tho thing much as they would have

other matter They left the punishment
to the father Of the murdered girl. They
furnished the murderer with Il Bible

The practical extinction Of the buck
wheat cake of our fathers must be laid
at the door of the miller. He Is accused
of mixing with buckwheat -four wheat
bran and shorts In the interests Of
economy, For while the adulterution
was nndetected, but gradually consum.
ers began to complain that the buck
wheat cakes don't taste any more like
they used to do In the good old days
back on the farm, and people began to
stop buying buckwheat flour. As the
demand fell off. the farmers raised less
ana less buckwheat. \ race of homes;
millers, cooperating with the farmers,
might raise the buckwheat cake to its
former proud position.

4 competent referee has reported
that the services OF a lawyer In a case
for which the disciple OF Blackstone
put In u bill for $1,000 were actually
worth no more than $500. II may not
be easy for an attorney who sets so
high an estimate upon his qualiflca lions
and efforts to find clients hereafter.
Overcharges of few hundred per
cent may be expected now and then ut
the bar, but to ask $1,000 In cOmpen-
satiOn when one-tftieth of that amount
would have been a fair remuneration
passes the bounds of patience.

Horses. cards ana women" There
seems little else to say In the case OF
defaulting Cashier Brown, of the New
port QiyJ bank. The story Is old
much too old. Many sermons and many
columns of editorials will not make
palmer to people the fact that. II n man
sows the wind, he must reap the whlrl-
wind. Brown Is reaping the whrlwind
after his career of vice, In the mean
time the moralist pOnders over the mat
