From the Los Angeles Times,

Hudson bay factors, had always a
great hatred N fear Of lawsuits.
Il dined with Mr.. Mckenzie in Mon
treal not long ago." said a mining en-
gineer of New York, land he reiterated
his dread of lawsuits, driving home his
point with a story.
HE said that a certain Smith won
a case in the lower courts, the higher
courts and the supreme court. Smith
was thus finally awarded, after seven
years of litigation, $500, 900. When
Smith heard the glad news he sped
to his lawyers.
'Hurray!' he said. Gimme my $780,
Yes. $500, 900 was the award said
the lawyer. and at the same time he
handed Smith a dollar bill.
But-what's this for?' Smith
gasped.
That's all that's left, Mr.. Smith
explained the lawyer, after the deduc-
ton of my fee, the cost Of the various
appeals and other expenses, which will
be duly rendered you in an itemixed
account
Poor Smith studied the bill in his
hand.
Say, what's the matter with this p
he demanded. is 1t bad?'"

Give Love Today.

When the lean, gray grasses
Cover me, bury me deep,
No sea wind that passes
Shall break my sleep
When you come, my lover,
Sorrowful eyed to me,
Earth mine eyes will cover;
l shall not see.
Though with sad words splendid,
Praising, you call me dear.
It will be all ended;
1 shall not hear.
You may live loves riot /
Laushinsiy over my head, ,
But 1 shall lie quiet:
With the gray dead
Love, you will not wake me
with all your singing carousA
Nor your dancing shake me
In my dark house.
Though you should go weeping.
Sorrowful for my sake,
Fain to break my sleeping.
I could not wake.
Now. ere time destroy us
Shadows beneath and above;
Death has no song Joyous,
Nor dead men love
Now, while d~eep-eyed, golden,
Love on the mountain sings,
Let him be close holden;
Fetter his wings.
Love, nor 10Y nor sorrow
Troubles the end of day;
Leave the Fates tomorrow:
Give love today.
