a LABYRINTH.
But Lawyer Broadhead Untangled 1t
and He Earned His Fee.

"Mood corning, mentlegen! Dice
nay!" politely saluted a pale, intel
lectual-looking man, as he passed the
Ruralville tavern, on the porch OF
which the landlord and a drummer
We're conversing.
Great Scott What on earth is the
matter with that man?" asked the COM
mercial traveller in establishment when
the passerby was out of hearing. THAT
is the most peculiar impeachment 1 ever
heard of man having in his speech.
Who is he, anyhow"
THAT is Lawyer Broadhead,' replied
the landlord He was the leading at
torney in the case of Hitchcock VS..
Hotchkiss. which was tried last month,
and in repeating the names of the
plaintiff and defendant over and over
he got his speech all tangled up, as
you noticed, and hasn't been able to get
it Strengthened out yet"
"Ahi And what was the nature of
the case?"
well, Hitch mean Hotchkiss ran
store over yonder on the corner,
where you notice that a building was
burned down, and Hitchcock bought
him out, paying him a sum in cash for
the store, fixtures, goodwill and ac-
counts, just as they stood, all in a
lump, and when he examined the books
he found that Kich-that is, Hotchkiss,
had been keeping his books in such a
novel fashion that he couldn't make
head nor tail of them.
1.-The merchant had a very short
memory, and when he couldn't recall
a customers name he just charged the
goods to some popularity in the APP
pearance of the patron, and as a result
he had accounts against the 'one-eyed
man. the lady who talks fast the
queer-looking fellow with the lame dog,
and so on. Naturally, there are sew
eral one-eyed men and rapid-spoken
ladies and queer looking fellows in that
vicinity, and Koch-er-er-the pu-
chaser of the accounts, met with de-
malls of the charges on all sides when
he attempted to make collections.
Thereupon ne sued Hotchkiss -
mean the other fellow-and Koch-er-
ah!-the man he bought from fought
back. He said he had sold everything
just as it stood, and Hotchkiss-er-h' m.
the purchaser had no rightful kick
coming Lawyer Broadhead went into
the case with all his might, and made
thrilling and eloquent speech, in
which the names of the plaintiff and
defendant We're repeated so often that
he got tangled up till he couldn't say
em straight to save his life. The jury
got all snarled up, too, and brought in
a verdict for Kisshock, and then tried
to change it by saying they meant
Hotchkiss. The Judge endeavored to
set them right, and got tangled up him

The men who utilize the corner gro
Gerry for a club room in the evening and
on stormy days had just been discuss
ing a fox hunt about which one of their
number had read aloud when the con-
versation naturally took reminiscent
turn, says the Detroit Free Press"
Nothing cutter or more cunning in
the world than a fox" said Groggs, by
way of introduction. 81 remember one
night when 1 was a boy that we heard
a great fuss among the dogs that were
chained up. 1t took us about half an
hour to get dressed and armed to sally
forth for the purpose of investigating
Not discovering anything, we loosened
the dogs, and they darted off on a
trail, yelping as they went. We didn't
know whether it was man or varmint,
but after long run the dogs brought
up at the hen-house and tried to tear
it down. Well, sir, an old fox had de-
liberately showed himself to the dogs
so as to excite them, made that run
while we We're getting ready for trou-

knew the thief couldn't climb, so 1 just
stood at the window laughing. The fox
barked to wake the chicken and then
began circling around the tree, slow
at first, but going faster and faster. OF
course the terrified pullet followed him
with her eyes and got so dizzy that she
fell out of the tree

the lank individual on a paint key,

AneCdote of Due D'Aumaie.

Courageous in battle, the Due PAu-
male was wanting in moral courage and
decision. He made up his mind with
difficulty. l recollect this happening at
a soiree where [ was, so far back as
1873. l was standing near the door of
the first salon of a long suite, watching
the grand company enter. The Due
PAumale crossed the anteroom to enter.
The usher asked what name. General
lie Due l'Aumale." The man was swell
ing his chest to bawl it when the Due
said, mo; announce His Royal High
ness the Due PAumale." But on an
instances reflection this did not do
either, and he said merely, 1.-THE Due
rAumale. Finally he said, "Say moth
ing" and walked in unannounced.
This gave me the assurance that he
would never restore the monarchy or
set himself up as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

publican doctrines are evidently max
ing rapid strides in the South, when
such a rock-ribbed Democratic paper
as the New Orleans "Picayune' can
adopt Republican tariff principles as 1t
does in a recent editorial, which says:
The rice industry can live on nothing
less than than the protection accorded
1t by the Dingley bill. 1t has suffered
severely under the Wilson law, as the

THE THREE BIS"
Oakland Enquirer: While it is noted
as one of the signs of the times that
Bryan seems to be strengthening his
hold upon the Democratic party, it
Should not be ignored that Tom Watson
is becoming the undisputed leader of
the Populists, one whose purposes in
the coming national conference at
Nashville is to repudiate Bryan altogeth-
er Watson, in his newspaper, puts it
In this way: Let US eliminate the three
B's-Bryan, Butler and Bargains. The
first repudiated Watson, the second is
q traitor, and the third means fusion.
So, while Bryan appears to be becom-
ing stronger, it is not unlikely that he
is really growing weaker. At least he
would not have cut much Of a figure

the Populists cast for him.
THE RUIZ CASE.
San Diego Union: Spain should be
but the matter should not be suffered
TO end with simple demand for in
demnity. Claims of this sort too often
drag along for years. Besides, to COM
pensate the family Of the prisoner only
repairs in part the wrong that has
been done. When the treaty rights of
an American citizen are willfully VIC
lated, the United States suffers grave
injury. Spain has trespassed again
and again in this respect. The peo-
pie of this country are lOng-suffering
and averse to unnecessary trouble with
foreign nations, but they will not be
satisfied should this Ruiz matter end in
a diplomatic haggle as to how much
money Spain shall pay, perhaps years
hence, to the family Of that unfortunate
American citizen.

"That the department store has
come to stay and grow in useful
ness no longer admits of any
doubt. 1t has encountered and
overcome opposition at every step.
Nearly all our great depart
ment houses of to-day began their
careers as small stores and grew
with gradual but steady strides to
their present magnitude; but the
little stores that from the Begin
ming found fault and still continue
to do so with the department store
idea and its methods strangely
enough are content to remain in
the old rut and stand still, leaving
to the department store all the
progress and life and energy.
Marked success in any business
or vocation always calls out GER
tain number of fault-finders and
those envious Of such success. In
this the department store is no ex-
ception."
