a Family Trait.

A phase Ct rural character that is not
uncommon was illustrated by farmer
who called upon his lawyer the other
day. He belongs to one of those fam
lilies who have lived near the city for
years, selling everything they produce
ut good home market and saving some
money in even the dullest times. He
had brought In some things that he
thought his lawyer might want at the
house. and for 20 minutes faggled over
q cent or two on the price of eggs and
butter. When the farmer cav that the
deal was likely to go against him; he
induced the lawyer to throw in half a
box Of steel pens, and the trade was
made
Then the client told about a horse
dicker he had with q neighbcr, claim.
ing that he had got about S5 the werst
Of it. This was the law business he had,
and after another hours talk he con.
cluded to offer q compromise at 81. 80,
and If that was refused to sue. though
the lawyer advised against it
As the farmer was about to leave tho
lawyer inquired about go. 900 mort
gage owned by his client
"Hain't had no interest on IL for four
years, was the reply, "but I cackerlate
it's all right. The lands worth the
money, and s'pose I'll git II some
time"
''There you have il. said the lawyer
in telling Of the affair. 81 guess it's
heredity. This man Is Just like his
father and his grandfather. Their whole
thought was to make money out Of the
farm. Like them, this man lives close
and thinks Of nothing bat getting the
highest possible price for al he sells.
What he lays away is to b handed
down. He'll put in half day selling

Pearl. who Is the proprietor of the Cliff
House. Is well known throughout this

passed through Chicago. While coming
out Of that city on the Chicago and
Northwestern road there were several

time mutter something unintelligible

GUARD WAS .ovERPowERED.-

That Il why Missisippi Il Again Dis
grnced by the Mob.
Crystal Springs, Miss. June 26-The
negro John Moses. who murdered an old
man named Strong near this place q few
daye ago. and who bad been confined in
the local Jail with a strong guard since
Thursday, confessed to the killing yes
terday morning, and shortly afterward
the guard was overpowered by a mob
Ct 200 or 800 men, mostly farmers, and
Moses taken from the Jail, and with a
rope around his neck dragged through
the. streets to a tree near the railway
and hanged. He was dead or nearly 50
when they reached the place Of the
hanging.
Two requests for troops to protect the
prisoner had been wired to Jackson. but
owing to the absence Of both the COVER
nor and lieutenant governor from the
capitol the troops could not be moved
until it was too late. After hanging Mo-
ses to the tree some Of the mob made a
move to shoot him. The leader declared
it should not be done, as Justice had
triumphed and that was all they wanted.
The moo then started on q search for
a negro preacher who had sworn that
the murderer had spent the day on
which Strong was killed at his house,
and that he knew he (Moses) was not
the guilty person. He swore to a de-
uberate lie and the mob caught him and
gave him an unmerciful whipping for
false swearing. At this writing every
thing is quiet, the mob dispersed and
the farmers have all gone home.
