Particular About the Ailment.

A colored lawyer in a southern town
was arguing case which had to do
with the breaking Of will made by
an old negro man. The attorney con-
tended that the old darky, in addition
TO many physical ailments, had been
weak-minded when he had made the
will.
The court asked the lawyer several
questions about the physical troubles
and mental condition of the dead man,
and to all these queries the lawyer
answered briskly.
Now" asked the court finally, did
this old man have any lucid inter.
vals?"
We'll, as to dat, Judge" replied the
colored lawyer after n considerable
pause, "de opinion seems to be dat II
was mos'ly case Of ankilosed knee.

The evaporation of loganberries Is

grafton of the loganberry were Mr.. w.
II. Claypool of Salem, who used a
stack evaporator, and Mr.. E. w. Pow

work in 1908 at time when the pro.

coming overstocked.
Canning up to that time had not
been successful commercially owing to
the fact that plain tin rather than
