' ACCEPTED HIS ADVICE.
Then the Tailor Was Sorry He Tackled
the Lawyer.
'Die young lawyer had waited
many days for clients, and still
they did not eoine. His lulls were
mounting higher and higher, and,
> sad to say, some of his creditors
were becoming impatient. At this
very minute his tailor, whom he
owed for his last winter's overcoat,
was pitting beside his desk uttering
all sorts of dire threats.
"I'll pay you when I can," he
said.
"Well, that doesn't satisfy me,"
the tailor. "What would
^^pSr>(?<>n. do you think, if I were to
?^Rake this matter to the courts and
sue you ?"
"You'd get judgment, of course,"
said the young lawver.
kVThen, in your opinion, you

ailo^-p

ery well, then, I shall proceed j

certainly advise you to," said
the lawyer, with a gleam in his eye. i
"I shall most certainly accept
your advice," retorted the tailor
?li..
IMrcapuiiiin.
"Good!" said the lawyer. "What ,
is the amount of your bill?"
"Sixty-eight dollars and fifty
eents." said the tailor.
"All right," said the lawyer.
"Hand over six fifty, please."
"Six fiftv!" said the tailor, j
"What for?"
"You have just consulted me in
the matter of a suit at law and
have stated that you accept my ad- 1
vice. My charge for that is $75,
and the six fifty is the difference
between your bill and mine," said '
the lawyer. "If I don't hear from
ymi by noon tomorrow I shall put
matter in the hands of my at- '
tomeys. Good morning, sir!"
And the tailor went out, marvelling
much that so ingenious a
young gentleman should be a member
of the great army of the unemployed.?II
a rpe r's W ee k ly.
Advance Knowledge.
The disadvantage of too much
knowledge in advance in his auditors
was experienced by that uni- |
versify preacher of whom all have
read. Knowing the lesson which
he would read, irreverent undergraduates
pasted together the pages
of the Bible which he would open.
The result was that he read aloud,
t "When Noah was au hundred and
^^Twenty years old he took unto him a
Ml wife who was"?and here he turned
r Over?"one hundred and forty cubits
long, forty cubits wide, but of
gopher wood and covered with pitch
inside and out." Naturally the dear I
old gentleman was puzzled. "This
is the first time I have noticed this
in the Bible, but I accept it as an j
evidence that we are fearfully and
wonderfully made," was his mild
comment.
Making It Worth While.
There was a man who dropped a
peony down a crack in a board walk,
iwith a wire and a stick he tried to
recover the penny for a long time.
Then, shaking has head sadly, he
went home. But the next morning
lUe returned early to the spot, ana
be waa bending over the crack with
a quarter in his hand when a friend
happened along and said:
"Hello, Joe! What are you doing
there?"
"Well, I'll tell you," said the i
-11 C\7 T /IvAnna^ a
OVUrr JL nsin uaj JL U? ? >
penny down this crack. Now, I rea-1
eoned that it wasn't worth while to :
pull up four or five boards to find
a penny, but last night in bed an
idea struck roe, and I'm going to
drop a quarter down to make it I
worth my while."
The Satisfaction.
"I sent you an account of ?5 for
collection," said a man, coming into
the office of a lawyer.
"Ye6, you did."
"What euccess have you had ?"
"Sued him last week and got it."
"That's good. Give me the money,
and tell me the amount of your
fees end I will pay you."
'"iky fees are ?10. I have given
you credit for the ?5 collected. Pay
me another ?5, and we'll be square.
"What?" gasped the man. "I
don't see where I make anything by
collecting tbe debt."
"Notbmg, my dear sir, from a j
money point of view, but you nave
the satisfaction of knowing that a j
dishonest man has been brought to j
Justice."?London Express.
Hp Libels en Dogs.
P / 'After all, man doe6 not remember J
?he dog's good qualities as he!
should. Look at the similes he j
wees?"you lying hound/' "mean as
a hound dog/' "dog'' and 'low j
down cur." Man hardly can think i
of a lower name than one connected
with dogs. And in horse racing
the worthless ones are called
"dogs." It seems a little ungrateful
when one remembers all that a
dog will bear from a man and still
love him.

Mutual Dislike.
Brahms and Tschaikowsky, the
famous musicians, met but twice.
On tlie last occasion Brahms was
sufficiently interested in Tsehaikowsky's
fifth symphony to travel
expressly to Hamburg in order to
make its acquaintance. After the
performance the distinguished composers
dined together, and the conscientious
Brahms frankly admitted
that he did not like the work
at all, whereupon the usually meek
Russian plucked up sufficient courage
to inform his host that the dislike
of each other's music was mutual.
They parted on excellent
terms nevertheless.
An Introduction.
''Long introductions when a man
has a speech to make are a bore,"
said former Senator John C. Spooner.
"1 have had all kinds, but the
most satisfactory one in mv career
was that of a German inavor of a
i ~
fnian iowii in iny muif, ?? jh'uumjj.
1 wa? to make a political address,
and the opera house was crowded.
When it came time to begin the
mayor got up. 'Mine friends,' he
said, 'I haf asked been to introduce
Senator Spooner, who is to make a
speech, yes. Veil, I haf dit so, und
he rill now do so.'"
Foley's Orino Laxative is a new
remedy, an improvement on the laxatives
of former years, as it does
not gripe or nauseate and is pleasant
to take. It is guaranteed.
