Getting Even with the Lawyers.

Overshrewd lawyers often furnish their
adversaries with weapons. "Did you see
this tree that has been mentioned by the
roadside?" an advocate inquired.
"Yes, sir, saw it very plainly"
SIT was conspicuous, thenr'
The witness seemed puzzled by the new
word. He repeated his former assertion.
"What's the difference" sneered the
lawyer, "between plain and conspicuous"
But he was hoist with his own petard.
The witness innocently answered:
81 can see you plainly, sir, among the
other lawyers, though you are not bit
conspicuous"
In another witness blow directed
against the character Of a witness forcibly
recoiled.
"You were in the company OF these peo-
ple?" he was asked.
''Of two friends, SIR"
"Friends; two thieves, suppose you
mean"
''That may be true" was the dry retort;
''they are both lawyers"
The blow that destroys the effect of an
adverse examination is occasionally more
the result of accident than of conscious
effort. In trial not long ago a very SIM
pie witness was in the box, and after GO
ing through his ordeal was ready to retire.
One question remained.
SNOW, Mr.. -, has not an attempt been
made to induce you to tell the court
different story?"
ga different story to what have told,
sir?'
"Yes. Is it not SOP"
ssYes, SIR"
"Upon your oath l demand to know
who the persons are who have ATTEMPTED
this"
"Well, sir, you've tried as hard as any
of 'em," was the unexpected answer.
1t ended the examination.

IN THE MAINE WOODS
Large Number of People Who Get q
Living Thercfrom.
From oarleton's state Of Maine Sportsman

From Carleton's State Of Maine sportsman.l
Few realize the number Of persons that
are in the Maine forests during given
year. Twenty-Five Thousand persons are
cutting down trees every day from eight
to ten hours day, from August to Feb
ruary. Thirty thousand more are en-
ployed in one capacity or another in TAX
ing care Of this product Of $50 millions Of
feet Of lumber. Then comes the hauling
to the landings; then the driving season,
when 10000 men are employed as river
drivers, cooks, boatmen and helpers in
one way and another.
The above is based on the cut Of logs in
the woods Of Maine, on the following
rivers or waterways: Androscoggin, Ken
nebec, Penobscot ar st. John. OF course
there are many other small streams, lakes
and rivers where cutting operations are
carried on. In some places the logs are
rallied to the mills, and the number of
men given above would take in all the
men used in numbering in the State. In
addition to these there are hundreds of
others. They are little known or heard
OF by the outside world, although they are
there, and send more or less Of their
product to market. Among them are the
gum pickers, the hoop pole gatherers, the
ax-handle men, the ship hull gatherer, the
hemlock bark peeler, the Indians, the
trappers, caretakers, hermits and woods
wanderers or tramps.

SAD DEATH At EARLY HOUR
Angle OF Death Claimed Estimable
Young Lady, Miss Louise
VI. GOtzian.

At half past one O'Clock this morn
ing the mute fingers of the grim angel
of death descended upon the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Gotham, pioneer
residents of this city. residing in the
Gotzian block on South Third street,
and bore away. the spirit of Miss
Louise Meta Gotham. one of Grand
Forks prominent and popular young
ladies'.
Miss Gotzian had been i'll only three
weeks and her sudden demise was as
startling to the physicians in attend
ance as it was to the members of the
family. Heart complications were the
cause of death.
The deceased was thirty-two years
of age, graduate of the Grand Forks
public and high schools and was a
talented and accomplished young lady.
She leaves besides her parents. several
brothers and sisters. Mrs. Jos. Hor-
ton, of Wahpeton, one of the sisters,
arrived this morning in response to
a telegram.
The funeral arrangement have not
yet been completed but it is very prob
able that the obsequies will be con-
Quoted from the First Presbyterian
church and interment made in Me
mortal Park. The bereavement came
as greater shock owing to the fact
that Miss Gotham had been reported
out of danger. The sympathy of the
entire city is extended the family.

ROSES WILL BLOOM
IN FAIR NORTH
DAKOTA
Florist Says This State Can Be
Transformed Into Veritable
Garden of Eden"

j. V. Wichler, the we'll known land
scape architect, senior member of
The Wichler Floral company" came
in last night from Larimore where he
spent Friday on business matters.
This morning Mr. Wichler went to
Gilby, where he will make preliminary
arrangement for the completion of one
of the largest lanscape gardening con-
tracts ever awarded in the state The
work is being done for the we'll known
Gilby bankers, Rutherford & Forbes,
and was partially completed last year.
BY the first of June. the task will
have been finished. and the citizens of
the hustling town in the northern part
of the county will be able to point to
the lawns and grounds of the afore
named gentlemen with an exuberance
OF civic pride. Said Mr.. Wicker this
morning to an Evening Times repre-
sentative When our contract is COM
pleted, the Gifby gentlemen will have
the most beautiful sweeping lawns and
blooming gardens in the state outside
of Grand Forks and Fargo, and there
are very few in either of these cities
that will surpass in grandeur and eff
fusiveness of color and effect. We are
putting in one hundred perennials,
American Beauty roses, and in fact
nearly every variety of flowers imagin-
able"
SLOWER Garden of the World.
According to the opinion of Mr..
Wichler the citizens Of North Dakota
are very backward in coming to the
realization of the advantages be-
queathed by natures God. why this
state could be made vertiable gar
den of Eden if the people only knew
it, said the expert Roses-gruss an
teplitz, sonterts, cocxets, American
beauties and every other variety of this
wonderful flower will thrive with
luxuriousness almost beyond the COM
prehension of those who have ,nursed
over the poppy and the sweet pea.
This state is the garden spot of the
earth. but as yet very few of the resi-
dents have taken advantage of the
fact in the Way of beautifyinp"

E. N. SMELL IS REMEMBERED
Tokens of Friendship Received From
Both Employers and
Employees.

E. NJ. Smell. who leaves for his new
at which place he will assume a re-
sponsible position with one of the
largest land companies operating in
the Canadian northwest, was made
doubly happy by tokens of remem-
brance and friendship from both his
employers and those who were en-
ployed under him. and with whom he
has been connected in the closest bust
ness relations for twelve years. When
he severed his connection with the st.
Anthony & Dakota Elevator company,
the president stated in his letter ac-
cepting his resignation. that the rela-
ton which existed between them was
one of the strongest and warmest
friendship. Not satisfied with this ex-
preston of it's appreciation of his
work, the company today sent him
handsome gold watch, the value of
which is at least 1925, suitably en-
graved and accompanied by an ex-
preston of friendship that was as
much appreciated as the gift ITSELF The
agents who have been working under
Smell have also contributed to his hap
piness in the future by presenting to
him a gold headed umbrella and
beautiful sapphire shirt stud. 1t was
a token we'll meant and more than
appreciated as 1t showed that in his
relation with these men he had not
only secured their faithful service but
that they too were his fast and de-
voted friends. 1t is seldom that any
one is the recipient of such tokens
of friendship and loyalty from both
his employers and employees.
