Patrolman Madsen was then called and
confirmed the testimony of the other two
patrolmen. Assistant City Attorney An

made an eloquent plea. He said that gamb-

especially afflicted with it.

HOW THE COLONEL WON.
He Was from the West and Conse-
Quently a Great Lawyer.

The west has some great lawyers
said the Missouri colonel to the crowd
that had been discussing rapid fire cases
in coE~t.
"oh. I don't know" said the young
lawyer from Hackensack; suppose you
name a few of them"
We'll" replied the colonel there's
old Jeff Thompson and Zeb BlackbuI n
and Col. Ike Hilton. all of Christian
county, Missouri. and any one of them
can give you fasteners every suit in
the deck, except one, and then win
Take Col Ike Hilton for instance
Why, the only case he ever lost in his
life was dress suit case that a crook
stole from him in the Union station,
ST. Louis.
Let me tell you about a case he won
once, when he was both lawyer and wit
ness. It was the fall term of court at
the county seat of Christian county.
The first case on the docket was that CT
a negro, charged with stealing a fatten
ing hog.
LAS soon as Link-his name was Lin
coin Washington. but they called him
Link for ShOrt-aS soon as Link was
arrested he sent for Col Ike. and. as
Link owned little farm and had some
live stock, Col. Ike responded readily
Link said Col. Ike. L guess you
got that hog.
Link was silent. for he did no.,
know whether it would be safe to con-
fess.
Come, Link said Col Ike, slap
ping him on the back, you've got that
hog, and if you don't own up I can't
take your easel"
Link scuirmed uneasily.
'Yaas, sah.' he said. All guess All
has Col. Ike
That's the stuff replied Col. Ike. re-
assuringly. Where is the hog now?i
. 1t am kilt an drest an er hangin' in
nah smokehouse,' answered Link.
9 All right, Link Now let me tell you
what to do. I'm going to get you loose,
and as soon as you go home l want you
to cut that hog exactly in two and bring
me half. Do you hear? Then you have
me summoned for a witness
Link heard and agreed, and the next
day there was fresh meat at Col. Ikes
house.
When the case was called Link appear
ed, wearing a serene smile. The court was
both surprised and impressed to find that
he had such influential witness. Two
other witnesses were called first, for a
bluff. and then Col Ike took the stand.
I'm response to the customary question,
What do you know about this case? Col.
Ike swore pointblank to Links innocence.
II know he said. that Link Wash
ington has no more of that hog than
havev
'.Of course such testimony was invincf-
bic. and Link was not only acquitted, but
exonerated.
Now we'll hear from the east said
the travelling man to the young lawyer
from Egg Harbor.-Philadelph Ledger.

Genius from Rural Districts.

The following statement is made by Mir. Havelock Ellis from the study of S59 men and 43 women of note in Britain. The upper and middle classes. according to Mr. Ellis, are rich in geniuses. The country and small towns produce genius more often than cities, and the clergy father the most distinguished children. Geniuses tend to come of large families, to be the children of elderly parents, to be precocious, feeble in health in early life, but fairly long-lived. They have usually excellent education; a large proportion travel extensively in early years. There is among geniuses a tenacity to remain unmarried or to marry late in life. Persons of unDat- ural intellect are often subject to gont, asthma or angina pectoris (nervous diseases), to stammering, melarcholia or insanity.

 ''Nearer, My God, to Thee" was sung at the ceremony, while the medium was entranced. Mir.

A SILK STRING CURE.
Novel se1f-Treatment Tint Proved Effective in Severe Case of
 Lumbag0.

In Gen. F. c. Latrobe's varied and ex- tensive mail during the past year there have been hundreds of letters begging him to send the writers some of lis renowned silken strings for the cure of lumbago, reports the Baltimore Sun.
 While Gen. Latrobe was attending the sessions of the last legislature, and was incidentally nursing a severe case of lumbago, s. W. Pattison met him one day and suggested that if he would simply tie silk string about his waist next to the skin he would be cured. The general experienced an unusually severe twinge that night, and in desperation ordered his man servant, Robert, to tie on the string. From that time the Iumbago began to depart until the next day, when it entirely disappeared. Gen. Latrobe was enabled to stay in Annapolis.
 The story of his cure becoming noised abroad, letters began to come in by the score, until finally, in order to find time to attend to any other business, Gen. Latrobe referred all let ters to his man Robert, whom he there- upon gave the name of Dr. Wilson.
 Since that time "Dr.' Wilson, spe- cialist in lumbago, has been making tidy little income selling silk strings of the proper curative kind.

WITH THE POLOISTS.

Now that Cusick has skipped Ply mouth. it is doubtless truth that the managers of the team will bit terly regret letting Mullen go.
 "Long Johns Wiley is a wonder. How man can go through hard season of baseball, and follow up with a season of polo, the hardest kind of game to work in, and do the same thing year in and year out is beyond comprehension. The last Maine trip almost did up the lanky center when he was compelled to do about all the defence work in an ef- fort to make a showing for his team, who were minus the services of Dev- lin.-Lawrence Eagle.
 Trust magnates are not wanted i'll polo. They are q detriment to the game and the sooner they give up the idea of syndicating the circuit the better for the public and themselves. The people already have their sus- picions about certain evidences of the trust scheme.-Lowell Mail.
 Manager Parsons says that there will be no change in the Lowell line Up next season. Lewiston will be transferred to Providence, R. l., with Parsons as manager and McGilvray as floor captain. McGilvray will not own an interest in the team as re- ported. He will be under salary.
 Jimmie Canavan has found the go- ing rather rough this season and as the weeks grow fewer when polo will cease, he is steadily losing ground. Portland is said to be loser finan- cially this season. The Portland boys use chair cars, while the regular coaches are good enough for all other players. Mathis has paid out q lol of money unnecessary ill travelling expenses, besides carrying more play CTS than he really needed With proper handling Portland should have been winner.-Lawrence Sun. Tommy Murphy is accused of mak, ing use of q vile epithet toward Jean, and that's why the latter was | so anxious to do combat. Yet we've always understood that Murphy never i speaks anything but parlor language Lowell Mail.

F CoWleS has very kindly given us half of his big store, where we have a host of carpenters at work fitting up as nice a store as can be found in the city. It takes some time, SO we have decided not to open with our Spring stock till about March 1. However. we are taking orders for clothing
 both custom and ready made,
 which we get very quickly
 from our New York store.
 Any orders will receive prompt
 attention and satisfaction guar
