Sc
Attorneys are telling a good story
on II. w. Gleason, and 1t does no
good for him to deny it. Mrs. Need
ham, Judge Clements court reporter,
took lady friend with her to the
court room the other day to show her
how justice is manufactured: It
happened that the jury in the Parker
case was ready to report and MT.
Gleason as attorney for the defend
ant, exhibited little nervousness, as
even the oldest and best OF lawyers
will do at such times. The lady friend
noted this and she came to the conclu-
sion that the lawyer. himself was the
defendant. When the jury fled in and
the foreman announced the verdict OF
acquittal several fellow attorneys
and others who were at hand, congrat-
uIated Mr.. Gleason on his success. a
broad smile lighted up the lady
friends faces and turning to Mrs,
Needham she said: Il am so glad they
acquitted that good-looking old gen.
tleman, he does not look nike a
criminal"
twenty-five or thirty years ago a
young man came to Oskaloosa to at
tend college, and as lots of young
men who follow his example, he was
hard up. His landlady trusted MIN
for his board bill and when. scN.was
through school he owed her consider
able money. She told him to go out
and earn it and repaJ it when he
could. Shortly afteyg ward she left Os-
kaloosa, and for come reason mail ad-
dressed 10 her1ailed to follow her to
her new home. The young man made
several futile efforts to pay his delin-
uuent bill, but failed. she afterward
returned to Oskaloosa, and imagine
herssurprise the other day to get
check for the full amount of the bill
plus the interest and then some. The
young man who has ambition enough
to go to college can generally be
trusted to meet his obligations and
make good as the passing saying
goes.
J.. B McCurdy in running over his
record of deaths in Mahaska county
for the year 1908 was surprised to
note the absenc of troubles that
usually prove fatal in many cases.
The greater number of deaths were
caused by chronic complaints, were
of a sudden character or were among
the older people. 1.-THE year will be
considered the most healthful season
that Mahaska county has ever known,
asserted the undertaken. Cases of
fevers. diphtheria, pneumonia and 9TH
er contagious diseases were few and
separated. cholera infantum which
in some seasons is so fatal to babies
was almost unknown last year" Mr..
McCurdy thinks the record somewhat
remarkable.

Ballroom Dances in LimeIight.

1t has been left to Poons, India, to
discover a ballroom novelty. This Is
the employment of limelight in GER
tain dances. The most fascinating ef'
fects are simly gained by turning out
all lights and switching on different
colored limelights over the heads OF
the dancers. Thus a waltz danced In
imitation moonlight is said to be a
thing to dream of and the cotilion with
rainbow colored lights is ravishing.

Beliefs of Gamblers.

Many people, especially among those
who gamble, have a profound belief
In lucky and uniucky numbers. An
old Italian woman at Nice was an in
veterate player at the Toto" stakes
which are decided by numbers. She
had no system properly so-called, but
wherever she went she kept her eyes
open for numbers, and whether 1t was
on tramway car or a steamer, a
sack of Goals or matchbox, she used
to regard the numbers she collected In
this haphazard way as good for her
"petits billets."

Useful Work of BIacksnake.

There are many farmers in this
country who are in love with the
blacksnakes which they have on their
places and believe the reptiles are
better than any cats or dogs in re-
moving the rats and mice from the
premises. 1t is a well known fact that
the snakes destroy hundreds Of pests
In season, and for this reason they
are liked by the farmers. There are
some men who would cause all sorts
Of trouble to man who would harm
reptile of this kind.-Toccoa (Ga.)
