Ah.olutalx Safe Advice.

John Boyd was thrifty farmer,
but an exceedingly cautious man. He
hauled hay to Marshall, Mo-, his near
est market, .on Saturdays, and some
times let his wagon stand on the square
whiie he went around making pur-
chases for the house. There was
piratical COW roaming around town at
her own unfettered will, and she soon
became acquainted with Johns habits
and knew 1t was dinner time when ne
came to town. John shooed her away
from his hay wagon until he got tired
and at last he sought legal advice.
Judge Samuel Davis Of the Fifteenth
circuit bench-then a practicing at
torney-was the recipient Of Johns
tale of woe. "Col Davis" he said, IL
YOU drove to town every Saturday
afternoon with little jag of hay, and
an old speckled cow came around
and ate up the hay while you were
buying molasses and things at the
store, what would you do with that
cow" V
shoot her." said Davis, promptly.
''Hey?"
'.You bet I would. I think know
that old cow. and If she'd come along
poxing her nose Into my wagon. I'd
blow her blamed brains out too.
quick"
John wasn't entirely satisfied. He
thought over the matter and coEclud-
ed to pass the question up to another
disciple Of Blackstone. Davis's ad-
Vice smacked too much of anarchy;
so ne consulted william Throcgmoc-
tom, an old and tried advocate.
"You chump, you! Don't you know
IL you killed a mans cow that way
you'd be guilty of felony and they'd
send you to the penitentiaryY SAID
Throcgmocton, indignantly. /
'.But Col Davis said to shoot her."
He did, eh? What does he know
about law I'd like to know? Never
won a case in his life except by
scratch on some miserable technical
ity. But you do as you please, John
kill her and go TO the pen IL you
want to- -
John went back to Davis and told
him what Throcgmocton had said.
"Said 1 didn't know anything about
law, did he?"$ roared the colonel.
well, we'n see who's right. You
come in next Saturday with your hay
and q g,n, and n that cow gets near
our wagon shoot her down. II they
send you to the pen; I'll go on your
place. I'll teach that fellow what
don't know about the law!"
"But, colonel" protested the hay
merchant, "he read me whole lot
of stuff out Of the books and said
there was no getting around It."
Read fiddlesticks!" thundered
Davis. Hes dead wrong, tell you.
know, because that old speckled
heifer is my cow!"

He Passed.-Robert Thorpe, an old
Missouri stage driver, who recently
died in Texas, used to tell story OF
how Anderson, the Jayhawker. got one
of his recruits. The Anderson boys
held up Thorpe's stage near Glasgow
one day. Among the. passengers was
a raw-boned young Missourian who
looked about as tough as the Jay
hawkers themselves.
"Give me yer vala'bles," Anderson
demanded of the youth as he went
down the line.
"Aint got none," answered the young
squirrel hunter.
Where ye goin'?"
ITO fine Anderson's Jayhawkers."
The rebel leader sized him up bit.
KIN We swim the Missoury river?'
he asked him.
Reckon So" the young man an
swered.
Gould we kill MANI"
Reckon So"
Anderson stepped forward and spat
in the youngsters face. The youth
bounded at the Jayhawker like cat,
caught him full in the face with q
right swing and went down on top of
him, kicking and clawing.
The Jayhawkers pulled the young
demon off and their leader got up.
You belong" he said. Boys, give
him a hawse"-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Gallie, although a Canadian and pres

that he told at the annual banquet OF
