Judge Bobbs is one of. those men who have attained a standing m their pro­ fession that permits them to admit faults in their earlier career without Impairing their present standing as able lawyers. { "I once had an experience while coming west on a train from New York that I'll never forget," tells the Judge. "After three other gentlemen and my­ self had played whist for a couple of hours, we fell to discussing numerous subjects of current interest. One of our number seemed to be absorbed in his own meditations and contributed but little to the conversation. Finally, as pertinent to a subject under consid­ eration, lie propounded a somewhat complex problem in law and turned to me for an answer, for I had not neg­ lected to make known my calling. '•Not being able to furnish him with a solution, I foolishly sought to cover my ignorance by a resort to dignity aiid a pretended regard for professional ethics. 'This is not the time or place for transacting legal business,' said I. 'The question you submit is a very im­ portant one'--I went on, with the sol­ emnity of an owl and about the same degree of wisdom. 'I would be glad to give you the benefit of my opinion and advice at my office and after re­ ceiving a retainer.' With that I hand­ ed him my card, on which appeared the fact that I was an attorney and coun­ selor-® t-law, notary public, member of a sure-thing collection agency, real es­ tate operator, Circuit Court ^commis- sioner, and life insurance man. "He looked at the thing in an amused i way, reached into his pocket, handed me a half dollar with the remark that he had nothing smaller, and repeated his law question. While I was ar­ ranging to thrash him one ol' the other me'11 whispered to me that it was Rufus Choate. I sneaked into the smoker, pulled my cap over my face, and never removed it till I reached the home depot."--Detroit Free Press. THE OLD HOMESTEAD. Its worn-out acres fallow lie, Unpruned the orchard stands For they who tended them long since Have gone to other lands-- One to the prairies of the west, And one across the sea; The rest have reached that blest country Where partings may not be. The elm houghs tap the skylight dim As, in the days agone, They tapped to waken merrily \ The little folk at dawn. The woodbine curtains tenderly The shattered window pane, Yet grants admittance to its friends, The sunshine and the rain. No step, no whisper, breaks-the hush But hist! A sweep of wings Athwart the attic's dreaming dusk, And tender twitterings'. A tenant for the empty nest? Spe--from the window ledge . s A phoebe bird calls to its mate • \ Upon the cradle's edge! Andnn the cradle, vacant long, Four downy fledgelings peep And cuddle close. They'll dream of wings And twitter in their sleep [\ All through the "quiet summer night; While on the dingy wall Flit, silently the tliin, weird shapes That come at moonlight's call., O life and love that were of yore! . O sad old house bereft!. To thee but memory's treasured. st«ce . And the little birds are left.

The following case was printed origin­ ally in the Monitor, published at Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as to its truthfulness, consequently a close watch was kept for two years and the original statement has now been completely veri­ fied. Mr. Fetch had been a hopeless paraly­ tic for five years. His. case has had wide attention. He was confined, to his bed, was bloated almost beyond recognition, and could not take solid food. Doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life Association, after a thorough examination, paid him his total disability claim of $1,050, regarding him incurable. For three years he lingered in this con­ dition.

This extended, followed by a pricking sensation, until at last the blood began to course freely and vigor­ ously through his body. Soon he was re­ stored to his old-time health. A reporter for the Monitor recently called on Mr. Petch again and was told: "You may say there is 110 doubt as to my cure being permanent. I am in better health than when I gave you the first interview and certainly attribute my cure to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo­ ple. "To these pills I owe my release from the living death, and I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them." In the face of such testimony, can any­ one say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of every sufferer--man, woman or child? Is not the case, in truth, a miracle of modern medicine? These pills are sold by all druggists and considered by them to be one of the most valuable remedial agents known to science. D EWEY AS A DISCIPLINARIAN. STRONG STATEMENTS. ' Three Women Relieved of Female Troubles by Mrs. Pinkham. From Mrs. A. W. SMITH, 59 Summer St., Biddeford, Me.: » •" For several years I suffered with various diseases peculiar to my sex. Was troubled with a burning sensation across the small of my back, that all- gone feeling, was despondent, fretfjj^ and discouraged; the least exertion tired me. I tried several doctors but received little benefit. At last I de­ cided to give your L3Tdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef­ fect of the first bottle was magical. Those symptoms of weakness that I was afflicted with, vanished like vapor before the sun. I cannot speak too highly of your valuable remedy. It is truly a boon to woman." From Mrs. M KLISSA P HILLIPS, .Lex­ ington, Ind., to Mrs. Pinkham: "Before I began taking your medicine I had suffered fat? A wo years with that tired feeling, headache, backache, no ap­ petite, and a run-down condition of the system. I could not walk across the room. I have taken four bottles of the Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver Pills and used one package of Sanative Wash, and now feel like a new woman, and am able to do my work." From Mrs. M OLLIS E. H ERREL, Pow­ ell Station, Tenn.: "For three years I suffered with such a weakness of the back, I could not perforin my household duties. I also had falling of the womb, terrible bciar- ing-downs>p ains and headache. I have taken two bottles of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound and feel like a new woman. I recommend your medicine to every woman I know." His Method of Subduing ^'onie Refrac­ tory Hailora. "I was with Commodore Dewey when lie WSS~tlie executive officer of the Col­ orado," said-a financier, "and I remem­ ber one incident which shows the man­ ner of man he is. We had a fine crew, some of them as powerful as I ever saw. Four or five of them went ashore one day and came back fighting drunk. "Three of tllem were men who would singly have been more than a match in strength for John L. Sullivan. The or­ der was given to put them in irons, and it was found impossible to carry out tlie order, for tlie men were dangerous. Dewey was notified of the situation. He was writing a letter in his room at the time. •"He went to the place where these giants were and he told them to come out and submit to the irons. They did not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to an orderly: 'Bring me my revolvers.1 And when he had his pistols he again called upon the men to come out and they did not move. Then he said: 'I am going to eount three; if you are not out here with your hands held up on the third count $ou won't come out of that place alive-' "He counted ohe, -^Sfn he cocked the revolvers, and he counted two. We all expected to hear the report for we knew that Dewey meant what lie said. The men knew it, too. They stepped out just in tinn? *o save their lives and held up their haniv^ and they had been partially sobered by their fright and the moral effect of Dewey's glance. "One of them said afterward that when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew that he would either be a dead jackey in a moment or he would have to yield, and when the irons were put upon him he was as sober as he ever was in his life. Dewey went back to his room and finished the letter he was writing. A Good Meal. "This paper says that 'the mission­ ary was dined.'" "Poor fellow!

IT was sundown iu Santa Rosalia. The rainy season was 011 in Cuba, and low. rumbling thunder had been heard all the afternoon. That is, the people who lived in the little clus­ ter of palm-thatched houses called San­ ta Rosalia thought it was thunder. And so it was--the distant roar of Spanish artillery that came up from the south. One little cottage stood by the road­ side. some distance apart from the oth­ ers. It was the home of the Moncados. The father, Jose, was dead. . He had fallen a victim to the last, the "ten years', " war, Three sons were left to carry 011 the fight, and they were then with Brigadier Lopez Recio. Only mother and Emilia, the sister, a little girl of twelve years, were left at home to watch and pray to God to aid the Cubans in their struggle for liberty. Suddenly the noise of clattering hoofs came from the southwest. The still niglit air bore the unmistakable sound with distinctness. In an instant every head was at the open door. Nearer and nearer came the galloping rider. He was alone. His horse was covered with foam and panting like a tired hound. Up to the little gate of the Moneado cot­ tage he staggered, and then his rider reeled and almost fell into the arms of his mother. . "My God! Rafael, you are wounded, my boy--" "It is no matter; I can still ride. The battle of Saratoga is raging. I am 011 my way to Colonel Pena. He does not know of it. We need him and-his cav­ alry. Help me to a fresh horse and I'll catch Pena at Santa Lucia to-night. I must " The poor fellow never finished the sentence. He had fainted. The arms of tender women bore him into the house. Poor little Emelia followed, the tears streaming from her eyes. She watched them draw off the riding boots tilled with her brother's blood. She brought water to moisten his parched lips. She saw the ugly wound in his hip and murmured through her gritting teeth: "Bad Spaniards! Bad Spaniards! They will kill 11s all yet!" And then her borther's eyes opened. The cold water had revived him. He tried to move, but only groaned iu agony. Once more he strove to rise. "Mother, some one. help me to my feet! I must go on--I must go 011. I have ridden sixteen leagues siuce morn­ ing. There are only four more to Santa Lucia and to Pena. We must have him." And with a mighty effort he rose to his feet. Then he wavered, tears of help­ lessness came into his eyes, and he sank back 011 the bed with a sob of anguish. "To think that I should go so near to the end of my journey and then fail!" "How were you wounded, my boy?" " 'Twas near El Desmayo--late this afternoon. I had changed horses at La Yinda an hour before. Suddenly I ran into a body of Spanish guerrillas from San Miguel. I could not Uglit them-- there were too many--so I took up a ra­ vine toward Isidro. They fired five vol­ leys after me jind gave chase. They knew I bore a commission. My horse was fleet and strong and I got away, but carried with me one of their rifle balls. I tore off parts of my sleeve and pushed them into the wound, but it still bled. I'm better now; I'm rested; I'll go 011." And again lie tried to get on his feet. "Rafael, my boy, it is impossible; you are weak. You cannot ride: the motion of the horse will cause you to bleed to death. Guido must go. Emilia, tell him to' saddle a fresh horse and get ready to ride to Santa Lucia." Emilia started toward the door, but her brother raised his hand in protest. "Guido is only a half-wit. He might start« for Santa Lucia, but he would never find his way in the dark. Even if he reached the place lie would forget whom he wanted to see." "But there is no other man in Rosa­ lia." pleaded the mother. "True! Therefore I must go,'wound or no wound. Emilia, tell Guido to sad­ dle a horse and bring it to the gate quickly. We are losing time." "Brother, we can't let j-ou go. I'll neVer see you again.". And the poor child buried her head on her brother's neck. Then, suddenly rising, she ex­ claimed: "O. why was I not a man? Cuba so needs men! Yes, I'll tell him to get Linda ready at once. Colonel Pena must go to help Gomez." Turn­ ing, she kissed her brother's forehead and hurried out to the stables. Soon the quick gallop of a horse was heard approaching the house. But it did nbt stop at the gate. On it sped in the di­ rection of Santa Lu£ia. A moment later Guido. the half-wit­ ted black boy, wandered aimlessly into the room. "Where is the horse, where is Emil­ ia?" inquired her brother. "Gone!" replied the boy. "Gone? Where?" came from all pres. ent. "I dun know. She said somethin' 'bout St. Lucia, jumped on Linda's back, and looks to me as how she's gone." II. And so she was; the brave little Emil­ ia, although not a Soldier of Cuba, had taken her brother's place. She had gone to get Pena; to tell him that the fight between Gomez and the Spanish Gener­ al Cas^el^tuos was on at Saratoga and tha^every Cuban iu Camaguey was needed. On the little heroine rode in the dark­ ness of the night. Shelliad been born and raised in the country, and she knew the way to Santa Lucia, although she had never before traveled it in the dark. But she was riding to save her brother's life^and for Cuba. Darkness, danger, notliingv<J»«mted her. Bare­ headed and aloirtCslie urged her horse over the road at a pace .which would Have made most girls tremble with -fear. • Not even when an hour later the trop­ ical storm .broke in all its- fury around her did, she hesitate. Lightning strik­ ing the tall "palma reals" caused Linda many times to shy and almost bolt the road, but the. brave little rider held 011 and never loosened rein until in sight of Pena's eampfires. "Quieu vs!" suddenly called out the picket. "Cuba!" answered the brave ljttle pa- triotas. she reined up her panting steed. "Adelante una!" ordered the guard, and Emilia, pale, wet, and dripping, rode forward. "Caramba! It is a child. Who are you? What do you want?" "I am Emilia Moneado. I want to tell Colonel Pena that there is a battle at Saratoga. General Gomez has only 530 men against over 2,000 Spaniards, and he needs help." A few minutes later, almost fainting with fatigue and nervous strain, she was borne into the presence of Pena. "Dios mio!" he exclaimed, as he list­ ened to her story and then gave the sig­ nal for his command to mount. "You pdor little thing, you should be abed and asleep." Wrapping his coat around her little, trembling, wet form, he jumped into his saddle and had an officer pass the child up to him. The order- was given to march, and in his arms the lighting Colonel of Camaguey carried the little heroine back to her home in Rosalia. "Take her," lie said, as he handed her over to the half crazed mother. "She brought us the news. I'll speak of her to General Gomez. She deserves the rank of a Major General. She has saved her brother's life,,, and her brave deed may win the day at Saratoga."-- Omaha Bee. Not a Common Beggar. A Washington nfan, who has been touched by ^tramps and professional beggars so often that he can tell by the step of the mendicant, approaching from the rear, his character and object/ met with a surprise one day last week. He was hurrying down Pennsylvania avenue, when a man of fairly respect­ able appearance approached him and asked him that he be taken into soipe lunch room and something be pur­ chased for him to eat. He' did not begin a long tale of distress, but the Washington man sized him up as one of the regulars who was really hungry or wa/trying to work an old game. The request was refused, as it hap­ pened, really because the citizen did not have any small change in his pock­ et and was in a big hurry. Later in the day he was approached by the same man, who nearly threw the citizen into a state of coma by drawing forth an unwieldly bunch of greenbacks. "You thought I was just an ordinary bum this morning," snid the mendicant, "apd I can hardly blame you. But 1 have been working on bridges down in Virginia for a railroad and I could not get my pay until this afternoon. 1 was dead broke and did not know a soul in this town. Come and have a' drink." This was rubbing it in, and the citizen made his escape at once,--Washington Post. ' . Great Fortunes Made by Accident. If there is anything that makes a por, toiling man happy it is to read about flukes that have made fortunes. For instance, there was a captain of a vessel plying between English and Australian points who made a lucky strike when convicts were take, New South Wales. A "time-expired" man came t& the mariner and begged to be taken home. The former convict had 110 niouey, but he would gladly give his plot of land for transportation. The captain, accepted the terms, and great is tlie joy of his descendants, for that plot is now occupied by a wharf and it is valued at $1,125,000. A Limerick tobacconist believed him­ self to be ruined by a lire that de­ stroyed his shop. The next day lie found tins of snuff that had been in tlie lire. Curiosity prompted him to open the canisters. He found that the ac­ tion of the flames had materially im­ proved the aroma and pungency of the snuff. The discovery made him very rich. The discovery of tlie Mount Slieba mine was purely a fluke, and its output of gold is the greatest of any mine in the world except in the Klondike dis- t rict. A bank clerk in London heard that there was it "rich deposit of gold at a certain place at the Cape of Good Hope. He set about forming a provisional syn­ dicate among his fellow clerks, and they raised about $1,500 among them­ selves. A mining engineer was sent out. He made a thorough investiga­ tion. but found 110 gold. He had de­ cided to give up the search and was ready to leave for home when he ran across a miner. > ; } * \ "Well, stranger," he said, "I guess you afe on a hunt for the shiny. 'Tain't here, boss." "Have you a claim here?" asked the engineer. "Yes; and I want to make tracks up the country. That's my claim over by that camel's hump. You can have it for $100, and here's a sample of the quartz. That claim ain't worth its weight in gold, but it's worth every dollar I ask for it." The engineer examined the specimen and decided that there was gold in it. He acted quickly. "I'll tell you what I'll do, mate," he said; "I'll give you $80 011 the risk ,©f losing it." /. The bargain was struck and the claim carefully explored. An abund­ ance of gold was found in the most un­ likely veins. To-day the shares, the face value of which is $100. are worth $500,000 each.--San Francisco Chron­ icle. Rose Tree 1,000 Years Old. One >f the most interesting curiosi­ ties in Germany is the rose tree at Hil-' desheini, which is more than 1,000 years old.
