VOL. XXII, NO. 44. DARLINGTON, S. <J., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1895. WHOLE NUMBER 1,082. HEROIC ACT OF A SOCIETY GIRL nrarr* tha Sham* of a Patrol Wa*oo Rida to PIomo a Mttla Boy. Kim was not only herself a member of that aooiety which considers itself tntitled to a capital letter, but her fam ily had been members thereof in good and regular standing for at least three (jmerations. She was shopping on State street one bright midsummer morning vhw a crowd at Washington street at tracted her attention. Being curious, she investigated that crowd. She found in the center thereof a small boy sob bing bitterly under the guardianship of two big policemen. To her horror, she recognized in the small boy her cous in's little son. The little fellow had slipped and broken or sprained hia ankle. He knew where hejived, but be could not get Sells' Qreat Circus. j Every mounted policeman connected j ^ h ' 8 £ roat show exhibits in with the Central park -quad swears by i t ^ e larger towns and cities only, his horse. No other animal, in his opin- ! a n d visits Florence Tuesday, good, sound or well Nov. 5 and Sumter Wednesday’ V.,.. fi J 1 . S’ there ”.e policemen had sent for the patrol wagon, the only vehicle at their command, for the little sufferer. The child was in perfect agony at the prospect of being carried off in a patrol wagon by two policemen. The society girl interfered. She told the policemen this was her nephew. She told them where he lived. The address corre spond d tc that which the little fellow had Lni Vif given them. "I’ll get a cab and take him home,” said the society girl, a reasonable sug gestion enough, surely, bnt the police men would not hear to that. They had sent for the patrol wagon, and some one most have a ride in it. It was not to be ordered ont for nothing. They conld not let the chill go home in a cab. "We’ll take him where yon say he lives, lady, bnt he must go with us." The patrol wagon came. The child was almt A eonvnlsed with tenor, implored rne soci -ly girl not to let the policemen take him. The policemen were obdurate. Finally the society girl gave up "Well,” she said, “if he must go home in a patrol wagon, I’ll go home in it too.” So they lifted the small boy in, and the society girl climb ed in after him, and the policemen mounted guard on each side. And thus it happened the few society people who were by chance shopping on that midsummer morning instead of en joying the country breezes of the sum mer cottages were horrified at seeing a daughter of one of their first families rolling swiftly by in a patrol wagon under the charge of two stalwart police men. And others who were not society people wondered what "that nice, re- spe table looking girl” could have done that the police were taking her away. And they moralized on the deceptive- ness of appearances.—Chicago Tribnne. Hard Fifhtxn In Law. “Clienta lore a hard fighter, and the onlookers are impressed with his zeal," says Richard D. Doyle in an article on "Law and Lawyers" in The Southern Magazine. “In my own experience I have had cases where I advised my cli ents not to ana because I was snre they had no chance, and althongb they fol lowed my advice, instead of employing other counsel, they refused to pay a reasonable fee and in one case left me to pay the court costs. And I have sel dom advised a client to compromise or submit to arbitration that I did not dis please him. It requires moral courage to advise one against his inclinations, hut it is sometimes a lawyer's sacred duty. Whatever may be said as to its morality or true wisdom, yet I must •ay I regard this aggressive and partisan spirit more conducive to modern success than profonnd judgment, for I have seen lawyers succeed chiefly by reason of it in whom the logical faculty was not at all conspicuous. In speaking of success, it will be observed that I do not mean the eminence of such men as Er- skine, Wirt, Webster, William Pinckney, Rufus Ohoate and Charles O'Conor, but such success as is attained by the lead ing members of the bar in every town or city of the United Statee, who have a good practice, sometimes very lucra tive, though they are unknown to fame and forg'-tieu outside their neighborhood when aiy re gone." Slept Twenty Tears In a Cofla. It is seldom that a man dies in a cof fin, bnt that is exactly what old Barney Prickers of Alliance. O., did when he finally gave up the ghost in the fall of 1890. For more than 20 years old Bar ney bad been haunted with the idea that he was on toe verge of the grave. Ev ery evening be declared that be would never again see the sun rise. He con stantly brooded over bis queer halluci nation and never allowed himself to gq iou, is quite as trained f<r the ofttimes difficult work which they are called upon to perform. This pride in their horses has led to a friendly spirit of rivalry between the men, which is undoubtedly the cause of the excellence of the department. The stopping of a runaway in the drives or bridle paths is by no means an easy un dertaking. The comparatively few seri- ( ouh accidents resulting from runaways, which during the greater portion of the ; year average more than 60 a month, spesk well for the skill and daring of the mounted squad. Sergeant Egan, who has command of the squ 1, de clares that any one of bis men can give “p's” and “q's” to any cowboy that j ever straddled a horse. I "We have had ‘cow punchers’ in our ranks," said the sergeant, "who could pick up a handkerchief from the ground while riding at breakneck speed, or throw a lasso to perfection, but when it came to taking their lives in their hands in stopping a runaway they were , ‘not in it’ with some of onr New York boys who never mounted a horse until they joined the squad. I’ll warrant that any of my men will catch any runaway that ever started in the park. Would yon like to see our system of stopping i horses?” Baldwin was called in and the ser geant gave orders to have his horse sad dled. When all was in readiness, the two men rod lown the bridle path to give an illustration of the system winch jjg all the men have practiced and studied until they have it down to perfec tion. Set Egan halted and Bald- ; win, on bin noise Harry, went down the path to get a good start. In a moment he came flying toward the sergeant on a dead gallop. Egan’s horse pricked up his ears, already scenting the work ent ont for it. As Baldwin came nearer Egan's superb animal began to move with gradually increasing speed until the supposed runaway was alongside, and then it run neck and neck with ! Baldwin’s horse. Reaching out, the sergeant grasped the bridle of Baldwin's horse, and his own steed begun to poll back, coming j j to a complete standstill within ten yards. Several more trials were made, the men taking turns at stopping each other. "Yon see, they cannot get away from u;, ” said the sergeant, "as our horses understand their business os well as the men. They never allow a run away to get past them. A stem chase is often a long chase. Under the regu lations riders and drivers are allowed to move only at a certain speed within the park. A runaway of course always ex ceeds this pace, and the policeman’s horse detects the rapid patter of hoofs as quickly as hgdoes himself.”—New York Herald. Clothing- at Cost!

Hard in, one of the oldest Illi nois lawyers, tells of an instance where Mr. Lincoln was retained to assist two other lawyers in the conduct of a caw of the greatest importance. “I will not say now what the case was," said Mr. Hardin, “bnt it was one of the greatest moment to the state and of importance to the nation. The decision arrived at grows more stnpendons in its results every day. Even at the time of its set tlement those connected with it knew it meant a great deal, and the two men who had been his colleagues consulted together after the trial as to the amount of the fee to be charged. They decided that $5,000 was the least they could take and concluded to send their bill for that amount. But they waited for Mr. Lincoln and laid the case before him. They asked him what he thought they ought to charge. He pondered over the matter for a time and finally said he thought his share onght to be about $60. That was, he thought, pretty goo<l pay, considering that be had only given a little over a day to the case. "—Chi cago Timee-Herald. Webster'. Wit.
