in that direction. Another very
much needed and easily obtained inn
proyement, is good public well, and
water enough near Or. WatsOn's Office
where an inexhaustible supply could
be got at less than twelve feet, and by
putting up a good tank as we see in
many Michigan towns, and a good
windmill, we would have some fire

AN AGED VETERAN.
A Detroit Veteran Talks of
the War and the Legacy
it Left Him.

When the annual reunion of the G.. A.
r. is held Michigan is well represented.
Around the fires of the encGmpment
our boys tell of the hardships they have
gone through and the listener who
knows nothing Of war will wonder how
they lived to tell. Few men who fol-
lowed old glory through shot and shell
returned home without some legacy as
constant reminder of their war days.
Our represen, alive found Veteran o. Z.
Newcomb of Detroit at his place of res
idence. No. 237. Second street. Mr.. New
comb told him how the little conqueror
had rendered him invaluable service.
We give his account here and some
words of advice tersely spoken. He said:
"A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the bodies Of 20 dead
mules is not tempting water TO drink.
but was one of the many who drank OF
1t. and all of us would have done SO il We
had know there was death in every drop.
This illustrates but one of the hardships
and p.1vations passed through during
the civil war, and il is no wonder that
the G.. A. X. men suffer from aches and
pains, the most prevalent OF them being
kidney disorders. l nm pleased TO note
that a great many others who passed
through as trying ordeals as have cow
learned that these troubles can be miti-
gated. When / say that Doan's Kidney
Pills will cure them / not only speak
from experience but from observation.
To ali old soldiers or anyone suffering
from kidney complaint, my advice is TO

A Sunreme Court Jest.

An eminent lawyer, one or the most
eminent in the United States, was in
the midst Of an argument In defense OF
the patent rights Of his client to a
newfangled collar button that was be-
ing unlawfully manufactured by the
people on the other side of the case.
The distinguished counsel was describ-
ing the patent referred to and its many
advantages when Justice Shiras inter-
rupted him and in a most serious man.
ner observed:
IL should like to ask the learned coun-
sci If his client manufactures collar
button that won't roll under the bed"
OF course the court was shocked.
Some young people in the seats re-
served for spectators Uttered, and the
marshal, rapping on his desk with his
gavel, roared, "Silence in this honora-
BILE COURT The eminent counsel main
tanned his gravity, although bis soul
must have been deeply stirred, and had
presence of mind enough to turn the
incident to his own advantage, saying
with emphasis:
81 have the honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured by
my client is unique in that as well as
in other respects, but my client would
not be so selfish as to patent so impor-
tant a benefit to mankind"

The Nut,,a.ea BiIl swindIe.

The antiquity of a swindle rarely
hnterferes with it's success If 1t De
skillfully managed, else one confidence
game that has recently been played
here probably would never have been
revived. 1t depends on the practice or
hhe United States government In re-
deeming any part Of torn bill for the
amount Of money it represents. Inc
value of part of bill Is very exactly
determined by means of an apparatus
which measures the fragment OF the
bill with the greatest accuracy. This
mechanism prevents anybody from get
ting In return for part Of a torn bill
any more than it is really worth.
That fact is not generally known,
and 1t is the ignorance of the public
in the matter that has lately made
possible the success of a we'll dressed
swindler who has been operating down
town. He has with him parts Of a $40
bill bearing the bill number. He ex-
plains TO walters, barkeepers, cashiers
and similar persons that he is too busy
TO 60 to the subtreasury and redeem
the bill for which he could secure the
full value. He offers for that reason
TO dispose Of the torn piece for a small
sum and has succeeded in getting from
50 10 81 for fragments of bill that
could never be redeemed for more than
half those sums.
The purchasers, of course, had conf
dence in the mistaken theory that the
full value of bill would be paid at
the treasury for any part of it, how
ever small the section might be. By
dividing q SO bill into five or six pieces
and selling them on such liberal terms
this form of swindling may be made
very proftable.-New York Sun.
