A "STOLEN INVENTION.
How the Designer of the Hanaem
Cab loat a Fortune.
Charles Hansom, the famous English
architect, was a talented man In many
respects other than In the exercise of
his profession. He was dining on a
certain day with a few friends when
one of them taunted him with being
unable to invent a vehicle which would
supersede the old fashioned hacks and
cabs In universal use In Loudon. Mr.
Hansom got n sheet of paper, and
without any delay he sketched out his
Idea of a safe and convenient mode of
passing through tho crowded streets
of the great metropolis. Ills friends
watched him while he was at work
und unanimously applauded the sketch
which he had drawn. They dubbed It
by the nam of Its Inventor, and it was
then and there called a "Hansom ear."
One of those present advised him to
take out a patent for It, which he said
he would do on the morrow. Howev
er, there wns one dishonest man In the
company, by whom ho was forestalled,
for on reaching his own house that
evening and being, like Mr. Hansom,
a clever draftsman, as all great archi
tects are, he sketched out a ear like
tlifc'.drawlng he had seen, and early the
following morning he took it to the
office and got out a patent for it In
his own name, thus robbing the talent
ed. Inventor of all the remuneration
which he deserved to reap from It. It
brought an Immense but ill gotten for
tune to the one who had perpetrated
the fraud, whereas Mr. Charles Han
som was never one penny the richer.

There was once In n North Carolina
court a case that has gone down as
history In the Judicial annals of the
state. It appears that a debtor named
Jenkins, when solicited to close nn old
open account by note, agreed to do so
provided he should be allowed to draft
the Instrument. This was granted him,
whereupon he presented the creditor
with the following:
"I, Samuel Jenkins, agree to pay
John Hoggins $200 whenever conven
ient, but It Is understood that said Jen
kins is not to bo pushed. Witness my
hand and seal this day of
Samuel Jenkins." Harper's Weekly.
