THIS ATTORNEY GOT $1,000
FOR MERELY SAYING EYES,"

Chicago, April 18.-Lawyer Seth r.
Crews was given $4,000 by Judge
Pinckney, in the Circuit Court for adj
yising Sarah Peterson that it would be
legal for her to marry John R. Smith,
a wealthy mine owner on his death
bed.
Miss Peterson married Mr.. Smith
and he died almost Immediately after
ward. When his estate was probated,
she fell heir to $35O,OOO.
Mr.. Crews thought that if Miss
Peterson's Eyes" was worth $350,000,
his Eyes" ought to be worth tenth of
that sum, SO he brought suit for $685.
600.
Mrs. Smiths defense was that she
hadn't married Smith for his money
Judge Pinckney intimated strongly
that he held a contrary view.
81 do not see why woman should
marry man on his deathbed as Mrs
Smith did," he said.

ARABIC OAIHS DECORATE
FACADE OF STATION.
Because R. R. Refused to
Give Pass.

San Grancisco, April 1S-An Arab
recently passed through Birmingham
CHANGING up at the handsome stone
station, where cabs and mail wagons
drays and coaches, landaus and motor
cars gather at train time for the use Of
the fashionables of HiIIsboro, the Arab
suddenly cried out, paled and turned
himself eastward in prayer.
Asked as to the cause of his agita-
ton, he pointed to certain decorations
on the station facade. These seemingly
harmless Arabasques gave him the Ar
able zimzams. 1t was hard to fatbom
his emotion until student of Sir
Richard Burton came along and offer
ed to act as an interpreter. Then, lift
ing up his voice, the Arab let forth. a
string of imprecations.
The swear words seemed in. some
way to refer to the railroad or the
tracks or the railroad officials, and the
more the Arab swore the greater the
wonder at his intensity and his voIubiI-
ity, until the interpreters eye followed
his and lighted upon the hieroglyphics
on the station arches. Then a light
came upon him
By the beard of the prophet" said
he, those Arabic decorations up there
are the confoundedest lot of cusswords
| ever saw. Everything that pictur-
esque Arab could invent in the way Of
big DIS and dashes has been interwov-
en- into that decorative effect. No
wonder my friend here threw a fit. |
never noticed them before, but the
Southern Pacific is there denounced
and double denounced in the most hor-
rible cursing I have ever known. Why
was this done? Who did it?
Still the wonder grew until George
Howard, architect of the station and of
the recently burned Burlingame Club
House was appealed to. There was a
disposition to chaff him for having
made mistake in using the dreadful
oaths and imprecations for merely dec
orative text. But Howard laughed and
showed every sign of glee.
so some one has read those inscrip-
tions at last" said he. "WelI, there
was no mistake I did it on purpose
and with malice aforethohght. When
was building that station and doing
lot of other things to help the railroad
| thought I was entitled to a pass, but
the railroad very curtly turned down
my application. So 1 hunted for the
deepest imprecations in the Arabic
tongue and fixed them in the decora-
tons of that station. There, silently
to curse the niggardly railroad for all
the years to come, l have fixed my
curse in the terra-cotta and craven my
vengeance upon the rocks"
