FISK bt ATTORNEY AT LAW Office over City Drug Stn=a Why He Wanted References, At a credit men's dinner one of the veterans told this story: “In the recon- struction days a man from a Missis- sippi valley town came to our western house one day. We had sold him be- fore in a small way, and he always paid. He had enlarged his business, he told us, and wanted a bigger line than usual, but before making his se- lections he wanted us to give him ref- erences. “We expressed surprise at such an unheard of demand, but he said, ‘My two brother: -law have gone in with me, and they're very par- ticular as to whom they do business with” So we sent him to our banks, and he came back, said we were all right, picked out a big line of goods, and in sixty days he ‘busted” We couldn’t collect a dollar. Two years later I met the man in Cincinnati and told him we had become reconciled to our loss. ‘But will you please tell me,” I asked, ‘why did you want references as to our credit? ‘Well, you see,’ he answered, ‘I wanted to know if you could stand it’ ”—Ixchange, No Law’s Delay Here. In Perak, in the Malay peninsula, lawyers find no business, for a modi- fied form of trial by ordeal decides all disputes. In place of the legal practi- tioner the pleader is a native boy who is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given a bamboo tube in which is sealed the pleading of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes are driven into the bed of a stream, and by aid -of a bamboo pole the heads of the two boys are submerged at the same time. By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain under wa- ter for quite awhile after their natural inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives in and, releasing his hold of the stake, comes to the air. He is immediately seized. and the tube he holds is cast aside. The other lad is led ashore, his tube opened, and the document con- tained therein stands as the decision in the case. Scott Relics at Abbotsford. The present estate of Abbotsford was formed during the years 1811 to 1817 from various small farms, the first one purchased bearing the “inharmo- nious designation” Clarty Hole. After Sir Walter Scott's death in 1834 a com- mittee of friends collected £8,000 to- ward the redemption of the estate, and Mr. Cadell, the publisher, contributed the rest on receiving the rights over Scott’s works. The libra and mu- seum had been given some rs be- fore by the creditors. As his son, Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on his way home from India, the prop- erty descended to J. R. Lockhart, his son-in-law, and thence to his daugh- ter's husband, J. R. Hope-Scott, whose daughter held the estate for some years. Many Scott relics are preserv- ed in the house, notably his chair and writing table in the study and his hat and gloves in the hall.—L.ondon Stand- ard. Hard For the Eskimos. One of the difficulties of the Mora- vian missionaries in Labrador is to make the Old Testament, with its wealth of pastoral detail, intelligible to the Eskimos, not one of whom has ever seen a horse. “Sheep and cattle,” says Hesketh Pritchard in “Hunting Camps In Wood and Wilderness,” “they cannot realize or conceive of, for there are no domesticated animals save dogs in that portion of the penin- sula. They comprehend the story of Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson and the lion, which animal can be translated as polar bear, but of Abra- ham in the land of Mesopotamia they can form no picture. The nearest ap- proach to these ideas is drawn from the harvest of the sea, seals and fish taking tbe place of flocks and herds.” Mistletoe a Menace. Few people who know mistletoe only as a desirable feature of Christmas decorations understand that the plant is a parasite dangerous to the life of trees in the regions in which it grows. It is only a question of time after mistletoe once begins to grow upon a tree before the tree itself will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches. Fortunately it is of slow growth, taking years to de- velop to large proportions, but when neglected it invariably ruins all trees it reaches. The only method of exter- mination is the cutting down of dis- eased trees.—Exchange. Two of a Kind. “I told dat feller I was so flat broke 1 had to sleep outdoors,” said Plod- ding Pete. “Did it touch his heart?” asked Me- andering Mike. “No. He said he was doing the same thing an’ had to pay de doctor for tellin’ him what a blessin’ it was.”— Washington Star. His Kind. “I heard of a man once who was going to make money hand over fist when he was carried off.” “By death?” . “No; by the police. He was porch climbing.”—Baltimore American. He Was Slow. “I had not talked to him more than fifteen minutes when he called me an idiot.” “Gee! He didn’t violate any speed Himit In getting next, did he?’—Boston Post. Drying Her Tears. “What do you do when your wife cries?’ asked the younger man. “Do you have to give in to her?” “No.” said the older man. “Give her some money.”--Buffalo Express. Many Saloon Men Said to Have Been “Spotted” by Agents. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Dec. 21.—As a result of an investigation made by secret service officers of the Indian bureau it is alleged that many of the twenty-four licuor dealers in this city face arrest on charges of selling liquor to Indians At least four agents of the bureau have been investigating local conditions in the last few weeks, each of them remaining from five to fifteen days. Accompanying the agent,would be two Indians who would make the purchases, and a bottle of liquor would be bought which was afterward la- beled with the name of the seller; date of purchase and the conversation had at the time. MANY DESTITUTE IN CHICAGO Bread Line and Cheapest Lodging Places Well Patronized. Chicago, Dec. 21.—Despite the fact thdt the big retail stores report that more money is being spent this year for holiday goods than in any previ- ous year 1,000 men stood in line in a biting wind to obtain a tin cup of coffee and a roll each. It was the tenth night that Malcolm McDowell has had his coffee wagon out to feed the hungry unemployed. The municipal lodging house had| over 400 lodgers, a number far in ex- cess of the number of beds. Hogan's “flop,” a four-story build- ing where men may sleep on the bare floors for a nickel a night, had more than 1,300 guests. Eighteen Years for Bank Looter. Boston, Dec. 21.—Eighteen years in the state prison at Charlestown was the sentence passed upon William J. (Big Bill) Kelliher by the United States. district court for aiding and abetting Bookkeeper George W. Cole man in looting the National City bank of Cambridge. Queer Eyes of a Queer Spider. The attus family of spiders, abound- ing in Java, bave in addition to nu- merous smaller eyes a pair of large ones which have been called “gig lamp” eyes. A specimen of the spider. captured near Buitenzorg, exhibits a remarkable power of changing the col- or of its eyes, Wken taken the eyes were dark brown like the bedy, but suddenly they changed to bright grass green. Soon afterward they turned back from green to brown, and this change of color was repeated several times in succession, apparently at the will of the creature. Whether this ac- tion on the part of this curious spe- cles of spider is an effort to inspire terror in its enemy or whether it is an effect of its own terror is uncertain. Another singular fact is that the color of either one or hoth eyes could thus be changed at will.—Harper's Weekly.
