"I was new in the business and as
ambitions as Ctesar. I would tackle
anything, and like most lawyers ia the
early stages I had no trouble in con
vincing myself that my client was
right and the other fellow a rascal.
An old granger near the city m which
I Urst swung my shingle to the freeze
was always in trouble with his neigh

"A writ of replevin was issued. I
took the case- for the owner of the cat

to an office of an old German 'squire,
or justice of the peace. His temple of
justice was an old rattle-trap of a
liuilding with no ceiling, but stringers
across where the clapboards termin
ated and the peaked roof began. The
occupants of these stringers kept all
below busily tlouging tooacco juice.
The jury was made up of a lot of hon

sphinx-like as that of a professional

uncertain chair that had earned au

owl-like wisdom iu activity by con
stantly whittling on a hardwood
broomstick.
Pitted against me were two old
lawyers, and it was their pleasure to
constantly utilize my yoiuhfuioess in
impairing tny standing w ith the jury.
I was full of tight, but what almost
drove me from the shanty was the fact
that the 'squire ruied dead against me
every time. I argued, pleaded, read
authorities, kicked and upbraided, but
the whittling representative of the
blind goddess neyer turned a hair.

tinued the reporter, "there was a
crowd iu McClackery's saloon and a

"Thai's the way with the big cow

"Yes, I've noticed it." continued the
reporter, "and il was the same thing

grily. "Not at first, but pretty soon a dude

"Ah!" exclaimed the city editor,
"vou can't tell about those dudes.
They are the old Harry when they get
right, down to it."
"Yep. and this one was there in fine
style. He was little and thin, but that
doesn't make any difference, and he
waited quietly for the big one to come
his way."
I like a man like that." snorted the
city editor, after the manner of Job's
war horse. "There is business iu 'em
clean to the bone. Did the big one
tackle him?"'
"He didn't notice him at first, but
he caught on in a moment or two and
made for the dude straight as a

"'Kah for the dude," yelled the city

One of A melie Hives' Whims.
"According to St. John" lias its lit
tle hi.-tory. A N. Y. IJress reporter
was lold the other day by one who is
in position to know that this story was
refused by at lenst one first-class pub
lisher in New York, and was finally
taken bv a magazine for the sum of
.",000.
The proceeds were spent upon an
unfortunate young cousin, physically
nfllieted, but intellectually brilliant,
iu Paris a successful operation was
performed whereby a face, before dis
figured, was made natural and comely.
On her return home with her bene
factress the young cousin was not
recognized even by her parents. For
the authoress had kept the whole mat
ter secret, saving tlie result as a jov-
ous gift.
Thus the storv was called Accord
ing to St. John," based upon the lines
in that book. "Greater love hath no
man than this, that he lay down his
life for his friend.''
His Little Joke Failed.
An excellent story is told in the Lon
don Tid-Uit of the late Prof. Koger
aod Dr. K. Dale of Birmingham. Those
two gentlemen were giving a series of
lectures in Lancashire, aud at every
town he visited Dr. Dale noticed thai
his colleague, who always spoke first,
made the same speech. In fact, so
often did the professor give that
speech that the worthy doctor knew it
all by heart, aud this led the latter to
think of a way of taking the wind out
of l is friend's fails.
On their arrival at a town in south
Lancashire Dr. Dale asked Dr. Rogers-
to allow him to speak first, au arrange-
men to which the latter readily agreed,
so Dr. Dale arose and proceeded to de
liver the speech of Dr. lingers, looking
every now aod then with the corner of
his eye to see how that worthy gentle
man'was taking this practical joke.
Dr. Rogers sat calm and composed,
and when at length his turn came to
speak he just as calmly rose and de
livered, to Dr. Dale's utter astonish
ment, a new speech.
At the conclusion of the meeting Dr.
Dale said to his colleague:
" I thought I had taken the wind out
cf your sails to-night! '
Dr. Rogers replied: "Oh, no; I de
livered that speech when I was here a
month SJT 11
