A PROMISING Lawyer.

The young lawyer had waited many
days for clients, and still they did not
come. His bills were mounting high
er and higher, and, sad to say, some
of his creditors were becoming impa-
tient. At this very minute his tailor
whom he owed for his last winters
overcoat, was sitting beside his desk
uttering all sorts of dire threats.
"Tll pay you when 1 can," he said.
well, that doesn't satisfy me-" he
torted the tailor. What would hap
pen, do you think, if 1 were to take
this matter to the courts and sue you?'
You'd get judgment, Of course,
said the young lawyer.
Then, in your opinion, you haven't
a leg to stand on" insisted the tailor.
mot leg" returned the briefess
youth.
Very well, then. shall proceed at
once" said the tailor, rising.
II certainly advise you to-" said the
lawyer, with a CLEAN in his eye.
Il shall most certainly accept your
advice" retorted the tailor sarcastical-
ly.
Good" said the lawyer What is
the amount Of your bill?"
Sixty eight dollars and fifty cents
said the tailor.
"All right" said the lawyer. Hand
over six fifty, please"
six fifty?" said the tailor What
for?"
You have just consulted me in the
matter of suit at law and have stated
that you accept my advice. My charge
for that is SIS, and the $3.50 is the diff
ference between your bill and mine
said the lawyer. IF l don't hear from
you by noon tomorrow l shall put the
matter in the hands of my attorneys
Good morning, sir"
And the tailor went out marveline
much that so ingenious a young gen.
tleman should be a member of the
great army Of the unemployed.-Har

Humorous department
True Devotion.


A naval officer relates a tale of a vet
eran seaman named Daley, who, dur
ing his service on one of our cruisers
became devotedly attached to young
officer named Ensign Peters.
One day it happened that a green
seaman, while attending to some duty
aloft. lost his footing and fell over
board. AS he was a poor swimmer it
was probable that he would have
drowned before the vessel could have
been stopped in her course sufficiently
to permit a boat to be lowered, had
not an officer, standing on the gun
deck below, sprang after him and, at
the risk Of his own life, gallantly held
him up until assistance came.
In. due course a letter from the sec
retary of the navy, commencing in
high terms this heroic action, was
sent to the brave rescuer, and read be-
fore the assembled ships company.
Seaman Daley viewed the whole
proceeding with a feeling Of extreme
jealousy and after brooding over the
matter for some days he relieved him.
self in the following strain:
Mr.. Peters,, said he, siding up to
the object of his devotion, that there
letter the secretary wrote's a fine thing
for a young officer to have. You ought
to get one, Mr.. Peters"
Sure thing" said the youthful Of
ficer, smiling, as he scented joke; "a
letter like that is fine thing for a
young man to have, Still, 1 am afraid
l don't see my way clear to obtaining
ono like it."
"Mr. Peters" continued Daley, in a
hoarse whisper, trust to me an I'll
fix it for you. Tomorrow night, sir, I'll
be in the main chains, fussin' with
somethin' or other. Maybe I'll just ac-
cidentally fall over. Sech things has
happened" he added, with a sly wink.
Then, Mr.. Peters, what's to hinder
you from jumpin' overheard after me,
like your messmate done? Then, l
guess, you'd have as good chance as
him for one O. them letters from the
secretary"
There's only one difficulty about
your plan, Daley" responded the en-
sign, keeping his face straight. "Un-
fortunately don't know how to SWIM"
"Oh, is that all?" returned Daley,
undismayed. THAT amt nothin'. l
can. I'll hold you up till the boat
comes.-Harper's Weekly.

EGGS BARRED.-One evening a SOL
id looking citizen, carrying a basket
bought a ticket and started to enter
the opera house in a Long Island
town. Just as he was going in, the
cover of the basket unaccountably
slipped off, revealing two dozen eggs
Hey" said the ticket taker. This
isn't Easter. Where you going with
eggs?"
None O. y'r business! Here's my
ticket, all paid for an reg'lar," declar,
ed the citizen
well, there don't any eggs go in
side while I'm here" said the ticket
taker, and then the other saw the
reason his burden was suspected and
roared with laughter.
He left the eggs in charge Of the
man at the box office and entered
and he enjoyed every moment of the
show. When it was over, the mana
ger returned the eggs to him and said
II was afraid you might put your
foot into the basket while you were
applauding."

A MISTAKEN STTUATION.-A rather
elderly gentleman stepped on a Fifth
avenue car in Pittsburg about IL
o'clock the other night and after giving
the conductor explicit directions to
wake him when the car reached Fed
eral street seated himself in a corner
and was soon sound asleep. When he
had ridden about half a dozen blocks
beyond Federal street a sudden lurch
of the car wakened him.
Rubbing his eyes he looked out OF
the window and seeing where he was,
angrily accosted the conductor thus:
Conductor, why didn't you wake me
up as 1 told you? Here I am half
mile past my house
'I did try, sir" responded the con-
ductor, but all 1 could get you to say
was, All right, Mary, get the children
their breakfast and I'll be down in
minute. "-Brooklyn Life.
