PHOTOGRAPH WINS A CASE.
Bright Idea That Was Worked by
Clever LAWYER

A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story
that a picture of Fanny Davenport
once won n case for him. His client
was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, of which Wayne MacVeagh
was counsel, for $500 damages for
the death of her husband. Just a few
days before the case was to have come
up she happened into my office and an.
nounced that she had married again.
Good Lord, madam, | gasped, why
couldn't you have waited until your
case came up? It's next to impossible
for me to get damages for you now
She said she didn't care very much.
and went out, seeming very happy.
We'll, 1t just happened that had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my
desk, and when the next day Wayne
MacVeagh happened into my Office to
discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo and admired 1t. Who's
your friend?' he asked.
Il had a sudden inspiration and |
said: Why, that's the lady who Is
suing your company for $500
The deuce you say said he. Hand.
some woman, isn't she?'
"'She is, indeed" | replied.
"'H-m!' he exclaimed, looking at
the picture closely "A deuced hand
some woman, should say. A deuced
handsome woman There was a slight
pause. 'Whatll you take to settle this
case?' he asked.
II thought OF my clients second
marriage, and l fixed the figure at
$4,000. The deal was consummated,
and the case never came to court

New Stamps Crlticl ed.

The criticism of the new twocent
postage stamp is getting worse and
worse. Listen, for instance, to a
correspondent OF the New York Sun;
"The head of Washington on the
new two-cent stamp is not good ex-
ample for our youth. The nose is
the color of toper's and the eyes
are bleary with too much liquor and
two little sleep, The appearance OF
the revered father of his country
would suggest that the dates given
on the stamp cover the period OF
one, long, grand spree"

w. w. BRUNER BACK
FROM WEST INDIES

W. w Bruner. the pineapple and cof-
fee man of Kona, has returned from a
visit TO the West Indies. He went to
look into tropical agriculture and found
a great Zeal to interest him. While
away he bought pineapples of the Red
Spanish variety and will try them on
his Kona ranch.
Mr.. Bruner has hopes that Hawaiian
coffee will take a high and profitable
place in the market. He does not have
any illusions about a bounty which

one repeal. but suggests that if Congress
would IegisIate against the Importation
OF .ow-Erade coffee as it does against

fine coffee would be established in
which the Hawaiian product would find
