%er-.~ru Income.

We legal profession of the present day will be surprised to learn that MT. Webster. the greatest American law yer of his time, made but $16.000 a year by his practice. But the fees of counsel between 1S4o and 1850 were not what they have been since.
 In 1S4S I accompanied client 10 Mir. Webster's office in Boston and ask ed him to name a retaining fee in an important patent case. He said he thought couple of hundred dollars would do. When the case was tried, his fee was only $1,OO0. On another occasion I paid him a retaining fee of $2,00o for the proprietors of the Good year india rubber patent.
 His fee for arguing the great equity cause of Goodyear versus Day in the circuit court of the United States for the district of New Jersey, by which he established the validity of the Good year patent. was $5.0o0. This was in the spring of 1852, and was the last case he ever argued.

Whiskers and a strange dress suit and who had been very polite. When the man had bent to lift Cupe's dress suit case, Cupe had said. No. no. no, thanks" and told him and Eb and the chatty housekeeper, who were also fin the hall, that he would carry 1t up stairs himself, for he needed the exer- else.
 Ills unfolded dress suit case surRed with his two white shirts, seven sepa rate cuffs, six collars and the two changes of other clothes. Then he heard giriish voices in the hall; they by some young wife from across the hedges. They were really the two maidservants.
 "Knuckle. knuckle," deferentially on the door.
 Come in." said Cupe. In poked the side whiskered head of the butler or porter. "win you have a cocktail, sirY'
 Cupe's own head was full of dress suits, SO he thought the butler said, ''Will you have a coattailr'
 "Yes, please" answered Cupe, and while waiting for the dress suit to come shirts in the case.
 "Knuckle, knuckle," again on the door. Cupe hoped the suit would it But 1t was Eb who entered.
 "Knuckle." The butler entered with the cocktail.
 And the coattnil?" inquired Little Cupe. He said this partly to Eb. He would let him upbraid his own serv- ant. Eb stared; the butler stared; the house seemed to sigh to Little Cupe. There had been no relieving feature to the situation. Eb thought Cupc might have meant to say some indeh nlte jokes; the butler or porter proba bly, thought so too. Cupe was now at the dining room table with his napkin fallen to his feet, where he was un. able to pick 1t up. He had entered the dining room very erect. for he had ex. pected to find the invited girls there and wanted them to be favorably i'm. pressed and whisper to each other, but he learned he was to be alone with Eb and his only conquest the courses. He didn't know how to take all of them out of the platters, but that same porter or butler was a valuable man and did 1t for him.
 After the dinner Little Cupe felt much relieved. He discussed the paint. ings, for he had taken a course in fine arts once as a ''snap" and smok. ed many cigars. He didn't know when to stop smoking, and ED marvelec. That's about all that happened tc Little Cupe. Eb, who at last realized | that Cupe had expected to stay over | Sunday, If not a week, explained to him that he himself. unfortunately,
 had to be away for the day. but urged | Cupe to remain and have at his dis. l posal the house and horses. "No. thanks: mo-" said Cupe. 'l promised the fellows I would be back for church"
 This latter tale was unfortunate, fol | Cupe had to rise in the morning earlier
 than he would have otherwise. He felt m lch like this story, which
 started with graphic enthusiasm and
 then wilted away like bashful school
 boy. But you should have heard the
 reasons he gave the medical students
 why he didn't stay over Sunday. Nice

down when empty. I know of at least six unmatched round silos that have blown down in the last two years.
 Cypress lumber Is undoubtedly the best lumber that grows for silo uses. It shrinks very little and warps scarce ly at all.
 The patent silo, if 1t be a first class one. is both cheaper and better than any homemade one, no matter how we'll built.
 Not only are they cheaper, but t bought from a first class firm a patent round stave silo Is the best in the world. Ensilage being such a heavy product, the easy, economical handling of 1t should be considered. With a door silo the plan usually followed Is to have about one-half of the front open, the rest closed. This plan. of course, re quires much lifting as the ensilage Is being taken out. The most desirable way Is to have the silo of the continu- ous open front construction, whereby the entire front can be opened up one board at a time as the feeding from the silo Is being done. This makes the door on a level with the feeding sur face all the time, and to me this meth cd seems to possess the greateS meEt.

Advantage of the ContinuOas Open

 The most satisfactory silo is the one made of one thickness of two inch slaves, planed on both sides and heav- fly tongued and grooved. says F. H Ryder in National Stockman.

The beauty of 1t is that you may extend 1t to others and have just as much of it-yea, more of it-left in your own heart and life. It Is like the miracle of the loaves and fishes, which, by being divided, were multiplied until twelve baskets were filled with the remnants. 1t Is like a torch, with which fifty lamps may be lighted and yet the torch remain as bright as before 1t lighted the first lamp.
 But this grace will not come to its coronal until 1t reaches the heavenly sphere.

No rival ry between cherubim and seraphim. No ambition as to who shall have the front seats in the temple of God and the Lamb. No controversy about the place the guest may take at the ban ,luet. No rivalry of robe or coronet. No racing of chariots. No throne look Ing askance upon other thrones, but all the inhabitants perfectly happy and rejoicing in the perfect happiness of others. If never get to any other de lightful place, I want to get to that place. What a realm to live in for ever! All worshiping the same God, all saved by the same Christ all expe- riencing the same emotions. all ascend ing the same heights of love and exul- tntion. all celebrating the victories. Courtesy there easy. because there will be no faults to overlook, no apologies to make, no mistakes to correct, no dis ngreeableness to overcome, no wrongs to right.

Funeral CercmGa;em of Deceased
 Memb~r--Tripse Link Notes.
 The funeral ceremonies of the order, in the Interest of comfort. health and economy In time, should take place In the home of the departed, in the hall of the lodge or In the church rather than in the cemetery. Formal cere- monies should not take place at the grave unless the day be one of the pleasantest, and then only a brief con- initial service.-Odd Fellows Siftings.
 Over HOO chevaliers were quartered at Camp Cable during the sovereign grand lodge meeting.
 The best Odd Fellow Is the one who does the best Odd Fellow work.
 Way down east, In Maine, the ques- ton of building a home Is being Gis- cussed by the Odd Fellows. Give the Rebekahs a chance to work. and the Pine Tree State will soon have a home, says Odd Fellows Herald.
 Nusbeth lodge of Sharon is one of the liveliest in Pennsylvania. It has only been instituted little over four months and has a membership of lS7. OuO teiloWsnlp eAhcts or us mem- bers loyalty to their country and hon. esty in their dealings with their fellow men.
 There are thirty-five residents of the Wisconsin home - sixteen adults and nineteen children-their ages ranging from five to ninety-one years.
 There are 4,4Ss Rebekahs in Kan sas, a gain of 2,070 for the year.
 Reports of the financial condition of the New Jersey home showed it to be prosperous. During the past year the home cost 3,753.85. There is now q 1 cash balance of S292. .e2 The total as- sets, including real estate and personal property, amount to $25, ,292.62. There are now eighteen inmates. The home is supported by thirty lodges, and a movement to compel all the lodges throughout the state to support 1t was lost in the grand lodge.

THE TOUCH DOES IT

Bsnson's Pla.ters are like your other fri.nds--they hate to sec you in pain or in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you complain about it. They want to care you and send you along to your businsss-whols and happy. They oan do h and tsti do it Try them on. What forf Why for any cough or cold you may be troubled with, or any bothering pain or ache, or worry with Kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch of musoular rhsumatism renders an arm or leg worth only half price jus, now. For anything that makes the machine work slow and stid, with pain maybe in the motion of it, clap Benson s Porous Plaster squarsly on the bad spot. They are the pst-out- t-to-paorroas plasters-not the sort that go Co sleep on your skin like a cat on a cushion. There Is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of them. No other external remedy, no mAt- ter how made or how called, is worthy to live in the same street with Ben son's Plasters. Pains and ailments melt away under them as A sheet of ice does un- der the Spring sun. You cannot foreten the weather but you can always forctsn the effect of Benson's Plnsters, it in as sure as the effect of a hot breakfast In . hungry mans stomach. But look out for substitutes Get the genuine. All drug gists, or we will prepay postage on any number ordered in the United States on receipt of 25c. each.

How many people when they marry carefully put aside their joint love let ters as one of the most cherished pos sessions of their future life, and in how many cases afterward do they ever take them out and look at them2
 Now, why is this? Partly perhaps because the time of romance is over and practical, everyday life has be- gun; partly, also, we will hope, because now they can say so many nice things to each other. and there is no need to read over the past nice things they have written.-Golden Penny.
