why His Mother Recommended Him
to Colonel IngersOII.
Among the stories which Colonel
Bob Ingersoll delighted to tell was the
following, says the writer Of Amer
lca's Most Popular Men,"
While studying law with firm out
west the colonel found himself alone In
the office one day. He was interrupted
by the entrance of a raw boned, sharp
featured countrywoman, who ambled
into the room leading a freckle faced,
watery eyed ten-year-old boy by the
hand.
"Air you the lawyer?" she began.
On being answered in the affirmative
she went on to say that she had
brought her boy Jim to town for the
purpose of binding him out at the
"lawyerin' trade" She was morally
certain, she averred, that Jim was a
born lawyer and that all he needed was
chance.
But, madam" objected the colonel,
"he is entirely tec-Eaung to begin the
study of law"
"Too young, indeedr' shifted the fond
mother contemptuously. ''You don't
know Jim. He was born for a law
yer"
Much amused, the colonel asked her
on what grounds she based her hopes
Of future at the bar for her darling
child
Why" said she, when he was only
seven years old he struck work, and
he wouldn't do another lick if he nc.
killed for it. When he was eight he got
sassy and put on more airs than a
prize horse at country fair, and now.
Lor' bless me, he jest freezes on to

Found Dying In Wite'S Arms With
Pistol Lying Near.
Swainsboro Ca, July 12-Henry Co
vens, young man living about Is
miles above here, met his death in a
mysterious way.
A pistol shot, accompanied by Sc
we're screams, attracted the attention
Of neighbors who, on their arrival
found Covena dead a bullet having
passed through his brain. 1t was his
wife who was screaming and holding
Covena's head in her arms.
Her account of the affair is that
Covena shot himself and that she ran
from the house and raised his head
from the sandy road and asked him if
he was hurt and he said he was. A
pistol was found about Is yards away,
and she says that she took the pistol
from him and threw it away.
The neighbors say that the tracks
show that Covena and a woman were
walking side by side. Mrs. Covena
was known to carry a pistol.
Covena had been married only a few
months.
