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. Judgment for plaintiff
with; costs." j

was gwinc round barfut an' his dullen
wanted close, he brung up new issues
as an excuse.
"When I found Giveadam Jones let
tin' his rent git three months behind
while he stood on de co'ner an' talked
free trade, he raised de question of
new issues an' was so sassy.'bout it
dat I had to take bim by the collar ail'
whop his heels agin de lamppost.
"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.

dared charge a political candydate wid
burglary, arson an' highway robbery.

jumped up an' wanted a nomination
kase he had money to push a campaign
took a tumble as soon as he began to

"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.
"Once upon a time in dis kentry we

an' we bad no scaudals. Instead of

at home an' died In deir beds au' war
mourned as honest men.
"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.

How many can tell the origin of the
habit of closing the eyes in prayer?
Far back in thc past the sun' was the
universal object of worship. As Ii
rose above the horizon the ..'dev-olee
thanked It for its return to bless-fbe
world. As it set in the west he im
plored its early return. His face was
always toward tho sun in prayer, and
his eyes won." closed to prevent blind*

father to son for thousands of years.
Though thc object of worship bas been
changed, the custom survives.

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.

S WI FT ACQ., Patent twyw?.
Opp. U.S. Patent Offlco, Washington, D. 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

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. Men always rise in a tram
car to give a lady a seat. At any pub
lic place a chair may be ruthlessly de
manded of even the most distinguished
official present, with the suflleient ex-j
planatlon, "for a lady/'
