DEFENDED THE WRONG CLIENT
Amusing BIunder of a Leading Austria
liam Solicitor.

An amusing incident is reported to
have occurred recently in the district
court of Melbourne, Australia. The
list of cases for hearing included two
charges of a similar character. When
the first defendant was called lead
ing Melbourne solicitor announced
that he appeared for the defense, and
for nearly half an hour he strove to
convince the court that the charge
should not be sustained In spite Of
the counsels able arguments the court
decided to inflict fine. and called
upon the next defendant to say why he
should not be dealt with in a like
manner. The solicitor. putting from
the effects Of vigorous speech. wiped
his brow and leaned back in his chair
with an air of satisfaction that his
client had escaped so lightly. Just
then the name of the second defendant
was called, and the lawyer sprang to
his feet as though electrified. Great
heavens!" he exclaimed, in a voice
that was audible throughout the court.
1--WE been defending the wrong man."
In his perturbation the learned gentle
man seized his silk hat, and in a di-
vided mind as to whether he should
set chase after his late client or remain
and defend the man who had Just
stepped forward placed it on his head.
Hats off" roared a constable as coun-
sci remained on his feet, staring in dis
may around the court Your wor
ships" he said, removing the offend
ing belltopper, this is my client. The
defendant who has just left the court
did not engage me and has paid me no.
fee." The announcement was too
much for the gravity of the court, and
for a moment or two the court room
echoed with laughter. The case was
soon disposed of, and the legal gentle
man then hurried from the building in
search of his quondam client and the
fee that should have been his.

where Jen Davis Courted.

When Gen. Zachary Taylor was in
command at Fort Knox, near Vincen-
mes, Ind, Jefferson Davis, afterward
president of the southern confederacy,
was lieutenant in the army, and was
with his company at the fort. Tradi-
ton has it that Davis and Miss Tay-
lor, whom he afterward married, took
strolls upon the prairie near the fort,
and that they often seated themselves
upon a large stone which lay on a
knoll some distance away. 1t Is said
that while seated thus one day Davis
proposed marriage to Miss Taylor and
was accepted. Davis and Miss Taylor
were married at Vincennes, and them
selves told of the courtship on the
stone. To commemorate the romantic
incident Mrs. H. ]. Rabb of Vincennes
has caused the stone to be removed to
the house where it is now to be seen.

CON" MEN.
And thu simple Way In Which The,
AIIay the Dups's suspicious.

you noticed in the papers, perhaps,
said one Of the Chicago detectives her,
for Mardi Gras, that young fellow
from Kentucky had been beaten out OF
a couple of hundred dollars by a conf
dence man last Tuesday night. The
sharper had scraped an acquaintance,
borrowed the money until he could ger
thousand-dollar bill changed and
left the poor dupe waiting on the side,
walk while he stepped into the st.
Charles to speak to the clerk. OF.
course, he never came back, and in
those general features there is moth
ing very remarkable about the case,
but there was one little detail in con-
nection with 1t that impressed me as
being highly significant. Before leav-
ing his victim on the sidewalk the CON
fidence man handed him his overcoat.
Just hold this for minute, will you,
old man.? he said, and thereupon pro-
ceeded to disappear. Now, that over
coat incident was really the meat or
the whole affair. II the young Ken
tuckian hadn't been requested to guard
the garment he would never have per-
mitted the other fellow to get out OF
his sight until he paid back the $500
he had borrowed earlier in the even
ing. But the shabby old overcoat,
worth about rs cents at junk shop,
inspired him with unlimited conf
dence, and l may say without exag-
geration that I've known the same
kind of a dodge to be worked success
fully in at least forty different cases.
In every instance the dupe was given
something to hold. There used to be
noted confidence man up around my
home, known as Smooth Eddie Burns,
who made a speciality of swindling
countrymen. He always carried an
old-fashioned blue bingham umbrella
with an ebony handle, very respecta-
ble-looking umbrella, and when he ex-
cused himself for moment after max
ing the usual borrow, he would request
his victim to look after it until he re-
turned. They say Burns used to buy
those umbrellas by the gross, and by
the time his career came to a close
you could find at least one Of them in.

Lovers Spread Smallpox.

Another case of smallpox has devel-
oped among the students of Indiana
University at Bloomington, the result
of a clandestine meeting of lovers. A
few weeks ago several young men were
quarantined, and one of them escaped
guard and took frequent promenades
with Miss Stevens. A few days later
Miss Stevens was taken i'll with vario-
loid, and her roommate, Miss Clara
Davis, also grew i'll of what the physi-
clans pronounced a light form OF
smallpox. Hoping to escape quaran-
tine, she left for Bluffton, but upon
arrival there was prevailed upon to
return to bloomington. She went at
once to the secretary of the board of
health and explained the situation,
when she was given room.

killed pigeon. The head of the patient
to be treated is shaved and then the
breast of the pigeon is ripped open by
the operator" and the warm and
bleeding carcass Immediately applied
to the barred skull. The believers in
this cruel and senseless cure imagine
that all fever is drawn out of the body
by the hot lifeblood and the quivering
flesh OF the pigeon. The extraordinary
thing is that faith in the cure is wide
spread and recourse to it frequent. DR..
Legue, who has thoroughly investigat-
ed the matter, has been able to obtain
the address of a shop in the Central
market at which nothing else is sold
but live pigeons destined to this
strange purpose The business done is
so brisk that the late proprietor, Nine.
Michel, has been able to retire, after
making small fortune. Her successor
declares that the pigeon cure is consid
cred a sovereign remedy for influenza,

yer, but in this instance two pigeons
