bring results even better than de-

Fights Only Railroads.

Out in Broken Bow, Neb., lives the
most unique lawyer in the United
States-Jesse Candy by name. Gan.
dy only takes one class of litigation
claim against a railroad, preferably
the Burlington Railroad. Twenty
years ago Candy was a wealthy farm
er and rancher.
Candy owned large section of the
country in Western Nebraska. The
Burlington Railroad wanted a right
of way through the land. Candy do
mated the land on condition that he
should have a pass over the division
as long as he lived. The railroad fur
nished the pass for several years.
Then came change of management
and Gandy's pass was cut off. Candy
took his case to several lawyers, but
found that each of them was retained
by the railroad and none would take
his case.
"Ill study law and fight my own
case" said Candy. In time he was
admitted to the bar. His first an
nouncement read: II will take all
righteous cases against a railroad and
will guarantee to win. If l lose
your case l will pay the costs. If I
win your case you pay me part of
the COSTS"
For sixteen years Candy has been
busy fighting the railroads, and espe-
cially the Burlington. He won't take
a case unless he is convinced the
plaintiff has a good chance of win.
ming, and he pays all the costs, just as
his advertisement reads. Usually he
refuses to accept any fee for his serv-
ices. He is independently wealthy,
and simply fights because he loves it
and also to get even" with railroad

Candy also bears the reputation of
being the only man who ever rode a
wild buffalo bull. This he did on a
wager, staying on the animals back
for five minutes, but he was in bed
week from the shock.-Minneapol

Grant the Hero.

When General Grant was seized
with his fatal illness in the autumn
of 1884 he appeared before the world
in an entirely new character. From
being viewed as the stern, uncompro-
missing and conquering military COM
mander, the revelation of his simple
resignation in the face of great suf-
fering claimed for him new fame as
hero in another sense. His last bat
tie with the great conqueror destined
him for grander laurels than were
gained on any of his many trium-
plant fields 1t was the purely hu.
man side of his nature that then ap-
pealed to the general sympathy of
mankind. Thus his last and only
surrender was his greatest victory.
If it had been otherwise, history
would have cheated itself of an exam-
pie of Christian fortitude the like of
which has been seldom recorded
