FOR SELLING CIGARETTES TO MINOR, D. N. FOWLER AND H. M AR. LEY INDICTED A Sensational Tilt Between the Attorneys Engaged in the Case D N Fowler and Herbe. * Mur ley must answer at thc next term of the circuit court for selling cigarettes to a minor. The case was sent up last Thursday by Magistrate C D Easterling. Thc prosecutor was A 0 Gilchrist, whoso son, Henly Gilchrist, 10 years old, bought the cirgaettes at Mr. Fowler's store. Marley was implicated because he was said to have stood for thc payment of young Gilchrist's account at Fowl er's. It seems that Henly Gilchrist was werking for Marley, a yening man employed by tho Hell tele phone company. Marley held back eight dollars of Ilenly's sal ary, claiming that he had stood for that amount at Fowler's. A O Gilchrist tried te collect the sal ly due his son, but was also told that Marley would not pay till the account at Fowler's was paid. Mr. Gilchrist, got a bill from Mr. Fowler for thc account, and found on it a number of items for cigar ettes. Ile then consulted J Iv Owens, an attorney, and the action was brought for violating thc sta tute which forbids the selling of cigarettes to boys under IS. 11 only Gilchrist said in his testi mony that he had bought cigar ettes from others besides Fowler, and that lu4 could buy them any where I hey wore sold. ,) W LeGrand represented Fo vi er and Marley. This was only a preliminary, and the defense did not testify. Below is the law on the sub ject. "lt, shall not be lawful for any person or persons, either by him self or themselves, lo sell, furnish, giyO, or pr?vido any minor or minors, under the age of is years, with cigarettes, tobacco or cigar otto paper, or any substituto there for". "Any person or persons \ie'o lating the provisions of thc pre ceding section, either in person, by agent , or in any other way, shall be held and deemed guilty of a misdeanor, and upon indictment, and conviction therefor shall be punished by a (?ne noi exceeding one hundred dollars, nor less than twenty-live do)lars,or by imprison ment for a term of not more than one year, nor less than two months, or both, in tho discretion of the co irt, one-half of the lino imposed to be paid to informer of the of fense, and the other half tobe paid to thc treasurer of the county in which such conviction shall bc had." LAWYERS SAY UNPLEASANT THINGS There was quite a sensational incident during the progress of the trial, in w hich it looked, for a time, that lhere might bo a person al difficulty between tho two attor neys engaged in the east'. Mr. LeGrand was cross ox?min ing young Gilchrist,' when the lat ter said in answer to a question, "That is not in thc case is it '." Mr. LeGrand demanded that he answer tho question, when Mr. Owens arose and said that he thought the witness was honestly seeking information and did not intend any disrespect. Mr. LeGrand, addressing Mr. Owens, said, "Von know yourself thut that is not so." "If I were out of court", replied Mr. Owens, "I weilld call that by its proper linnie". "Say it now", said Mr. Lc Grand. "I would if I ucn-out of court", replieiI Mr. ( hvens, "If w o were out of court you would catch something, foo", re plied Mr. LcGrand, M r. ( hVons I hen saul : "If you nay that 1 knew what I was saying was not true, then you falsify". M iv LcGrand replied, I will sec about that when wo get outside". This ended the incident for the time being. After tho conclusion ol' tho testimony, Mr Owens, in begin ing his speech,said that ho regretted that things had been injected in the case which did not belong there, among which was charging an at torney that ho was saying some thing which he knew was not true. He said that he knew of hut ono way to answer such a charge, and he would give that answer as long as there was breath left in his body. Ile then proceeded to ar gue the merits of the ease. After tho conclusion of Mr. Owens' argument, Mr. LcGrand arose and said that none could treat tho court with more respect than he; that he had never before received even thc semblance of a challenge, and that he was ready to meet it on the outside. uMy first remark to thc gentleman on thc other side", he said, "was in tended to be jocular". Mr. Owens quickly arose and said: "Then 1 beg your pardon. I thought you were in earnest". "It is granted," replied Mr. Lc Grand. After the trial was over, tho two shook hands, and the incident was ended. Tain anywhere stopped in 20 minutes ?ure with ono of Dr. Shoop'8 Pink Pain Tablets. The formula is oil thc 25-ccnt box.

Thc famo of Daniel Lnmbert ns a rhamplon muong fut men In England, If not In the world, Btlll remains un rivaled. Daniel waa born at Leicester in 1770 nnd died In 1800 nt Stamford. The grandson of n celebrated cock-1 fighter and addicted to ?port through out bis life, bis dimensions were not extraordinary, and bis habits were not different from those of other lads un til he wai fourteen years old. When twenty-three years of age, however, ho turned the scale nt thirty-two stone, and, although be is recorded to have heeu then able to walk from Woolwich to London, nt the time of his deaAh, In his fortieth yenr, ht had attained tin] prodigious weight of fifty-two stone, o? 728 pounds, and was more or less help less. Ile was a modest mau, and wher he had achieved physical greatness fame was thruRt upon him. He was for a long time unwilling to be made a shew of, but he gained a more than local reputation, and people traveled from far to see bim, resorting to vari ous devices in order to be allowed tpl do so. At length the prospect of prolu^ overcame his resolution, and for four years before bis death he exhibited himself in London and in the prov inces. ^ Ho was apparently n man of some wit, for once, before ho permitted the public to gaze upon him, an inquisitivo person had gained access to his pres ence by protending to be a fellow sportsman Interested In thc pedigree of a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly replied, "She was bred by Impertinence out of Curiosity." Before tho days of Daniel Lambert. Edward ?right of Malden was a well known fat man, al though bis name no longer lingers as a household word. Ile died in 1750 at tlie ugo of thirty years, weighing forty two stone and seven pounds, and ls stated to have been on activo man till a year or two before his death, when his corpulency so overpowered, hie Strength that his lifo was a burden and his death n deliverance. Both Bright and Lambert seem to have been genial, good humored fellows and very popular among those who visited them. In deed popularity seems to be the lot ot the corpulent in fact as well as in flo. lion. Tho heroes of fiction, however, have the advantage in the matter of lasting glory, and tho names of Danie/iS Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham Bink into insignificance beside those of Falstaff and the fat boy in "Pickwick." -London Standard.

Sir Frederick wan to respond to the toast, "Applied Science." It was long after midnight when the ton-.it was pro* posed, and several speakers were sttli to be called. Hising in bis place, th? scientist said: "At this hour of the night, or, rather, of the morning, my only Interest In ap plied science is to apply fiio tip of the match to the side of the box upon which alone lt ignites and to apply th? flame so obtained to the wick of a bed room candle."
