Before Judge PEBBLES.

Raleigh, N. C.-Thirty-fve lawyers,
being the entire bar of the Robinson

OF court. Their trial came up before

refused to try their cases. Recently
when he called court, he faced a row
of empty benches, and learned that the
entire bar had gone on a strike. He
cited the lawyers to show why they
should not be punished, and in answer
they gave seventeen reasons, among
them, d~iscourtesy to lawyers, lack of
temperament, reports that he had been
intoxicated, unanimous public criti-
cism of his act at a murder trial. and
the right of the Robeson bar to try it's
cases as it saw fit.

Passing of Boots Out West.

The man who would wear boots to-
day would be regarded as a curiosity.
Pet boots were the rule rather than the
exception thirty years ago. Now it is
a rural neighborhood indeed where
mel wear them. Rubber and felt
boots are still worn by farmers and
Woodmen in some localities, but these
are isolated ones. Yet persons who
are fifty years of age remember we'll
the day when boots were the exclu-
sive footwear for men. Men in the
cities had their boots made to order,
and some of them were very fine and
made a mans foot look we'll. Farmers
and labOrers in out of door employ
ments usually wore heavy boots made
OF cowhide or kip. 1t was the proven
bal custom among these to wear them
with the trousers tucked in the top of
the boots. AS a result cold feet were
a rarity among men compelled to ex-
posture to the coolest weather. Pull
monary diseases were much less fire.
quent among men then than now. The
additional protection to leg and ankle
prevented catching cold" Statistics
are not available, but it stands to rea-
son that with the better protection
afforded there would be less pneu-
monia than without it. The world is
not apt to turn backward and adopt
the customs of earlier generations,
but there can be no question of the
benefit to health to result from boots
again becoming the fashion. He who
possesses a sufficient amount of moral
courage to wear boots and tuck in his
trousers and become thereby an old
fashioned man, might frequently be
stared at, but would unq%uestionabIy
live a longer and happier life.-Den-

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or en-
tertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as systemic
catarrh. This has also been called ca
tarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know the
value of Peruna at such a time, if they
could realize the invigorating, strengthen
ing effect that Peruna would have, how
much misery could be avoided.
Letters from society women all over the
United States testify to the fact that Pc
runa is the tonic for a run down, depleted
nervous system.

gulf coast, known as the "gulf holly"
The old-time Creeks have considerable
knowledge of the medicinal virtues of
the various plants and herbs of the
"old nation" Georgia, Alabama and
Florida.
The holly leaf was a medium used by
them to purify their bodies during re-
ligiOuS ceremonies of the feasts, faSts
and festivities, sometimes called the
great cOndamie." "Ussch" Is what
they termed this medicine. Em-us-
suk-o-kee is of the same character of
construction as the name Uh-chap-ia-

~cha-lo-kaa, hence is derived the name
of Cherokee" the people of the con,

When the Muskogee or Creek In.
dams were first found by the Euro.
pean explorers and the historians they
were the most powerful nation of In.
dams in the southeast of the main
continent of America, and were more
advanced toward civilization than
other tribes of this country. This can
be accounted for by their having an
excellent code Of moral laws which
protected their social conditions. They
had the laws of marriage and divorce.
Any infringement upon these laws
were punished by cutting off the ears
for the first o%ffense, cutting off the
nose for the second o%ffense, and by
death for the third o~ffense.

A YALE SENIOR ENJOINED
E. H. Hurd, 'o4, Must Not Talk to
His New Haven Landlady.
Relatives of Mrs. Foy, an Aged Widow
Worth Half a Million Dollars, A1Iege
He is Getting Her Money.

New Haven, Gonna temporary in
junction has been granted by Judge
James Bishop, i, the Common Pleas
Court, against Ernest H. Hurd, a
senior in the Academic Department Of
Yale, to prevent him from longer liv-
ing in the home of Mrs. Lavinia H.
Foy, a wealthy wido. She is ninety
years old.
Two years ago the relatives of Mrs.
Foy thought she ought to have some
man in the house for protection, and
Hurd, who is twenty-five years old,
was recommended by the college au-
thorities and by the officers of the
Y. NJ. G. A. He was working his way
through Yale, and was very quiet and
studious. His home is in Wilton,
Conn.
1t was reported that Mrs. Foy was
lavishing money on the young stu
dent, and her relatives made an inves-
tigation, the result of which was an ap-
plicatiOn for the injunction to keep
Hurd out of the house and to stop
him from corresponding with the aged
widow. For a month past Hurd has
not been able to enter the house or to
see Mrs. Foy, nor do any of his letters
reach her.
In addition to the injunction. Hurd
has been sued for $1,000, money which
it is alleged Mrs. Foy has let him
have.
The relatives of the widow charge
that Hurd has so Influenced her that
he practically controls her mind. They
charge also that he has obtained from
her large sums of money and that he
also managed to get enough out of
her for the last two summers to take
trips to Europe.
Within a week Mrs. Foy has been in
duced to create a trust of all her prop
erty. By the terms of the trust she is
relieved of all care of her property.
She car do as she likes with the in
come. Upon her death her property
will be disposed of in accordance with
a will she made in 1900. The rela-
tives feared that if the trust was not
established some of her property might
get into the possession of Hurd.
Not long ago Mrs. Foy gave $4,000
to build the Foy Auditorium at the
local Y. NJ. G. A. Her son is former
Adjutant-G General George NJ. Harmon,
of this city. After she had married
Foy she invented a corset which was
named after her. and in the manufac-
ture Of which her. husband made a
vast sum of money. which she inher-
tied.
Young Hurd denies that he used I'M
due influence ove Mrs. Foy. He will
tell his story to the court, when he
will ask to have the temporary injunc-
ton set aside.
