Several of the lawyers had told their
stories, some of which ridiculed the
continued use Of legal verbiage and the
absurd lengths to which members of
the profession sometimes go in taking
advantage of technicalities.
"a rank outsider" announced the
member of the profession who had
been a good listener, "a client of mine,
supplied the best instance Of literal in
depreciation that ever came to my
knowledge. He was executor under a
will that, among other provisions, re-
quired the payment of an annuity to
venerable aunt of the testator. But
proof of her being alive must be made
before each payment, and this is the
rock on which the executor struck.
'The old lady proved herself in the
flesh, drew her money and went to Cal
ifornia, where she spent two years
return she went in person and demand
ed the double allowance due her.
"The conscientious executor got out
the will, studied it, scratched his head
and finally handed down his opinion:
Madam, you are alive now. There
can be no reasonable question as to
that, for l have the conclusive evidence
of my own eyes. But l am possessed
of no legal proof that you were alive
year ago. | am, as you know, within
the restrictions of the WILL l will pay
the annuity for this year, but must in
sist upon satisfactory affidavits that
you were not dead when the preceding
annuity was passed.

to convince him that he should settle

BUSINESS OF THE soAKER.


An Expert In PawnbroIxing Who Has
His Regular Customers.
In the neighborhood where pawn
shops abound the soaker flourishes.
The soaker acts as middleman between
the pawnbroker and his customers. He
explains his mission and accounts for
his usefulness thus:
'"The people down here employ me-"
said he, mot because they are asham-
ed to be seen going into a pawnshop
themselves, but because can get more
for the goods than they can. There's
an art in pawning coat or a ring, just
the same as in everything else.
1--WE known people to. go into a
pawnshop with some old article to
pawn and to look the proprietor over
with supercilious air, as if they con-
sidered themselves so far above him
socially that he couldn't touch them
with a 40 foot pole. Naturally, for
sheer spite, the broker offers them only
about half as much as they would get
If they approached him properly. Hav-
ing had wide experience of my own,
l know how to avoid such difficulties.
| am not servile, but l am polite and
respectful, and as those two qualities

brokers' bosom | get all l want on the
proffered chattels.

and then, of course, | do many odd
jobs for occasionals. There are fam
lilies down here for whom l pawn the
same things over and over again, one
week after the other. On pay day they
take their things out of soak. Three
days later they put them in again, and
the next pay day they take them out
again. And so it goes, month after
month. | canvass the houses just like
book agent or corn plaster peddler or
insurance solicitor.

"And if there is l take it around to
some shop and raise the necessary

Horticulture, viticulture and floricul

class. In the midst of country of
orchards and vineyards the Pan-Amer
lean Exposition will have abundant
material close at hand and of the finest
quality from which to make an exhibit
worthy of the great event, The extern
sive floral decorations of the grounds
constitute a rich display in Horticulture
and several acres, including hundreds
of beds, are devoted to the exhibits
made by leading florists of the country
Flowers in profuson will welcome the
earliest visitors and breathe out their
fragrance and display their incompara

sands of trees and shrubs flourish
throughout the grounds. Double rows
of thrifty trees surround the principal
buildings. Foliage and flowers there
will be in great profusion. In the hol
ticultural establishment of the grounds
the Pan-American will far surpass the
efforts of all former expositions.
In the handsome and commodious
Horticultural Building all the popular
fruits of the different countries repre-
scented in the Pan-American Expos
ton will be displayed. With a suitable
refrigerating room upon the grounds, 1t
will be possible for the management to
make a daily fresh display of fruit.

were planted some months ago, and
they will aid in identifying the scene

"Do you know that the average Amer

unmitigated liar?" said an amateur
cynic of Baronne street. II don't mean
he lies viciously, but suave mendacity
glides off the end of his tongue as cas-
lily as molasses flows from a spigot on
a warm day in summer. He does it I'M
consciously, habitually, automatically
just as his lungs expand and his
heart palpitates and his hair grows,
without any special attention from the
rest Of his system. He does it because
he can't help it. The thing has become
a second nature.

continued the amateur cynic. "by a

body making long counts and are very
handy, because they never forget where
they leave off.

a MOUNTAIN LAKE.

oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks have sung
Wheel years and years, the shaggy hills among,
They bAhbled Of their trials, with foamy tears,
Until, all wearied having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorrows and their fears.
Like sentinels the stolid mountains stand
About you, dres't in garb Of gorgeous green;
At early dawn their mirrored shapes are seen
In shimmering outline, painted by the sun,
Upon your face athwart the cleaning sand,
Nor fade from view until the day is DONE
A fitting figure Of eternal rest
You typify the changeess fate Of man
When, having coursed mortaity's brief span
Adown the hills Of Time, his life shall end,
And all his doings, be they banned or blest,
Foreyermore, with other deeds, shall blend.

Quo vadis' Author

The following are extracts from an
interview with Henri Sienkiewicz
obtained by @. Hulewicz and sent to
this country: Sienkiewicz is of mid
die height, with considerable dignity
and verging toward plumpness. His
forehead is broad and high, his feat
ures of an aristocratic regularity. His
mouth expresses pronounced serious
ness-he smiles rarely. His. eyes, which
are of long oval, are deep gray and
his personality eminentlv winning.
The great man received me gracious
ly. Speaking of the recent jubilee and
gift rendered him by his people, he
longorek, the gcastle they gave me as
feature of the jubilee. Have you
seen it. 1t is eminently touching to
me to receive gift which is as is this
one, the outcome of Il voluntary nation
al subscription. ="
1 spoke of Sienkiewicz S own work.
81 am absorbed in another histori-
cal subject at present, p" he confessed.
1t is the life of a Roman emperor,
Julian, the Apostate. F"
I read, o Persian poet, thy sweet
strains,
And feel their charm and power, yet
thy quatrains
Awake no warmth of life within my
heart.
They chill as buds are chilled by
wintry rains.
If I shall yield myself to thoughts of
thine,
Deaf grows my ear to inner words
divine,
And l shall shout with him who loud
ly sings;
"Fill high the cup, bring wine, red
wine, red wine, red wine
All lost to kinship with the sons of
light,
No longer pure of heart, all dim the
light
Which sees the glory of the earth and
sky,
And finds this darksome world yet hea-
yeply bright
/ soon shall know no joys but joys of
earth,
Nor ask the singers but for songs of
mirth
The maddening pleasures my short
hours may crave,
Wine, numbers, beauty, flowers will
give them birth.
All manhood then will slowly fade
away,
All hopes be lessened to single ray,
What care / how or when my end may
be,
If wine and song and love shall end
my days?

"Quo Vadis."

Quo Vadis will be given at the
Pullman opera house next Satur-
day evening, Nov. 23rd. The play
is one that has stirred the hearts Of
the Christian world. 1t describes
in a graphic manner the life of Pa
gan Rome during the reign OF Nero;
the downfall of the empire; the
burning of the immortal city, and
the dawn of Christianity. 1t is not
only a strong sermon containing
thrilling dramatic interest, but a
superb scenic spectacle as well.
In presenting Quo Vadis Mr..
Carpenter is not making all expert
ment in the dramatic field. His
company made most extraordinary
success in this play last season, and
comes before the public this year
with strongly augmented cast,
elegant costumes, new scenery and
play that has been weighed IN the
balance of public approval and found
wanting in nothing.

Football--U. of l. VS., w. A. C.
tEvergreen.)


When 1daho's second team came
down from Moscow and met our
second team they were like unto
the Sadducees, for they were also
made sad.
The score of IS to in our favor
tells the tale; two touchdowns in the
first half and one in the second.
Idaho commenced the game by
kicking 80 yards towards west goal.
Lasher returned it 10 yards, and
then w. A. c. made steady gains
until we only lacked 3 yards of a
touchdown. Moscow now braced
up and held for downs. Two PLAYS
were unsuccessful, and so on third
down they kicked to Clizer, who re-
turned it 10 yards. The same
thing was again repeated as before,
except that this time the punt was
more successful. w. A. c. now
steadily advanced ball, and at last
sent Lobaugh over for a touchdown
with four minutes and forty-seven
seconds to play.
After the second kickoff, Gill,
Longstreet and Lobaugh went down
the field for ten, fifteen and twenty
yards, followed by variations, un-
til Lobaugh again went over Tor a
touchdown, making the score 10 to
o i'll our favor.
From now OH until time was
called, the playing was brief but
brilliant, the features of which were
a gain of IS yards by Longstreet,
and return gain of Is yards by
Tilley, of Z. of l., who placed the
ball on center of field just as time
was called.
In the second half Idaho began to
play ball. After the preliminary
kickoff they got the ball and
pounded into our line until they
reached the center ofthe field. Pull
man here got the ball, and Long
street Immediately shot away for a
S. yard run for another touchdown.
If the figure I had been added to
both scores we would have had the
standard ratio, but this was not
done.
The kickoff having been made,
Pullman steadily advanced the ball
from their own 20 yard line to
Idaho's five yard line. Here Nc
Cornell made the only real SEN
sational play of the day, by secur-
ing the ball on a tumble and max
ing a 100 yard run, which Reborn
barely kept from being touchdown.
Here Idaho lost their only chance
for a touchdown by yielding the
ball on downs. Gill was given the
ball and advanced it IS yards; a few
more advances were made when we
lost the ball. The U. of l., in num-
erous scrimmages, advanced the
ball 40 yards, when they lost it on
downs. w. A. c. now took the
ball, and were we'll on the way to
another touchdown when time was
called.
Our victory was marred some
what by the conduct of some of our
rooters in yelling: "Put him out!
Put him out!" referring to a man
whom we had protested. Now if
these men had stopped to think that
the U. of l. in our previous game
had protested one of our men with
every whit as much right as we pro-
tested theirs, then probably this
would never have occurred; more
over, we try to consider ourselves
gentlemen, and we must remember
that no true gentleman should al
low his feelings to run rife to such
an extent as was exhibited.
