attorneys were discussing the peculiar
and rather humorous questions put
to witnesses by young attorney's entering
upon their legal work, and one ,
of the number vouched for the au- i

"I went up to the superior civil j
court one day to hear a young friend
of mine try his first case. All his I
relatives and friends were there and J
? the novice wore a most serious ex- (
presslon as he started to question a|j
witness. He did nicely until he asked
the man:
" 'Did you have a contract with the
plaintiff?'
" 'Yes,' replied the witness. '
'What kind of a contract was It?'
" 'An oral one,' replied the witness.
" 'Will you please produce it?'
"The witness stood stalk still staring
at the attorney and then looked
at the judge, inquiringly. There was
a ripple of laughter throughout the
court room, but still the young attorey
did not 'catch on,' and looking ]
toward the judge, remarked:
" 'Your honor, I ask you to give .
the witness until 2 o'clock to produce i
that contract.' 1
"The court could not longer withhold
and joined In the laughter. Then |

of these concerns a captain in a
South American war.
"This captain"?so Gen. Sickles tells

sick and being reported unfit for duty
whenever there was a big battle in

"After he had shirked about seven

his first visit to the great city of New
Tork, and many of the sights filled
him with wonder, while others fixed
him with awe. But when he went to
the theatre, he felt more at home and
settled down for an evening of pleasure.

Presently his attention was attracted
to the long, fair, silken dress which
was hanging down the back of the
lady In front of him.
"Excuse me, miss," he said, leaning
over, "but your hair Is coming down."
Slowly the maiden turned, and

"That wasn't the reason the deaf !

FORTUNE SPENT FOR FLEAS.
Costs Great Millionaire Vast Sum to
Make His Odd Collection.
The life ambition of one of the world's
richest men is?fleas. He possesses
them from everywhere?fleas from
South America, fleas from Europe,
fleas from the Arctics and fleas from
Australia. Big fleas, little fleas, medium-sized
ones, fleas with spots and
fleas without 'em. The Hon. Charles
Rothschild, son of the late Lord Rothschild,
and a member of the richest family
in the world, loves them all and has
resolved his life into ? ie grand song
whereof the refrain is fleas, fleas, fleas.
In the zoological museum owned by
his brother, Walter Rothschild, at
Thring, a little town in Herefordshire,
thirty miles from London, Charles
Rothschild wanders among his flea
cabinets, gloating over his rare specimens,
planning the capture of more. For
fifteen years he has pursued fleas persistently,
internationally, paying large
sums or small sums to achieve his desire,
until now his flea collection ranks
els the greatest In the world.
The average person, you and me,
reader, imagines there is but one kind
sf flea, that which meets us somewhere
In the middle of our backs and bites
where we can't scratch. Wrong. There
ire more breeds and grades of fleas
than there are fashions on Fifth avelue
on a bright Sunday. Every dog
las his fleas, and even every cat. The
musk ox grows an especial flea, and
the silver fox has his own unique
Drand. Practically every species of
inimal carries around excess baggage
n the shape of an Individually designed
flea. Charles Rothschild possesses
forty types of flea. But his collection
s not complete, not nearly complete,
ind the man who can discover a kind
if floo nrVi bt Phorloa PAthoohilH
ioesn't possess Is on the way to gratitude
and money.
For England's great flea expert is
n'llling to spend real money when it
lomes to getting what he wants. Sev- i
?ral years ago he learned that the silver
fox of the Arctic regions specialized
on a brand of flea not at all common.
He wanted that flea. At first he
:onsidered offering a reward of $5,000
'or it, but later decided to send an expedition
that would be sure to get the
;special insect and no other. It was not
ong before the good ship Blueball
cleared from Quebec, and the skipper,
P. G. Simpson, had orders not to return
until he had captured that bright,
particular flea.
A year went by. The Bluebell re
mained in the region of Ice and snow.
Another year passed?three, four. Then
into Quebec came the good ship with a
happy skipper and a Jubilant crew. The
cargo was one of fleas?fleas from the
polar bear, the thick hair of which
forms a haven for millions of these
parasites; fleas from the musk ox, the
gray wolf, the blue fox, the husky dog,
and, best of all, from the silver fox. It
was this elusive type of flea that had
kept the ship so long in the Arctics.
The silver fox is hard to capture. Day
after day the crew of the Bluebell
tramped the wastes, setting traps,
hunting and searching,, but the stealthy
silver fox refused to surrender, ai
last, however, patience had Its reward,
and not one but many inimitable specimens
of the silvered variety were
brought to bottle and the port. Charles
Rothschild read cablegrams ghat night
and was jubilant. What were a few
thousand dollars compared to a new
make of flea?
That he may further enhance his flea
collection, Mr. Rothschild has representatives
In every part of the world.
These men, who are professional Insect
catchers, get their orders to go
out and procure especial types and
then ship them to England, and they
are hard at It every day In the year.
There are other flea collectors with
whom he exchanges specimens for in- |
stance?C. F. Baker, now In California
on a flea hunt. California, be It known,'
has more earnest and Industrious fleas
than any other part of the world. Mr.
Baker Is the author of a book on fleas
and the wicked part they play in
spreading leprosy.
For his African insects, of which
there are many, Charles Rothschild
has peculiar facilities. His brother,
Walter Rothschild, is as interested in
animals In general as Charles is in these
parasites. His museums at xnring are
the greatest show places of the little
village, and he is constantly on the
hunt for new specimens. A few years
ago he decided to make an expedition
into Africa. The trip was one of danger
and many hardships. There were
camps in the desert, in the jungles and
on the sun-baked veldts. There were
the dangers of the hunt, but through it
all Walter Rothschild did not forget
the instructions he had carried with
him from his brother Charles:
"For goodness sake, save all the
fleas!"
And so, wh^n some strange beast fell
before the hunters* bullets their first
task was to get out chloroform bottles
and brushes and begin dipping up fleas.
Twenty or more would be taken from
the animal and placed in individual
bottles, labelled and packed carefully
away. From every animal killed by
the Walter Rothschild expedition were,
taken fleas for the brother who was J
waiting in England. There was Joy in
Thring when the expedition came
home. Fifty new varieties of fleas!
Rapture!
This eminent collector with his single
specialty is the envy of all other entomologists.
"He has the best of all the
rest of us," a New York entomologist
said regretfully the other day, "because
he has all the money he wants.
There are many insects we would like
to have, but we can't get them because
they would cost so much. That doesn't
bother Mr.. Rothschild. When he wants
something he gets it, no matter what
the cost may be.
"No, he doesn't bother much with
the other entomologists of Europe, except
when there is something he
wants," he continued. "He plays his
own game and we rarely hear of him,
except when he has made some big
purchase or when he fits out an expedition
like that Arctic one. A man can
collect a lot of bugs when he has the
money to pay for them."
When the world learned that Millionaire
Rothschild had sent an expedi"nn
Intn tho ArpfIc reclnnn for the flea
of the silver fox it decided he "mustI
need other sorts of fleas, too. And the'
generous world decided to help him.
Packages piled In by mail, others by
express, containing the animals upon
which the fleas lived. There were messengers
and letters by the hundreds,
and all bore on one subject?fleas. Men
were willing to collect fleas for a cent
apiece, and sent along samples to show
what they could do. Others had heard
of fleas in various parts of the world
that grew to the size of a man's hand,
and wanted to go out on expeditions
after them. Adventurers, soldiers of
fortune?all begged just for the chance
to sally forth and capture the wild and
ferocious parasite.
At last the British government intervened.
Knowing the possibilities for
the transmission of disease through
fleas, particularly leprosy, the grandees
of the general postofllce held a hurried
meeting and then anounced to the Hon.
Rothschild that until the influx was
over it would be necessary to fumigate
all letters and packages addressed to
him.
But that time has passed, and life
has become less eventful for Charles
Rothschild. He spends his days in

knowing- that when the various collec- |
tors who work for him find what he
needs they will send it to him, and that
he need not worry.?New York World.
Grizzly's Gr*at Strength.?It Is related
that a grizzly bear that had one
of its forepaws so shot as to render
it useless, employed the other to
draw its weight of 1,000 pounds up
an incline almost preclpltious, a seemingly
impossible feat.
A Californian asserts. Fur News declares,
that while in the mountains he
observed a big grizzly in the act of carrying
a dead cow home to her cubs.
From his position on the mountainside
the Californian could follow every
movement of the bear in the
sparsely timbered valley below. He
contends that the big beast carried
the cow in her foreDaws for a dis
tance of three miles, across jagged
rocks several feet In height, over fallen
logs around the rocky mountainside,
where even a mule could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up
the steep mountain.
This bear, it appears, stopped not
for a moment's rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her, and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The cow, it is reported,
weighed at least 200 pounds, while
the weight of the grizzly was about
450.

MANY ODD OCCUPATIONS.
Famous Old Trades Have Decayed,
While Others Prospered.
Now and then It happens that a trad
or profession comes before the public
which Is not otherwise often heard of.
The town crier's calling Is certainly
one of these, for It Is only In quiet
places that the old-time cry "Oyez!
Oyez!" is heard echoing In the streets
of some country town calling upon
habitants to listen In a way which
would be impossible In a stirring city
where the traffic was more noisy.
Now and then we hear of some tramp
or person of unknown abode who announces
some peculiar profession
Sometimes It is some calling: which is
merely an excuse for idleness or begging.
such as that of the tramp who
sold smoked glass to see eclipsec
through, but sometimes it is a more
constant occupation than the latter,
such as the man who gave his employment
as a manufacturer of wooder
seeds for making raspberry Jam or the
doll's eye maker.
Sometimes when a certain expert if
required it is no easy matter to find
such a one. Thus It is not easy to find
a man good at polishing mother-ofpearl,
and there are few who follow
this calling in this country. Anothei
instance of a dying profession is thai
of the country carrier, who In a handcart,
or perhaps a donkey cart built,
It may be, by himself, conveys parcelt
for a penny or two eacli to the nearesl
town or from one lonely farm or hamlet
tn nnnthflr a nrofesslon which Is he
coming rare in these days of motori
and other conveyances.
Some trades are slowly dying eithei
from competition or some other cause
Thus the wood gatherers who once
flourished in many midland counties
are now restricted to one or two, foi
aniline dyes have killed the old blue
dye used by our ancestors, though
wood is still eipployed to fix dye in one
or two fabrics.
Many trades are gradually becoming
more and more prosperous as othen
decay. Thus fifty years ago the collectors
of rare insects were few and
far between and no one would have expected
to build up an industry froir
the produce of their fad. But there are
now no fewer than three caterpillai
farms in this country whose whole produce
consists of rare caterpillars brec
for "the fancy," and this is said to be
decidedly a profitable employment, ai
collectors are becoming an ever growing
class.
The culture of snails In this country
Is also on the increase, and a gooc
number of persons In the west of England
find employment in gathering th<
snails, whose bodies are boiled foi
small soup; while yet another trad<
which has a future In this and othei
lands is that of the seaweed collector
a calling which until of late years wai
left to the poorest among the dwellen
upon the shore. But now sea-weed ii
coming to be more and more used foi
a variety of purposes, and the gathering
of seaweed Is regarded as an evei
growing field for enterprise.
It was always known that seaweet
contained a large quantity of iodine
but today it is used in the manufacture
of a certain kind of cloth, whih
certain species are eaten under th<
name of "dulse," "stoke" and "currageen."
Kelp is vurned seaweed ant
Devonshire seaweed is used for a larg<
number of purposes, therefore the seaweed
gatherers of today are in a better
position than ever before.?Londor

Look Before You J
While it is true that there are still
many people who buy Life Insurance
from an agent instead of a Company
and who sometimes find that tht
agent, either through ignorance 01
intentionally led them to believe that
his company and the contracts (policies)
were among the best. There
are thousands of others, and theii
tribe is increasing daily, who are influenced
almost entirely by the company
and its reputation FIRST and
the contract next. They look and
then leap, while the other class leaps
and then looks, and as a result, ofter
concludes that had it looked before
leaping it would not have leaped
No company has an all-round reputation
for squarer dealing with every
policy holder and of writing liberal
policies as has the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, of Newark,
N. J. No company is stronger. Look
Before You Leap! Test my assertions.
If you are not entirely satisfied that
they are true you are under no obligations
to buy.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS ^
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
ARCH 15TH, 1013, AT 6.00 P. M., SHARP.
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of *
e amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where It is desired to
scontlnue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may /
> so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a
bscriptlon has been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker
>wever may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrip>n
to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be
ade was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
oks.
No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscrip>n
price lias been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
ub.
In cases of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
me, preieience win ue given 10 me one wno pays ior me name FIRST; but
lere both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting i
e name for one year for each such payment. "
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permit1.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make
ch transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may seem
cessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who rerns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
mes already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if '
ere Is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This Is not
r the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
m petition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
ley Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofe.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
/e that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
em, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present
.stofltice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
e paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
mhlo nn<1 pnnfuslnn.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will *
allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1913, at 6 p. m.,
e price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
