CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
4 Man Who Believed In Paying q
Lawyer for His
Opinion.

The other day an old fellow slouched into
Attorney Oscar Kahn's office, on Legal row
and introduced himself as Mr.. Smith, Jones
Brown, or something, of neighboring coun
ty. he said he wanted to consult lawyer
and was accorded a seat and one of the at
torney's sweetest smiles.
He then explained that while he was away
from home the sheriff or some deputy had
attached his wife's sewing machine and
bureau for taxes. He didn't propose to
tolerate such imposition, he declared, and
came to Paducah to consult a lawyer
about it.
"What is the amount of taxes?" inquired
the lawyer.
"Lemme sea dollar and 2S cents" was
the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal smile. but
hastened to say: well, Mr.. Simth, il you
want my advice, it is to go back and settle
that small amount. 1t looks like the easiest
and best way out OF it,"
The old fellow thought moment, and re.
piled that he believed he would. Answering
he asked: 'How much do owe you%
"0h, nothing, sir" was the reply 81
wont charge you anything for little advice
like that"
"But allus pays fer whut git, and want
ter pay yer jes' the same"
"Oh, that's all right; come in again some
time when you need advice on something
more important, and we'll square it then"
NAV, but | want ter pay it now. Jes'
squeal out III it's 25 cents, I'll pay it. III
ye want 50, there it isl" And he threw
down half-dollar and left.-Paducah (Kv.)

aCould the murderer have had the
body cremated in another city?"
Easier than here, and he had ample
time" said Hendricks in the tone of
man in deep and perpleXed thought.
HE might have had little trouble in
shipping the body, but to get the ashes
back here would be very simple thing.
would not be surprised at any develop
ment in this affair There is one point
that bobs up here which is so puzzling
that it almost drives me insane"
"What is that?" asked the doctor
at is this" answered the detective.
"You see, Caruthers had been out of the
city-or rather was believed to have left
New York ten days before l got my
anonymous note telling me where l
could find his remains. Now, If the
writer believed that would get the
communication without delay the ashes
were in Caruthers' apartments week
before l got back from Boston,"
"Of course" said Lampliin, in the au-
tomato tone of one who speaks before
dcliberation. Then he CALCULATED with
force; "0h, yes, certainly"
But said Hendricks, with strong
emphasis on the word, "if the hell
scorched demon has had free access to
my Office, as l think be has had to my
dining-room, then he could have seen
the communication which he had
mailed me lying on my desk during my
absence. 1t may really have been part
of his plan to have mailed that letter,
knowing I wouldn't get it at once"
"But for what reason?' asked the
doctor.
ITO throw ne off the track as to
time" said Hendricks. 81 said the
other day that this would prove the
chief crime of all my experience. l am
now afraid that it may actually be my
Waterloo. l have never dealt with
such wonderful tact and boldness com
bind The chief reason for my bel;ev-
ing that he was on to my movements is
that Gie,ow did not leave until the night
discovered the ashes"

MISSING VACANCIES.
There Was n Box of Them and They
We're Held by the Agent
for Charges.

A short time since quite discussion arose
among the officials of one of our prominent
southern railroads as to the reason of the
many vexatious delays and troubles in the
Transmission Of local freight. 1t was claimed
by some of the parties interested that it was
caused almost entirely by the stupidity or
inetticiency of the local agents, and as there
was some difference OF opinion on this point,
it was decided that the matter should be
tested.
To this end tracer was prepared in due
and formal shape, calling for the where.
abouts of Zone Box of Post-holes," which it
alleged was missing from prior shipment.
This was sent out in the regular order Of
business, with nothing except its internal
nothingness" to draw attention to its I'm.
usual character, and passed agent after
agent without elicting comment or informa.
ton save the stereotyped Endorsement:
"Not here"
Some Is or IS local agents were actually
passed in this way, until the tracer fell
into the hands Of bright young fellow
who was accustomed to looking into the
business passing through his hands, and
who speedily came to the conclusion that
the tracer had gone far enough. At any
rate the document went speedily back to
the general office with the following in.
dorsemont: "Box of Post-holes, as per in.
closed, held at this station for local charge.
to amount Of $3.50 Will be forwarded on
receipt Of same" Under this Endorsement
was written: IN, B.-The price of beer al
this station Is $3.50 per keg" It is said that
the charges went forward.-Hsrper's Mag

Frightened Heifer Creates Diversion

A runaway heifer plunged into the
large plate-glass window at the bicy-
Gle establishment of the Little Joe

of Baltimore and Howard streets, Balti-
more, the other night. Besides smash
ing the glass window and upsetting ar

side glass door of the window, together
with the woodwork, and after upset
ting two bicycles walked complacently
up and down the store and gazed
out at the large crowd of persons who
had been attracted to the scene.
The heifer was one of herd of 16
cattle which became frightened at the
corner of Pratt and Eutaw streets while
being driven from Light street wharf
to the Claremont stock yards.
A message was sent 10 Mr.. Wiesen-

Before submitting to the halter the
heifer butted through the screen
around Mr.. Wiesenfeld's private Office.
