And the Reason He Quit This Job Pre-
cisely on Time.
With the name OF Rufus Lockwood is
recalled to mind one Of the most extraor-
dinary geniuses that the state of Cali
fornia ever produced. 1t is many years
now since Lockwood held sway in the
courts of San Francisco. He was, in his
day. perhaps the best lawyer in the
state, and it was only because Of his ut
ter indifference to pecuniary matters
that he did not leave large fortune be-
hind him.
Lockwood went at one time to Horace
Hawes, a very distinguished lawyer,
and the author Of the consolidation act
which is now in force. Hawes had q
reputation for close figuring, and Lock
wood knew it. He said, "Mr. Hawes,
I'll hire myself to you for one year from
date at salary of $40 a day, payable
every night"
"All right" said Hawes, delighted
to engage the services Of the brightest
mind in the state at SO low fgure--for
the salary was not a great one in those
days-and the bargain was scaled. It
was IL O'Clock in the morning. But
from that time on, it is said, Hawes
never missed an opportunity of remind
ing Lockwood of his bondage. He would
say, in the presence Of others, 'Lock-
wood, so fetch that book" Lock
wood, do this or that, etc. Lockwood
never said word, but did as he was
bidden, and Hawes enjoyed his triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
years. engagement terminated. There
was a most important lawsuit on hand,
of which Lockwood had made n careful
study No one in the state could pos
sibly have handled it as he did. Well,
on the day in question Lockwood stood
in court, an array Of lawbooks in front
Of him. and expounded his views in
mastery fashion. Suddenly he looked
up at the clock and saw that it was the
hour Of H. Closing tho book from which
he was quoting, he turned to Hawos,
who was sitting beside him, and said
"Mr. Hawos, a year ago today at thi.
hour / contracted to work for you one
year. My times up, the contract is can.
celed and / am going.
Thus did he repay his master for the
humiliation heaped upon him. Have.
was in the greatest CONSERVATION. lie
could not possibly take up the thread Of
the case where Lockwood had left it,
and he begged and implored him to pro
ceed. But Lockwood remembered, and
he turned deaf ear to all persuasions.
He kept his word; the contract had ex-
pired. San Francisco Bulletin.

A reatnrn of phenlr.

"I am struck, said "a we'll known
traveller the other day, with a few
features in Phenix that mark no other
town ON the coast. One Of them is the
custom Of posting up black bordered
notices of invitations to funerals. I've
seen that done in some Of the little
towns IN the gulf states, but nowhere
else. / know it's a sort Of habit only
from a conversation 1 had with an old
timer. He said that about 30 years ago,
when the town was new, there were no
newspapers, and even later the only We
hicle OF nows was a weekly paper
There was no ice to be had, and burials
had to be done quickly, especially in the
summer time. The only way to bring
the news Of the death and funeral to the
attention of the public was by means of

A Square Drink.

But of all the attractive features Of
this charming spot, Rothenburg, the
annual festspiel, celebrating the cap
ture of the town by Tilly during
the Thirty Years war, ranks first At
that time, ard indeed until 1903, Roth
enburg was a free city. talying an active
part in the peasants W.r az --o5 and
in the Thirty Years war of the follow
ing century. 1t was in the course Of the
latter, in 1881, that the celebrated Tilly
appeared before Rothenburg and de.
manded its capitulation. This the citi-
zens refused, with the result that tho
gallant little town was besieged and
taken. Tilly and his generals proceeded
to the rathhaus and demanded the
municipal keys of the burgomaster AT
the same time lilly imposed a fine Of
80, 600 thalers and garrisoned the town
with his soldiers
The burgomaster pleaded in vain foi
some mitigation Of tho penalty, until
the victorious general, after remaining
for some time unmoved by his entreaties,
conceived the extraordinary notion OF
Offering TO restore the freedom Of the
town on condition that one Of the in
habitants should come forward and
empty at one draft an immense bealzel
of wine, containing about 3iS liters
lover three quarts.) This was an I'M
heard of feat, even in those hard drink
ing days, and for some time his Offer
remained unaccepted. The opportunity
of freeing the town from a foreign yoke
seemed, however, too important to be
lost. and accordingly a patriotic citizen
named Nusch resolved to attempt the
difficult task imposed by the oonqueror.
AS a matter Of fact, he drained the
beaker at one draft, and, although ira
dition relates that severe illness fol
lowed the feat, still he saved the town
for Tilly kept his word and restored the
independence Of Rothenburg. Cham

william Blake's Marriage.

In 1889 William Blake, the poet artist,
was married to Catharine Boucher, a
woman four years his Junior, and SO illit-
crate as to be unable to write her own
name. But, by way of compensation, she
appears to have been exceptionally gifted
in all tho qualities that tended to fit her
for oompanionship with man who was
not only extremely worldly, but self willed
and even dognatic to the last degree.
Yet, with the exception of some slight
Misunderstanding during the first years
of their marriage, she was ever in fullest
sympathy with his aims and work. In
deed she appears to have fallen in with his
habits of life and thought SO completely as
to become truly second self, even to the
extent of sharing what people have been
ready to set down as his madness. Lin
neil, who knew Blake as well as any one,
says that he never perceived any trace of
insanity in the man, but, then, insanity,
SO called, is a very Elusive quality, APP

as it affects this or that faculty of this
mind or this or that portion of the brain,
