One of the venerable members OF
the bar was circuit judge much
earlier in his career and tells this
among the many interesting incidents
of that time:
Il went once to hold court in n new
county of the northern part of the
state where the transcripts from JUS
tees courts were usually incompre-
hensible and where little concession
was made to forms of law in running
the judicial machinery A man who
appeared as Indifferent as though JUS
tice were a thing unknown to him
was brought before me charged with
selling whisky to Indians.
Guilty or not guilty| l inquired,
after the nature of the charge had
been explained to him.
Hain't it jest leete early to de-
eide that, jedge.'
II repeated the question sternly, but
he stood mute.
Enter n plea of not guilty, Mr..
Clerk, ! continued
W htii bi'ltN -tis JNAiEf, anu Nllc
fellow started for the door
Changed yer mind, have yer,
iedgeY when he was brought back.
Thought yer said was not guilty
Il explained, and then asked him IL
he had lawyer
no. | hain't, iedge. I've stumped
This here hull durn section and can't
find Il lawyer in it. Atween you and
me- jedge, | don't see no way but ter
drap this doggone thing. Me or you
either hain't got no time ter fool
away
II certainly hadn't. and he was re-
manded to await the tender mercies
Of the next judge that came along

1T WAS so EASY.
He Was Sorry He Did Not Ride the
Entire Distance.


Though elevators are not new, they
are new TO a whole lot of persons. An
old fellow from somewhere Is the eli
ent of a lawyer who recently removed
his office from the first floor of an old
building on Grant street to the thir-
teenth floor of modern office build
ing. The old fellow came in to see
him, and after much trouble found the
building. His legs were stiff and his
stairs BY the time he reached the
fourth floor he declared that he would
take his business out of the hands of
the man who was so unreasonable as
at the fifth floor and would have turn
ed back if it wasn't that he wanted to
pay off his lawyer that very day and
retain one with an office on the ground
up. He couldn't go any higher He
sat on the steps and watched the ele
vators going up and down and noticed
that they were well filed. He rea-
soned that since scarcely any person
used the stairway. the fare on the ele
vator could not be high, and he could
hardly be accused of extravaganza if
ha rode the rest Of the way. since there
would be no necessity for him to come
to the building again. So he hailed
one of them.
How muchll you charge To take me
TO the thirteenth floor?" he asked the
young man who seemed to be in
charge.
Get in here!' ordered the young fell
low, as he seized him by the coat,
pulled him into the ear, and started
up. II can't stand there answerin
fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out
you go! Move lively. nowr'
'H'much?' asked the old chap, un-
tying the shoe string that held his wal
let.
But the door was slammed in his
face and the car disappeared
"Thunderationr exclaimed the old
fellow; IF I'd known that | might
stole a ride all the way up
His lawyer explained the matter to
him. and while the old man thought it
was mighty handy. he said it looked
a good deal like imposing on people TO
be riding up and down free all the
time.

bad management keeps more
people in poor circumstances than
any other one cause. TO be success
full is to look ahead and plan ahead
so that when a favorable opportunity
presents itself he is ready to take adj
vantage of it. A little forethought
will also save much expense and val
liable time. A prudent and careful
man will keep bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy in the house. the shiftless
fellow will wait until necessity
compels it and then ruin his best
horse going for doctor and have a
big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
paws out q cents, the other Is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer
while he is getting poorer. For sale

A man who takes a great inter
est in religious matters was in
church with his wife one Sunday
recently, says Peck's sun, and he
looked so very grave that his wife
thought he was interested in the
sermon When they were outside
she asked him what he was thinking
about during the sermon. He said,
"You know | have to hook up your
dress for you every morning, those
hooks on the back of your neck.
Well, | saw nine women in front of
me with the same kind of collars
that hook up in the back, and ! won

of business by going around to the
different houses every morning and
hook up dresses at so much hook.
The wife wouldn't speak to him all
the way home.
