Aiy Able Advocate
CoprTlgkt, UCH, If ABMrloau hm Ao
clnllon. Thla to tho true Htory of how Pro
fessor Drlcsbnck Rot his wife.
Professor Hcrnuui Drlesback, bota
nist, seeking specimens In Arizona,
rode up to a tavern, hlU'lieil his horso
to 11 post, went Into the house nud
called for something to cat. To say
that the professor was cngrosucd In
his profession to the exclusion of all
else Is to convey but n fulnt Idea of
his cntlirnllinont.
But the moment had como when an
other kind of flora crossed Professor
Drlcsbnck's path to turn his mind tem
porarily In a new channel. While he
was sitting at table eating his dinner
and thinking on the latest varieties of
plants he had picked up a girl In a
short skirt, cowhide boots, buckskin
leggings and sombrero entered tho
room and. depositing n rifle In n cor
ner, Bat down at tho table opposite tho
man of scfence.
"Mornln', stranger," she said. "Don't
know who you are, but I'm ICnto Mo
Olenndn, ranchman's daughter. Who
arc you?"
"Professor Herman Drlesbnck of
university, at your service."
Now, the professor was thirty-two
years of ago and, although he wore
spectacles, had a pair of mild bluo
eyes behind them, with which ho look
ed at Kato McClcnnon, If Kate was a
revelation to the professor tho pro
fessor was a revelation to Kate, whose
gcntloracn admirers had thus far been
made up of cowboys, gamblers and
such llko rude material. Tho acquaint
ance develops more rapidly than cro
cuses In springtime. After the meal
both arose. Tho girl took her rifle, and
they went out to whoro tho professor
had bitched his horso. Learning that
tho girl was going his way, ho offered
her a scat In his rattletrap buggy,
which sho accepted, and they took
their departuro In company.
They had not gono a mllo whon
tbero was a clatter of horses' hoofs
behind, a shot over their heads, and
beforo the young womnn could get her
rltlo In position for defenso a man
rodo up, crying;
"Halt, you horBo thief J"
Now, that tho professor was u homo
llilbf was proved by his own state
ment. When asked the color of his
horso ho frankly avowed that ho was
black, while the huo of tho nng ho
was driving was whlto.
It didn't take tho pcoplo thereabouts
long to collect n Jury of twelve good
and true men to try tho professor.
Thcro were no lawyers In thoso parts,
but Professor Drlosbach wuh assigned
counsel In tho person of n cowpunohcr
who had spoilt three mouths In a town
lawyer's office. The profiwsor was
permitted to rrrnko his statement. ITo
ttttd ho liful drtroij B trf tlx) tttvorn,
hftclied his hortw, gone out, got Into
bis buggy and driven away. Hut slneo
mcanwhllo his horso had changed
from black to whlto his atory did not
Impress pcoplo who had heard much
mora probablu stories from horso steal
era. Ills counsel was stumbllug along
with n cock and a bull story (so It was
considered) of a real horso thief hav
ing taken tho prisoner's good black
horso nnd substituted a poor whlto
ono wucn Kato .Mcuicnnon tooK a
hand In tho proceedings.
"What do you roosters mean any
wny? I know this hero gontlomnn nnd
havo known him since ho was a kid.
Him and mo used to play together lu
bis mother's yard back In Missouri."
.Professor Drlcsbnch opened his eyes,
"When ho wnfl six years old," con
tinued his advocate, "ho had a lit.
After that ho kept having tits. Then
ho began to steal things, Mother
couldn't kcop nuythlng In tho cubbard
but he'd como lu and steal It. And I
couldn't savo any pennies becauno ho'd
Kit 'cm In splto of all 1 could do to
hldo 'cm. Do you s'poso I told on him
and got him licked? Not much.
What'd I want to git a kid that had
Ota and scarlet fever aud Hplnal monln
gltls Into trouble for?"
Tho professor held his breath In
amazement.
"And how could any ono handicap
ped this wi'y an n boy expect to mako
a man of hlmsolf? Of courso Iio'h n
horse thief, nnd any ono of you who'd
had chicken pox and measles nnd
mumps and tits when you was n boy
would make a horso thief yourselves
when you grow up. This hero prisoner
throws himself on tho mercy of tho
court."
Ileforo tho pica was half tlulHlied tho
minds of tho Jurymen wero mado up,
nnd Professor Drlesback was nciiult
ted without their leaving tho boards
on which they sat.
After tho verdict tho court, the nc
quitted man, his attorneys nnd tho
spectators went outsldo nnd wero
nbout to disperse when a couple of
mounted men wero seen driving a
man on a black horso before thorn at
tho points of tholr revolvers. They
camo up and stopped before tho crowd.
"Qood gracious," exclaimed tho pro-
lessor, "tnut'H my liorsol" Then to tho
man on his back, "Where did you llnd
Mm?"
"Find him!" growled ono of his
guards. "IIo took him."
"I'd been watchinV said tho thlof,
"an when you drew up to tho tavern
I took a whlto boss standtn' near nit
put him In placo o' yourn. I knowed
you was weak lu tho upper story an
I'd gain time."
A rope was brought for tho horso
thief, but tho professor begged for tho
prisoner's llfo, nnd It was granted on
condition that ho loavo tho country.

A Cranky Widow.
Copyright, im, by T. a MeClur.
Undo Ben Williams hold that wid
ows should marry only widowers for
a second term of matrimony. He nlso
had to keep a book account of tho
widowers.
There camo n day when Undo Bon
hnd to ndd his own namo to tho list
of widowers. His good wlfo passed
away aud left hlra alone. He grieved
for a fow months nnd then started In
on his work again. IIo was rather
forced to. Ho got track of n widow
who had given out that sho would
never marry again. Bho hnd beard of
Undo Ben and had given out that she
defied him. IIo still woro his em
blem of mournlug as ho drove over to
sco her. He found her perfectly sat
isfied with her situation. Death hnd
claimed a husband so lazy that ho
hnted to turn over In bed, and she
didn't propose to take further chances.
Uncle Ben brought out his statistics.
They ran back 400 years nnd applied
to every nntlon. They proved beyond
controversy that there was only ono
constitutionally lazy man out of ovcry
COO of tho male population. Thus the
widow might rcmnrry 4UU tiracB and
run no risk. Sho then put It that her
lato lamented hnd tho nppetlto of a
horse nnd shook tho walls of tho
house at night with his snorlngs.
There wero statistics to prove that
this state of affairs was to bo found in
America only lu ono enso out of n
thousand uud then when the moon
was lu her third ijunrter. Whatever
excuse tliu widow brought forward
Uncle Ben successfully controverted,
nnd at leugth she gnre lilm u big
plcco' of apple plo uud a ghiua of elder
and gently turned him out of doors.
But he wouldn't stay out. Within a
month ho was Imck to plead the causa
of u certain widower. He had the
tniiU't) history down lu writing, and
ho hnd ill', tintype. The widower
dltl.i't nuue, he wns n hustler, ho was
good nntured. ho didn't swear nt his
oxen, ho built the kitchen flro In tho
morning, ho hnd n farm of so many
acres, aud he was the owner of bo
many horses, cattle, hogs nnd sheep,
with u spotted cnlf thrown lu to
muko n good bargain. Tho widow
shook her head and said nay, howover.
Bho hud sixty ucrcs of her laud In
turnips, nud sho felt that It was go
ing to be a great year for that vego
tublo. Undo Ben enmo again with n wid
ower that hnd onco seen tho widow
driving along tho highway and bad
fallen In lovo with her. IIo had only
11 vo children; ho uover refused his wlfo
a calico dress or a pnlr of oboes; ho
never Indulged In remarks whan his
meals wero not ready; If tbo cellar
nooded whltowashlng ho did tbo work
himself; If n tin pan leaked bo could
mend it, and If tho churn cohSw urako
bo could muko another from a broom
stick within ton minutes. Tbo widow
gave this man ten minutes' thought
and then shook her bend. Hay was
Boiling for $20 a ton, nnd Bho would
have thirty tons to sell.
Ho brought Nos. 4, 0 nnd 0, and
ho brought tintypes, pliotogrnphB nnd
memoranda, Ho drank elder whllo
enumerating tholr many virtues, nnd
ho nto apple, peach nnd huckleber
ry pio between statistics. As ono
cnndldnto after another was' presented
nud his claims set forth Undo Bon
Bnw thnt tho widow softened n bit
Hho turned thorn nil down, but this
softening encournged him to go ahead.
In his own mind ho thought hor a bit
particular oven cranky for 'turning
uown a runner uiiuu in ono oyo. a
lightning rod man with u gumo leg
nnd a wlro fenco man with a hump on
bis bnck, but bo did not say bo. Ho
know thnt if ho kept on long cuougb
nud could llnd candidates enough tho
wiuow was bouud to glvo In. Ho
didn't neglect his farm work ultogcth
er, but he kept nn eyo out for tho right
sort of candidate, IIo thought ho had
mm lu No. 7. Ho brought tho widow
er to the house nud let him Bit In tho
buggy at tho gato whllo ho weut in to
do the talking.
"There ho Is, wlddcr," bo said, with
an ulr of conlldonco. "Tnko a look at
him from tho winder. Forty-eight

"No, you needn't holler," quietly re

"I shan't marry him."
"But look n-here, wlddor, this Is tbo

"Yes."
"And don't you think you're u bit

"I Bhull never marry unless tho right

"But who Is tho right man? Whoro

Tho widow took a Btep forwurd and

Tho Itcv. Marcus Butterflcld tolled

Tetllng determined to accomplish any

by calling Mrs. Bceswick's attention to
