One day man entered Daniel Web
ster's office and consulted him in re-
gard to a prospective lawsuit. At the
close of the conference he paid the at
torney a retainer of 500 to look after
the matter. Upon returning to his
place of business he found that his
partner had already settled the suit,
obtaining the sum demanded without
an attorney. He thought 500 was al
together too much for an Office fee. SO
he dispatched his clerk to look after
the subject.
"Mr. Webster" said the young man,
my employer thinks you should re-
turn part of your retainer. That
case has been settled"
young man." said the lawyer, you
go back and tell your employer that a
retainer is something to be retained"

English GAS She Is WrOte.0

Some ludicrous mistakes are made
by some Of the French Canadian people
in our New England cotton mill towns
in their attempt to master English.
One summer grain dealer in Som
ellsworth, n. H., received a written
order from one of his French custom
ers, which read as follows.
please send
II bag hole corn.
II NIX field.
IS pounds acid.''
The clerk, who has had many years
experience with these people, said at
once, 'Send him a bag Of whole corn.
a bag of mixed feed and five pounds Of
grass seed, or, as the French people put
it, 'hayseed.' p"
And he was right.
At another time an order was re-
ceived for a bag Of corn broke" and
at still another an order for a bag of
corn not broke. '-Boston Herald.

John Obeyed.


Mrs. +. was a very stern woman.
who demanded instant and unques-
tiOning obedience from her children,
says Chums. One afternoon as she
was working in her sewing room a
storm came up, and she sent her son
John to close the trap leading to the
fiat roof of the house.
"But, mother said John.
"John, told you to shut the trap"
Eyes, but, mother
"John, shut that trap''
Cali right, mother, if you say So
butt
"John!
John slowly climbed the stairs and
shut the trap. The afternoon went by,
and the storm howled and ragged. Two
hours later the family gathered for
tea, and when the meal was half over
Aunt Mary, who was staying with
Mrs. f., had not appeared Mrs. F.
started an investigation. She did not
have to ask many questions. John an
swered the first one.
please, mother, she is up on the
roof" .;,...

Physical Culture.

A rational system of physical cul-
ture should insure to every man and
woman who adopts it perfectly erect,
poised figure, straight spine, broad,
deep and capacious chest, uplifted and
flexible, and harmonious development
Of all the muscles. He or she should
be easy and graceful in every move
ment, possessed Of marked muscular
power and endurance, splendid health
and a voice of notable equality and
power.
So much would the rational system
Of physical development do for those
who followed it, and any method which
will not accomplish all Of these things,
even for its least promising students,
is in so much incomplete and false. The
object Of physical culture methods is
to render the body more perfect In
strument, more strong. more enduring.
more obedient, to the commands Of the
will.-Outing Magazine.

INVESTIGATING STADARD OIL.
Bids Fair to Reveal Many Gross Rail-
road lrreouIaritieS.

Chicago, May 10.-The inquiry by
the government through the inter-
state commerce commission into the
relations between the Standard Oil
and the railroads commenced here to-
day. Two of the points upon which
it is said the investigation will en-
deaver to throw light are the matter
of the pipe lines of the Standard Oil
railroads right of way, and the pur-
chase Of Galena oil by the railroads
for headlight and signal purposes.
The first witness was E. NJ. Will
holt of Topeka Kansas, now an in
dependent oil operator, who ten years
ago, was an agent of the Standard
Oil company. He said that while in
the employe Of the Standard Oil COM
pany he had, in following out the in
structions of his superior officers,
bribed clerks in the offices Of railroads
and employees Of independent oil con-
Germs in order to obtain information
of the details of the business done by
the rivals of the Standard company.
He declared that the agents of the
Standard company are held person
ally responsible for all oil sold in
their territories by Independent COM
panies and that the drivers of tank
wagons are expected to keep up their
stock by selling 205 to 20S gallons
from a wagon of 200 gallons. He said
the actual tests of the product of the
Standard company to determine the
quality are carefully guarded and
that when it was found necessary to
cut the price to meet the figure of
competitor cheaper quality Of oil
was substituted and guaranteed to be
of higher grade than it really was
Mr.. Wilhoit said that fully three
grades Of oil were sold from the same
tank by agents Of the Standard on
company.

Two Odd Volumes.

The book done by a French monk
who instead of writing the words cut
the letters from the vellum page and
formed sort of stencil has it's opposite
in a Swedish translation of the four
gospels, which was done in gold and
silver leaf. The initial letters are cut
from thin sheets of beaten gold done in
delicate tracery, while the body Of the
text is of heavy silver The foil Is ce-
mented to the parchment page with an
adhesive which in spite of the undoubt-
ed antiquity of the book has not lost
its powers. Most freak books We're
evidently done to perpetuate the name
Of the ingenious owner, but this carries
absolutely no information as to its
maker.
A more modern freak Is the output Of
Lyons silk weaving firm and Is a
prayer book in which the letters are
woven into the silk. But one copy was
made Of the book. and this Is In the
government library at Paris.

Laugh and Live Long.

It has been aptfy said that there is
not the remotest corner Of the inlet Of
the minute blood vessels of the human
body that does not feel some wavelet
from the convulsions occasioned by
good hearty laughter. The life princi-
pie Of the central man Is shaken to its
innermost depths. sending new tides Of
lite and strength to the surface. thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more rapidly
and conveys q different impression to
all the organs Of the body as It visits
them on that PARTICULAR mystic journey
when the man b laughing from that
conveyed at other times. For this rea-
soo every good. hearty laugh in which
q person tndulees tends to lengthen his

tnct stimulus 20 the vital forces.
