Fear?d for tho Other Fellow.?There is an old gentleman in Philadelphia approaching the ninety mark, who still finds much zest in life. and. having retained all his faculties, he feels that a few of the physical disabilities of age are of small account. His nephew is a man of small tact, a fact which has always aroused the ire of the old man. A few weeks before the old gent's eighty-ninth birthday, this nephew, who had been overweighted with business care for years, started on a trip to Europe that was to consume a year. "I have come to say good-by." announced the nephew to the old man. "I am starting abroad, to be gone a year?perhaps longer. 1 thought I might never?well, you understand? I wanted to be sure to see you once more." Whereupon the old man leaned forward. fixing his nephew with his head-like eyes. "Bill," he said, impressively, "do you mean to tell me the doctor does not think you'll live to get back?" Distinguished Company.?Oliver W. Holmes was strolling on the beach one day when he began chatting with a little girl who was building pyramids of sand. His charm of personality had its customary effect and the child soon slipped her hand in his and walked with him. By and by the little one said she must return to her mother. "Good-by, my dear," said Mr. Holmes, "and when mother asks you where you have been, tell her that you have been walking on the beach with Oliver Wendell Holmes." The great name was absolutely unknown to the child, but she recognized the courtesy in the words of her stranger friend and was not to be outdone. His pleasant smile and bow acquired a quaint gravity as imitated by the child. She replied: "And when you go home and they ask you where you have been, tell them that you were walking on the Valuable Misinformation.?In the large dining room of the Hotel Marseilles hangs a large equestrian painting representing General Robert E. Lee. It is the mascot of the Huhgry club, which has its dinners at monthly intervals at this hotel and was painted by a member of the club. Recently a lady on the west side gave a bridge party at the hotel in aid of her pet charity. Among the players was a modern Mrs. Malaprop, a typical "climber" with considerably less education than cash. Consequently she was never backward with misinformation on most any subject that came up. During a cessation in the nlav. one of the ladies expressed ad miration of the picture and a desire to know whom it represented. It was Mrs. Malaprop's opportunity. "That, my dear," she assertively explained, "is General Marseilles, a noted Frenchman, for whom the hotel is named."?New York Times.

"Oh, very much indeed, sir, thank you!" replied the man heartily. "It was a splendid bird!" The squire gasped. "Wh-what's that?" "I say it was a fine bird, sir," the poor neighbor went on, "though I very nearly didn't get it at all." "How was that?" was the squire's natural question.

Now, I, being only a man. feel kind of insufficient to make her acquainted with everybody as quickly as I'd like to. So I'm goin' to depend on you women folks," he added, with a confiding smile at the members of the gentler sex present, "to make her feel at home among us, just as my first wife would if she was here today.

"You can't do nothing to me. even if you try." "Can't I?" yelled Jonah. "If you don't let her go this instant. I'll sic my whale on you!" And the bear never did stop running. Good Logic.?As part of a holiday treat, a little Lnglish boy was taken recently to St. Paul's cathedral. When he returned home some well-meaning persons proceeded to worry him as to what he had seen in the cathedral. "And did you see the tombs of all the brave soldiers?" was one question. "Yes." said Willie, with enthusiasm. "And isn't it tine to think of all the great deeds they did?" the wellmeaning person continued. "I s'pose so," Willie admitted grudgingly. "Hut on their tombstones it just said they'd defeated the French, an' they couldn't have defeated them very much 'cos they're all dead an' the French are still alive." <c Joseph Chamberlain was the guest of honor in an important city.

In 1889, the accent was all on the brother. Since then the accent has been on the law. The case of Donnelly vs. McArdle was btigun in 1891. The New York court of appeals has just handed down a final decision, says the New York World. The decision gives Donnelly what there is left of $48,000 after a long array of lawyers have dipped it for their services and expenses. It has cost Donnelly and McArdle half a million. One hundred lawyers have exhausted their legal stores over the case. Forty judges have sweated great drops of wisdom in poring over it. Two hundred and fifty witnesses have told the story from 250 points of view. Shots have been fired, lives embittered and reputations torn to shreds. Now the case is settled and Mr. Donnelly has money enough to begin some more litigation. But is it settled? The newspapers said it was settled six years ago, and most of them ran editorials about its taking seventeen years to determine a point of law. It is rumored both here and in Albany, where Mr. McArdle lives, that these brothers-inlaw do not like each other. If that is so, the case may soon come to light again, clothed in a nice, new legal dress. There are many ways to get rich. The best and safest way is to pick out rich parents some time before you think of being born. Another way, somewnai less mum, ?o ?.? ry a rich wife. A third?not to be recommended?is to marry the sister of an exceptionally clever man and ask your brother-in-law to act as your instructor on the subject of money-making. It was in 1880 that Patrick McArdle began to show Michael Donnelly how to get rich. They were partners then in the iron business in New York city. Both were considered wealthy, but Donnelly didn't know much about the latest tricks in business. One day McArdie had his brother-in-law sign some papers. It took the court Just seventeen years to find out what those papers meant. Since then the courts have spent six years debating whether they did find out what they meant. The papers looked like a bill of sale. They were a bill of sale with this difference?they were not a bill ?ll ??> HAnnulll/'c oi sale. iney gave an ?svn..^..j ~ interest in the iron business to McArdle?only they didn't. Donnelly said that he signed them relying on McArdle's assurance that they would be held only as security until some fi nancial troubles blew over. McArdle was showing him how to get rich. Then McArdle set out to show his brother-in-law how to stay rich. One good way to stay rich is to fire your partner out of the business. McArdle showed Donnelly how to do this by doing it. Instead of thanking McArdle for this simple demonstration, Donnelly went to see a lawyer. The case of Donnelly vs. McArdle was on. This was in 1891. Donelly sued for an accounting of the co-partnership and a distribution of the assets. The case came before Justice Barrett in special term, and Donnelly started to explain the transaction in which he and his brother-in-law had figured. ."Enough," said Justice Barrett before Donnelly had gone very far. "It seems to me that this co-partnership 1 * ? ..?l?...#?l nas Deen engugeu in an umumui witness and I shall not assist either party. I dismiss the action." Smith, Bowman & Closs, Donnelly's attorneys, refused to have anything more to do with the case. It is interesting to note that the prosecutor of Michael Donnelly in the magistrate's hearing subsequently became justice of the supreme court and signed the final order giving Donnelly his verdict. It was Bartow S. Weeks. As soon as Donnelly was acquitted he appealed his case against MeArdle and also made a motion to amend the judgment of dismissal. The appeal was never heard. The motion was denied. It does not look as though Donnelly had much of a case now does it? Wait a minute before answering. Donnelly went to anotner lawyer, Joseph H. Choate. Mr. Choate moved before Justice Barrett to reopen the case. In 1895, Justice Barrett reversed himself and granted the motion. McArdle appealed to the Appellate Division, but the order was affirmed. In 1S93. McArdle's lawyers moved to send the case to a referee. The motion was denied by Justice Werner and the second trip to the Appellate division was made. McArdle lost the appeal. Mr. Choate then became ambassador to England, and James. Schell & Elkus became Donnelly's attorneys. The trial of the case began before Justice Stover in 189S. It had taken Donnelly seven years to get into court. The next October, Justice Stover decided the case in favor of McArdle. Col. James appealed to the Appellate division in behalf of Donnelly. Then Col. James died and Joseph F. Daly became Donnelly's attorney. The case was young yet. The Appellate division reversed Justice Stover and ordered a new trial. The next trial occurred before Justice MacLean. with Osborne & Hess as attorneys for Donnelly. After giving the matter due consideration, Justice MacLean found as follows: "Dignified or classified or magnified by any names, the business of Mr. Donnelly & Co., was dealing in junk, effects nondescript, saving the truism 'junk is junk' aptly to be known, were the term translative as articles of occasion, more multifarious than the merchandise of a department store, but a business conducted very differently in ways many." That is not all that Mr. Donnelly learned by sixteen years of litigation. 'Tnmarketed junk," this distinguished jurist ruled, "is not closed out with the season. Much of it goes to the junk man's place, because else it can go no whither, save to the waste gatherer, whose dumps are not a despised provision." Mr. Donnelly himself was convinced by this time that junk was junk. What the law is he refused to say. Hut inasmuch as Justice MacLean followed up his findings by giving judgment to the defendant.

The ilhbir.:t!r.n shows Senat in the center and Senor Cuadra at th pealed to the Appellate division again and had this decision reversed. The case came up for a new trial this time before Justice Seabury. Donnelly won. Justice Stover had found that the instrument given by Donnelly to McArdle was an absolute bill of sale. r"1? * A ItMoinn fniirul that it I lit? Appruaic umoiuii ?v?..v. ...? .. was not. Justice MacLean, "with all deference to the deductions of that learned tribunal." found that it was. Justice Seabury found exactly contrary to the findings of Justice MacLean and Justice Stover. He found that the instrument was not a bill of sale, that there was a partnership between Donnelly and McArdle, that the firm was solvent and that Donnelly was entitled to an accounting. As this was in harmony with the view of the superior court, it was generally thought that the case was settled. But no, it had to go to a referee for the accounting. The status of the junk business for seventeen years before had to be determined. It was a business so intricate and so full of finest ionable transactions that the courts at the time had refused to attempt an adjustment. Official Referee Gildersleeve had what the eminent jurists might call "job some" on his hands. But the referee got through his work at last, and in 1911, a judgment was found in favor of Michael Donnelly. Justice Gerard confirmed the Judgment. That is the judgment which has just been sustained by the court of appeals after being upheld in the Appellate division. The battle before the highest court was a big one, Judge Joseph F. Daly, A. B. Schleimer and Osborne, Lamb & Garvin fighting for Donnnelly and another army of legal giants lining up for MeArdle. On the merits of the case? But what's the use? When two determined brothers-in-law get into litigation. what have the merits to do with the case? While the judges have been bowling each other over and discovering that junk is junk, McArdle has been getting poor anu Donnelly has been getting poor. Each has been getting angrier every year. In the words of Counsellor Kenge in Dickens's narrative of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, "We are a great country. Mr. Jarndyce, we are a very great country. This is a great system, Mr. Jarndyce, and would you wish a great country to have a little system? Now, really, really!" The Ultimate Triumph.?The most dramatic day of the Sixty-third congress was when Champ Clark, the speaker of the house, took the lloor for his famous speech explaining why he opposed President Wilson's policy of repealing the Panama canal tolls exemption law. Clark was on the losing side, and everybody knew that the vote would certainly uphold the president, says the Popular Magazine. While the speaker was delivering his remarks in his vibrant, booming voice, Representative Tom Heflin of Alabama walked through the Democratic cloak room. Even there the thunder of Clark's voice was audible. Hellin stopped, laughed and said: "That reminds me of an old negro down in my state. He was working out in the middle of a field on a hot summer day. It was so hot that the heat seemed to be simmering visibly wherever you looked. After a while the midday train rushed by about half a mile away, whistling for a crossing and roaring and thundering as it went. "The old man watched it go by, took hold of his hoe, and stooped over his work once more. Then he said, talking to himself: "'Boom! Bing! Boom! Bing! But I'se gwine ride you nex' Sadday night.'"

The Emerald Isle is sans snakes but not sans the "wee folk," for the sturdy citizens of Donegal yet will relate the doings of the sprites who reward good and punish evil with quite as much avidity as they did hundreds of years ago. The little folks, whom the more stolid Britishers insist are but creatures of Celtic imagination, are peculiar elves. Few there are who have seen them, and the few have done so only when the moon was in the right phase or on some holiday in the elfdom when, the legend goes, the fairies are visible to mortal eyes and even may be captured if you but snip their shadows. "Auld sod" Irish?many of them? are firm in the faith that the "wee folk" forecast joys and sorrows and that they keep away the wicked banshee and otherwise protect the household of their favorites. When Michael McFaul, a farmer of Clonmany, County of Donegal, missed recently from its hiding place some $1,500 he had saved as a preliminary to embarking upon the sea of matrimony, he never once ' doubted but that the incident was a warning from "wee folk" that they did not look kindly upon his suit. The police, however, were less inclined to the theory of elfish warning and when a young woman employed at the MoVnni household tried in a neigh boring village to cash some large bank notes, she was arrested and convicted of the theft. The McPauls refuse to accept the loss in other than a philanthropic mood and still believe the little folks of the wood chose that manner of expressing disapproval of a marriage which would bring no happiness to the family. j SUNSET ON THE NILE Rowers Chant Weirdly as They Tug at Oars. As we sat on the deck, beneath the minaret of the mosque, the skies slowly turned from orange to lilac and purple of night, throwing a strange pink light over the city's buildings, writes Archie Bell, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The minosa trees and date palms became black and great white cranes, seemingly knowing that their wings had an appropriate background, circles over our heads, over the deep azure river and over the many white-sailed dohabeahs that were tloating along in the breezeless night, propelled by rowers I who were chanting weirdly as they I tugged at the oars. I Dimlv. we could see the black draped figures of numberless women approach the river's brink and we know that the splashes In the water were caused by the dropping of their heavy jugs, which they twirl around till they are filled, after which they raise them laboriously to their heads and then skip up the banks and disappear in the darkness of the night. I The sounds of the city ceased and ail was quiet. All but the plaintive lay of the piper who must have been somewhere not far off on the bank of the river. It seemed that he was playing the love song of Larbi of HeniMora. It was monotonous and drowsy and invoked sleep. In the morning before dawn I heard the boys pulling the stake near my window. I had fallen asleep to native music, and now I was awakened by their song. ah we started up the river, the clarion call of the muezzin rang out from the minaret. For good Mohammedans it means that a new day had begun?but for infidel Americans, there were several additional hours of sleep.

Miller, the then actuary or mathematician of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, worked out a plan by which holders of life policies?policies the face of which, or the principal sum?are ouyl payable at death or age of 96?could convert them into Endowments, which means that the face would be paid either at death or at a gradually decreasing age. For example, in 1900 a policy for $10,000 on the ordinary life plan, was issued to a man k0 years of age. When issued, the company agreed to pay the $10,000 at death or age 96. The holder of the policy now has a written guarantee from the company that if he lives to be 6S, he can stop paying premium.-, ami take a paid up policy for the full $10,000. or if he lives to be 73, the company will pay him $10,116. Another man who took out $10,000 on the 20-pay life plan in 1000, now has , a guarantee that he can have a paid J up policy for $10,000 at the age of ; .76, or 16 years from date of issue, or receive $10,043 at the age of 67. All men who believe in Daniel Boone's doctrine of the wisdom of "catching i the coon agoing or coming," should i ask for particulars as to how the plan works. It can be applied to old ! policies as well as new. Ask to be ( shown. It is the ideal contract for the man or woman who wants to pro- , tect dependents while they are de pendents and themselves should they live to lie old. SAM M. (illlST, Special Agent.
