LECTION

There was no mistake about it, the
Judge was asleep. The embarrassed
young lawyer, who had reached the
telling point Of bis argument, spoke
In . higher key, and then raised bis
voice until the wallis Of the room rs.
verbeFated. But the judge slept on.
The.cOurt officers were blind to the
young lawyers hints. At last, In des-
pcration, he turned to his opponent,
"Now, Mt. Grubber, you see the
delicate situation / am In, and there's
only one way out. Unfortunately ]
haven't any books with we, but IL you
don't mind I am going to knock over
that pile Of yours"
With a we'll directed gesture the
young lawyer struck the books, and
they. IS we'll as the chair on which
they had been standing, went down
with a terrific crash just as his OPP
ponent leaped to his feet and ex-
claimed:
"But | do most EN- hatIcally OBJ
ject."
And the Judge, without raising his
head from the position 1t had been
occupying for the last fifteen min
utes, replied with all bis wonted dig
nifty:

And so 1t goes down the line, in re-
in business, in almost every
walk of-life. We are much the same

sometimes worse. The question is, is
the world improving, or are we just
drifting along, mlmicking those we

Even the President of a great big
country can do little dirty, political
tricks sometimes, just the same as
smaller politicians. This was illus

session Of congress, about one hum

WEED

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but. it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you viii
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
mcnt you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

coon Man FoR MS TOWN.

EN~ 70 10 AoHl
and With anything like CO. operation
among lie citizenship must have . fu'
ture bright and prosperous. When
such men 60 to the front, determined
that the community in which they
i've shall not want for the apprOba-
ton Of those who come there to do
their trading, to sell their products
and TO exchange ideas and c0mpli-
ments Of the season, there naturally
grows up a feeling between merchant
and patron which is dificult 10 en-
strange.
OkOlona has ct least one merchant
who can be truthfully listed in this
role. He is J. N. DulaueY, the popu-
lar Grocerymah, whose neat store is
near the center Of the block on the
South side of Main street, but which
is already located by everybody who
comes to this city to trade, because
the people soon discover where they
can do the best, and that place they
do not soon forget.
For several years Mr.. Dulaney has
enjoyed a splendid trade, but the
present year has been the browning
succes Of them all. The better the
people come to know him the more
steadily bis trade has increased, and
today scarcely q person in the county
but knows him and appreciates the
efforts he puts forward in their behalf.
He tries to merritt their patronage,
and he does 1t successfully.
Everybody knows that 0kolona has
been the best cotton market this year
in this entire section Of the state. We
have bad more cotton buyers on the
streets than any other town, and 1t
was not difficult for the people who
have had the great staple for sale to
discover that the prices in 0kolona
have been each day just q little better
than they we're in any other market
near. And among all the buyers, ].
N. Dulaney has steadily lead in the
top prices paid to those from whom
he has been buying. With such a buy
or on the market, other buyers have
been compelled to pay the highest
notch price, and the people have en-
joyed it. This is not, probably. be
cause there were not many others In
position to pay just as much as he,
but more likely because that be hae
had undying faith in the certainty
that cotton must steadily sail upward
from the time the market opened, and
he has each day anticipated the future
with a daring which enabled him to
convince his patrons that his prices
were always the best.
Not alone has Mr.. Dulaney's efforts
been confined to an aggressive posi-
ton on the market for cotton, but be
has at the same time kept his retail
and wholesale Grocery business at ali
times right up to the front Of the pro-
cession, and those who come to him
with their products have also found
that in buying they could do so well
with him, not only in price but also in
the quality Of goods, that they have
not thought of going elsewhere.
Il can truthfully be said that Mr..
Dulaney's policy this season has large
" endeared him TO those who come to
Okolona to trade, and his success has
been indirectly very beneficial to the
city generally.

ARTIFICIAL LIMB SUIT
Plaintiff Wins Majority of His Claims

Plaintiff Wins Majority of His Claims
and an Appeal is Taken.
In the Federal District Court yestcr-
day the Jury in the case Of j. D. Hanger
vs.. "A. L. Peters, for infringement OF pat
ent, returned verdict for the plaintiff
In two claims and for the defendant in
the other Tho verdict awards Hanger
$50 In one case and 500 In the other, but
what is of vastly more Importance 1T Is
a decision that Hanger has patents COW
ering two of the portions Of the artificial
leg made by him.
In the suit which is an acton for dam
ages for infringement of patent, the de-
PENDANT settup the defense that the device
on which the plaintiff claimed a patent
had already been patented and had been
on the market more than two years. The
jury did not sustain this contention. 1t
held that Hanger had patents covering
claims and 2, but had no patent COW
erIng claim 3. Claim was as to the soft,
flexible portion of the limb at the thigh,
claim 2 Is as to the knee-joint and claim
3 relates to the ankle joint. The yer-
diet of the jury, therefore. gives the
plaintiff nearly all he claimed. A mo-
tion by the defendant to have the verdict
set aside was set for May 9Th, when 1t
will be argued. and the court suspended
judgment, pending determination Of the
notion The jury was thereupon dis
charged for the term.
