An amusing incident occurred one

a view to raising a laugh among his

lis NOT LIMITED BY LAW

Concord, N. H., April ls.--At the of
flee of the clerk of the United States
circuit court here yesterday, counsel for
defendants filed a demurrer in tRe case
of Ebenezer ], Foster Eddy VS. exec
utors of Mrs Mary Baker Eddy
The demurrer denies that the bill
states case emitting the plaintiff to
any relief against the defendants; re-
lates that the plaintiff accepted S45,-
600 from Mary Baker Glover Eddy in
full settlement Of any rights or inter-
ests in her estate, and is therefore
estopped from any direct or collateral at
tack on the probate Of her will
Az to the theory that the requests to
the Christian Science church are illegal
and void because in excess OF amounts
limited by the Massachusetts and New
Hampshire statutes, the demurrer states
that the bill cannot be maintained upon
this theory because the application OF
the New Hampshire statute concerns
the state of New Hampshire only and
the application of the Massachusetts
statute concerns the commonwealth OF
Massachusetts, only.
The New Hampshire statute has no
application to the requests. the demm'
rer says, because that statute is APP
plicable only to domestic religious so
cieties, and sit appears on the face OF
the bill that the First Church OF Christ
Scientist, is an unincorporated Massa
chusetts religious society located with
out the state and the Christian Science
board OF directors is corporation ex'
istinp under the laws Of Massachusetts.

THE COTTON GIN.
Whitney Got the Idea From tho Work
of an Old Negro.

Whitney Got the Idea From tho Work
of an Old Negro.
Eli Whitney. the inventor of the cot
ton gin. got the germ of his great idea
from seeing through the interstices OF
a hut an old negro work a hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth of the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly, and
young Whitney the was barely thir-
teen at the time) realized at once that
machine working q number of SINH
lar saws simultaneously would reyolu
tionize the cotton growing industry.
He said nothing TO anybody. but set
to work building models and expert
mentlng. His difficulties were enor-
nous. for he not only had 10 make his
own wheels. cogs. etc. but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even
to manufacture the paint wherewith
to color his many plans and drawings.
But he succeeded in the end, and,
though the outbreak of war and other
hindranees prevented the invention
from being actually placed upon the
market until many years afterward.
the first complete cotton gin ever con-
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely a
single alteration.

TO get him out of the house for an hour
or two. Then the lawyer instituted
search. He made three Of them and
found nothing-not that the treasure
wasn't there. but because there are
scores and scores of hiding places In
any house. These vain searches CON
WINGED Mr.. Henderson that he should
come into legal possession Of the house,
so that he might pun 1t to pieces II

In selling it there would be work
provided for the simpleton. The law
yer would give him a certain sum OF
money and gravel pit to boot. The
money would draw interest and every
load Of gravel dug out would bring
Peter 10 cents Killing two birds with
one stone. you see Attorney Hender-
son even got the credit OF being
phllanthropist and humanitarian.
OF course the simpleton was clay IN
the hands Of the potter. He went 10
live with n family at so much per year,
and he went TO work in the gravel pit
The lawyer didn't rush things in maxi
Ing other searches. He waited for
weeks. Then Mt odd times he system
atized his work.
Twas n queer thing that happened
after awhile. Attorney Henderson read
a treasure story in magazine. IL had
many points similar TO his. The heirs
tore an old house down piece by piece
In search of miser's loot and then
found 1t In the old clock on the man
fel. The idea took root. None of the
old furniture had been removed. The
searcher went at it to inspect ana
overhaul. 1t took three more searches
TO bring success. Under the ragged
cover of an old lounge on which Peter
had sat and slept for years was found
tintype OF the young mans mother.
II was in a cardboard box. and in the
handwriting Of the father were a few
lines explaining the identity of the pic
ture and adding that 1t was a treas
IRE to be valued more than money.
After reading the lines the lawyer
could not doubt that the find was what
the old man referred to when on his
dying bed.
There was no one present TO listen
to Attorney Henderson's plea" when
be decided that he had been sold and
that he alone was responsible for the
selling. 1t was doubtless strong and
able effort He had paid full value for
property he did not want. and the only
consolation he had was in feeling that
the gravel pit was more or less of a
fraud. Simpleton Pete had plugged
AWAY at getting out gravel, but had
met with loam-and- sand instead. He

When the body is weak and the blood

Obscure influences, something I'M

OF the whole body. When a serious

A Lawyer and
A Simpleton
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Lit
erary Press
By M. QUAD

When old John Cairnes, villager,
died he left his son, Peter, twenty five
years old. The wife and mother had
been dead for many years. Old John
was not exactly miser. but he was
known as a money saver From the
age of ten, when he met with an acct
dent, Peter was the simpleton of the
village and butt of ridlcule, though
he had been known as bright child
for the first few years. The doctors
said there was something pressing on
the brain and that an operation would
fix things all right, but the father
baked at the cost, and so Peter re-
manned a simp.eton. 1t was only
when the old man came to die that
he regretted his stinginess and neglect
and said to the lawyer who drew the
will:
Everything goes to Peter. He's
simple minded, but he will get along.
l want you to advise him and be a
sort of father. People think I've got
a lot of money, but that's all non
sense. You can tell Peter. however,
that there's something hidden away in
the house that he'll come across some
day and appreciate"
Lawyers are entirely human outside
Of a courtroom. That hidden treasure
had the same effect on Attorney Hen
derson as it would have had on a
plumber or blacksmith. Just where in
the house was 1t concealed? Was 1t
in gold or greenbacks7 Was 1t $10,-
600 or double the sum? And wasn't
1t a shame that 1t should go to sim
pleton, whose wants were already sup
piled?
The more the lawyer argued and rea-
soned with himself the more reason
able 1t looked that he should come into
possession of that treasure. He felt
that he could even convince a judge
and jury of the fact. Within three
months he was scheming. He called
at the house now and then to see Peter.
The young man seldom left the prem
ises He made garden. chored about
the place and went to bed with the
hens. 1t was easy to make an excuse

Quaintance. In this way she was adj
mitted to all their private circles and
was made acquainted with their Sc
crets. These she at once communi-
Gated to the Russian government. The
truth was that the whole business, In
Guiding the attempt on his life. was
faxed by Trepofr himself, and 1t was
simply a clever ruse to get from the
nihilists what could not be got in any
other way. Thereafter Vera Sassu-
Itch played the part Of government
