EVARTs' STRANGE CLIENT.
1t is Safe to Say He Didn't Follow the
Great Lawyers Advice.

William NJ. Evarts was the most ap-
proachable Of men while secretary OF
state. Il find that it pays better in
the long run," he once said, Ito see
man while the impulse is still fresh
upon him and before he has had time
to think up a set speech and prepare
an argument. So when caller asks
me to fix a future day and hour for
an interview of five minutes-he al
ways wants just five minutes, no mat
ter whether his errand merely in
wolves the writing of an autograph or
portends the collapse of an empire
1 answer: I'm ready now. Go on.
Taken thus by surprise, he probably
puts into the fewest words whatever
he has in mind, and I get of easily.
"Once in awhile my confidence is
imposed upon. 1 was just clearing up
my business as attorney general at
the end Of the Johnson administrator
when a man who announced himself
as a New Yorker called; as usual,
he wished to make an appointment
and, also as usual, was admitted at
once. He wore a very mysterious
look and requested that dismiss my
secretary, as his business was Of the
most private nature. When he was
sure that we were alone he said:
knowing that you are going back
to private practice in New York, l
wish to avail myself promptly of your
services as a legal adviser
Il bowed.
"'As there should be no secrets be-
tween counsel and Client he went on,
I may as well tell you frankly that l
am a sneak thief by profession and
have devised what I believe to be a
novel and Ingenious trick, but before
putting it into operation I should like
to consult you about the law on the
subject. Suppose went into a saw
ings bank and, by pretending to be
one of the employees, led depositor
into handing me his money, using no
force, of course, but simply accepting
what he voluntarily handed me. Is
there any statute under which l could
be punished for that?'
II suppose a good many lawyers
would have knocked the fellow down,
but I saw that he had no idea of in
sulting me, that he considered the
whole thing a simple matter of busi-
ness and that he had done me the
compliment Of first choice from
among all the members Of the bar, 80
answered quietly that had never
studied the law on that point and was
too busy to look it up. You had bet
ter 60 to somebody else,' added.
"'Well would you do me the favor
to recommend the lawyer who has
made, in your judgment the most
exhaustive examination of the crimf-
nal law that fits case like mine?' he
persisted.
With pleasure I replied. "Try

Why / Left the Woman's Club.

In these days of suffragist furore,
the story Of former club woman,
told in Woman's Home Companion
for November, is particularly inter-
esting.
This woman has taken a promi-
nent part in club work. The follow
ing story of a club election shows why
she resigned in disgust.
Never 80 long as live will for
get that election day. Precinct
workers and ward heelers may en-
ploy less refined methods, but GER
tainly not less effective. The opposi-
ton lost. Delegate after delegate
cast a vote opposed to her sense of
right and wrong, yes, and her own
wishes, because she lacked the cour-
age of her convictions, because she
was afraid Of a woman who said
Il will rule at any cost
"The closing Of the polls was
marked by scenes that would have
been funny, if, to the earnest club
woman, they had not been SO pa
thetic. AS one Of the tellers I had
full benefit of all that happened. I
saw hysterical women weep on the
neck of our defeated candidate who
had herself well in hand. I heard
members accuse each other of treach-
ery-and worse. I saw husbands
come and take their disheveled and
fearful wives home in cabs. And 7
heard the successful candidate sa:
with teeth almost locked
"'I'll teach the women of --
to interfere with my plans!"
"No successful political leader of
a graft-cursed municipality ever set
tied election accounts more syste-
matically than did Mrs. Smith.
Every plum went to her supporters.
No member Of the opposition re-
ceived the slightest recognition. The
party whip snapped on the air at
each announcement of new appoint
ment."

FIRE SWEEPS SHOPS.
Flames Cause Loss Of $4,000 in
NeWbern.

Newbern, N. c., Nov. 6.-Fire arly
to-day almost completely destroyed
the plant of the Norfolk & Southern
railroad here. The loss is estimated
at 100000. In addition to the
round house, foundry, blacksmith
and boiler shops, the flames reduced
to scrap two locomotives, two pas
senger coaches and three freight cars.
New machinery valued at over $685.
900 is included in the loss.
The fire started at or near the boil
er room and made considerable prog
ress before it's discovery. By quick
and skillful work number Of loco
motives were fired and considerable
rolling stock was thus moved out of
danger.

Practice More, Preach Less.

A doctor signing himself N. 0. c..
from Kansas, sets forth his view on
whats the Matter with the
Churches?" in a symposium in The
Delineator for December in strong
words:
The minister (called of God) talks
himself hoarse on Sunday about vice,
etc., but he seldom gets of Easy
street. He does not know what goes
on in Hard street. Pshaw! He
might as well talk to himself in q
rain barrel, if he does nothing. They
talk about working in the Lords
vineyard. They are up in. an apple
tree most of the time.
The Salvation Army, with all it's
noise, is doing a practical Christian
work. God bless them, they are not
afraid to 60 down among the sons OF
toll and down among the outcasts
and poor of this prosperous CD ma
ton. They are not afraid of getting
dirt on their hands. They go slum-
ming in earnest. I am not pessi-
mist. have had some little exper-
ience in this life as physician and
have seen both the top and the bot
tom. I do not speak of the little vii
lage church where people are more
on an equality, where the employer
is not ashamed to have his employee
to sit in the same church.
There are some noble men and
women in the church who are doing
good and trying to live right. I do
not condemn all the churches nor all
the good people, but until the
churches wake up and take up the
work at had they will never get the
people believe in them.

The highest medical authority
on foods,
Sir James Crichton Browne, u.D.-F.RS.
of London,
gives the best reasons for eating more
Quaker Oats

duces a big-boned, well-devel-
oped, mentally energetic race.
His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quakef
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but.
eating it strengthens and en-.
larges the thyroid gland-this
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the.
Scotch) has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal
porridge in childhood"
The Scotch eat Quaker Oats
because it is the best of all oat-
meals.

Deplorable Accident Occurs in Ander'

able accident occurred at Iva, Ander-

was instantaneous. Both young men
are members of well known families
and Kelley is grief stricken. No ar
rest has been made.

FOR NEW COUNTY.
e Pasu to be Divided if Movement Prevails
Legislature viii be Petitioned.

Van Horn, Texas, Jan. 3.-The
Legislature will be petitioned to
divide Ell Paso county, the divid
ing line to run north and south
and to cross the Galveston, Har-
risburg and San Antonio railway
at Lasca, a point eighty three
miles east of FL Paso, the present
county seat. The new county is
to be named Culberson county
and it is to be seventy miles wide
east and west.
FL Paso county is too large and
many people are too remote from
the county seat-for instance it
is 10 miles from the eastern
boundary of the county to the
county seat. This is very eX-
pensive for witnesses and others
having to attend court. The
eastern portion of the county is
setteling up very fast and the
people feel that they are entitled
to closer county seat. 1t is
said FL Paso will offer no opposi-
ton and it is believed that the
Legislature will readily see the
need of dividing the county. Van
Horn owing in its central loca-
ton and advantages over other
towns in the eastern part of the
county has a decided advantage
for the county seat of the propos-
ed new county.
