BUTTINC OF GOAT
 CAUSES LAW SUIT Mobile Woman Files Complaint Asking S5000 Damages JOINT OWNERS ARE SUED In the Papers Filed Mrs. Busch Claims That She Was Mischievously Att
 tackled in September and She
 Still Suffers Therefrom.
JOINT OWNERS ARE SUED

Mobile December 26.-(speeial) )-still smarting from the effects of the spirited charge of a masculine goat, Mrs. Eliza beth Busch of this city, has filed suit in the circuit court for s5,OOO against Henry. Frank, Charles, George and Lafayette Busch, alleged owners of the said An gora.
 The bill of complaint sets up the inter- esting fact that on a certain day in Sep tember the plaintiff in question while strolling along Michigan avenue was vi- eiously. mischievously and with malice aforethought attacked in an unbeeoming manner by the said goat. which answers to the name of William.
 While the various counts of the com plant do not definitely establish the po- siton of the goat in making the charge, nor the provocation, this is probably due to the alarm of the plaintiff as set forth in the papers filed.
 A Beast of Burden.
 The goat, whose location can not now be established, is said to have been valuable as a beast of burden In that he pulled cart up and down the street to the great delectaton of his owners, and his only failing was a propensity to butt in in an uncalled for and impolite manner.
 In the action of law, Mrs, Busch does not relate the past history of William but reports from the besieged territory indi- cate that the said goat has butted in on many occasions. and the list of casualties resulting therefrom is lengthy.
 The Complaint. t- The first count of the suit filed by Mrs. Busch Is as follows:
 Plaintiff claims of the defendants the sum of five thousand dollars for that be- fore and at the time of the damage and injury to the plaintiff hereinafter men toned. the said defendants wrongfully kept certain goat they well knowing that the said goat was of a mischievous nature and was used and accustomed to attack mankind and that 1t was danger ous and improper 10 allow said goat 10 be at large and unconfined; which said goat while the defendants kept the same as aforesaid heretofore and al and before the commencing of this suit. to-wlt: the twen- ty-fifth day of September, 1903. did attack, lacerate and iniure the said plaintiff, whereby the said plaintiff became and was greatly terrified and alarmed. and became and was sick, sore. lame disor- dered and isahled and so remained and continued for long time, to-wit. from the day and year last mentioned 10 the time of the commencemtn of this suit; whereby and in consequence of the alarm and fright and injury occasioned by the said goat so attacking, wounding lacer- ating and injurlng her as aforesaid, the plaintiff has been greatly injured in her health and is unable 10 perform her cus- tomary labors and has been put to great expense in and about the curing of said injury and Is permanently injured physl- cally and has suffered great mental pain, anxiety and anguish, 10 her great dam age as aforesaid

We reasoned 1t out this way. A reduc- tion sale must inevitably come at time probably in February later. Such sales are necessary. They are safety values by which the surpluses must escape. They help us keep the stocks healthy, apple-pie and shipshape. Well, why not jump in and do the thing at once ? Why not give the buyers nearly full season to wear and ap- preciate the bargains Whats the sense of waiting Action immediately followed the thoughts. Today is December 18th. It is the heart of mid-winter. Here are end of-the-s season prices on Womens Tailored Suits, Women's Coats, Women's F'urs and Children's jackets. That's all. These are the facts in thimble.

There is no unusual demand on

courage and embOlden the enemies of

the President and the Negro They
are ridiculously funny, these anti-ad-
ministratiOn organs. They have more
to say against the President than, the
hundreds of reputable newspapers
that do not carry pruient personal ad-
vertisements of lecherCusly inclined
inclined gentlemen CD that endorse
his manly and courageous stand in the
Crum case-and all other cases into
which enter the elements of justice
and humanity. The Herald's bark is
more dangerous than it's bite. 1t is a
free lance-that's all.
The LIMITATIONS have always stood
for justice and fair play for all men,
regardless of color. The bravest men

struggle. in this country, with one or
two exceptions were Unitarian clergy

trumpet-tOngued, against the hell

All the poets but one or two who
wrote against human slavery were
men identified with the great Uni
tartan Church.

o, God, Our Heavenly Father, we
rejoice in the consciousness that Thou
art Our Father Whatever our cOndi-
ton in life, whatever our creed, Thou
art the Father of us all. And we be-
gin all our work in the consciousness
that we are Thy children; that we
ought to work together as one body
for the good of all. We pray that we
may all regard the interests of all,
seeking to do justice, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with Thee; seek
ing to secure justice and liberty and
freedom of opportunity for every man,
whatever his race. whatever his
creed Helm us to be true children
of Thine. Help us to work together
for the good of humanity. Guide and
direct us by Thy spirit. Amen.
The Negro need not despaid as long
as there are such men in the pulpitS
of the North as DR.. Brundage to plead
his cause, and to cry out against the
wrongs which are constantly being
heaped upon him. There is a limit
to all things that are not in harmony
with Gods Justice, and in His own
way He has always humbled the
naughty and self-righteous nation who
have oppressed the Door and the weak

W"hat He Wanted.

1t is usual for young attorneys--men
who are just beginning to practice law
to take small cases which the older
lawyers refuse on account of lack OF
time and lack OF adequate remunera-
ton. A young lawyer at the Baltimore
bar tells the story OF client whom he
had successfully defended, and from
whom he received small fee and the
mans everlasting admiration and graf
itude.
One day the lawyer was sitting at his
desk, pretending to be busy, when his
client called and proceeded to state his
business. He intended to get married,
and he needed assistance from his
friend which was not at all OF legal
nature.
You sec, it is this way" he explain
ed after his embarrassment had some
what worn off, I'm going to get mar
ricd. Now ! am too poor to go to
her town to get married, so we are 60
ing to get married here in my house. y
The lawyer was beginning to fancy
himself in the role of best man, or, at
least, OF an honored guest. He began
to prepare his speech OF thanks, as his
client continued speaking.
There's no piano at our house, and
we're too poor to pay for the music, so
| thought ii you'd Just come up tomor-
NOR with your banjo and play the we'd
ding march in the hall as We walk III,
thar it would help out wonderful. No
one need see you--you can play under
the steps in the hall.
The lawyer refused. but his face lost
none OF its judicial gravity as he ex-
planned that he had an important en-
gagement in court at that very hour.

one of our homely old philosophers
