LEGAL CODE IN TERRITORY.

|.
 Down in my country said Will liam Zeveley, of Muskogee, I. T., there was a lawyer named McGaun who was retained to defend an old chap charged with killing q man. McGann got his client out on bail, and the client. not satisfied with the slow working of the law, thought to settle things for himself and in his Cw,i favor.
 ''IIe went out one day and killed the chief witness for lis own prose- curion. The sheriff went after hiin but he lived near the Arkansas line, and hopped over into that state ev- cry time a posse approached. Fiji nally a reward of $500 was offered for the murderer. McGann was short of money and went to the sher- iff Bill he said, will you give me that $500 reward if get that man for you?"
 Sure said the sheriff. McGann drove out to the old fellows place and found him in one of the fields, but carrying a rife. When the man saw his lawyer he put rown his rife. McGann drew bead on him with his own rifle and ordered him to throw up his hands. The old man began shooting, and McGann shot him through the head and killed him.
 ''He toted the body in and claimed 1 his reward. The sheriff gave him an order on the county treasurer for the $500. As he was going to collect the money McGann met another lawyer. 1 Say McGann,' said the other law yer, was it right for you to Kill that man? Was 1t in accordance with the ethics of the profession for you to get him when he was your client?'
 Ethics, thunderl' shouted Me 1 Gam, T killed him in another case.' -Pittsburg Gazette.

CONTRABAND TOBACCO
 IN ENGLAND

What becomes of the contraband to- bacco seized by the. customs? The early practice was to bury it. This senseless waste was suspended for d time by the happy idea of distributing the tobacco among the troop-ships
 That did not last long, and next year we hear of the contraband being smoked in the queens pipe" a nuge receptacle which could turn 'hundreus of tons into smoke in a few hours" Again the misgiying of the waste troI- bled the authorities, and they took t. regaling the criminal lunatics in ce tain government asylums. Any tobac- co that was left over was orderel for the use of troops sent on foreign ser vice. But that luxury seems to hava been cut off once more. although the criminal lunatics still enjoy their pipes and cigars.
 vne attempt was made to throw the contraband, when it was slightly dam- aged, on the market, but this caused an outcry from the tobacco trade. The whole story is pleasing tribute to the intelligence which administers the pub lie service..-Macmillan' Magazine.

| do not recall a case where finders have presented books in hopes of with drawing money. It would be almost impossible for a person not the owner of the book to withdraw cent on the account. At the time of the original deposit the depositor before getting a book has to answer certain questions which are framed to fix the deposftor's identity, and to protect the depositor. The depositor must also leave an autograph on the bank register. When ever money is withdrawn these ques- tions must be answered and the auto graph attached to an order. This is an affectual test. Each book is num- bered and bears rthe depositor's name.
 We have been asked if depositors would not be better protected if banks omitted the name from the book and simply numbered it. We can see no advantage in that. The plan would not defeat the purposes of a thief, for one who would steal a bank book would know the name of the owner, and the withdrawal of deposits is so well guarded that even with the own CTS name finder could not get mon ey from the bank.
 There are probably from 1,2OO to 1,5OO books lost every year, of which 400 to 500 eventually turn up. That means from one-third to two-fifths of per cent of the whole number of books out disappear. and one-thirI of that number get to the owners. Where the rest go is puzzle not to be solved

THE OLDEST LIVING THING.

Said to be Huge Cypress Tree 6,260
 Years Old.
 ''The statement recently made that there are yews in England which are the oldest living things on earth," MT Thomas Ireland said lis not correct"
 ''These yews are old, very old; there is no doubt about that; some of them were stalwart trees even before Cae- sar landed on these shores. There is one now standing in the churchyard at Fortingal in Perthshire, Decandole, nearly Il century ago proved to the sat isfaction of botantsts to be over twenty five centuries old, and another at Hedsor in Buclas, which is 3,2to years old How Decandole arrived at an apparently correct estimate of the enormous age of these living trees IS simple thing, and the principe IS doubtless we'll known to-day to all. The yew, like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of an 1ncn, to it's circumference each year He proved this after an investigation ex- tending over several years, and we know now. hundred years later, that his deductions were correct. The old q diameter. proving it's great age, and 1t is in f1ourishing, healthy condition now, like its broother at Portugal. Their years are few, though, compar- ed with hose of trees I had in mind when I made my first assertion that the statement printed about them in a scientific journal was incorrect In one chapter of his writings Hum- boldt refers to a giant boabab tree III Central Africa as the oldest organic monument ill the world. This tree has trunk 29 feet in diameter, and -Ada- son. by series of careful measure ments. demonstrated conclusively that it had lived for not less than J,150 years.
 'Still it is not the oldest organic monument in the world, as Humbo'd dt declared for now Mexican scientists have proved that huge cypress tree standing in .Chepultapec with a trunk 11S feet and 10 inches in circumfer- ence, is older than it-older, too. by more than 8 .nousand years-for it l has been shown as conclusively as | these things can be shown, that it's age 1 is about 6.260 years. To become im- pressed with wonder over this, one has only to dwell on that duration for q 1 little while in thought.
 'sYet 1t is not so remarkable when one stops for a moment to remembe" tLat given favorable conditions for it's growth and sustenance, the average l tree will never die of old age-its death is merely an accident. Other younger and more vigorous trees may spring up near it, and perhaps rob it's roots of their proper nourishment; insects may kill it, floods or winds may sweep it l away, or it's roots may come in con- l tact with rock and become so gnarled 1 and twisted, because they have moi l room to expand in lleir growth, that that they literally throttle the avenues of it's sustenance; but these are acci- dents. If such things do not happen a tree may live on for century after century, still robust, still fourishines. sheltering with it's widespreading branches the men and women of age after age.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

NUMBER OF BANK BOOKS LOST.
Cashier of One Institution Says on an
 Average Five a Day.

G4S0lor or OQo 1nS1LuClOn says on an
 Average Five a Day.
 If we don't have at least five per sons every day come iii here to give notice of their lost bank book, we think 1t unusual" said cashier of one of the city banks recently. T haven't any theories about it, but it.is a fact that there are twice as many of these books lost in the summer time as there are in the winter.
 As soon as the book is reported lost check is made against it in the bank, and the loser is requested to advertise the loss. For from a fort night to thirty days ensuing no money can be withdrawn on that account, un- less the book shall be found. If not found the depositor must apply for a new book. Generally an affidavit must first be made that the loser cannot find the book and that 1t has not been transferred or assigned
 "All this is scarcely necessary, but it makes bank absolutely safe in re- spect to that deposit, and 1t puts the depositor to enough trouble to make him or her careful thereafter Every thing having been performed as out lined, the depositor may get new book. which means opening a new ac- count. as accounts are never duplica- ted.

 Particularly necessary with the gir- dle is well cut corset. Graceful and stylish woman is sure to appear in a properly modelled corset, and as good models of the best makers, such as the C-B a la Spirite, come in prices to suit every purse, there is no excuse for woman presenting a dowdy fig ure. and thus spelling the appearance of her gown.
