The Plaintiffs Powerful Plea.

Il went INTO country district IN
Maryland a few days ago to try a
case, SAID Washington attorney.
- appeared tor the plaintiff, and 1t
must be confessed that the evidence
failed to establish his claim ! pre-
sented the matter before the Justice of
the Peace in the best light knew
how, but bad very little hope in SCI
curing the verdict. Ny client when
finished, whispered to me that he
would say a few words i | were will
ing, aud, considering the case lost, |
consented. II WAS the most unique
speech | ever heard aud 1t won the
case. He said
Squire, ! brought this suit, and
the evidence, except my own, isagainst
me. | don accuse anyone Of lying,
Squire, bnt the witnesses are the most
mistaken lot Of fellows ! ever saw.
You know me, Squire. Two years ago
you sold me a horse for sound that VAS
as blind az a bat. | made the trade
and stuck to it, and this il the first
time have mentioned it. When you
used to buy grain, you stood on the
scales when the empty wagon was
weighed, but | never said word.
Now, do you think that am the kind
Of man 10 pick up a rumpns and sue
fellow unless be has done me wrongY
1T took Just FIVE minutes for the
Justice to decide for the plaintiff. -

From the Shepherd College Pickett
ON THE POTOr1AC.

Upon thy banks, old river,
The feet Of blood have trod,
In days when the heart of the valley
Was crushed in the wine-preSs of God.
And still thy waters are wailing
In weird, unceasing cries
hear them low in the moonlight,
Out under the open skies.
And ever and still forever,
A dirge in a minor key
They sing to him who listens
As they carry their grief to the sea.
But not alone in battle
The wine-press of God is trod,
And hearts that are broken with sorrow
Do not all sleep under the sod:
And so pray thee, old river,
Make moan for the living As well
As for those whose SORROWS are buried
In graves where heroes fell.
And this | pray thee, old river.
THE birth-time of Christ is at hand
Sing peace and love and contentment
To the hearts that dwell in the land.
-Haitman Earle.

The Judge Put the Motion.

A very funny story is told on James
Epler and Oscar Delew, both Of whom
enjoyed reputation fol wit and hui
NOR during their lifetime. In one of
the townships adjacent to Cook cOun-
ty the people elected new justice of
the peace He was a man known for
his strict application Of parliamentary
rules to everything possible, having
acted as president OF many small de-
Lucrative bodies in the township. In
fact, he was regarded in his precinct
as the prince Of pro tempores. His
election Was due to this fact, which
had brought him popularity. He
was what the craft called a Judge Of
necessity, for necessity knows no
law.
Among his first cases was one Of
trihing mportance-an assault. Epler
and Delew represented the defendant,
and a man by the name of Smith the
prosecution. Both sides announced
they were ready for trial. Just as the
court was about to proceed Mr.. Eplcr
arose and said
IF your honor please, move this
case be- dismissed
81 second the motion, quickly put
in Mr. Delew
Its moved and seconded that this
case be dismissed, % was put by tn.
court
"But, your Honor, quickly inter-
rupted Mr. Smith, with great surprise
at such procedure.
"Mr. Smith, tins court has presided
over meetings before, and is thorough
" familiar with parliamentary'pro-
cedure-it needs no assistance from
YOU Ia this matter
But your Honor
u shall fine you for contempt, Mr..
Smith, if you continue to disturb this
court.
The court then put the question
again, adding "All in favor Of the
motion will rise. Eplcr, Dclcw and
the prisoner arose. Those opposed
will rise Smith and the prosecutor
arose.
The motion is carried by vote OF
3 TO ,, and the case is dismissed
clared the justice

Ab0IQiinable
Cataprh.

It is not reasonable to expect to be
cured of any disease, no matter how
constant and persevering the treat
ment, when that treatment is alto
gether misdirected, and can not posi-
bly, reach the trouble.
This explains why those afflicted
with catarrh meet with SO much dis
enlargement, Though they faithfully
take the usual treatment consisting of
sprays, washes, etc, and pass through
the summer without much discomfort,
as soon as cold weather returns, they
find themselves more firmly in the grip
of the disease than ever. Such results
could hardly be expected if the proper
treatment had been given.
Any one who has had experience
with catarrh will readily admit that it
is one of the most obstinate of diseases;
it is easy to see, therefore, that it is
deep-seated, and that no remedy which
merely reaches the surface can have
the slightest effect upon it. The only
known cure for catarrh is 4 real blood
remedy, one which gets at the seat of
the disease-the cause of the trouble
and forces it from the system. Such a
remedy is S. S. S. (Swift's Specific).

Mr.. II. P. Cook, Of 81 ialker street,
Atlanta, Ga, suffered intensely from
catarrh. He says:
81 at first thought had only bad
cold, and didn't give much atten-
ton to the distractions III my nose
and throat. This soon became notice
able, and began to so inconvenience
me, that1 applied for treatment and
was given the usual local applications
of sprays, washes, etc. The immediate
effect of the treatment was to relieve
me, but only for a short time after APP
plication,. and l could easily see that
the disease was growing worse stead
lily, and seemed TO grow deeper toward
my lungs; my nose and throat were
constantly choked up, so that L was
all the time hawking and splitting, and
to add to it all, the disease became
very offensive. / was unable to obtain
much sleep, being compelled to get up
constantly during the night to clear
my throat and keep from choking. }
~ tried various treatments without
relief, as none of the medicines seemed
to reach the disease. Finally, some
one recommended S. S. S., and before
had finished one bottle, felt better.
I continued the medicine, and it cured
me permanently. truly believe S.S.S.
is the only cure for catarrh, the most
abominable of all diseases"
S. S. S. is unlike all other blood
remedies, because it is more than a
mere tonic, and goes directly to the
seat of all blood diseases, and cures the
most aggravated cases of Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Rheumatism, Eczema, Scrofula,
Contagious Blood Poison, etc. S. s. S.
Is the only blood remedy guaranteed

A Woman's Ready WI.

The Nashville SIM tells the follow
ing story, which is pretty enough to
be true, and If true, good enough to
bear repetition
"a young woman who lives near a
railroad crossing, looking out Of the
window the other day, saw q laborer
lump from one track to the other 70
escape an approaching freight train.
He was apparently dazed by terror
and stood still, not seeing that an eK-
pres train was rushing down upon
him. The girl saw that before she
could make him understand biz dan
ger it would be too late. She there
fore threw up her arms, sbneking
wildly, Help! help help trusting
% the impulse which sends man on
the instant 10 the relief Of woman IN
distress. I'm comingr shouted the
laborer, springiDg toward her in time
to escape the engine as it rushed past.
He stared back at it, and then at the
woman crying and laughing in the
window, and, taking off his bat with
shaking hands, said I owe you some
thing, miss, and walked away"

Bits Of WISDOM.

When a rascal is loved by an honest
woman she either becomes criminal or
he an honest man.
Next to the pleasure Of admiring the
woman We love is that of seeing her
admired by others
Woman lives by sentiment where
man lives by action.
AS you please" Is the wife's first
word Of indifference.
Money matters can always be set
tied, but feelings are pitiless
There ale but few moral wounds
that solitude does not cure.
A man should find all women IN his
wife.
There are some men who are always
polite-they have gloved souls.
Women are apt TO see chiefly the de-
fects of a man of talent and the merits
of fool.
Noman has yet been able to discOv-
er the means of giving friendly advice
to a woman, not even to his own wife,
Love, after giving more than it has,
ends by giving less than it receives.

TIE INDIAN DEAD.
Laid TO Rest In tho Bougbs OF Forest
TreGs--Tho Widows Chant.

Over in tho northeastern part of the
White Earth reservation is u graveyard
where lie the remains of those who have
gone TO the happy hunting grounds. The
original style of burial that prevailed
among the tribe before white men set foot
on the continent has been followed TO some
extent The graves are in the branches of
big trees A resting place for the dead has
been made of branches and sticks half
woven together and fastened to the limb of
the tree, and on these, covered with bark,
and with bow and arrow on their breasts,
ready for use in the land OF the great spirit,
the remains are laid, high enough to be out
OF reach Of wolves, if there arc amy, forever
and forever rocked to sleep as the wind
blows through the grave Sometimes, at
night whom the moon shines IN tho clear
Sky, an Indian woman comes from her
tCpCc and sits in the shadow of the great
oak tree that is her husbands grave and
she sings II song--a sort of low, plantvo
chant Of sorrow for her dead In autumn,
says the minneapolis Tribune, when the
leaves fall from the tree, she gathers them
and takes them to her tcpcc, where she
makes couch for her children to sleep on. If
she passes under the grave OF her dead
husband by daylight she does not look up at
it. but turns her eyes 10 the ground and
calling 10 the dead man, and had not tho
heart to look to learn if he had heard her
voice. Some dozens of these graves are
scattered through the timber land on the
reservation. Some have been there for
years, and are covered with moss and dead
leaves Flocks OF bluejays haunt the wood
where these bodies lie, and they send out
screams as mournful as the scenes around
them all day long. 1t is desolate spot,
where white men seldom go, even in mid
day, and where the only sound that breaks
tho solemn stiffness at night is the song of
the Indian woman and the cry of Il hybrid
wildcat that prowls through the darkness.
Some of the Indians believe that the great
spirit comes down and protects the dead,
and when in the winter the wind makes
rrcaking through the woods they say ''the
great spirit is in the trees" and they put
oat the fires in the tepees, and, sitting
arouud the ashes, chant moucnfuly, and
sit shivcring III theh blankets till the wind
dies away OF the morning dawns.
