LONG FIGHT FOR FIVE DOLLARS.
Suit for Small Strip of Land Settled
After Sixty Years.

Dragged through the courts for over
60 years, the lawsuit of Andrew Camp
versus William Zimmerman has been
finally decided in court here, says the
New York Herald's Allentown (Pa)
correspondent. The litigants were
leading farmers in the upper end of
Lehigh county, and the dispute arose
over a strip of land worth about five
dollars. 1t is 1900 feet long and in
width from four to 20 feet.
The suit was over the ownership of
the land, and the litigation began
when Zimmerman cut down a chestnut
tree on the property. The men and
their families, although neighbors,
have not spoken together for half a
century. The case has been in the
supreme court at least three times
and no less than $4,000 has been
spent in lawyers fees and other costs
in the litigation.
Since the last suit was brought Zim-
norman has died, as have also his
lawyer, John Rupp, and the principal
witness, Peter Kunkle. The widow,
however, fought the case to a finish.
but she lost, the jury deciding that the
property belongs to Camp. When suits
involving the question of damages
We're tried the verdict never exceeded
six dollars

Black frocks are to be much in evil
dence this season, and number of
beautiful models are shown in louisine,
taffeta and chiffon cloth over black
silk. The latest models are decorated
principally with laces, usually two or
three kinds, but a little good en-
broidery in skillfully harmonized col
ors gives a French air to fine black
gown that is most desirable.
Black linens and cottons are pref
test in soft fabrics, and the embroi-
dered suisses are exquisite. One un-

ground, striped with closely set hair
Lbes of white, and is sprinkled with
tiny sprays of lilacs. 1t is charming
for second morning costume, or

MISSIONARIES MISTAKES.

Sir Ernest Satow, minister at
Peking, speaking on the subject OF
Christian missions and their polit-
ical effects, said that missionary
work in China had received addi-
tional interest lately because of the
apparent awakening of Chinese de-
sire for education on the European
plan.
He was not aware, however, that
there was any great craving for the
spiritual side of European civiliza-
ton. The Chinese saw that Euro
peans had overcome them by reason
of their superior knowledge of phys
ical science. They would like to
build ironclads and supply them
selves with railways, electric light,
and things of that sort which might
help their material advancement,
and that was all.

RAFFLEs COW TO BUY LEG.
Ingenious Scheme of a Man Disabled
by a Train.

If there is more than one way to
than one way in which to acquire a
cork leg. The usual way is to earn
money and buy it, says the New

julius Thorne, who lives at Glens
Falls, is to let a cow raise herself
Thorne was hit by a railroad train
about year ago, and when the doc
tors cut off mis- left leg, a disease OF
the bone set in. The injured man
was taken home, where, while he
lsy on his back waiting for the bone
whereby he could procure a cork leg.
Being supplied with little in the way
of the worlds goods, Thorn was
forced to use his ingenuity. From
neighbor he bought for a couple OF
dollars sickly calf less than a month
old This he raised on skinned milk
provided by another neighbor who
made his own butter, and in time the
calf got strong enough to be turned
out to pasture. Grazing around cost
little, and while the calf was growing
and fattening Thorne made baskets
that he might have enough cash to
winter the animal. By fall he had
earned enough to more than do this,
and recently he started a rattle. All
his friends took tickets, and when the
drawing takes place Thorne will cele-
brate by wearing his new cork leg

GARDEN IN THE FAR NORTH.

when it comes to planting vege-

l claim to have done more in that di-

zen said Judge ID. A. Mckenzie Of
Alaska
Away up in the Kioyolluk river, 100
miles north of the arctic circle, | have
for the last two seasons raised fine
crops of lettuce, turnips, radishes and
cabbage, and know that this is further
to the north than any other American
ever engaged in the business of grow
ing vegetables.
There is but a short period of sum-
mer up there, but in that brief time
the power of the sun Is so great that
all vegetation grows with twice the
rapidity that it does in temperate
climes. The main thing is to learn
what particular kinds of vegetables
are of such extra rapid growth as to
make them especially suited for those
high attitudes. The time will surely
come. when the people of Alaska will
grow excellent products and in va
riety not now thought possible"

No Growing Pains.

An eminent specialist claims that
there is no such thing as growing
pains" We have been taught that
when a child has singing pains in
the limbs, shoulders, or other parts
the body is growing, and therefore
most parents welcome the news of
such suffering in children.
The physician referred to above
claims that growing pains are muscu-
lar rheumatism, and should have i'm
mediate attention. Something is
wrong, and steps should be taken at
once to learn why the childs blood
is not in perfect condition.-Health.
