a fee for three months In advance,
amounting to $50, The old man was
scarcely in fortnight, however,

A Darinu Argument,

A quick witted and daring lawyer
once saved a guilty client from sure
conviction on charge Of poisoning.
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means Of certain cakes,
a portion Of which was produced In
court. When the counsel for the pris-
oner had finished his speech he said:
"And these, gentlemen Of the jury,
are some Of the alleged poisoned
cakes. We declare to you, gentlemen
Of the jury. that they are not poisoned
cakes. They are as harmless cakes as
ever were made, and in order, gentle
men of the jury, to show you that
these cakes are not poisoned will eat
one of them right here in your pres
ence." And he did eat one. He took
good care, however, to leave the room
at the earliest opportunity and to
make n bee line for an adjoining ROOM
where he had an emetic in readiness
and an antidote. But the jury never
heard about the emetic or the anti
dote until the lawyers client had been
acquitted

That genial comedian W J. Florence
had habit Of promising a man fish
or some game when he was about
starting on a hunting or fishing trip.
Day after day would pass, and the
game would not be forthcoming But
almost every day a letter or telegram
would come saying that Florence bad
not forgotten; that Florence was just
about sending the game; that there
was no cause for worry, as a fine fish
or deer was on its way TO the express
Office. At first this solicitousness
would cause courteous letters and tele-
grams in return. As the delay got
longer the victim would get impatient
and would finally be literally haunted

Til. Story Of a Turtle. Meal.

A butterfly hunter tells the follow
ing story Of swamp life:
"In the water right between my feet
was a spotted turtle that had just cap
tured an appetizing but by no means
dainty morsel. This was a terrapin-
like bug that was more than a mouth
full His body was already out OF
sight. but clawlike legs protruded from
both sides of that isoceles triangle
which a turtles mouth makes when it
Is closed and waved a frantic fare
well to the passing underwater world.
The turtle was a long time in masti-
eating his terrapin, but 1t was happy
time His whole body blinked con-
tentedly, and he waved his fore legs
with a caressing outpush, motion ex-
actly like that of a child at the breast.
Then he wagged his head solemnly
from side to side, as a wise turtle
might who feels that such good
lunches are put up by fate only for
the knowing ones of this watery
world, and pushed himself halfway
under the roots of a tussock for a
