I ACase
By DONA]
((.Ppyright. t9ii. by Assi
Young Sawell Chester thought very
Well of himself. He had studied law
and been admitted to the bar. He was
rather good-looking and the praises
of-certain ladies had made him vain...
While waiting for his first case he
had the consolation of feeling that his
bread and butter did not depend on it.
-.Altogether, Mr. Chester was taking a
rosy view of life. He might have con
tinued in this line for many months
Indre but for forming the acquaint
ance of Miss Mildred Vane.
Aftei his first case a lawyer is cau
tious. Instead of plunging he looks up
the law. The first time Mr. Chester
imet Miss Vane he admired her. The
second time he fell in love. The third
tionc-well, Miss Varoe was rather a
blunt-outspoken girl, and she turned
on him with:
"Mr. Chester, I should think the law
would occupy your attention to the ex
clusion of everything else until you
had carved a name for yourself."
Mr. Chester mentally -admitted that
the girl had the advantage.
PYou :aren't in pradtice yet, are
Yoi?" continued the g:iIl. "I mean the
practice of law?"
"I-- haven't had a -case."
"But you probably will have, if you
wait long enough."
"I had an uncle -Wro'studied law and
Wnited five years for his Prst ellext.
She was an old woman who had had a
goose stolen from 'her. It was a sim
Pie ease,'but he 'won it and then went
right bead -and became a great lawyer.
You 'should 'not get discouraged."
Lawyers never -swear. They kinw
the laws against profanity. They
never indulge in threats. There's 'a
lnw 'about 'that. 'They never see-k re
venge. 'The law -faces them again. Mr.
Chester 'felt himself crushed, hut he
coild 'lock 'lhimself in his office and -de
tIre hi 'whispers that the day wou'ld
come--yes, it should come-by the
betrd -df his 'father it must come
when--mnd so on and so tMrth! Then
be took :up life -again and did more
waiting for a client and still continued
to love 'Miss Mildred Vane, though lie'
took cure -not to lisp the fact to any
body.
Mr. 'Vane was-sometking or olrer in
.a life insurance company. As fhat
womething or'other brought him a sal

The CocmnWa.lm

Mr. Vane stuck to his horses and
carriage, instead of selling them for
junk and doing his riding .in a clhug
wagon. He thought it safer for the
public. In an auto lie did not know
what minute ho mnight run down one
of his own policyholders who carried
a $25i,000 risk anad had paid but one
premium on it.
It therefore came about that one aft
ernoon Mr. Vane's coachman was
driving Mr. Vane's daughter over the
highway leading from home to the vil
lage and the railroad dlepot. There
were farmhouses to pass. Th'lere were
cows and pigs and geese and henrs to
pass. Mr. Vane's coachman sat up
very straight and dignified. He had a
position in the world. COWS andl pigs
h and geese and hens had not. There
fore, it was for them to look out. Tlhey
seemed to realize this, and~ slowly
sauntered out of the dust into the
mayweeds.
All but one old gander! lHe was
full of dignity and had a reputation to
maintain. There was his flock looking
on and waiting to see if he would show
the white feather. He took his stand
and with outspread wings lie hissed
defiance. He was a brave old gander,
but he went down under the iron hoofs
of the blacks and met his doom. He
gave forth one squawk and all was
over I
"'Here-stop--what have you done!"
exclaimed Miss Mildred at the coach
man as she realized that there had
been an accident of seine kind.
"Only an old geese, Miss," was the
reply, though the horses wore checked.
"But we'll see ahout the old goose

"Neither did you. That goose had
as much right to the highway as you
Hfave. I was watching, and you didn't
turn out an inch."
"I am willing to pay the value of the
goose," said Miss Mildred as sie
opened her purse.
"Very well, miss. My price is $501"
"What! What! Fifty dollars for a
goose!"
"Don't you give him over 60 cents!"
put in coachee.
"Fifty dollars, miss, and not a cent
less!" said the farmer as he set his
jaw. "I don't set that value on him
simply an an old gander, but because
lie has licked a fox and a hawk in a
fair fight. One night, when a robbes
was trying to get into the house thin
old gander gave the alarm. I had only
to watch his actions to tell the weath
er three days in advance. Oh, yes,
you will have to pay the $50, and I am
letting you off cheap at that."
"But I won't pay it!" flamed the girl.
"It is simply ridleulous. I'll pay a dol
lar and no more."
"Not another vent," added the coach
TnaIl.
"Very well. 1 am a constable, and I
arrest you both for malicious destruc
tion of property. Drive to the village
and I will bavo you arraigned in
Coulrt!"
Whereupon he climbed up beside the
driver an-d 'gave the word to go on.
Had he not declared himself an officer
he would have been pitched out. To
pitch an .ffleer from a carriage on his
head into the highway is no joke in
law. The coachman was glum, and
the girl 'bit her handkerchief to keep
back the words of "sass" that rose to
her lips. and the remainder of the
drive was not enjoyed by anyone.
On arriving in the village the car
riage was driven straight to The office
e1"a justice of the peace, wid Miss Mil
dred's feelings passed from indigna
tifon to fear.
Just how the brieftless young lawyer
happened to be in the village'need not
'be explained, but lie was there and
saw the carriage and (ame 'to 'know
what had happened. After ten 'min
utes talk with the coachma.n he en
tered the courtroom to nod to the girl
prisoner, and to inform 'tile justice
that he was her conusel 'i-n 'the case.
Then and t0h9e occurred vn episode.
The prisoners were nrralgrred,:and the.
Lawyer Chester drew -a 'long 'breath
and prepared to do or die.
The killing of the old gander -was
admitted. It. was admitted that he was
the property of the plaintiff. 'It was
further admitted that 'he 'hal a 'legal
right on the king's highway,'but 'there
was the question of vplue. Even in
the city of New York, at Thanksgiving
or Christmas time, a tough old-gander
was not worth over .a 'dollar 'in -the
mar'ket. That sum had 'been 'offered
the owner and rejected.
Fifty dollars for a go'ose'? Whoever
heard of the like? The cackling of
geese saved~ Rlome, but miot one of 'the
flock brought over two dollars ntfter
'wards. Malicious dlestruction of goose
life? WVhy, his clients were not aware
'that such a gander was 'in .ettistence'!
That. gander had fought -a Shawk and 'a
fox, but it was that same belligerent
spirit that had brought about hi-s
dcath. H-e was more of -a menace to
the 'highway than thte carriage.
'r. Chester spoke for an hour. Hie
waved his a rms. lie thundered. He
iuoted decisions, lHe app~ealed. HeJ
won 'his case and went over 'to the girl
smiling.
"JTust ilike my uncle!" she laughed.
"Yes, this is my first case, and it is
about a -go'gse."
"And your next, let us hope-"
"Will be about a young lady, nnd I
feel that I shall win that!"
Miss M ildrled biushedl and turned
away. The ease may not be called for
some little time yet, but Mr. Chester
has confidecnce in the plea he has pro
pared.
Good for Sickroom.
A sandbag is one of the most set'
viceable articles to use in the sick
roo~m. (let some ('lean, fine sand, dry
it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove,
make a bag about eight inchtes square
of flannel, fill it with the dr'y sand,
sew the opening carefully together
andi cover' the bag with cotton or lin
en cloth, This will prevent the sand
from sifting out, and will also enable
you to heat the bag quickly by placing
it in the oven, or even on the top of
the stove. After once using this you
will never' again attempt to warm' the
feet or hands of a sick person with a
bottle of hot water or a brickc. The
sand holds the heat a long time and
th(e bag catn be tuceked up to the back
withot hurting the invalid. It is a
goodl plan to make two or three of the
bags and keep them ready for use,

imprudent Act. That Really Means
Man is Borrowing From His
Widow.
Many men, pressed for money, go
to the life insurance company, de
Iosit their policy as security and bor
row as much as the company is will
ing to lend. That the practice is com
mon is proved by the fact that most
companies have loaned from a fourth
to a third of the aggregate face value
of their policies in this waf. "Very
few of these loans," says the annual
report of the Connecticut Mutual-and
this company's experience is typical
"are ever repaid to the company. The
money . . . are swallowed up
in business enterprises, in specula
tion . . . and the total result
means embarrassment and distress in
a great many cases, and poverty in
the place of competence, when the
claims mature, and there is nothing
left above the loans but a mere mar
gin in cash on the policies for the
protection of families or estates."
Men who borrow on their policies are
taking away protection from their
families. It ought not to be done.

Politician and Preacher.
A politician in a western state, long
suspected of crookedness and noted
'for his shifty ways, was finally in
d'icted and tried. The jury was out a
long time, but eventually acquitted
him. After tihe verdict was in and
the politician was leaving the court
room, a misnister who had been ir
part responslble for the indictmeni
and trial, approached the politician
and said: "Well, my friend, you havt
escaped; but you had a close shave
I trust this will be a warning to yox
-to lead a better life and deal mor
fairly with your fellow men."
