BAD TRICK OF A GOOD TRADE.
Lawyers Point Out Evils of Personal In
jury Litigation.

''The most serious evil of modern prac-
tice' This is the significant verdict pro-
nounced upon the present abuse of per-
sonal injury litigation.
The words are used, not by the en-
ployers who suffer through this abuse,
but by the Green Bag, a magazine pub
lished by and for lawyers themselves.
Practically the entire, current number is
devoted to this one subject.
One of the writers, in discussing the
notorious runners, tells of a case in
which the day after a street car collision
thirty-four suits were brourht from one
office in favor of passengers. Drug stores
and bar rooms are subsidized; it is care
fully noised abroad that so and so is
good for twenty-five dollars if a safe
case is sent him.
A case in most of our large cities, must
wait at least two years before it reaches
a jury. The cost of a trial is large, and
since this must come out of the lawyers
pocket, unless a verdict is won, he makes
the cases that he wins pay for those that
he loses.
Even a handsome verdict is pared
down by counsefs and doctors commits
sions and the cost of trial to such an ex
tent that plaintiff would generally fare
better if he had taken the bedside set

insurance company. Many an uninsured

Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.


An old soldier, released from coffee
at y, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
Il stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
+ about eight years ago Gas result
of coffee-drinking, which congested my
liver) / was taken with a very severe
attack Of malarial fever.
Il would apparently recover and start
about my usual work only to su1er
relapse. After this had been repeated
several times during the year l was
again taken violently Ill.
THE Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
coffee or die advising me to take
Postum in its place. l had always
thought coffee one Of my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
I was very much taken back by the
Doctors decision, for 1 hadn't suspect
ed the coffee l drank could possibly
cause my troubles.
II thought it over for few minutes
and finally told the Doctor l would
make the change. Postum was procured
for me the same day and made accord
ing to directions; well, l liked it and
stuck to it, and since then l have been
new man. The change in health be-
gan in a few days and surprised me,
and now, although l am seVenty-tWo
years of age, l do lots of hard work,
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles a day
besides loading and unloading the
wagon That's what Postum in the
place Of coffee has done for me. l now

WILD BEASTS IN CALIFORNIA.
Dynamiters Drive Them from Mountains
to Settlements in Valleys

Wild beasts-California lions, wildcats,
lynx, etc.-are very numerous in the vi
cinity of French creek, and, in fact, all
along the ridge. These animals are sup
posed to have been driven out of the
nearly inaccessible canyons, where they
have been practically undisturbed for
ages past, by the invasion of the thou
sands of railroad men and the noise of
the continued explosion of hundreds of
tons of dynamite. They have sought
shelter nearer the confines of civiliza-
ton.
A few days ago one of the pack train
men was confronted by a large lion who
evidently intended to dispute the right
of-way with him, and he believes he
would have been attacked but for the
opportune explosion of a heavy blast in
the canyon below, which frightened the
beast. He turned and crashed into the
thicket out of sight
So bold have the animals become that
residents are very much alarmed. Half
grown calves and other domestic animals
are carried off with impunity.
One of the laborers, on Monday even
ing, started for surveyors camp about
a mile from French creek with a sack
of fresh beef. Before going far he found
he was being followed by a lion, which
kept barely 100 yards behind him. When
he would stop the lion would stop. He
dared not run, although tempted to do
so, for he felt sure he would then be
attacked. He thought of throwing the
meat away, but he reasoned if he did
so the animal would devour it almost in
stantly, and emboldened by the taste of
fresh blood would surely attack him and
he would be utterly helpless, as he was
unarmed.
Nearly dead with fright he managed
to reach camp, and in the dusk the glar-
ing eyes of the lion could be plainly seen
peering from the underbrush The lion
is naturally cowardly, but will readily
attack man when hungry.-Oroville

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness Is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
