A Mean Trick-. "A lawyer defending a promissory jij?te went to lunch, leaving bis books aid citations on the table In the court room. The opposing counsel sneaked back into the.room and changed the places of all his bookmarks. In the afternoon the lawyer, taking up his books, referred the court to his author ities. His lordship noted every "Volume and page carefully and took the case under consideration. In rendering his opinion he said: ~"~ *T was inclined after hearing argu ment of counsel, 'or defendant to non sult.plaintiff,.but I find, after referring to the^authorities quoted by counsel, nobe of them bear on this case, and I 'am led to think that the gentleman has .been willfully trying to insult tbe court. He has referred me to an ac tion of an Irishman who sued the pro prietor of a monkey for damages for ; biting him, to a case of arson, one of burglary, .two of petty larceny and -thr^i. divorce cases, none of which bears on an action to recover on a promissory note.

"In de olden time de question asked 'bout a candydate was, 'Am he fit?' In dese days de question am, 'Has he got de. cash?' We ain't lookin' fur fitness. De question of integrity don't cum up 'tall.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well aj men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

McClure U |^?% ^ y^.yg*% ^s"^.?^.?^^?^] They rate on the company's pay roll ss third clerks. Unofficially, but more correctly, they are known as mud clerks. Jimmy Boynton was mud clerk on the big side wheel steamboat ?tiena Stanton, and he was proud of the fact. Now, the chief clerk on a Mississippi river boat is a dignitary of no mean importance, while the second clerk is almost as impressive an individual. The mud clerk is thc youngster who follows the foremost deck hand off tire gangplank at every lauding and checks the freight. When he jumps off the gangplank he generally lands in mud up to his knees. The reason why he never receives Iiis rightful title of third clerk is obvious. Some men might not consider this pleasant work, but lt suited Jimmie, tie knew, too, that the way of a mud clerk, if properly directed, leads to a chief clerkship and eventually to a post ns captain. Meantime he was a happy go lucky sort of lad who was liked hy every ono from-the captain down to the negro deck hands, more commonly known as "rousters." On this particular evening he was nt peace with himself, the world and eveu the rousters who were unloading' the cargo of cotton on the levee. Jimmy was mechanically chocking the num bers atop the bales, but a strange sort of inner consciousness was drinking in the beauty of the scene before him. The setting sun had turned the muddy waters to a sensuous, laving silver. Just beyond the ripples made by the slowly turning paddle wheels of the boat In the reverse motion necessary to counteract thc force of the current lay a tiny Ishthd, formed by thc cutting in two of a long, narrow sand bar. A few cottonwood trees- nodded lazily on the willful 'blt of land. . To his right the old levee had crumbled away, and a new ono had been built behind it. form ing an artificial lake fringed with tall cottonwood trees and gnarled stumps of cypress. Across the stream the mighty force of water had cut into an island, and every time the boat passed up and down the river the contour of the bank had changed. Sometimes only a foot or two had been sliced away. Sometimes whole acres had dis appeared. It was a marvelous power, was this mother of -waters, and yet Jimmie thought exultantly that he was master of it. He could ride it. turn its force into money, make it earn him position and promotion. And, thinking thus, he decided that he would nut trade jobs just now with his own congressman. And then she came un the scene, and he suddenly discovered that it might be desirable to bo a congressman alter all and wear glossy boots and unstained trousers. It all happened very suddenly-so suddenly, in fact, that he stopped in the midst of a mighty volley of very forci ble language aimed at a lazy rouster, dropped his stub of a pencil and, in blissful ignorance of what he was do ing, stood deliberately staring at the dainty vision tripping up the gang plank. The vision wore something very fluf fy and thin and blue, with something thinner still at her throat and wrists, something which fluttered about very coquettishly when she turned her head or lifted her skirts. And her broad flat hat was wreathed in the pinkest of pink roses. Jimmie had only one brief glimpse, but he remembered quite dis tinctly that the blue in her dress and in her eyes matched perfectly, likewise the pink in her hat and her lips. Now, of course any authority on fash ion could have informed Jimmie that the vision was most badly dressed for traveling, but to Jimmie "good form" was an unknown quantity. Ile de cided that tho vision must be a daugh ter of a railroad president at least, and probably had a million or two in her own right. Having reached this deci sion, he finished the volley of language, picked up his pencil and resolutely turned his back on the vision. But visions such as Miss Lorena Thomas possess a haunting quality. The ladies' cabin, so called by courtesy, lay at the other end of thc long, narrow, oval expanse, but' Jimmie was thor oughly convinced that Miss Thomas could see his mud spattered garments as he rushed through his report in front of the clerk's desk. So expedir tiously did he complete this task that the Rena Stanton had not got under full headway before Jimmie bolted into his tiny stateroom in search of the only other pair of 'trousers he possessed. They : met at the supper table, and when the meal was over Jimmie thank ed his strfrs that, after all, he was only the mud clerk. Both the first and second clerk had desk work before them, and Jimmie had only a long, lazy evening on deck, during which he could show Miss Thomas the beauties of his river life. There were moments when this pleas ure palled, however. That was when the soft, thin stuff at Miss Thomas' neck and wrists fluttered with a par ticularly elegant air or the pink roses In her hat bent with languid dignity in his direction. They seemed to Pi mind him that daughters of railroad presidents with their purple and fine linen, which in this instance appeared in the form of forgotmenot blue and rose pink, were not for mud clerks, even if the latter had flattering pros pects. He had about decided to lead up to the topic of her family when die Kate Adams hove in sight, and they, leaned against the rail while Jimmie' discoursed upon the feats performed by this the fastest boat on the river. In truth. Jimmie's ambition had once stopped with the captaincy of the Kate Adams, but now he thought with a sigh. "What ls the Kate Adams after all?" But he did not linger on the thought. Everything happened too quickly. Miss Thomas in her excitement han' climbed up on the foot rail when the imperti nent evening breeze took a fancy to the pink crowned hat. Away it went. There was a shrill shriek, and some thing blue and fluttering bent ti little too far over and then went after tho hat. And after both went Jimmie. it must be admitted tbat under the | influence of a blanket, some bot grog g and tho fulsome praise of one or two J of his comrades Jimmie indulged in a some romantic day dreams. He had u picture of a grateful railroad president^ a pink and blue vision with downcast] eyes and a hrown eyed young man be ing very magnanimous, but neverthe-; less accepting a lifetime devotion in re- ; turn for a cold plunge. Then the ef fects of the grog wore off, anoVJImmiej shook himself vigorously. The next morning he stood diffident-j ly in Miss Thomas' presence. Gone ? were the blue frock with its lace frills] and the beautiful rose crowned hat. A' ycry sober, sad eyed young woman ! clad in a simple gingham dr?ss mur-; mured her thanks. Jimmie shifted from one foot to the^ other and tried to hide his embarrass-1 ment, but when Miss Thomas burst I into tears he forgot differences of sta-' tion and sat down beside her. "Oh, I reckon you won't be any the] worse for the ducking," he said by' way of consolation, wishing he could, take the sobbing figure in his arms and] say something more comforting. "It isn't the wetting I mind, but but-my-oh, my dress! I sewed three] weeks for Aunt Myra to pay for that) dress, and I-I was so proud of it'.' V know I shall never have another one.^| as pretty as long as I live." "Yes, you will," declared Jimmie,] with the air of a prophet who knew! his calling. "Just you wait," he added! mysteriously. "Why, you'll haTe one j of 'em every summer; see If you don't."] The girl dried her eyes and looked at! him in wonder, but he hardly noticed j her expression. He was thinking} ecstatically that you cannot always tell! a railroad president's daughter by her j clothes. And It was not until Jimmie became] chief clerk of the F ena Stanton andi settled his bFlde rnd her widowed, mother in a neat little cottage at Natch ez that he discovered that very pr?t-J ty muslin could be bought for 12%I cents a yard, with pink roses at 50 cents a spray. That was when he In sisted upon choosing the bridal gown and ruled severely against-the loveliest cotton back white satin at 37V? cents per yard. Take Your Time JEatlnff. Here is an example that is worth re membering and following. Horace Fletcher writes of an experience that he had while traveling on'a railway with the proverbial twenty minutes for dinner in which to satisfy a labor ing man's appetite. There was an exr cellent array of good things on the lunch counter to eat and drink, and from these he made'a selection rather than attempt the regular dinner, He chose plump ham 3audwiches, creamy milk and a large piece of pie. The twenty minutes was ample time for disposing of sandwiches and milk, while he had the pie put In paper to give epicurean enjoyment on the train.) He says: ? "If I had put the pie and sandwiches and the milk into my stomach in seven or eight minutes, which, by actual ob servation, Is the gluttonous rate of dis patching a station meal, I would have lost two-thirds of nutriment, more] than one-half-of taste and taken on twenty-four hours of discomfort, pos sibly inviting a cold and creating an 'open door' for any migrating microbes! that were floating about in my atmos phere looking for straine* tissue orj fermenting food in which to ouild their, disease nests." Observation proves tbat you cannot! get more nutriment Into your stomach than salivation prepares, "gulp" though yon may, but you can take in a load of i disease possibilities in trying to force; or . evade proper salivation.-Cooking j Club. _ Women In Poland. Follsh women are renowned for their beauty, for the perfection of their hands and the smallness of their feet Polish ladies maintain that'when they shop in Vienna and show their small feet with the high Instep to be fitted the tradesmen exclaim, "Ah, those are Poiish feet!" P.ut their pleasure in this distinction is not so much a matter of personal vanity, as of satisfaction in the supe riority of anything belonging- to their country, for they are fervidly patri otic. The lady of position rises between ll aud 12 in the forenoon and goes to bed at 4 o'clock tho next morning. She drives from one visit to another, but in reality she is laboring all day- for pub lic interests.

He had only known her a few days and wondered how she would take it. She would resent it probably and make him feel like a fool. And there were two young women walking' further down the beach. Arnold stopped to examine a shel), but his eyes glanced stealthily at the forlorn little figure sitting on a rock a few yards, away. She had not seen him, and he.crept nearer.
