RUDE, BUT CONVINCING.
feter Bennett's Eloquence and the
Eject IL Had Upon the
Jury.

Burnham's Leading in Law gives
an amusing account of the trial of a
case wherein doctor sued to recover
his fee. The case was tried in Georgia
many years ago. Robert Toombs ap-
peared for the plaintiff and Alexander
d. stephens for the defendant. When
the evidence had closed Mr.. Stephens
told his client, the defendant, that the
plaintiff had made out his case, and.
as there was no offset, it was useless
to proceed further, and the best thing
the defendant could do was to pay the
doctors claim. The defendant, who
was named Peter Bennett, scorned
this advice and Indignantly replied
that he had hired Mr.. Stephens to
speak for him, and he must say some
thing. Mr.. Stephens answered that
there was nothing to say; that if Pc
ter thought he could say anything he
might address the jury himself, where
upon Peter delivered himself as fol-
lows: Gentlemen of the jury, you
and me is plain farmers, and if we
don't stick together these ere law
yers and doctors win jis skin and bury
us. This 'efe doctor was new doc
tor and went fur him to come and
doctor my wife's sore leg. He come
and he put some salve truck to it and
some rags, but never done it bit er

Peter. The doctor was silent and Pc

assays of ore from that mine returned

the number of pounds or ounces of
such ore were in sight. But that Is

1.-THE term grub stake because it is
English after a fashion, A case of an
enormously wealthy senator, now oc-

mind.
Much of his wealth is said to be the
rasult of shrewd and judicious grub
stalking of prospectors, by which he re-
ceiyed an interest, usually one half,
in whatever mines were found by the
urospector to whom he had furnished
the supplies with which to prospect.
"A miner will go prospecting on foot
or with burro with several months

frying pan. He may in fact be grub

another, maybe years elapse before he
strikes it rich,' perhaps never. But he
searches on over the trackless desert
aud through the mountain Businesses
with that sustaining confidence and
hope of some day finding pay colors
that is so characteristic of him.
Thus a partnership Is formed in
which one party furnishes the money
aud the other the legs, eyes and time
in hunting out paying claims. Hun
dredS of men in my state owe all their
wealth to this source. The late Sena-
tor George Hearst was always ready to
grub stake good man. The moneyed
partner also furnishes the capital with
which to operate the mine. The rich

grub staked prospector whose good
luck it was to find one of the most
famous of the Cripple Creek gold pro-
ducers.
The story OF the finding of this mine
is As remarkable as it is true. Many of
the great finds of Colorado have been
the result of accident. In this case

Jug stones and gravel. The little piece
of quartz he picked up led to that
spot becoming a mining camp when
