FAR CRY FOR CLIENTS.

"A Fresno, Cal, Woman Lawyer Co.
ing to South Africa to Seek Her
Fortune.
Mrs. Nettie Coke, attorney at law in
Fresno, expects to sail on the steamer
Mariposa on the 18th instant for Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa, where she
will engage in the practice Of law.
Mrs. Coke, who expects to arrive in
San Francisco to-day, has become
known to Fresno as woman endowed
with unusual pluck, and possessing at
the same time happy faculty of being
able to make her way in the world
without much trouble. Her many
friends were astonished somewhat
over year ago when she procured al
appointment from Gov. Budd as a
notary public at Fresno las she was
the only feminine holder Of such an
Office in that portion of the state.
When she set up her desk, however,
and began to reap golden harvest by
administering oaths and afiXing seals,
they changed their opinions and adj
mired her pluck. Her subsequent adj
mission to the bar only served to ado
to her popularity, and she is now
conspicuous and respected member Of
the legal profession in Fresno. AL
though she has met with considerable
success in her profession, Mrs. Coke
has decided that she could never be
content to remain all her life in Fres-
no, or in California, and she has de-
termined to seek broader fields in
which to labor She also wants to see
more of the world, and it is this latter
desire that has Influenced her to go to
Africa. She will go first to Honolulu,
thence to New Zealand and Australia,
in all Of which places she will devote
some time to sightseeing. Then she
will make her way to Cape Town and
Johannesburg. Mrs. Coke expects to
find ready employment in Johannes
burg. Should she fail to succeed in es-
tablishing profitable law practice, she
will probably return to Fresno, visiting
Europe on her way home.-San fran
cisco Examiner.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For q great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. J. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on
the market 1t is taken internally in doses

Beyond Expression.

A costermonger, while trundling his
apple-laden cart down London street,
was run into by a coaching party. The
coster looked at his cart, looked at his
a wheel, and it's ruddy freight being
er of the coach came back to settle for
the damage and expected to come in
for volley of choice cursing. But the
:oster looked at his cort, looked at his
apples, looked at the COACH and finally
gasped out: "Guv'ner, dere event no
Yord fer it!'-Argonaut.

FATHER OF THE LAW.

Buckstaff Is IL Terror to Wisconsin Net
Fishers.
George Angus Buckstaffs name is as
we'll if not better known among the
fishermen of Wisconsin than that of
IZaak Walton, though from quite diff
ferent cause. Just at present wolver-
ines are glorying in what may be called
his defeat, but he takes it philosophic-
ally, in the hope and belief that his
day will soon come again. Mr.. Buck
staff is the author of the fish and game
law passed by the Wisconsin general
assembly two years ago, prohibiting
net fishing in the waters of the COM
monwealth. But that law was upset
recently by the state supreme court at
Madison, which is the cause of the fish
ermen's glorifcation and Mr.. Buck
staff's defeat. During the period of the
laws enforcement the fish had a
chance to increase and multiply to such
an extent that when the nets are cast
and hauled now there is rarely any,
thing less than an enormous catch,
W
mems triumph and delight. In fact
the fishermen of Oshkosh felt so good
over what they call their victory that
they held a grand jollifcation meeting
and parade. Mr.. Buckstaff is we'll
known and popular in Oshkosh and
the surrounding country. He was
born in this city Dec %, 1861, and had
the first of his education in the public
schools and graduated at the state uni
versity at Madison in 1856. After
studying law here for a year he went
to and was graduated from the Column
bia law school, Circumstances soon
served to change his course from law
to business, however, and he is now
secretary and one of the managers of
a large chair and coffin manufacturing
firm. In 1894 Mr.. Buckstaff was nom
mated for the state assembly, and was
elected from the third district by a

His Iden of Heaven.

The little boy was going to Sunday
school for the first time He had learn
ed much and had had his curiosity
awakened upon the subject of another
world and the Deity, to whom he had
been told to look with tilial affection.
One idea that had fixed itself in his
young mind was that this Deity re-
sided somewhere in space high above
his head. Not long after these impress
sions had been made, the young man
was taken to walk by his cousin. AS
they approached a hill the small boy
was seen to be intently looking up
ward. "Oh, ANNIE" he exclaimed in
an awed tone, Il think-I know l can
see my Heavenly Father over there"
Annie looked in the direction indicated.
There on the hill, high in the air, was
a repairer at work at the top of an
electric wire pole.-NeW York Times.

Two Cures for Neuralria.

Nothing upsets the whole nervous
system more than an attack of neural
gia, generally resulting from a. slight
cold which has a predisposition to 'set-
tle' in the facial nerves if the teeth are
not in the best Of condition.
One remedy is to wet cloth with
strong camphor, lay it over hot fiat
iron and hold it to the face, inhaMng
the steam also. This is made possible
by throwing shawl over the head to
confine it.
Another palliative is to rub the face
lightly with tincture of aconite, cover
with warm flannel and "sleep it off,
Aconite is a deadly poison land must
not be used where the skin is broken
or put in the mouth.

and especially in any one who found
a daily taskmaster in the pen, and
above all, when, as in this case. the
woman was one possessed of great
moral aspiration, half-paralyzed in it's

woman was like a magnet to Mrs.
Stowe. She inherited from her father
faith in the divine power of sympathy
which only waxed greater with years
and experience. Wherever she found
a fellow-mortal suffering trouble or
dlshonor, in spite of hindrance her
feet were turned that way The genius
of George Eliot and the contrasting
elements of her life and character drew
Mrs. Stowe to her side in sisterly soli-
cltude. Her attitude, her sweetness,
her sincerity could not fail to win the
heart of George Eliot. They became
loving friends. 1t was the same in
born sense of fraternity which led her,
when a child, on hearing of the death
OF Lord Byron, to go out into the fields
and fling herself weeping Oh the
mounded hay, where she might pray
alone fer his forgiveness and salvation.
1t is wonderful to record the influence
OF Byron upon that generation It is
on record that when Tennyson. boy
of Is, heard them say byron is dead"
he thought the whole world at an end.
i thought he said one day, EVERY
thing Was over and finished for every
one; that nothing else mattered. I

tied would fill a volume, and acting on
some OF the suggestions received (by
request) from lady patrons, the man
agement have surpassed all previous

fort In the makeup of a train. These
efforts have reduced the inconvenience
and irksomenesS of travel to a mini

couches, easy chairs, writing facilities
and a well stocked library with the lat
