Defending IA Tramp.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"A few years before the war" said a
Steuben county, New York, citizen. "a
most disreputable-looking vagrant was arr
rested and put in Jail at Bath one day
Bath Is the county seat of old Steuben,
and there were plenty OF lawyers there
then as there are now. This vagrant had
been guilty of a serious breach Of the
peace and he tried TO engage lawyer to
defend him when his case should come up
for trial. but as he had no money he found
them an so busy that they were unable 10
take him for client At last the prison
err who was evidently a person of intelli-
gence, inquired IL there wasn't some young
lawyer in the place who hadn't had much
of an opportunity 10 distinguish himself
as yet, and might be willing to undertake
the management of his case for the chance
of getting some glory out of It, .rr 81.

the sheriff. Maybe he'd be willing to
strive for a little glory. He hasn't had

Hank Sherwood was Henry AZ Sher-
wood of Addison, who had recently been
admitted TO the Steuben county bar He
was a bright young fellow, but he was as

unfortunate tramp sent for the briefess

Now, Hank didn't take a bit Of stock
In The mans story but he made up MS

his first client. J. don't remember the

THE NEW WAVE,
Physical Culture, Pure Food ana
Drink Marks New Era.

A great popuiar pure drink and pure food
,,,ove is lust now passing over the country,
and it seems 20 have come to stay.
More attention is being given to articles
Of food and drink than heretofore, ana
neonle are slowly learning that good neaIth
cannot be preserved under the present CIV
ilization unless the habits are OF more
natural character. The apparently harm-
less coffee habit now numbers its victims
nv the thousands, producing obstinate
stomach and bowel troubles that will not
abate except by leaving off the habit.
II is not always an easy task to drop
lifetime habit.
One of the late discoveries is a pure food
coffee made entirely of grains, and pos
sessing great fattening and nourisnlhs
,,rorertfes while il brews the exact deep
seai-brown color of Mocha, and when
cream is added it takes the rich golden

hostile power is at war.
The first actual movement of a colony
occurred to-day when 142 Spanish residents

tive measures to prevent these indignities
from assuming a serious form.

FLORIDA WANTS FORTS.
Also Asks for Small Arms to RepuIse
Marauding Parties.


Marauding Parties.
Washington, April 1S.-Among Secretary
Ayers visitors to-day were. Senators Pas
co and Mallory of Florida, who are urging
the war department to push the fortifica-
tons work on the Florida coast.
They also asked that the war depart
ment allot to the citizens of the state, par
ticularly those along the coast, a quantity
of small arms for use in equipment of such
militia as may be without these require
ments of defense.
AS Florida promises to be a theater of
hostilities in the event of war, the author
tiles evidently fear the incursion of small
marauding parties from ships along the
immense stretch of coast, and feel that
some means should be devised of protec-
ton from them.
Tomorrow delegation from Fenandina
is to come before the secretary to urge
that the Notifications for that place be i'm
