An appeal case from South Carolina that is of more than ordinary interest has been carried up to the United States circuit court of appeals now sitting at Richmond, Va. The case is against iuaA ^uucu wuw wao a merchant at Florence, S. C., and failed and went into voluntary bankruptcy in the fall of 1906. There appeared to be a heavy shrinkage in his assets and he was prosecuted for concealing from his trustees in bankruptcy $5,000 in goods and money and tried and convicted in the United States district court for the district of South Carolina. Cohen has appealed to the circuit court of appeals and the appeal will be heard this week at Richmond. Cohen has numerous grounds of appeal but his main ground is that the district judge allowed the schedules of his debts and assets which he filed in bankruptcy to be admitted against him on this criminal charge. Cohen is the fourth person indicted in this state under the present bankruptcy act and the third to be convicted. xne steeping ot-autj. Frederick W. Lehman, the new prsident of the American Bar Association, was discussing at a dinner in St. Louis a case where some of the evidence had not been above suspicion. "Well," he said "there were certainly flaws in this evidence?teminological inexactness, so to speak. It reminded me of the girl in the hammock. "A pretty girl in a hammock slung in an apple orchard awoke suddenly and frowned at the young man who stood before her. " "You stole a kiss while I was asleep.' she exclaimed. " 'Well stammered the young man, 'you were sleeping so soundly?you looked so pretty, so tempting, I? yes, I admit I did take one little one.' "The girl smiled scornfully. "'One!' said she.

An Army Officer's Experience With an Indian at Western Fort. - ?-?iJ in., i. "Me says ne wouiu use iu uauc with you for your wife!"?it came out at last. It was a startling proposition indeed. For a moment we were both too breathless to comment. Finally my husband, yielded to his impulse for amusement and smiling at me he replied: "Ask him what he will give for her." "He says six ponies, lieutenant." "Oh. tell him she is worth lots more than that." "He will give you twelve ponies for her." My husband again replied that he would not trade for any thing like that; so the Indian kept raising his bid. He offered twenty ponies; then twenty ponies and a squaw; and finally twenty ponies, a squaw and a papoose. At length, wearying of the nonsense, my husband nodded his dismissal of the subject. But the Indian seemed to think that the apparent holding out for a higher price constituted a trade when the final offer was not rejected. He appeared satisfied, but soon signified he wished to finish the bargain. Of course, my husband immediately objected. My savage admirer continued unaccountably insistent; and amicably to rid himself of the Indian's importunity my husband told him I was not fit for more travel; that I needed to go to rest at once. Accordingly I entered our tent. The Indian was not content, and continued, with some of his companions, to hang around the camp up .1 one of the men told them they irast now return to their camp, as we were all going to retire. When they had reluctantly departed my husband laughingly told the lieutenant, who had not been present during the parleying, of the incident. The latter looked grave, and expressed a fear that the Indian, in the belief that he had made a trade, might cause trouble when the bargain was not kept. My husband assured him there was no agreement, and that the buck had no basis for such a claim. The lieutenant explained that the failure to reject the last bid and the presence of witnesses to the price haggling was all that the Indian considered necessary to make a binding affair of heart and honor. Of course, terms had to be reached and my husband, for the only time in his experience with the red men, or as far as I know with any man, agreed to compromise. He bought them off, and appeased their disappointment by a gift of good, hard money and a lot of tobacco.?Army and Navy Life.
