Hired Webster for s Week.

OF course Webster was in demand
by those who could afford to pay for
his services. A sharp Nantucket man
is said to have got the better of the
great defender of the Constitution in
an amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried in
Nantucket one week in June, and he
posted to Websters Office in great
haste. 1t was a contest with neigh
Dor over matter Of considerable local
interest, and his pride as litigant
was at stake. He told Webster the
particulars, ard asked what he would
charge to conduct the case.
why" said Webster, "you cant
afford to hire me. I should have to
stay down there the whole week, and
my fee would be more than the whole
case is worth. I couldn't go down
there for less than 81 900. [ Icould try
every case on the docket as we'll as
one, and it wouldn' t cost any more, for
one case would take all my time for
the entire week. anyway
"All right, Mr.. Webster quickly
responded the Nantucketer. Here's
your 81, 1000. You come down, and
I'll fix it so you can try every case. y
Webster was so much amused over
this proposition that he kepthis word.
He spent the entire week in Nam
tucket, and appeared on one side or
the other in every case that came up
for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer
hired Daniel out to all his friends who
we're in litigation, and received in re-
turn about $1,000, so that he got
Webster's services for nothing, and
made good profit to boot.
If that man was alive in these days
of trusts and syndicates he would
probably be at the head Of legal
trust, controlling the services Of all
the big lawyers Of the country.-Bos-
tom Herald.

coast and down the eastern side OF the
peninsula, thus reinforcing the native
sands Of the State.
Toward the southern edge Of the
peninsula corals made reefs, and the
wide flats behind them we're gradually
filed with silt from the waters Of the
central valley and limestone deposited
from che calciferous waters Of the
drainage, thus forming the vast
marshes Of the Everglades. The sands
from the seashore blew inland before
the trade winds, masking the original
topography, and raising here and there
substantial dunes. Then all was ready
for the advent Of man, attracted by
the wealth of fur, fish and fruit, who
should, in the lapse Of centuries, make
a garden Of the wilderness.
With the exception Of the gentle
elevation it would seem that the vol
canic disturbances Of the West Indian
region, and the geographic mountain
building forces Of the continent have
alike passed by, or failed to reach, the
main area of the State, which has re-
NAMED in tranquility, rarely much
higher than at the present time, and
remarkable as the sole portion Of the
United States where the country rock
is almost exclusively Of organic origin,
and has been modified by solutionary
instead of detrital agencies.
SUCH, in brief, is the geological his
tory of Florida and the source Of its
phosphate wealth, as read from the
evidence of the rock. Though neces-
sarily in part hypothetical, no other
hypothesis in harmony with all the
facts has yet been proposed, and the
writer believes that future study will
hardly do more than confirm the details
of the processes whose bold outlines
have been. suggested here.
