DIDN'T TRUST HIS LAWYER
ShreWd Client Paid Fee in Advance tc Learn If He Had Reasonable
 Chance of Winning.

It was told at luncheon at the Law yers' club the day before the Equit- able building burned down. A group of legal luminaries were gathered about table discussing the apparent tmpossibility of insuring the honesty of any man, and 1t was coCtended that there was no remedy for l.. save to pick out your man and trust him ab- solutely. No matter what safeguards you might hedge him about with, if he was dishonest he would contrive to cheat somehow. One of the law yers told this story to emphasize his point:
 A client went into lawyers office In Fulton street and said that he had a grievance with his neighbor and wanted to go to law. He stated all the circumstances of the case and counsel listened attentively The case fully stated, the client asked:- Well, those are the facts. Do you think I'm in the right safe enough to win If 1 go to law with him?"
 If the facts are as stated you cer- tainly have got case. If I were in your case l should begin suit" an swered the lawyer.
 And how much would your fee be for taking the case and pushing it clear through?"
 "Oh, I'll see 1t through for you for 8 hundred dollars"
 The shrewd client produced from an Inside pocket well worn wallet, from which he extracted a roll of bills and peeled off one hundred dollars.
 There" said he. that's yours. It's your fee. That's all you'd get If you Tried the case. Now. without doing any work on 1t at all. just tell me, honestly. whether I've any chance ot winning the case"

Old World Hrmorers.

In olden times the armorer's work was not of d rough and ready descrip- ton, but generally bore the signs of highly wrought workmanship. The va rious pieces of suit fit into their po- sitions to a nicety. there are DO rough edges and, as rule, very little that Is merely careless decorative work. Fash ion and reputation have left their hall mark on the armor of each period, and. like most other industries, it had its distinguished masters. The name of Jacob Topf is, for example. still fla nous in England, and such names as those of Lorenzo Colman of Augsberg, a German armorer of the sixteenth century; Lucio Pincinino, a Milanese. and the Wolfs of Landshut, family of armorers that are supposed to have worked for Philip II. of Spain, are celebrated in their own countries.-Ar- gonaut

I. R, RAqS WILSON
 FOR TRUST ATTACK
Colonel Says Governor Has
 MiSStatGd Facts.

A denial of statements attributed to Governor Woodrow Wilson In regard to the Progressive party's attitude to ward trusts was made by Colonel Roosevelt in a speech at Trinidad, Colo.
 Governor Wilson. he said, was quot ed as saying in a speech at Sioux Falls that the Progressive plan would work for the interests of the large cor porations and would give them control of the market for labor. This Is Colo nel Roosevelt's reply:
 ''Mr. Wilson should be above mis- quoting facts in order to bolster up his arguments. MT. Wilson has an entire right to defend his own plat form if he feels bold enough to do so and an entire right to assail the Pro- gressive platform, but he should con- fine himself to tell the facts as, they are.
 "In his speech he stated that the method now proposed by the Progress sives to regulate the trusts was sug- gested by Messrs. Gary and Perkins before the committee of the house of representatives named to look into the steel trust.
 And he stated 1t was done to save the United States Steel corporation from the necessity of doing its busi- ness better than its competitors.
 Neither of these statements Is in accordance with facts. Not once only, but again and again, in messages to congress and In speech after speech while I was president advocated the method proposed by the Progressives for handling the trust question, which is practically the principle applied in the interstate commerce commission"

HUGHES WINS JERSEY.
Incomplete Returns From Primary In- dioate Complete Defeat of Former
 Senator James Smith, Jr.

Incomplete returns from the primary elections held throughout New Jersey indicated clearly that former Repre- sentative William Hughes Of Paterson had received the tndorsement of large majority of the Democratic voters for the United States senate.
 With a few exceptions the returns seemed to justify the information that Hughes carried the various counties by from two to three times the vote cast for former United States Senator James Smith, Jr., his principal Democratic an- tagonist. Hughes was running as the picked candidate of Govefnor Wilson. and Smith was allied with the anti-Wil- son forces throughout the state.

Insurgents at Nicaragua Fire Upon

 Apologize to Commander For Occur
 renee.
 Three American marines were wound ed by insurgent bullets fired at Major Smedley D. Butler, commander of the American marine battalion, as the train bearing the force of bluejackets and marines was passing through Masaya, Nicaragua, for the purpose of opening up the railroad to Granada.
 The American force arrived at Ora nada, the populace of which Is on the verge of starvation.
 The American relief force left Ma nagua on Sunday, Sept. 15, for Ora nada, where 1t was reported fifty girl students at college there, daughters of foreign residents, had been isolated for forty days and were facing starva- tion. AS the train approached Masaya it was fired upon by rebels intrenched on Barranca hill, and 1t was forced to come to standstill
 Admiral Southerland, who was in command of the expedition, had an interview with the commissioners sent out by the insurgent leader, General Zeledon, but nothing came of the con ference, General Zeledon refusing to allow the train carrying the marines to pass through the city.
 Admiral Southerland sent message to the rebel chief demanding the sur render of the Barranca fortress, which Is located close to the railroad line. and threatened to lombard his posi- ton. General Zeledon's commissioners entered into further negotiations, with the American admiral, which resulted In an agreement by. which the train would be. allowed to pass through Masaya and by which. the Americans | withdrew their demand for the sur render of Barranca hill
 In accordance with this agreement the train entered Masaya. AS 1t reach ed the station several drunken lnsur- gents fired at Major Butler, but the bullets missed him and slightly wound ed three American marines The Amer jeans in the back part of the train thereupon opened fire on the rebels. but the shooting was quickly repress- ed by Major Butler.
 Insurgent officials promptly disavow- ed the action of their men and apolo, g.zed to the American commander for the occurrence. This terminated the incident, and the train proceeded. | The imprisoned girls were cut off from relief by the rebels under Gen eral Mena The state department at Washington was so concerned about them that second expedition of Amer jeans under Major Baker was sent to their relief
 The two American expeditions to- gether contain only about one-third as many men as Mena has under his com mand, reports placing his army at 1,20O.
