DEyOURING THE "NEwS" PROPHEsIES

NOT so STUPID.
The Old Man Had n Good Reason for
Telling the Traveller to
Walk On.
ITO BE CONTINUED ]

1t was an old man in Sweden who
gave to stranger an answer that was
wiser than it appeared. The stranger,
one of a prospecting party searching
for gold, had wandered away from the
rest, to find himself at last with fair
piece of quartz as a reward for his
pains, in a region he knew nothing of,
with no guide, and night coming on.
Friend" he asked of an old man
smoking in his doorway, show long
will it take me to walk to the next
town."
The old man eyed the speaker quiz
zically.
walk on" he said, with wave Of
his hand in the right direction.
"Yes, | know which road; but how
long will it take te to walk there ?'
asked the stranger again.
Walk on" repeated the smoker, stol-
idly.
"But can't you tell me how long it
will take me to reach the town." per-
sisted the other, impatiently.
Walk on" third time directed the
old man, and the stranger did walk on,
inwardly anathematizing the stupidity
of the smoker.
Young man." called the resident,
when the stranger had gone a few
yards.
He turned impatiently.
Il just wanted to tell you, that if you
keep up that gait you'll get there in
half an hour"
"Why couldn't you say so before ?"
demanded the stranger, hotly.
The old man removed the pipe from
his mouth, blew volume of smoke
skyward, and answered coolly:

ONLY A BRAKEMAN.

Awful the shock when the engines met;
All was terror. confusion. din;
None who saw It will e'er forget
The picture that daylight ushered in.
Shattered fragments OF iron and steel.
Splintered wood and battered brass
Mingled with broken rod and wheel
And some ones blood stained the wayside

Some ones body. all crushed and torn,
Covered with wounds, bereft of breath,
Was found meath the wreck; the jacket
worn
Told how a brakeman had met his death.
Some one wept when the news was borne;
Some one mourned DER the mangled dead,
In line of duty from some one torn
Yet "only a brakeman" the papers said.
Sadly they buried him 'reath the sod.
Then took the Grape from the cottage

Over a grave the roses nod
The grave of a brakeman whose run is

QUALIFIED FOR PRACTICE.
The Advice of n Young Lawyer That
saved His Client from
Damage suit.

Hes a natural-born lawyer" o.
said, talking to a group of profession
men the other afternoon, and then h,A
told the story of how the mails that
morning had made glad young law
yer who had not been engaged in ac-
tive practice very long, though admit
ted to the bar number of years. When
he opened the mail there fluttered out
a check that had the figures $3.50 in
one corner and the name of a man
at the business end that made the bit
of paper as good rs though it bore the
certfcation of the cashier of the First
national bank. 1T was the story of how
one breach of promise case came to
be settled out of court. The man
whose name was at the bottom of the
check was the one who would have
been the defendant but for the young
lawyers advice, and this is the story
as it was told:
The man in trouble had gone to the
young lawyer because he had known
him for some time and told his
troubles; he had been indscreet; he
thought he loved her, but he found out
several weeks too late that he was mis-
taken; no, he didn't want to marry
her, but she persisted and he couldn't
stand the ignominy of a threatened
breach of promise suit; besides, he had
written some exceedingly foolish let
ters. Her family was very respectable
and all that, and really there wasn't
any objection, only he didn't like the
girl. Her family stood high in church
rir rpl irrin bo
n model girl
Then it was that the young law
yer's natural-born genius asserted it
self.
LET your beard grow for a week or
ten days" said he. Then put on some
old clothes and muss them up. Go
out and take a number of drinks. Eat
a lot of onions and limburger cheese,
and then go up to the house. Don't wait
for her to open the door, but rush in,
or, better still, tumble in. Throw your
arms around hsr and tell her she's the
only girl you ever loved and insist on
getting married without moments
delay and then let me know the re-
suit"
The result was the $3.50 check and
the letter.
Dear - it read. 81 am sorry to
inform you that the wedding has been
indefinitely postponed. After that little
talk of ours / fixed up and carried out

and then she said she was glad she
had found me out before it was too
late. | don't remember very much
