due on the note as principal debtors,
because this amount of the original

of the legal Indebtedness of the Can

they were liable therefor.

OLD BARRIERS ARE SCARCE.

After Reaching 80 They Usually Retire
or Enter Another Occupation.
did you ever notice. said veteran
tonsorial artist, who had shaved New
Haveners since 1873, to a New Haven
Register MAN, that you only see a few
old barbers?"
"Why is it?''
There are a good many reasons,
answered the veteran knight of the
blade II suppose the chief one is that
a barber's hand becomes unsteady after
he gets to be about 40 years old and he
has to give up. A good many BARRIERS
drink hard, and that makes their nerves
and hands unfit for service, and they
retire before they cut their customers
throats. Still, will say that in all my
experience Of 81 years never saw a
man badly cut by barber, not even by
an accident for which the barber was
not responsible.
"What becomes of the BARRIERS after
they retire?'
"Oh, some of them go to the poor
house, he replied, with a twinkle in
his eye, 'and some of them, who have
saved their wages, buy little places and
live on them, perhaps running farm.
Some Of them, of course, go into other
business, perhaps bookselling or else be-
come insurance agents. l have heard Of
BARRIERS who gave up the business and
became butchers. This isn't such n wide
difference from their former business
(what are you laughing at?) as it might
seem. No, l don't mean that they learn
to carve people or even to skin them in
the barber business, but they learn how
to handle blade skillfully and they
make first class meat cutters"

ABE LINCOLN'S CHIvALRY.

Helped . Lawyer, Now Famous, to Win
His First Case.
His first case at the bar will never be
forgotten by ex-senator John G. S.
Blackburn of Kentucky, for Abraham
Lincoln played a conspicuous part in
helping the young Kentuckian to win
his suit. Lincoln was merely an attor
ney, waiting for one Of his cases to be
called, when the incident occurred.
Ex-senator Blackburn was only 20
years old when he began the practice Of
law, having graduated at Centre col
lege, Danville, Ky. His first case was
in the United States court in Chicago,
presided over by Justice John Mclean,
then on the circuit. The opposing conn
sci was Isaac N. Arnold, then at the
head Of the Chicago bar, and subse-
quently member of congress and au-
thor of the first biography of Lincoln.
Young Blackburn had filed demurrer
to Mr.. Arnold's pleadings in the cause,
and when the case was reached on the
calendar the young Kentuckian was
quite nervous at having such formida-
bic and experienced antagonist, while
the dignity of the tribunal and the pres
ence of large number of eminent law
yers i'll court served to increase his til
midity and embarrassment. In truth the
stripping barrister was willing to have
any disposition p,ade Of the cause in
order to get rid Of the burden of e1n-
barrassment and stage fright. He was
ready to adopt any suggestion the op-
posing counsel should make.
r.
he criticised the demurrer in manner
that increased the young lawyers con-
fusion. However, Blackburn knew he
had to make some kind of an effort He
proceeded with n few remarks, weak
and bewildering, and was about to sit
down when a tall. homely, loose joint
ed man sitting in the bar arose and ad-
dressed the court i'll behalf Of the posi-
tion the young Kcntuckian had assumed
in feeble and tangled argument, MAX
ing the points so clear that the court
sustained the demurrer.
Blackburn did not know who his vol
unteer friend was, and Mr.. Arnold got
up and sought TO rebuke the latter for
attempting to interfere in the case,
which he had nothing TO do with. This
volunteer was none other than Abraham
Lincoln, and this was the first and last
time the Kentuckian ever saw the rail
splitting president. In replying to Mr..
Arnold's structures Mr.. Lincoln said he
claimed the privilege of giving young
lawyer q helping hand when struggling
with his first case. especially when he
was pitted against an experienced prac-
titioner. Chicago Times-H Herald.

Electricity and Balky Horses.

One of the recent extensions of the
use of electricity is in conquering a
balky or lazy horse A western Penn
sylviinia gentleman owned a horse
which he said was worth $1,000, pro-
vidcd he could cure him Of baking. It
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased three volt storage bat
terry and connected it by wires with the
bit and the crupper. The battery was
placed in the read cart to which the
horse was attached. At first the horse
refused TO move, but stood with all four
feet braced Then the owner touched
the button connected with the battery.
When the horse felt the shock, he snort
ed, jumped and began to move off at a
lively pace. Every day for week he
was given the same lesson. His owner,
who docs not care to sell him, declares
that now he never balks, bites or kicks.
TIE West Pennsylvania Humane So
ciety, which investigated the method,
.s:me to the conclusion that a small
amount of electricity used upon q horse
was more humane than whip.-Ex-

HER SOUL UNBURDENED.
A Youag Brides Confession In the Wa

A Youug Brides Confession In the Wan
ing Of the Honeymoon.
Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock-
EFT had been married nearly three weeks,
and they had just returned from their
wedding trip. They were supremely
happy in each others love, and the
honeymoon 50 far had been to them as
one long, blissful dream. Within the
next day or two, however, the bride
grew slightly depressed in spirits, and
an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos
session Of her. The young husband no.
ticed the change, but attributed 1t to
fatigue from the recent travels. But his
bride grew more nervous and took on
such a troubled expression that he said
to her:
"You have something Oh your mind,
darling, that is troubling you. Tell me
what it is
At first she tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken, that nothing
worried her.
"You are wrong, Charley, DEAR"
she would say. Really, am not wor-
rying over anything. 1 am just as
happy asI can be-"
The day following. however, the
young wife Wore such q troubled look
that her husband said to her:
Lucille, you must tell me what is
troubling you. will not be put off any
longer As your husband 1 have a right
to know"
Seeing that further concealment was
impossible, she broke down and sobbed
bitterly:
"Oh, Charley, am SO unhappy"
she walled. Il have-deceived-yOu. I"
A sickening sensation swept over the
young husband. Surely there must be
some mistake. She, whom he had looked
upon as the personifcation of innocent
womanhood-deceive him! 1t must not
be. 1t would destroy his happiness and
blight his life. And then, when he
caught sudden vision of the horrible
possibilities OF the situation, he became
sick at heart and almost fell to the
floor. Then, with great effort, ne
controlled his feelings
Tell me-" he said. II am prepared
for the worst"

Then she came over and knelt ut his
feet.
