SOME LAWYERS FEES
CLIENTS CALLED ON 70 PAY
QUEER CHARGES.
According to London Newspaper
Gratitude Is Not Striking Feature
In the Makeup Of English Pleaders
at the Bar Of Justice.

Some curious evidence was recently
given in case which turned on a
solicitors charge, one witness testify.
ing that the man of law had remarked
that "winks would have to be paid
sor,' says Stray Stories, London.
That some very curious items are
found occasionally in a solicitors bill
of costs was amply borne out by q
legal gentleman whom representa-
tive of this paper recently consulted
On the subject.
"A managing clerk who was once
in my employment" began the man Of
law, made such a favorable impress
sion on client that one day the latter
showed his appreciation of my clerks
efforts on his behalf by incontinently
taking off valuable diamond pin he
vas wearing and presenting it to him.
That unconscionable clerk of mine
actually made a charge for receiving
it, as follows:

Thanks to his legal advisers, he

was study. But the champion item

winning a case that he invited his

celebrate the victory.
THE food, che wines, the cigars
and other concomitants were of the
finest and most expensive kinds and q
most enjoyable dinner was followed

However,, all through the festivi.

ciall-Whole families in Bayfield,

Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason
why is given in experiences such as

Void, "and as came across an adver-

Backache is one of the earliest
symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd' S

ALFALFA VS.. CLOVER.
Deadly Parallel Drawn Between the
Two Eoraue Crops.

Deadly Parallel Drawn Between the
Two Forage Crops.
Alfalfa Is ready for cutting full
month before red clover. There is a
strong advantage in dairy farming,
since green crops are needed at the
earliest possible moment in the
spring. After cutting, alfalfa springs
into growth more promptly than clov-
er and second crop is produced
within six to eight weeks. Clover
lasts two years and alfalfa ten to
thirty years. In New Jersey the av-
erage yield of green forage per acre
was 36,540 pounds for alfalfa and H.
GOO pounds for red clover. The
weights Of dry hay were 8,25S pounds
and 4,OS8 pounds, and of protein 2,214
pounds and GIG pounds per acre, re-
spectively. In the same state alfalfa
was found to contain 1909 pounds OF
dry matter and 265 pounds of protein
per ton, as compared with 1854
pounds and 246 pounds for clover.
In other words alfalfa not only yields
two and one-half times as much as
red clover, but its feeding value is
much greater pound for pound

Then he set the Yankee hoeing

farmer came along TO see how he was

the Yankee lying on the ground, fast
asleep under hedge. The farmer
gave him push and said:

Ground Broke TOT ths HeW Oepot.
 Tuesday morning ground was broken for construction of a new depot for the Southern Pacific Co.,, at Nogales, to replace the structure destroyed by fire year ago. The new edi6ce, which was described from the plans by TIE OASIS sev- eral weeks ago. will be a splendid stone structure, with terra cotta tiled roof, and will be the finest depot building upon the Southern Pacific system. There are of course larger depot buildings, but nowhere have they been built any more elegantly nor conveniently.
 Much criticism has been extend ed the Southern Pacific Company and it's officials for the time which has elapsed since complete des- truction of the old depot, in June of last year, to the present time, without replacing it; but the critics have been invariably persons with no knowledge of the amount of work involved in plans and pre- paration. And there is another point involved that hardly anyone has understood: which is that had Mir. Naugle, manager in Sonora for the Southern Pacific, been willing to accept of any old kind of de pot Nogales would very likely had some sort of q structure long months ago; but he devoted him. self to securing model depot building, and he labored long and assiduously with higher officials, whose say in such matters is final, to induce them to accept and ap- prove plans for such a building as he desired to erect. Higher auth ority failed to sympathize with MT. Naugle's ambitions in that line, and it was only by the most per- sistent yet tactful insistence that the gentleman finally compassed their approval of the plans he had presented, and ordered construc- ton upon those lines. Accom- plishing that result was the work of many months, through a long and extended correspondence. And during all that time, while Mr. Naugle was laboring so assiduously for results worth while, one of the 3-ep daily alleged newspapers of Nogales was almost daily clamor- ing for new depot. GAS it's con- ductors go upon the plan that as most anything will serve for 8 newspaper in Nogales, they pro- bably thought that most any kind of an old depot would do. Such people have no comprehension of or appreciation for excellence in any kind of human endeavor. With the point carried and the plans proposed by Mir. Naugle adopted, 1t was necessarily a mat ter of some time before the actual work of construction could be reached But it is now at hand, and within a short time Nogales will again add to it's array of pub lie buildings another fine and ele- ,yo,,t a1sEoa

A New Camp.

At Gro Grande, about three miles from the Milpias ranche, in the extreme south end of the Altar district of Sonora, Mir. J. D. Snyder is developing some very promising copper properties from which he anticipates great results. He has denounced four claims, viz: Sierra Alta, Monarch 7 "Famosa" and Las Cruces They aggregate more than 200 pertenencias and present splendid surface showing of copper ores carrying gold. Great ledges or deposits of copper ore run through the ground, in some cases standing ten or twelve feet above the surface. That in the Sierra Alta ground is more than 100 feet in width, and returns good assays wherever sampled. The Monarch, Famosa and Las Cruces also pre- sent handsome surface showings. In the Sierra Alta a tunnel is run ming to cut the ledge, at a depth of 400 feet, and has now only fifteen feet farther to go before it will penetrate the ore.
