LEGAL ADVICE.
A Story Showing How Foolish II 10 TO
Try to Get II For Nothing.


A young lawyer moved into town
where there was only one lawyer be-
fore-an old judge.
A close fisted old farmer thought
there was good chance to get some
legal advice from the young man
gratis, so he dropped into his office,
told him how glad he was that he had
3ome into town, because the old judge
was getting superannuated, and con-
trived In the course of his talk to get
the legal information he wanted, and
then bidding him good morning he was
about to leave when the young man
asked for his fee. "What forf" said
the old man. For legal advice" re-
piled the young lawyer. How much
is itT" give dollars" The farmer
declared he would never pay 1t, and
the young lawyer told him IL he didn't
he would sue him. So the farmer
trotted down to see the old judge,
whom he found hoeing in his gar
den, and said, Judge, l went this
morning just simply to make neigh
borly call on that young scamp of a
lawyer who has just come into town
and he charged me So" Served you
right" said the judge. you'd no right
to go to him." "Well, have I got to
pay it? Certainly you have" "Well,
then, If l must I must. Good morn
ing" Hold on" said the Judge
Aren't you going to pay mef" PAY
you, what for?" why, for legal ad
vice, Of course" What do you
charger Ten dollars" The result
of which was the old fellow had to pay
IS to the young lawyer and SO to tbs
old one.
Moral-Don't try to get legal advice
for nothing.

THE POSTAGE STAMP.
Order In Which Il Was Adopted by
Different Countries.

Different Countries.
The first postage stamp seems to
have been used In Paris In 1858, but
the service in which the stamp was
used was only local and soon failed.
On May Q, 1910, the first regular post
age stamps were issued In England.
Various local forwarders Of letters and
postmasters in this country Issued
stamps as early as 1s41. The first to
do 80 was A. NJ. Griegs City Dispatch
Post, which was sold to the govern
ment in August, 1912. Blood & Co. Of
Philadelphia sold stamps in 1S41, and
the postmasters Of Baltimore, New
Haven and New York of 1S45 also sold
stamps.
In 1S47 the government took up the
business, but Brazil in 1843 was ahead
of the United States in taking up the
stamp end of the postal business. The
other principal countries followed in
this order: France, Belgium and Ba-
varia In 1S49; Hanover, British Gui-
ana, Prussia, Spain and Switzerland In
1850; Italy, Denmark, Baden, Wurttem-
berg, Saxony and the provinces Of
Canada in 1851; Chile and the princes Of
Turin and Taxis (who had the postal
monopoly in Germany in 1852; Portu-
gal in 1853; India and Norway in 1854;
Uruguay and Mexico in 1856; Russia
and Newfoundland In 1851; Sweden in
1858; the Australian colonies early in
the fifties; Greece in 1861; Turkey In
1868; Ecuador in 1865; Egypt in 1866;
Bolivia in 1867; Paraguay In 1870.
The international postal union was
formed in October, 1874, and went into
operation on July 1, 1876.

GRAIN YIELD ABOUT LEWISTON
Cold Spring Cut Average Below Pre-
viOus Years.

The yield of all grains on the Lew
iston flat will be lighter than the av-
erage crop on account of the severe
cold weather Of the early spring, ac-
cording to a statement of George A.
Smith. the well known farmer, who
resides six miles east Of the city, gays
the Lewiston Teller.
Mr.. Smith states that the wheat
crop will average from 20 to 80 BUSH
els per acre, and the barley from 80
to 40 bushels per acre. The harvest
is now we'll advanced and will be
practically completed in two weeks
The labor situation has not embar-
raised the harvest in any way, all
machines being operated with full
crews.

Showing of profit per day, SEATS.
From a balance of the appropria-
ton of 1905, and a special appropria-
ton of 1907 of 100000, $500 bales of
jute were purchased for the seasons
run of the jute mill of 1907 at a cost
of $95,150. The first of this consign-
ment arrived March 8, and the mill
started on March 4.
OF the $500 bales of jute, $50 bales
were of excellent quality, the remain
der of a lower grade and quality than
purchased last year and in former
years. Notwithstanding this, the out
put of the mill a month has been
equal to that of last year with excel
lent jute, and far in excess Of former
years. This has been accomplished
by giving the convict operators a cer-
tain amount to do each day, and when
done ending the days labor for the
convict, thus accomplishing most ex-
cellent results over the former meth
cd of punishment IL work was not
! performed.
The average number of grain bags
produced in the last 10 years has been
| 100000 each season. The highest
number in any one season was last
season, of 1906, producing 1,377,232
grain bags. This seasons production
will be more than 100000 grain
bags.
The per cent of waste has been
carefully looked after, with a saving
of 1-6 per cent means a saving OF
$4,000 on the s95,150 purchase OF
jute. Besides this portion of the
waste heretofore burned has been
saved as a by-product and sold tc
mattress factories at price that will
be a saving of about $3.50.
All grain bags have been sold as
rapidlyNas made, and as far ahead as
the middle of August to producers OF
grin, practically all in eastern Wash.
ington. No bags have been sold tc
other than producers.
The institution has on hand made
up for the hop season, about 75,0Ot
