A alean Trick. A. lawyer defending a promissory note went to lundi, leaving lils books and citations on the table Tn the court jropm. The opposing counsel sneaked back into the room and changed the places of all his bookmarks. In the ^afternoon the lawyer, laking up his i 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: "I- was inclined after hearing argu ment of counseJ. for defendant to non suit, plaintiff,, but I find, after referring to the-authorities quoted by counsel, none of them bear on this case, and I 'am lcd to think that the gentleman has been willfully trying to insult tbe court He has referred me to an ac tion of an Irishman wbo 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?ev divorce cases, none of which bears on an action to recover on a promissory note. Perhaps the grossest insult to the court is referring to .Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an ac tion charging defendant with breach o?- promise.

"I bas been hearin' 'bout new issues fur de last year. When I warned Sam uel Shin agin sittin* up nights to learn big words to git off at the wood yard next day he pleaded new issues. "When I ad wised Waydown Bebee to keep to work at a dollar a day an' let ward cau cuses run deir selves, he flung new issues at me till I had to run away.

"It wasn't two weeks ago dat I went .ober to Samuel Shin's house to find his chillen cryin' wid hunger an' his ole woman weepin' wid grief, while he an' Kurnel Cabiff was off somewhat' huntin' fur new issues. "Oh, yes, I'ze hearin' 'bout new is sues fur a long time past, an' de time has now-arrove when I propose to take a hand in. I agree wid dese new issue men dat old issues am dead, but I kin remember all 'bout 'em. "I kin remember when no man Hbin' dared charge a political candydate wid burglary, arson an' highway robbery. "I kin remember when de man who jumped up an' wanted a nomination kase he had money to push a campaign took a tumble as soon as he began to boiler. "I kin remember when dar was no sich word as 'divy' among officehold ers. If a city ordered a sower or a sidewalk dar was no risin' to demand 20 per cent from de contractor.

"If we had had sich political scan dals fo'ty years ago as have filled de papers fur de last three years, an' of which nobody seems to take any par ticular notice, de public would have got up on deir hind legs an' busted out into revolution. "In de olden time de question asked 'bout a candydate w'as, '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. "I'ze only a pore old culPd man, who put in his first years as a slave on a plantashun, an' who nebber had mueb to lib fur, but dar am one thing I am proud of. No, man eber called me a thief. All round me, since de new is sues showed up. I have found white men an' officeholders who didn't care what name de people an' de papers called 'em so long as dey gothic cash. "Yes, de old issues have vanished, an' we have got new issues in deir place. It's what dey call progression. In de old days an officeholder wllo stole $100 lost his good name an' went to prison; Under dis new deal he steals $10.000 an' Is looked upon as a good candydate fur a higher office.

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 weal: kid neys, lithe 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.

Y., be sure and mention this paper. lt is sold They rate on the company's pay roll ns third clerks. Unofficially, but more correctly, they are known as mud clerks. Jimmy Boynton was mud clerk on the big side wheel steamboat Rena Stanton, and he was proud of the fact. Now, tiie chief clerk on a .Mississippi river boat is a dignitary of no mean importance, while the second clerk is almost as impressive an individual. Thc mud clerk is the youngster who foilows the foremost deck hand off tbfe gangplank at every lauding and checks tho freight. When he jumps off the gangplank he. generally lands in mud up to his knees. The reason why he never receives his rightful title of third clerk is obvious. Some men might uot consider this pleasant work, but It suited Jimmie. He knew, too, that the way of a mud clerk, if properly directed, loads to a chief clerkship and eventually to a post as captain. Meantime lie was a happy go lucky sort of lad who was liked by every ono from-tho captain <lown to th?; negro deck hands, more commonly known as "ronsters." On this particular evening he was at peace with himself, the world and even the ronsters who were unloading' the cargo of cotton on the levee. Jimmy was mechanically chocking the num bers atop tho 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 the force of thc current lay a tiny island, formed by the 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. lt was a marvelous power, was this mother of -?raters, 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 not trade jobs just now with his own congressman. And then she came on the scene, and he suddenly discovered that it might be desirable to be a congressman after all and wear glossy boots and unstained trousers. It ali happened very suddenly-so suddenly, iu 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 aud, 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 thiu 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 lier 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 quanti.ty. Ile de cided that the vision must be a daugh ter of a railroad president at least, and probably had a million or two in her own right. Having roached this deci sion, he finished thc 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 tho long, narrow, oval expanse, but Jimmie was thor oughly convinced that Miss Thomas could see his mud spattered garments as he rushed through bis report in front of the clerk's desk. So expedi tiously did he complete this task that the Rena Stanton bad* 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 tito meal was over Jimmie thank ed his stxfrs that, after all, he was only the mud clerk. Both the first aud 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 wns when the soft, thin stuff nt 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 re mind him that daughters of railroad presidents with their purple and fine linen, which in this instance appeared in the form of forgctruenot 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 wheh the Kate Adams hove in sight, and they, leaned against the rall while Jimmie' discoursed upon the Xeats performed I 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 tho thought. Everything happened too quickly. Miss Thomas in her excitement had' climbed up on the foot rail when Hie imperti nent evening breeze took a fancy to 111*. pink crowned hat. Away it went. There was a shrill shriek, and some thing blue and fluttering bent a little too far over and then went after thc hat. And after both went Jimmie. We prompUy obtain T7.

C. it must be admitted that under the jj influence of a blanket, some hot grog jg and thc fulsome praise of one or two J of his comrades Jimmie indulged In a some romantic day dreams. He had a picture of a grateful railroad president, a pink and blue vision with downcast! eyes and a brown eyed young man be ing very magnanimous, but neverthe-i less accepting a lifetime devotion in re-; turn for a cold plunge. Then the ef fects of the grog wore off, an?VJimm5e? shook himself vigorously. The next morning he stood diffident-] ly in Miss Thomas' presence. Gore j were the blue frock with its lace frill.si and the beautiful rose crowned hat. A1 very sober, sad eyed young woman ! clad in a simple gingham dress mur-3 mured her thanks. Jimmie shifted from one foot to the? other and tried to hide his embarrass-% ment, but when Miss Thomas burst | into tears he forgot differences of sta-1 tion and sat down beside ber. | "Oh, I reckon you won't be any the 3 worse for the ducking," he said by S way of consolation, wishing he could I take the sobbing figure in his arms and t 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 j dress, and I-I was so proud of it'. I j 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 have one] of 'em every summer; see if you don't."! The girl dried her eyes and looked at j him in wonder, but he hardly noticed her expression. He was thlnklnj ecstatically that you cannot always tell! a railroad president's daughter by her} clothes. And it was not until Jimmie became! .chief clerk of the Rena Stanton and! settled his bftde and her widowed j mother in a neat little cottage at N?tch-j cz that he discovered that very pret ty muslin could be bought for 12%! 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 37% cents] per yard. Tul:e Your Time .Eat in*. Here is an example that ls 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 din uer in which to satisfy a labor ing man's appetite. There was an ex? cellent array ot 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 sandwiches, 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 saysr ? "If 1 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 -ould 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 strained tissue or fermenting food in which to build their disease nests." jj Observation proves that you cannot! get morb nutriment into your stomach I than salivation prepares, "gulp" though jj you may, but you eau take in a load ofJ disease possibilities In trying to force or evade proper salivation.-Cooking ciub. _ Women In Poland. Polish women are renowned for their beauty, for the perfection of their hand3 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!" But their pleasure in this distinction j is not so much a matter of personal j 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 and 12 in the forenoon and goes to bed j at 4 o'clock the next morning. She drives from one visit to another, but in reality she ls laboring all day- for pub lic interests. Everything, the founding of a librar}', a hospital, a sewing school, is made to strengthen the Po lish cause. Four ladles do not meet on a charity committee, says George Brandes, without taking some meas ure, under that innocent pretext, for the national benefit As a consequence of this charm and spirit, the women of Poland receive from the men a courtesy amounting to homage.
