A LAWYERS SLIP.
Put In Damaging Evidence Against

His Own Client.
1t does not seem to be frequent
that a plaintiff gets through the
courts what he considers a salts

On injury sustained when railroad
company is the defendant. Cases
are Of record. however, where the
attorney for the railroad has un-
consciously admitted evidence that
resulted in verdict for the plain
tiff. Such case was that Of Mrs.
Herkimer of Beloit, who sued the
Missouri Pacific for $4,000 before
court in Kansas.
The defendants were represented
by the able and learned Waggener,
who sought to prove that there was
full moon on the night of the
accident and to place the response
bility with the plaintiff. A messen-
ger boy was sent for and secured
an almanac OF the year of the acct
dent. Examining it only to learn
that it contained the desired proof,
he offered it in evidence.
In his argument the lawyer for
the plaintiff declared that the de-
PENDANT company was the property
of certain millonaires, whom he
named, who had amassed fortunes
totaling a great number OF millions
and were we'll able to care for his
crippled client.
Waggener was Immediately on
his feet offering loud objection
to this line of argument, claiming
that nothing had been introduced
in the evidence to justify the state
ment.
"May it please your honor, there
u.s." declared the other lawyer. at

the learned attorney for the de-

"Whcre?" shouted the surprised
Waggener.

He had studied the book, and there
in its pages were pictures OF the
men named. together with sketches
of their lives. and every one oil
them was rated at from 100000

CURIOUS MEDICINES.
Prescriptions Which Were Used In the
Eighteenth Century.

The following prescriptions, which
were published in 1871, show a de-
gree of credulity hardly to be ex-
pected from "the father of modern
chemistry and brother of the Earl
of Cork" The book is said to be
written by "the Honorable K. Boyle,
ESQ.,, late Fellow of the Royal So
ciety," for the benefit of chose
poor Upholders of Families who
cannot find or fee a Surgeon or q

RAISE PRIZE CORN
Every Farmer Should study 10
Improve Methods

Every Farmer Should Study to
Improve Methods
The Richmond Evening Journal
recently published the following IN
regard the raising OF prize corn.
which should be OF interest to every
farmer in the State Of Virginia. W.
fear too many farmers do not pay
sufficient attention to the selection
Of their seed.
Mr.. Berkeley D. Adams Of RED
Oak" Charlotte county, who won
the championship corn prize
amounting to about four hundred
and fifty dollars, for the best ten
ears Of corn, with about five hun
dred exhibitors competing, raised
sis corn. on an exclusively high
and farm. He won in competing
with the Valley Of Virginia and the
ow ground corn producer on river
and creek lands.
He used no fertilizer on his corr
'rop this year. The corn was
lrown on land that had been in corr
hree years with CT imson clover,
seeded at the last cultivation OF the
corn and followed in the spring for
the following corn crop.
He uses only pure bred seed, and
has been selling considerable corn
for seed purposes.
Mr.. Adams plants his corn fiat,
and runs the cultivator through il
TWO or three time.
The prize winning ears were Sc
lected from field Of twelve acres
by pulling off about sixty ears and
carrying them out of the field ano
narrowing the selection to the ten
ears he placed on exhibition. Ii,
did not grow the field in the expec-
lion of competing at the fair; ano
decided to enter the competitor only
a few days ago.
The corn growing farmer learns
these lessons from MIR. Adams
The finest corn can be raised Oh
uplands.
Crimson clover, sowed at the last
working, restores nitrogen to the
soil, and, when turned under gives
the humus content that ad is life tC
the soil and makes available plan,
foods that would otherwise be un.
available.
Pure bred seed is superior to
other seed.
Flat civilizations is superior to
ridge cultivation.
MIR. Adams is a member 81 the
Legislature, and member OF the
State Board of Agriculture, repre-
senting the Sixth Congressiona
