TIME LOST
An Instructive Fable by Dear Old
Uncle Ell.


Uncle Ell.
Copyright. 1900. by C. B. Lewis.l
One day as the Sage was passing
along n highway he came upon several
Travellers who were standing around
the body of a man lying upon the earth.
what Is this?" asked the wise man
as he looked about.
1--WE cannot agree as to the man ly-
Ing here" replied one Of the Travellers.
81 contend that. being n Traveller like
myself. he should not pay a poll tax"
"And / contend that, being n Peas
ant, he must pay the tax" added q
second.
"Under the law he must be a Travel
err"
Under the law he must be n Peas
ant"
Thus they argued and wrangled and
discussed, and the Sage looked down
at the man In silence. 1t was finally
agreed to leave il to the wise man to
decide, and he lifted up his voice and
said:
my dear friends, you may cease
your wrangling and go your ways in
peace While you have been arguing
the question the poor man has died Of
starvation, and he is therefore neither
a Traveller nor a Peasant, but a cold
corpse"

The youth explained he was short or

sought the banker to tell him what 10 do.
Mr.. Clews paused a moment. then said:
well, l have known fit TO be profit

The youth. with great show OF anger,
demanded an explanation.

"At 1890 he was loser to the extent of
nearly million dollars. Suddenly he had

and strongest operators I'm the market,

the introduction of two new verses, es-
pecially appropriate to the newly annexed

With glad acclaim:
Here may sweet freedom rest
on isles supremely blest.
Where peace writes on the west

Hin being accepted as her surety.
II Is alleg>l by Rogers that before Hill
had been bail for Mrs. Gavitt any
great length of time he caused her TO be
apprehended and brought into court. She
managed to get other bail however.
Mr.. Rogers also asserts that on Feb 2lst
1899. Hill requested him TO pay him 800
for the attorney In the case and that he
complied with the request.
Again Mr.. Rogers charges that on
March 30th. 1900, Hill said he had been TO
see the attorney general and had on a
paper all the items OF expense In the
case
This paper was as follows according to
Rogers:
Mary Gavitt--N. case fine. $50; n. case
costs. $72: / sale. $50: sale costs, $50; 1
sale, $50; 1 sale costs, $50; total, $500. Paid
The payment OF $500 would settle the
whole trouble Hill Is reported TO lave
state. The 1922 was paid
Another statement is that Hill falsely
represented that the attorney wanted $40
more. This money, IL Us admitted, was
paid TO the attorney, but It is asserted
the 500 previously obtained for the attor-
ney was not paid him, but was kept by
Hill.
The cases against Mary Gavitt all re-
main unsettled, and hang over her. Hill
never did anything TO settle them, Rogers
says. although he was fully paid for any
trouble or labor In the matter
Rogers also asserts that Hill never In
tended To settle the cases. and that he
never got from the attorney general
statement of the costs In the cases.
The statement is made that the costs
were much less than Hill asserted they
were. and that every step taken by Hill
was taken with an intent TO defraud the
plaintiff for the benefit OF Hill
Irving Champlin is counsel for the
plaintiff.
