daring Of
the mounted squad. Sergeant Egan,
who las command Of the squad, de-
clafes that any one Of his men can give
''ps' and 'q's" to any cowboy that
ever straddled a horse.
Eve have had COW punchers' in our
ranks, said the sergeant, who could
pick up a handkerchief from the ground
while riding AT breakneck speed, or
throw lasso 10 perfection, bnt when
il came g. taking their lives in their
hands in stopping runaway they were
mot ia st. with some Of cur New York
bovs who re.er mounted horse until
they joined the squad. I'll warrant that
any Of my men viii catch any runaway
that ever starfed in the park. Would
you like 10 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 a good start. In a moment
he came flying toward the sergeant ON q
dead gaIiop. Egan's horse pricked up
his ears, already scenting the work cut
out for it. AS Baldwin came nearer
Egan S 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 a complete standstil 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 run
away to get past them. A stern chase
is often 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 8

1t is probable that few musicians
ever became famous without wishing,
at one time or another, that they
might find a refuge from the reputa-
ton which precedes them wherever
they go. At one time the celebrated
composer, Verdi, went to the watering
place of Montecatini for a much-needed
holiday. In one of the apartments as
signed 10 the veteran musician stood
grand piano of splendid tone. Verdi
removed the score of III Trovatore,
which had been laid on the rack by
way of compliment. locked the instru-
ment, and called for the son of his
host. to whom he said, in solemn tones:
Lead me to the spot which overhangs
the steepest precipice." On reaching
the summit, the maestro, who was al
most exhausted from fatigue, flung the
key of the piano into the abyss, say

Newport News recently. and while wait
ing for a ferryboat a stranger. a man
about Mr.. Wyman's age, came up and
shared his seat. They were waiting for
the same boat.
You were in the union army" said
the stranger. glancing at button on
Wyman's lapel. where did you serve ."
II was in the First Wisconsin heavy
artillery and put in a good share of the
time guarding the bridge over the
Green river in Kentucky" answered
the northerner.
You did! twice helped to blow up
that bridge. and was there when the
third attempt, which you fellows
stopped, was made. 1t was a black
night in winter when we went I'D the
third time. There were only 4 few of
us. but enough to do the work if it were
done quickly and we could pass
through the federal pickets. We
reached a point 1000 yards south of
where we thought your picket line was.
and / was sent forward alone to locate
the line and find some place through
which we could pass. I walked along
freely until l thought ought to take
some care. and then | dropped TO my
hands and knees and went that way for
awhile. 1t was so dark | could see alb
solutely nothing. All at once l struck
a dry bush and snapped a stick under
my knee at the same time. Then rife
shot came from a picket at point not
more than 90 yards away and my right
arm was broken by the ball. The fellow
had fired at the noise and made good
shot. 1t alarmed the guard. and our
third attempt to blow up the bridge was
a failure. We're you there then?"
YES" said Wyman. II am the man
who shot you. never saw you. but
heard the moving of the bush and the
breaking of the twig. After shot you
walked straight to the right for about
ten yards and then ran back for your
command"
THAT / did exactly" said the south
erner.

view of the above, don't think your
people can blame me for not taking
the train further. Hoping this will
be a satisfactory explanation, l re-
main, Yours Respectfully,
5. DIXON.
The foregoing letter explains itself,
and we are glad to be able to publish
it so that our skirts may be cleared.
Mr.. Dixon wrote to US and he also
telegraphed US that his corn train
would 60 through to New York with
out fail, and it was on the strength of
these declarations that the money to
give Allen county place in that was
contributed. 1t is apparent, how
ever, from the statement from Mr..
Dixon himself that the whole bust
ness was wretchedly mismanaged.
1t certainly was poor management
to equip the train without having
positive assurance that the counties
which would be represented in it
would pay their share ofthe expenses,
and it is small consolation to those
who did pay to know that they re-
ceived no greater benefit than the ones
that did not. However, it is appar
ent that Mr.. Dixon has suffered more
than any one else by the mistakes
that he made, and while in personal
conversation with US he assured US
that he would refund the money if
our people insisted upon it, yet we
feel sure that under the circumstances
nothing more can be asked of him
than what he has already done. 1t
was a great advertisement as it was
and it is too bad the original program
could not have been carried out.
