HOW HE BECAME A LAWYER
The story of John Sherman's Adj
mission to the Bar.

When John Sherman was quite
young he WIS taken into the law office
of his brother Charles at Mansfield, o.,
TO help about the office and make him
self generally useful One day when he
was in his twenty-first year he took
Charles one side and quietly asked him
for loan of $50.
what" Charles exclaimed. "What
do you intend doing with so much
money!
Il am going TO Columbus to be ad-
mltted to the bar" John replied.
Charles was greatly surprised, as
John had never asked him for any ad-
vice regarding the profession nor had
he ever appeared to be interested 10 any
extent in the study of law.
you can't be admitted to the bar
without some knowledge of the law"
said Charles
John maintained that he knew more
about law than some others and as
sured his brother that he would try to
raise the money somewhere.
You know" he added, ''it will be
necessary for me to have respectable
clothes and enough money to pay my
travelling and hotel expenses"
Charles finally ordered the clothes
and provided him with the necessary
money. At Columbus on the day he
became of age John was admitted to
the bar. On his return he said to
Charles:
81 am going TO Iowa to practice law"
Charles demonstrated with him.
There is room for both of us to prac-
tice law here in Mansfield" Charles
told him.
They then and there became partners
and continued to practice together un-
til the formation of the Republican
party, when John was sent from the
Mansfield district as a representative
in congress.
Later he was elected to the United
States senate. and the balance of his
life became a very important and in
teresting part of the history of his
country-Washingt Star

Family Dissensfons.

Dissension In families often arises
from lack of mutual consideration
among the members Of the family. The
soft answer that turneth away wrath
is forgotten for the hasty reply, the I'M
kind retort, that kindle the fire of Ill
feeling. Love does not linger in the
home where rudeness shows its unlove-
ly qualities. 1t chooses to dwell in the
home where the spirit of unselfishness,
of self control. of thoughtfulness and
of charltabieness makes the atmos-
phere sweet. The woman who Is quick
to take offense is not like her of whom
Holy Scripture says, ''Her ways are
ways of pleasantness, and all her paths
are peace" Happy homes depend o.
happy hearts, Home is distinctively n
woman's sphere, and she who sweetens
it most makes earth nearer heaven.

CURE FOR HlCCOUGHS.
Simple Scientific Remedy That Gives
Immediate Relief.

An attack of hiccoughs brings its vic
tim less sympathy perhaps than almost
any other ailment, the main reason be-
ing that, except in very rare cases, it
is not attended with fatal results and
that in most cases 1t attacks otherwise
healthy persons. till, it is one of the
most annoying most obstinate of
difficulties. While 4 effort to cure it
Is being made 1t gedtcally disappears,
yet it resists the most vigorous effort
of the will to control its vagaries.
A hiccough is a quick, Involuntary
inspiratory movement of the dia
phragm, brought suddenly to stop
by an involuntary closing of the glot-
lis. The muscles that control these
two portions of the human anatomy
are incessant workers. They wait on
every breath without being guided by
the will and even work while we sleep.
While they do their duty life passes,
tranquil, calm and pacific, but IL from
any cause disturbing element enters
into their bailiwick they rebel, are be-
yond the control of the will and, hav-
ing no guide, as 1t were, run away, and,
like any runaway, have no care for the
damage done. The effort to remove
the disturber Is the cause OF the hic-
cough, and the following method of
treatment arrests these muscles In their
wild escapade, brings them back to
their duties, and, like the patient serv-
ants they are, they resume their work
and life becomes as placid as before:
First, expel all the air from your
lungs very, very quickly. The portion
of the body they attend to is, as it
were, collapsed, and now commences
the next and concluding part OF the
cure
Second, commence to fill your lungs
with air, but do so very slowly, but
steadily. Fucker your mouth, and II
possible leave an opening of your lips
no larger than pin, and through this
inhale the air. Fill your lungs, raise
your arms and throw out your chest.
and when you are full these muscles
resume their regular duties and the
hiccoughs are gone.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
Valuable Territory II Brought 40 the
United states.

thhNtu stittb.
The upper portion of the Louisiana
purchase was known as the territory of
Louisiana. II comprised all that terri
tory north of the thirty third degree of
latitude, eastward TO the Mississippi
and westward and northward as far as
the undetermined boundaries of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South of this was the district of
Orleans. with its seat of government
fixed at New Orleans. The cession of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10, 1904, when.
having received the cession from the
Spanish, the French representative
handed it over TO the agent of the Unit
ed States with very brief and simple
ceremony.
By these unimpressive proceedings
the government of the United States
was put in possession of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Nilsson
ri, Kansas. Iowa, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, the Indian Territory and
parts of the states of Minnesota and
Colorado. The men who were the ac-
tive agents in the transfer of this
mighty land from one national jurisdic-
ton 10 another are well nigh forgotten
In the crowd and rush of later but not
less important events. By this historic
purchase the seat of mighty empire
was forever established. By this pur-
chase the possibilities of developing
from the republic world power were
strengthened. Under our benignant
rule comfort luxury, prosperity and
every variety of material activity fill
the wide spaces in which our fathers
found only trackless wilderness. Com
mon gratitude bids us recall with ac-
claim the names of jefferson, Living
ston and Monroe, who, building better
than they knew, made this magnificent
transformation possible.-Noah Brooks
in Scribner's.

After all other remedies fail, there
still remains a way of getting rid of
rats, and that is by depriying them of
water They can live for very long
time without food and when hard
pressed will not hesitate to eat each
other, but no rat can go twenty-four
hours without drink. Therefore if ev-
cry possible means OF obtaining water
is taken from the rats they will desert

Probably no famous bird has a small
er habitat than the bird of paradise,
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties of this beauti-
full bird are confined to the island OF

of Australia. There are many other

tions would seem to be equally favor

Of his time to telling what terror he
was to boodlers, but failed to explain
why he was on the same ticket with q
man who confessed to being party
to Doodle transaction. His speeches
fell short of what the people had ex-
pected and enthusiasm remained at

COURT HOUSE
CONVENTION
To be Held in Laclede &C.
tober 10.

The Linneus papers this week an
nounce that court house convention
will be held in Laclede on Monday
October 10. Primary conventions
are to be held at the usual voting
places in the county on Saturday, Oc-
tober 8, at 2 p. M, to select delegates
to said county convention, the basis
of representation being one delegate
for every so votes or major fraction
thereof cast by all political parties at
the general election held in this coun-
ty in 1902. According to the call
Jefferson township is entitled to 8
delegates.
The object of the convention is stat
ed to be to determine whether two
court houses are to be built in Linn
county-one at Brookfeld and one at
Linneus-fxing the respective
amounts therefor, or whether one
court house shall be built at Linneus.
In this move the city of Linneus is
represented by Edward Barton, H. j.
Wigginton, D. B. Ormiston, A. w.
Mullins and E. R. Stephens. Brook
field is represented by Henry Tooey,
Thos. Halliburton, Walter Brownlee,
M. G. Post and E. NJ. Lomax. The
balance of the county is not represent
ed. 1t is generally understood that
the committee is in favor of two court
houses and is making an effort to Sc
cure delegates enough favorable to
that side of the question to control
the convention.
The BLADE reiterates what it said
a few weeks ago, that two court houses
are not needed in Linn county and
any move in that direction should be
promptly sat down on. There hasn't
been enough cases on the court dock
cts the past two years, if all put to-
gether, to make two terms of solid
court work, and the proposition to
vote bonds for a court hall at Brook
field in addition to court house at
Linneus is something the people
should not, and, we believe, will not,
stand for.
Linn county is badly in need of
new court house and a safe place for
the county records and in order to
get it the movement must be started
right. Otherwise it will fail. Now
is the time for the taxpayers to be.
come interested and see that delegates
are elected who will act for the best |
interests of the whole county and not
for any one or two towns.

charge, in limited numbers, to parties
properly identified and showing some
reason why they should receive it.
