sufficient motive for a conspiracy to blow

Good Stories of George Wood, q Lawyer

GOOD Stories of George Wood, Lawyer
of Many Years Ago.
There are still some members,of the
New York bar who remember George
Wood, the contemporary of Daniel
Lord, Ogden Hoffman, William Kent,
James 7. Brady and other distinguish
ed lawyers of many years ago. The ven-
cradle Benjamin D. Silliman has de-
scrlbed George Wood as being conspic-
uous for his great learning, his wonder
ful power in stating his cases and his
mathematical power in argument He
was great advocate. Frederic R. Cou-
dert some time ago told the following
story of Mr.. Wood: "I can remember,
looking back to early boyhood, that ven
cradle figure and recall speaking to one
of his contemporaries about him. The
person to whom spoke said, Yes,
client of mine got an opinion from
'how was it done, how much did he
charger for even in those early days
the professional instinct asserted itself.
I will tell yOu,' my friend replied.
My client went to him and said, "Mr.
Wood, l would like to have your opin-
ion on these papers. " "Give me the pa
pers and come back tomorrow, said the
great lawyer. The papers were produced
and the client departed. The next day
he presented himself before Mr.. Wood,
and the latter said, Fifty dollars, "
and nothing more. The client was in
telligent and assumed that he should
pay him that sum, which he did. After
waiting awhile he asked, "What about
my papers, Mr.. Wood?" "They are not
worth a d." replied Mr.. Wood, and
he made no further comment on the
case. ="
David Dudley Field used to relate
the following: George Wood was the
personification of logic and cold as
marble. was sitting beside him in
court one day when he arose to argue
case, and as he arose his coattails
caught the back of the chair and hung
over it. Wood stood up and spoke,
should think, for fully two hours, but
never once did those coattails move.
ION one occasion young lawyer
who had engaged George Wood to try a
case was asked, How did the judge
charge the jury? 'Oh, George Wood
charged the jury, was the reply. -

Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death

Birds driven before the wind are toss

jects and killed. Shore birds, when fac
ing gale, will take every advantage oi
trees, houses and hills as defenses
against the wind. They will close their
wings and sink so close to the ground
as to get the protecting shelter of a
hedge fence, and then swoop up again
with renewed headway. They frequent
ly advance before the gale by a series
of side evolutions, flying at right angles
to the wind until they have attained con.
siderable velocity, and then wheeling
about straight against the wind and
making some headway before it over

quently blown out to sea by a strong
hurricane, where some of them have
been picked up by fishermen. In nearly
all such instances they are caught by
the gale when high in the air, and be-
fore they can recover themselves they
are hurried out beyond the shore and
dropped into the water. With their
plumage soaked with the spray they in
stantly become helpless and cannot
reach the shore in the face of the wind.
On our inland lakes and rivers this is
more common sight than along the
ocean shore.
When once blown out to sea, the
shore birds have little chance of escape.
Unable to battle against the heavy
wind, they yield themselves to their
fate and drift about until the storm
subsidies. By that time they are likely
to be so far from shore that they cannot
reach it again, and they either fly or
swim until they starve to death or die
of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along
with those of the hapless gulls, terms
and herons, are finally drifted upon
some shore, where the waves leave them
high and dry. After every heavy storm
hundreds of such luckless victims can
be found on the beaches of our Atlantic
coast. Our Animal Friends.

CONSERVATIVES HEADS.
Medical sIan Says That rs Rule They
Are Flat Sided.

Are Flat Sided.
Consumptives have fiat sided heads
This interesting discovery has been
made by DR.. Mark l. Knapp Of New
York. His paper on the subject, read
before the New York County Medical
association, is printed in The Medical
Record
One OF the conclusions Of DR.. Knapp
is that tuberculosis can neither be in
fictitious nor communicable. This is the
opinion held by DR.. Shrady, editor Of
The Medical Record, and is the opinion
not held by DR. Wilson and his associ-
ates of the New York city board of
health.
However this deduction is regarded
by medical men generally, DR.. Knapp
does not intend to be understood as say
ing that the fact that man has fiat
sided head (called medically a plano
parietal head either already has or that
he Of necessity is doomed to have tuber-
culosis. That this assumption would be
absurd DR.. Knapp shows by saying that
centenarianS and athletes are recruited
from the ranks of the plano-parietals
Nor does he wish to be understood as
meaning that tuberculosis modifies the
contour of head which previously had
been of different shape. DIR. Knapp
says his statements are substantiated by
a few hundred cases, of which Ar were
collected from four New York hospitals
In all these cases only four exceptions
to the rule were found.
The most important conclusion
reached by DIR. Knapp is that the foun-
datiOn of tuberculosis is laid in early
life, and therefore the way to save the
adult is to guard the child

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy

troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani

urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-

If any one doubts seriously that ma

little journey into the oilfields Of Brad

Long ago this favored child-he's an
Irishman by birth and his name is
Michael Grath-discovered the folly Of
toiIing for his living Before the dis
covery he owned a little tract of land
that was as sterile and barren as a strip
OF the Jersey coast He titled and
plowed until he was wrinlllcd and bent.
and all he got was barely enough to
keep body and soul together. But one
day he found that that barren little
strip of land was OOzing with oil. He
said nothing about it, but he redoubled
his efforts, and after awhile he had
enough money saved to put down
well. He struck oil the day the ringers
threatened to quit unless they received
their pay.
The well was not gusher 1t was
what Is known i'll the oil regions as
"sman producer" and yielded Oh an
average II barrels day.
While Grath was looking about for
some method to pipe his oil the rains
came and swelled the tiny creek which
passed through his farm until its course
was changed and it flowed by his well

When she had slaved long enough for
Grath to save some money, he put down
another well, which, like the first
proved to be a small producer. The sup
ply from this well was pumped by the
same wheel into the same neighboring
tank, and the only increase in the Irish
mans labor was to charge double the
sum for the work nature was doing
1t matters little to him what the
price Of oil may be. The cost Of produc-
ton worries him not at all Even with
it down to 80 cents barrel he is sure
OF an income Of $12 per day, and that
is enough to meet all his needs When
