One for the Lnwyer.

When youth and inexperience pits IT
self against age and wisdom. ii gen.
orally gets the worst of 1t. Some years
ago many farmers along the line of a
large railway brought suits against it.
and engaged young lawyer named
Brown. The judge who was presiding
was compelled to throw many of the
cases out Of court because they were
improperly brought, at which the law
yer became angry. Swelling with In
dignation, he arose and said:
"Your honor, will you please tell me
how 1t Is possible In this court to get
justice against railway companyw
The court quietly ignored the con-
tempt of court shown by the lawyer.
and asked:
"Do you want an answer to that ques-
ton. MIR. Brown"
Eyes. sir" was the defiant reply;
yes. sir, and want to know how a
farmer can get his case into this court
30 that II will be heard"
The Judge smiled and said.
"Well. first, Mr.. Brown, I'd advise
the farmer to employ a lawyer"
Mr.. Brown had nothing more to say.

To the postman the woman with the

groaned: Now. isn't that too bady
-Four cents due, did you say2 And
haven't got bit of change. But you'll
trust me, won't you? I'll be sure to
pay you the next time you come
around"
The postman kicked his boots against
the side OF the house and turned the
letter over doubtfully. Yes" he said

oughtn't to by rights. You have no idea
how much money am out Of pocket

fore taking the letters out OF the office
and trust the people to pay me. Some
times they meet their obligations and
sometimes they don't. But they're never
wholly squared up with me, for the best
OF them are slow about getting around
In their payments. And then, In this
neighborhood, they're apt to move away
and forget all about the little item com
ing to me. To be sure, no one person
ever owes me more than s or 10 cents.
but II you get enough people TO owe you
10 cents you're the loser OF nice little
sum in the long run.
IT'S funny thing to me why people
who write letters can't put on enough
stamps in the first place, anyway. They
know approximately how much letter
or package will weigh. but they don't
care. II they send out q parcel weigh
ing half pound they just stick on n
2-cent stamp and fire 4 into the mail
| box, leaving the postmnn the other
end of the line to square accounts. All
we fellows put together are required
to collect hundreds Of dollars every day

Wednesday and Friday mornings.

CIGARS THAT SAVED THEM.
Two Doctors Missed Train that Was

Two Doctors Missed Train that Was
Wrecked in New York Tunnel.
That the habit of cigar smoking Is
conducive to longevity is the firm be-
lief Of two physicians Of the eastern
district Of Brooklyn. Their faith in so
peculiar a theory Ii born of the fact
that they owe their continued existence
to the fondness Of one Of them for
smoking.
The story involved has to do with
the recent disaster in the New York
Central tunnel. DR.. Peter Hughes, sur
geon-in-chief of St Catharine hospital.
and DR.. Paul r. Cavanagh of GIG Bed
ford avenue, are the physicians con-
eerned. DR.. Hughes has a pati In
East 128th street. near Lenox avenue,
Manhattan, who is suffering from acute
appendicitis. On the night preceding
the day of the fatal collision in the
Park avenue tunnel DR.. Hughes called
in Or. Cavanagh in consultation in the
case. The physicians remained at the
home of the patient all night. Leaving
there ON the following morning they
walked to 125th street, intending to
board a New YORK Central local train
fer the Grand Central station.
There's a train at sos" said DIR.
Cavanagh consulting his watch; 1--WE
can make It If we hurry"
"An right" returned DR.. Hughes,
but must get cigar to smoke"
"Oh, never mind the cigar" said CAV
anagh. 1--WE haven't the time"
an have that smoke II ] miss dozr
en- trains" insisted Hughes.
CaVanagh yielded and entering a
store they purchased some cigars, bur
ryiDg out again to catch the train. AS
they neared the station the train-the
fatal South Norwalk eXpress-eame
putting in. The two doctors ran up the
stairs, hut just as they reached the
platform the train pulled out
There, If ii hadn't been for these
blamed old cigars we'd be on our way
downtown now" said CaVanagh. an
noyed.
Then the two went downstairs and
boarded Madison avenue car. When
they got down to 42d street three am
balances dashed up in front Of the
Grand Central station and crowd was
gathering there.

asked DR.. Hughes OF policeman who
boarded the car.

Slaves to Habit.

Most Of us eat too much. A great
many OF us eat so rapidly that we do
not digest our food properly. Dyspep-
STA is q national and an increasing dis
ease. We are slaves to habit In eating
as well as in other matters. A famous
English surgeon has given It as his
opinion that more persons acquire dis
eases and shorten their lives by over
eating than by indulgence In intoxi-
eating liquors. The two meal a day
plan is growing In popularity and has
it's enthusiastic advocates among the
plain people as well as those who have
studied the question scientifically. The
Americans are the most carniverOus
race on earth. More vegetables and
less meat would save them much mon
ey and many bodily Ills Comparative
ly few Of us apply the rules of common
sense TO our habits OF eating and pay
a heavy penalty for this rashness. The
reformers who are appealing to this
over eating generation sometimes go to
extremes. but on the whole, they are
on the right line and will accomplish
much good.

The American Museum Journal re-
ports that the twelve specimens of Wild
pigeons recently added to the collec-
lions OF the museum were secured only
with much difficulty, because or the
surprising fact that this species OF our
native birds. which within the past
fifty years has been one of the most
abundant, is now so rare. not only In
n state of nature. but also In coilec-
tons. that 1t Is practically unobtain-
able.
Rain acts In two ways: az chemical
ly, by dissolving certain substances,
such as lime, out Of the rocks, and 90
mechanically by wearing down their
surfaces as II flows over them. Any old
building-a ruined castle or cathedral,
for instance shows "weathered" sur
face resulting from the action Of rain
and wind. In sandstone structures the
details OF carving are often lost and on
old tomDstones the lettering can hardly
be dec. pbered. Springs are due to the
rain water collecting in rocks and ris-
ing to the surface. Rivers are fed by
rains and springs.
The widest difference between the
American and the British types of loco

Is in their boiler capacity, and the great
err hauling power OF our locomotives is
due more to the fact that they possess
larger heating surface in their boilers
than to any other CT use. Yet enormous
as our locomotive boilers have become,
| there is still call for greater power.
and this can only be obtained by a
change in the style of the boiler, for
much larger machines would not easily
pass through the tunnels and by the
platforms now In use.
