Took the Hint.

A story is told of a certain English
bishop well known for his verbosity
who rose to address the house of lords
on very important occasion. 81 will
divide my speech under twelve heads"
he said, to the discomfort of his audi
ence.
The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with a little
anecdote. "a friend of mine was re-
turning home late one night" he said,
"when opposite st. Paurs he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain the
time on the big clock there. Just then
it began to strike and slowly tolled out
-. The man listened, looked hard at
the clock and said: 'Confound you, why
couldn't you have said that all ut
once|"
The bishop heartily joined in the
laughter which followed and took the
hint contained in the story.

Finds a Friend
In Need

wearing a new suit of clothes, had gal
lantly told his wife to take the carriage
while he rode in a street car to the
capitol. When in the car, he searched
his pockets, but could find neither mon
ey nor car tickets. There was no one
in sight whom he knew to help him out
of the unpleasant situation. The con-
ductor was headed in his direction, and
the loWan began to realize that he was
in the grasp of soulless corporation.
Not little chagrined, he hoped off
the car at the corner of Fourteenth
and + streets. wondering where he
could borrow nickel, as it was not a
pleasant morning for walking.
Through the window of the next car
that came along he saw Representative
Ketcham of New York and said to him
self, Here is my friend in need"
Then, jumping aboard, Senator Dolli-
Yer sat down next to Mr.. Ketcham.
When the conductor came around, he
leaned over and said in a whisper:
81 wish you would pay my fare"
whats that?" said Ketcham, whose
hearing is not acute.
Il say. | wish you would pay my
fare"
Il can't hear a word" protested
Ketcham. Speak louder"
By this time everybody in the car
was looking at the senator and smil-
ing. He blushed rosy red and shouted:

When Moody Was
Fooled

the par IN HaVerhlil. lie had been
employed as assistant counsel in
suit for breach of promise brought by
a woman of high family connections
against very wealthy man who was
then mayor of large city in the
neighborhood of Boston. One evening
while he was at work on the case a
young man came to Moody's office.
1--WE come up to see you about that
Blank case" said the young man.
oh" said Moody. Then he got up
from his desk, very carefully closed
the door of the private office and said
cordially, "Sit down."
Now, both parties to the suit We're
anxious to avoid publicity. 1t would
mean sensational scandal should the
facts be published. Mr.. Moody had
been warned by his client to keep the
matter secret, as it was expected that
compromise settlement would be
made and the case kept out of court;
hence his precaution in closing the
door. In the person of the young man
he scented new witness. possibly
one who could help him win.
Now" said Mr. Moody, lust how
can you help us in this case"
The young man seemed embarrassed.
He hesitated and then remarked:
81 think if l understood the case
little better
Il see," said Moody quickly. 1.-THE
situation is just this''-and he proceed
ed to tell the story of the ladys griev-
G
much interested. He just drank it in,
At the end Mr.. Moody repeated his
question: adding, "On what point could
you testifyF'
why" said the young man, pulling
out pencil and notebook, "I'm not a
witness; I'm the new local correspond
ent for the Boston Globe. | came up
to get some facts for story. It'll
make RATHER"
For moment the young lawyer had
visions of big black lettered newspaper
heads and of an irate client. Then the
humor of the situation came to him.
He had been neatly trapped by a
young. laundering and inexperienced
reporter. He laughed.
at WILL" he agreed. "More than that,
il will get me into more kinds of hot
water than ! can tell you. But you
certainly caught me mapping. It's my
fault. Have cigar"
But the young reporter had sense
of honor He assured Mr.. Moody that
he would not print story got in such
a manner He lost a SCOOP" but he
gained friend who it is safe to say,
still remembers him.

1oor in the rear and acts as q conduct
or for the owners by depositing his
fare in little box at the front end Of
the wagon. The Massachusetts sena-
tor saw vacant seat near the pay box
and worked his way toward it. Drop
ping into seat, he put his ticket into
the box and began reading n bulky
document. Before he had read a dozen
lines lady asked him if he would
please be so kind" and he dropped
her fare into the receptacle. This he
was asked to do half a dozen times as
people got into the herdic.
Finally an old negro 'mammy" with
a basket of washing got in and passed
quarter up to the senator. With the
same courtesy with which he had
treated other fellow passengers he
poked the money out to the driver and
was given a slip of tickets in return
He tore off one, dropped it in the box
and handed the rest to the colorcd wo-
man, who tearfully protested that she
did not want the tickets, but the change
for her quarter. The senator was non
plused.
What am l to do?' he asked.
81 dunno an l don't care" she said.
II wants 20 cents. l don't want no tick
cts"
Without a moments hesitation SEN
ator Lodge fished quarter out OF his
pocket, handed it to the old woman,
who still had the tickets, and bolted
from the herdic.

Haverhill, in another part of the state.
1t was an unusual thing to ask a dis
trict attorney to go out of his territory.
But Mr.. Moody went cheerfully, put
forth his best efforts and made a name
for himself which has helped him on
toward success
All of this goes to show that Billy
Moody, as he is called in Haverhill,
was first of all mighty good lawyer.
He had that reputation before he en-
tered politics and became a congress-
man. Many man in the eastern dis
trict of Massachusetts today can re-
member how he felt on the witness
stand when those searching blue eyes
of Moody's were fixed on him. 1t was
not an experience easily forgotten.

Money Growing Wild.

(New York Sum-
LINCOLN, NEB., October lO-The fairy
tale of money growing on bushes was
realized last week along the right of way
Of the Burlington railroad between Hyan-
mis- and Alliance.
a gang OF section men were at work
when one of them noticed something that
looked like bill waving from the tangled
top Of a sunflower growing by the road
side He investigated. 1t was a treasury
note for $40.
He walked a few steps further and
there, nodding from a branch Of bit Of
dog fennel. was another bill of similar
denomination.
He called to his companions and the
entire gang threw down their tools and
started on a money hunt. For three hours
they searched up and down the right of
way and far afield.
AT almost every yard their trouble was
rewarded by finding either So or $40
bill. Some bills We're tangled in the tops
OF weeds. others half hidden in bushes
along the fence and still others in the
stpbhle of the field
The entire days cleanup of the eight
was s2,135. When the find was reported
word came from headquarters that
money pouch containing So. 500 had been
lost from an express shipment the day be-
fore
The supposition is that the bag fell out
OF the open car door and was ground to
pieces under the wheels and the con-
tents were scattered to the winds This
hypothesis is supported by the later dis
covery OF portions of the damag ed pouch.
