.UncIe Joey as a Young Lawyer.

"Uncle Joe" as a Young Lawyer.
''Uncle Joe" Cannon tells this story
Of his early days in the practice Of
the law in Illinois, says the New York
Evening Post.
Patrick Mcdonald, an Irishman, was
a well-known character in the town
of Danville. He was a loud talker
and was constantly putting in" where
he wasn't wanted.
Harrison Wheelock, who was known
throughout the country by the con-
traction of Hat" was another local
celebrity. WheelOck was talking with
a fellow citizen in the main street one
afternoon, when Mcdonald came up
and attempted to participate in the
conversation. Get out of this" said
WheelOck, and when Mcdonald at
tempted to parley, the former made
lunge at him with his strong right
arm.
Mcdonald ran like the wind, and
Wheelock was close after him. Later
in the day Wheelock was placed under
arrest by a constable on a, warrant
sworn out by Mcdonald who charged
that Wheelock had threatened him,
and that he felt his life endan-
gered.
Hat" Wheelock retained Cannon,
then a young lawyer struggling for
ACPOIalAOily " ucl6Ilu HILL Inc case,
which was heard before a local JUS
tice, attracted a large number of the
townsmen. Mcdonald had given his
version of the affair." when Uncle
joe started in to the cross examina-
ton. After leading him on for
while, Cannon asked, in all serious
ness:
Mr.. Mcdonald, you say that you
are afraid of being deprived of
your life by the defendant"
Il do, sor," Mcdonald replied.
Then you admit that Mr.. Vince
lock, the defendant. can whip you?"
Not by long sight. 1 kin lick
dozen of him"
That's all, Mr.. Mcdonald" re-
sponded the young attorney.
That's all, your Honor" he said,
turning to the court.
The justice, with great dignity, dis
missed the case.

HEARING FROM GREAT BRITAIN.

| Yesterday the British ambassador to
st. Petersburg presented a strong pro-
test to Russia against the seizure OF
the steamer MALAGA in the Red sea.
| The steamer had as a cargo 300 tons
| of British government stores for the
| British naval station at Hong Kong.
1t seems that all of the packages were
marked with the government stamp.
| Therefore the Russians couldn't have
been mistaken in regard to their char
| acter.
| 1t seems that the British ambassa-
| dor also made a general protest
| against the course that is being pur-
! sued by the Russian volunteer fleet in
| the Red sea. If Russia wants to keep
on good terms with Great Britain and
| Germany she will be very careful
about Selling vessels flying the flags
| of those countries. OF course this
country wouldn't stand any tnterfer-
ence with its commerce not permitted
by the law of nations. There is very
little probability, however. of Ameri-
can merchant ships being in the vicin-
lily of the locality in which the Rus
sian cruisers are operating.
Quite recently a German ship, the
Prinz Heinrich, of the North German
Lloyd line, was stopped by one of
these Russian cruisers and thirty
sacks of mail matter taken from her
This mail matter was being carried to
Japan. Germany at once entered
vigorous protest.
The position taken by Russia is that
she has right under the law of ma
tons to prevent neutral vessels from
carrying contraband of war to her
enemy, and that she can lawfully
seize such contraband articles wher-
ever she discovers them on the route
She may be right in this position but
she must not make any mistakes Her
cruisers must not be too perniciously
active. 1t is certain that Great Brit
ain and Germany are not going to
have their merchantmen held up by
these cruisers of the volunteer fleet of
Russia whenever some petty Russian
officer has a suspicion that there are
articles on board OF them that are in
tended for the use of the military
forces of Japan.
The protest which each of these ma
tons has made indicates that the
activity of the Russian cruisers will
have to be curbed if Russia doesn't
want to have to meet on the sea other
guns than those manned by japanese.
AS a matter of fact there is beginning
to be inquiry as to whether or not
Russia has not violated treaty obliga-
tions by sending war ships through
the Dardenelles. 1t is claimed that
these Russian cruisers that are dis
turbing the commerce of neutral ma
tons passed from the Black sea
through the Dardenelles into the Med
iterranean by sharp practice.

THROW transpires, that Uncle" Rus
rell Sage didn't know what he was
talking about, when he wrote in a
magazine article some weeks ago that
vacations were wicked, sinful and
wasteful; that they were unnecessary,
and that he never took one. The fact
seems to be that the old mOney-grub-
Der has been taking vacations regu-
larly, year after year, for quite a long
while, without knowing it. Mrs. Sage,
it seems, has control Of the vacation
end of the establishment. At a GER
tain date each season she informs her
husband at breakfast, MY dear, we
are going to the summer home to-mor-
row." And tomorrow they go, to a
delightful cottage on the salts on Long
Island. The old gentleman is at lib
erty to visit the city every day if he
wants to, and delve among his bonds
and coupons and bank bills and put
and CALI contracts, but every after
noon he goes back to the cottage on
the salts and swings in a hammock or
drives behind his favorite horse. He
may imagine that he is not having d
vacation. But he is. just the same,
and Mrs. Sage knows it if he doesn't.
Those Guatemalan ants seem to be
exerting themselves to vindicate DR..
Cooks good opinion of them. Shortly
after they were released on the Texas
plantations DR.. Cook wired Washing
ton that they at once began destroying
the weevils, the worms and other In
furious insect life about the cotton
fields, but leaving unframed the lady
birds and other beneficial insects. The
doctor then expressed the opinion that
the accIimation and propagation Of the
ants only needed to be assured 20 prove
their permanent value. And now it
seems the ants have gone to work to
set at rest all doubts on those points.
They have already built nests as much
as fourteen inches deep, in one week,
no doubt in anticipation of raising fam
lilies at safe distance under the sur
face of the ground. At "a depth of
fourteen inches the nests will not be
disturbed by blowing ana the young
families next season will come up
fresh to take up the work of hestruc-
ton of the weevils where their parents
left off in the fall.

THE TAX on DRUGGISTS.

IL the Senate approves the medicine
tax which the House has inserted in
the tax bill a big percentage of the
DRUGGISTS OF the state will find it pref
ty hard to meet expenses and make a
living. 1t is fact probably that out
side of the cities half of the business
of druggists is made up of the sale of
patent medicines, and most of these
medicines doubtless have alcohol in
them. Druggists that have big
business in patent medicines can afford
to pay the tax, but there are very
many of them that will have to 60 out
of business, If the proposed tax be-
comes part of the tax law
AS we understand it the proposition
to tax medicines which have basis of
alcohol comes from the prohibition
counties, where people insist upon
having alcohol in some form or other.
In the states which have been in the
control of prohibitionists for years
there is large amount of stuff of one
kind and another sold that carries al
cohol. The people will have alcohol,
and If they can't get it in whisky or
patent medicines they will get it
through blind tigers or in some other
way
The best and surest way to free peo-
pie from the drink habit is to educate
them against 1t. There isn't half as
much whisky drunk per capita now as
there was fifty years ago. Then the
bottle was kept on the sideboard i'm
about every house, and the drinking of
liquors was much more common than
it is now.
We doubt if the proposed druggist tax
on patent medicines will accomplish the
purpose which the prohibitionists have
in view. 1t will simply drive those
who have been satisfying themselves
with the little alcohol they get in a
patent medicine of some sort to other
methods of satisfying their desire for
alcohol.
And a large number of people i'm
every county will be deprived of med
icines which they have been using for
years, and in which they have more
confidence than they have in doctors.
Most of the patent medicines which
have a basis of alcohol contain such a
small amount of that article that II is
not sought as drink by anybody but
it is probable that the druggists who
sell them would have to pay the pro-
posed tax of $500. Such "A tax as this
should not be adopted hastily.

Don't eat hot or fresh bread If you

Don't drink iced water. Cool water

Don't eat much meat in hot weather if
you would keep your skin free from

Don't eat ice cream too fast. Eaten

it can do no harm.
Don't eat when very tired, if you ex-

Don't eat cold, starchy foods, like po-

Don't drink much water at meals, but

Don't eat more than one hearty meal
