Darius Livingstone appeared as counsel
for the complainant. Yes, he was there
In all his dignity, and he didn't seem
a bit frightened that it was his first
case and that he was matched against
one of the oldest and smartest LAWYERS
In the county. He nodded to Prue and
would have done the same to her moth
er had she not just then been engaged
in whispering to her daughter:
'Prue Johnson, look over therel As
true as you live your bean pole of a
young man is going to take the case
against me. That's another specimen
of his cheek You wait, however
When Parsons gets through with him

Surprise after surprise was the order
of the day. The plaintiff really had a
chattel mortgage on the cows. They
had been driven away and sold. In
buying them Mrs. Johnson had taken
the sellers work Her lawyer argued
that this was customary, but "bean
pole brought in six witnesses to prove
TO the contrary. Mrs. Johnson was

even chicken without being guaran-

her case, and before it was concluded
MI Parsons was made to look extreme
~ foolish. The jury gave a verdict for
the plaintiff and Prue shed tears be-
meath her veil and realized that she
would see no more of Lincoln No. ..
She was in despair when her mother
walked up to the young attorney and
held out her hand, saying:
Sir, | am blunt and plain spoken

LINcoLN'S GROCERY.
Result of One Partners Hunger anc
the Other Partners Thirst.

Result of One Partners Hunger and
the Other Partners Thirst.
A giant in stature, he was as awk
ward as he was strong. His rustic APP
pearance was enhanced by an Ill fitting
suit of homespun. Thus at the head of
the OK team he made his debut in the
outer world, without means, without
education, without influence. This may
seem a sorry beginning, but let it be
remembered that if on that day he had
graduated from Harvard in a fashion
able coat the gates of history would
probably have been closed against him.
Mr. Iincoln's first business venture
resulted in downright failure. He
formed a partnership with one Berry,
under the firm name of Berry & Lin
coin, to carry on a grocery, for the pur-
chase price of which the firm note was
given. Berry was jolly, irresponsible
SOUL who was born thirsty and who
gave his undivided attention to that
part of the stock known as wet gro
ceries." Mr. Lincoln, on the other
hand having a keen appetite, devoted
himself to the crackers and cheese,
smoked behring's and other edibles at
the dry end of the shop. This happy
adjustment rivaled the familiar case
of Jack Sprat and his congenial spouse,
but the meager stock could not long
withstand the inroads of hunger at the
one end and thirst at the other, and a
crisis came which required the sale of
the remnant of stock. The purchaser
defaulted, and Mr.. Lincoln was left to
pay all the liabilities-a task which
plagued him for several years. There
by he had impressed upon him legal
proposition that a partner Is liable in
solido.
1t is related that Mr.. Lincoln bought
a barrel of customer, in the bottom
of which, among other rubbish, was
found q copy of "Blackstone's Com
mentaries." This was a great find for
the law student, but as the book there
after engrossed his attention the gro
Gerry business collapsed. Thus ended
the first lesson.-J. V. Quarles in Put
MANS.

The Smiths had invited the minister
to dinner. AS the last course wos

closely watching the guest almost con-
tinually through the meal, looked over
at him once more and said:

"Why do you ask that question:

THEY CRITICIZE DRESS

Americans dress well, says the Paris
correspondent OF Truth, and IL seems to
mo the least wealthy dress in the best

amounting to passion for what is pretty,
dainty cunning and amusingy fanciful.
The latter | admit, is first cousin TO
chic. But prettiness IL the negation OF
higher beauty, and this most French wo-
men are artistic enough 10 see
Spanish American ladies and Brazillans
are also infatuated with the passion for
what is pretty, and do not lose II In
Europe. which the North American often
does.

to adjoining property and caused a
loss estimated at s1,000,000, A delay

was four stories, OF brick and was vs,ll
filled with tobacco.
The flames spread to Moss cigar fac.
tory adjoining, a five-story brick build =
ing, which was also destroyed. When
the south wall OF the cigar factory fell
the only truck of the fire department
was buried In the debris and a num-
ber of fremen had narrow escapes. The
loss on the warehouse Is placed at
100000 and on the cigar factory at
100000.
The warehouse of the American Cigar
company, 10 the north OF the Moss
buildings, caught fire, but was not
greatly damaged. To the east of the
cigar factory five dwellings were
ruined.
on the oppositt side OF the street are
several large tobacco warehouses, and
In their rear are immense freight
sheds OF the Pennsylvania railroad. The
wind swept the flames against these
warehouses and when the fire was ap-
parently beyond control appeals were
made TO Harrisburg and Columbia for
help, the request later being counter
manded. The loss will run the damage
up to a million dollars
