An Ancient Relic.

Mrs. G. III. Foster, one of Missouri
Valleys pioneer citizens, brought with
her on her return from the east, g few
days ago, an ancient relic, entitled:
Connecticut Evangelical Magazine. I"
1t was edited by Elijah ParsonsAA. NJ;
Chas. Backus, A. NJ; David Ety.A.
M; Nathan Strong, A. M; Nathan
Perkins, A. M; Abel Flint, A. M; and
q host of others equally talented. 1t
was published by Hudson & Goodwin.
Hartford, Conn.,, for the editors, and
the first number was published in
July, 1900.
1t consists of twelve numbers; one
for each month of the year; and the
profits that arose from the work were
used for the purpose of creating a
permanent fund; interest of the money
arising from the funds after properly
invested to be used for the support of
missions in the the then new Ameri.
can settlements, and among the heath
ems at that time.
1t bears the mark of rife bullet,
having gone all the way through the
book and came out the opposite side,
as 1t is bound in book form, the pages
about as large as Sunday school
lesson leaf of the present time. 1t is
bound with sleeps skin. One pc
culiar thing about the composition is
that rs are used for 8; for instance If
we would wish to say: "thus things
passed on;" it would be written:
"thuf thingf patred on"
1t is clearly and purely religious
magazine aud all the obsolete and other
wise ancient names of the different
powers Of that time are mentioned
by the many eminent editors Of that
day. 1t also shows the same reliance
and dependence upon the Deity as has
always characterized our pioneer
settlers. 1t is generally supposed that
some one of the generals in the war of
1912 was carrying this book, and while
in his possession, q bullet from the
enemy pierced its folds.
Mrs. Foster, presented the work to
r. H. Harris, upon her return from
Vermont. 1t is a highly priced relic
and the donor no doubt, regards the
gift with less enviousness than does
the recipient. 1t would be interesting
to tell our readers, who had once had
possession of the memoir, but that We
cannot do, to our regret.

CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
A Man Who Believed in Paying a Lawyer for His
 Opinion.

The other day an old fellow slouehed into Attorney Oscar kahn's office, on Legal row. and introduced himself as MT. Smith, Jones, Brown, or something, of neighboring coun- ty.. He said he wanted to consult a lawyer, and was accorded a seat and one of the at torneyzs sweetest smiles.
 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 lawyer about it.
 What is the amount of taxes?" inquired the lawyer.
 "Lemme see-a dollar and 28 cents" was the reply
 The lawyer could not conceal a smile, but hastened to say: Well, Nlr. Simth, If you want my advice, it is to go back and settle that small amount. It looks like the easiest and best way out of 1t"
 The old fellow thought a moment, and re piled that he believed he would. Answering he asked: How much do l owe you?o
 "0h, nothing, sir, was the reply. q won't charge you anything for little advice like that"
 But I allus pays fer whut I git, and want ter pay yer jes' the same.'
 "0h, that's all right; come in again some time when you need advice on something more important, and we'll square 1t then
 Nav, but 1 want ter pay 1t now. Jes squeal out. Elf it's 9 cents, I'll pay 1t. Elf ye want 30, there 1t isi' And he threw down a halfdollar and left.-Paducah (ky) Sun

THE HOTEL POTENTATE.
One of the old Sort Who Wore the Air of a Monarch of the
 Highest Order.

When I was in business with ". C. Coup, the famous circus man." said Mir. J. A. Whyte, the impresario, I've once had occasion to make a business trip to the northwest, and stayed week or Co in a certain big city, the nanre of which isn't essential to the story. We put up at the leading hotel, which is one of the finest and best known in the United States, and would have enjoyed ourselves if 1t hadn't been for the head clerk. He was one of a breed that has since become obsolete-thank heaven!- a haughly, disdainful potentate, who con- sidered 1t beneath his dignity to show the slightest courtesy to any of the guests of the house. Mir. Coup, as all who knew him will confirm, was a polished man of the world, totally careless of money, never com blaming, but accustomed to punctilious service. He bumped against the majestic ruler of the register several times and en- dured his atfronts in silence. At last he told me quietly to secure quarters at another hotel, which l was only too glad to do. l reported that arrangements had been made, and he went down to settle our account. What is our bill, MT. King" he asked suavely My names not King, snapped the clerk. and proceeded to figure up the amount Coup took out his pocEetbook Strange, he said pensiyely, but l have been under the impression all along that your name was King Well, my name ain't King, retorted the clerk, and don't know how you got that idea Nor l, , said Coup,
 unless it was because you act so much like one. "-N. O. Times Democrat.
