A FAITHLESS LAWYER
iGivery year a large number of poor
sufferers whose lungs are sore and
racked with coughs are urged to go to
another climate. But this is costly and
tiot always sure. Don’t- be an exile
when Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Accepted a Retaining lra|e and Then
Played His Client False.
A lawyer tells liow he once played.a
Client false. “I shall have to make a
lawyer out of that boy . of mine. I
don’t see any other way out of it,” de
clared the well known attorney, with a
laugh. “He came into my office on his
^svayhome from school and laid a nick
el down on the desk before me. ‘What
is this for, son ?’ I asked. ‘Retainer,’ he
answered soberly. ‘Very well,’ said I,
entering into the joke. ‘What have I
been retained upon?’ My boy dug down
into his pocket and produced a note
from his teacher and placed it before
me without comment. It was to the
effect that he had been ‘cutting up’ and
advisedm whipping. ‘Now, what would
you advise?’ asked he in a businesslike
voice after I had read the note and
saw the trap that young rascal led me
into. ‘I think that our first move should
be to apply for a change of venue,’
said I. ‘Very well,’ he answered.
‘You’re handling the case.’ ‘Then we
will turn the note over to your mother/
said I. I saw the young imp’s face fab l
at this, but he braced up and said, j
‘See here, pop, you’re bound to see me j
through on this, ’cause you’ve accepted,
my retainer, you know!’ ‘I’ll argue
your case before the court,’ I answered,
‘but you’ll have to accept the decision.
I would not dare to attempt to influ
ence the court.’ Well, I pleaded the
boy’s case, promptly had it thrown out
of court, and the boy got what he de
served, a good whipping. It was the
first time I ever played false to #~
client.”—Detroit Free Press.

many years rebelled against, the
growing use of the term ‘‘journal

The Sea. Trout.
The gamest of salt water fish, after
the striped bass, is the Weakfish, or sea
trout. The sport of angling for them
is generally enhanced because, feeding
as they* generally do near the surface,
it is possible to fish for them with light
tackle. The best places to find them
in the vicinity of New York are Ja
maica bay, the southwestern shore of
Staten Island and the mouth of the
Shrewsbury river. While they have
been caught weighing upward of twen
ty pounds, a six or ten pounder is a
good size, and the average will only
run from one to two and a half. There

A Gluttonous Boy.
A merchant died at Ispahan in the
earlier part of last century who had
for many years denied himself and his
son every support except a crust of
coarse bread. On a certain occasion
he was overtempted to buy a piece of
cheese; but, reproaching himself with
extravagance, he put the cheese into
a bottle and contented himself ami
obliged the boy to do the same, with
rubbing the crust against the bottle,
enjoying the cheese- in imagination.
One day, returning home later than
usual, the merchant found his son eat
ing his crust, which he constantly rub
bed against the door.
“What are you about, you fool?” was
his exclamation. “It is dinner time,
father. You have the key; so, as I
could not open the door, I was rub
bing my bread against it, as I could
not get to the bottle.” “Cannot you go

has advanced in the cities until now it
occurs at any time between noon and
midnight. And that reminds us, says
the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of
one of the many stories about Colonel
Davy Crockett. While he was a mem
ber of congress and was at his home in
Tennessee some one asked him about
the dinner hour in Washington. He
said the common people ate dinner at
12, the next above them at 1,' the mer
chants at 2, the representatives at 3,
the senators at 4, members of the cabi
net at 5 and the vice president at 6,
“But when does the president dine?”
“What! Old Hickory?” said Crockett,
anxious to fix a time that would suit
his idea of Jackson’s greatness. “Well,
he don’t eat till next day!”

Kind Words Mean Much,
Cultivate kindness of heart, think
well of your fellow men, look with
charity upon the shortcomings in their
lives. Do a good turn for them as
opportunity offers, and, finally, don’t
forget the kind word at the right
"time. How much a word of kindness,
-encouragement or appreciation means
to others sometimes and how little it
-costs us to give it!
We do not need to wait for some
special occasion. When calamity over
takes a friend, words of sympathy and
encouragement are offered sincerely
enough, yet in certain respects, as a
matter of course. Such an occasion
calls for; expression on our part, and
we naturally respond. But why wait
for occasion? Why not speak the kind
word when there is no special occa
sion?—Philadelphia Ledger.
Women In Paris Streets.
It is quite a feature of Paris to see
streams of open carriages, private and
hired, taking folks for an after dinner
drive along the grand boulevards,
which are thronged with promenaders
and groups of people sitting outside
cafes talking. Now and again a car
riage will stop to deposit its burden in
front of a cafe and return later, either
to this or another to which its occu
pants have migrated.
With her husband a Frenchwoman
may go anywhere, and it is quite cus
tomary for the very nicest French
women to take coffee in the open air
outside a cafe and make this a pleas
ant meeting place for friends.—Ex

One person in every four has a weak heart.
Unless promptly treated a weak heart will
easily become-a diseased heart. Alittle extra
strain from any cause is sufficient to bring on
this deadly malady, the most common cause
of sudden death. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure will
tone up the heart’s action, enrich the blood
and improve the circulation.

finding a treasured old cup cracked by
a careless maid, “I know of nothing to

a handsome piece of old china.” “Sure

as losing one’s children.” “Yes, it is,
for when your children die you do
