EASY WAY TO ADJUST A DISPUTE.

A good lawyer learns many lessons
in the school of human nature: and
thus 1t was that Lawyer Hackett did
not fear to purchase the tract of land
which had been 'lawed over for years.
says the Lewiston Journal.
Some of the people wondered why he
wanted to get hold OF property with
such an incubus of uncertainty upon it.
Others thought that perhaps he want
ed some legal knitting work. and would
pitch i'm red hot TO fight that line fence
question ON his own hook.
That's what the owner Of the adjoin-
ing land Thought. So he braced him
self for trouble when he saw Hackett
coming across the fields one day.
Said Hackett: Whats your claim
here. anyway. as to this fence?"
II insist" replied the neighbor.
that your fence lis over on my and
two feet at one end and one foot at

The man paused abashed. He had
been ready To commence the old strug-
Cle tooth and nail. but this move of

TURNING THREE SOMeRSAULTS.

The most difficult acrobatic feat In
the world Is TO throw a triple somer-
sault. The double is comparatively
easy. But To describe three complete
circles in the air with the body is "a big
ger feat than the most expert acrobat
of the day cares TO undertake. Only
three men have accomplished it, al
though dozens have lost their lives IN
making the attempt. says Stray Stories
To perform "A triple somersault one
would of course. have TO jump from A
spring board hgh enough To be able 10
turn three times before alighting. and

power To leap any higher than is neces-
sary 10 accomplish a double. The

one of the three acrObats who have |
already accomplished the great feat re- |
fused to try il again, being assured |
that his lighting on his feet was an ac-
cident. as he could not control his body |
after turning the second time.
Another undertook the feat for wa
ger of $3.50. In his first attempt he
turned three times. but alighted on his
hands. Everybody was satisfied with
the result. and the money was tender
ed him. He refused IL. saying that the
feat had not been perfectly accomplish

20 repeat IL and fell on his head, dfslo-

CONTRARY to a good deal OF popu-
lar opinion, the chief of the bureau OF
ethnology ait Washington brings facts
TO support the conclusion that. general
ly speaking. man is improving physi-
cally as well as intellectually i'm this
age of high pressure. He considers that
physically the men OF today are on the
whole vastly superior to their fathers of
any age and that the future of the
race is bright for still further physical
and mental development. The average
American of today is a taller and sturd-
icr specimen than existed at the time
the nation was founded. the insurance
Aables allow for constant ratio OF in
crease in longevity and the modern
Englishman or even the Frenchman
cannot squeeze into the armor that his
ancestors wore and that made men
look such giants in the picture books
and histories. Moreover, il is pretty
weH demonstrated that the civilized
white race IL superior physically to the
now nearly extinct savage races in
their prime and that, os all the peoples
of the earth, the American has a slight
advantage In stature and strength over
any other nationality the Englishman !
or Russian being next. All this is very |
satisfactory.

THE loss of our jaunty little cruiser
Charleston seems To have been unac-

Ding features. She simply went aground
on a reef off the island of Luzon and
sank in good order affording officers and
crew ample opportunity to get ashore
first. She is the first of our war vessels
TO be lost by wreck since the Kearsargs
went down on Roncador reef.
