How a Lawyer Lost a Fee.

According to old timers, the late Col.
Bob Taylor of Bnnham once met wom-
an in the road as ne was riding on horse
back TO hold court in Delta county, he
being then district judge. The woman
had a jug of water and the judge was
thirsty.
Being a man with CHEEKY word for
every one, the colonel stopped her
My dear madam" he said, smiling,
IF you will give me a drink Of cool wa
ter from yonder jug, when you want
divorce from your husband ] will see
that it costs you nothing"
Are you a lawyer inquired the
woman, handing him the jug.
The colonel explained who he was,
and waving farewell departed, leaving
the woman gazing after him.
The very next morning the woman
showed up in the courtroom and asked
for him. She explained that she want
ed a divorce. She had been separated
from her husband for a hong while and
the colonel had put an idea into her
head.
The colonel was gone, however. He
procured a lawyer at his own expense
and in due course of law the woman was
given a divorce, and Col. Taylor would
tell the joke on himself often.-Dallas

HONOR MEN OF WEST POINT.
Graduates at Head of Class in Last As
Years Eminent as Engineers.

The new edition of Cullum's Register.
compiled by the secretary of the Asso-
citation of Graduates of the United States
Military academy, brings to light the in
teresting fact that everyone of West
Points first honor men of the last forty
five years is still living. This is believed
to be a record among institutions of
learning.
What is almost as remarkable lie that
a large majority of these forty-fve star
men are still in the engineer corps, and
nearly everyone of them is rated among
the most eminent in the profession. OF
these named all who are still in active
service are in the engineers but two.
Col. BRINE is one of the best known
ordnance men in the army, while Col.
Williams has long been identified with
the coast artillery arm of the service.
Gen. Greene is the former police COM
missioner of New York Maj Crosby is
one of President Taft's intimate friends
and is on duty at the white. house.
Only one among the forty-fve has ever
cast dishonor on the engineering arm of
the army. That unfortunate is Oberlin
NJ. Carter, whose shortcomings landed
him in the Fort Leavenworth peniten-
tiary, from which he was released
few years ago.-West Point Cor. Roches-
