CLAY NOT THE ONLY PEBBLE.
Judge Evans Likely to Cut Into the Great
Paciiicator's Rep.

II seems somewhat probable at this
writing that Judge Evans, Sumpter's
versatile justice Of the pace, il liable
To cut into Henry Clay's reputation
as the great paciticator" of
American history. A few days ago
he settled u neighborhood dispute in
IA manner that showed an ease aud
adaptability in such matters par ex-
ccllence. a woman appeared at his
office and applied for IA writ of
rcplcvin To recover Il pot of flowers
which she stated had been loaned to
u ncighbor. The neiHhbor, she
asserted, refused to return said flowers
on the grounds that the would be
plaintiff in the case, had borrowed u
jack plane which she also had failed
to bring back The neighbor de-
manded the jack plane or 81 In coin
Of the realm before she would allow
the flowers to leave her possession.
Striking his most fetching judicial
pose, his honor thus addressed the
aggrieved person:
"My dear madam, Is It possible
that you would seek redress in a
court Of justice for such trivial
otfenceg DO you know that writ
Of rcplevin will cost you some sl0
or sl5. while for u paltry pair Of
plunks you can obtain possession Of
your lost posies! The wisest course
for you to pursue in the matter Is to

compromise In this way"

compromise in this way"
The suave and gracious tones Of
the Judge assuaged the belligerent
spirit Of the woman. She revolved
the matter second, and then said {:
81 believe you are right, judge,
but l don't happen to have the louis
dor about my person at the present
time. will you kindly lend me
the amount?"
His honor, with the flush Of victory
on his face for the compromise he
had achieved, and the law suit he
had averted, went into his jeans and
handed forth the desired kopecks.
p. S.-Just on going to press 1t
was learned that the dough in full
had been returned to Judge Evans,
and the flowers are now in possessi on
of their original owner.
