ten years of hurdshlp In the West, sin

wcnlth, the power to gratify desires
were hers, and above all her lovel
husband, who, from the first, was tt
her a great genius among men, win

by all who knew him.
Mrs. needier entertained many din
tlriKiilHlted guests at her home. Sin
assisted her husband wisely and etil
cieutly In his undertakings. In tin

her love, which knew no waulug, was

Everything In her llttlo house was n

relics of their happy married life. In
her eighty-fourth year it was bet

Washington, but how to accomplish
this object was the perplexing ques

through the kindness of great-hearted
men In Chicago, who, admiring Mrs
Ueocher's many excellencies of char
acter displayed In her long life, ar
rauged the trips and return from

SW1HDLIN0 PATENT ATTORNEYS
AND SALE AOEN0IE3.
Notwithstanding the hard times,
there is no decrease in the number of
patents granted to inventors, so call
ed. Indeed, it appears that hard times
stimulate invention, or the effort to
make money in some magic and easy
way. Those who prey upon the
creduality of inventors know this, and
they are, especially at this time, in
undating the rural districts with their
roseate circulars promising sudden
wealth in patents, and sending lists of
"inventions wanted." There is no
species of deceit that is more dis
honest, heartless and hurtful, than
these circulars of bogus patent at
torneys and patent sale agencies, , fot
they are luring tens of thousands of
simple men and women from bread
winning toil to a jack o'lantern pur
suit of fortune, sure to end in loss, if
not rum. Many of them are selling
farms, cows, homes, and actually
stinting themselves in the common
comforts of life in order that they may
pay a patent attorney who has pro
mised them a patent and wealth.
i he attorney demands his fee in
advance, and, having got it, "the sub
sequent proceedings trouble him no
more."
The inventor rarely gets a patent,
and, if he does get it, he will find that
it is worthless. The rapacity of these
attorneys is not satisfied with the first
lee. 1 hey "work the inventor tor
all he is worth, and flatter him with
glowing fictions about the value of
his invention, and send him a medal,
which they say has been awarded him
by a Hoard of Experts. They assure
the inventor that a fortune awaits him,
if he will only advertise in their paper,
which they claim to be the largest in
the world.
In this and other ways, the hapless
inventor is further robbed. lie sends
$io or $20 more to the dishonest at
torney, or perhaps he will even send
him several hundred dollars for
European patents, not knowing that
his invention is not patentable, or
that if a patent is granted him, it will
be so weak and flimsy as not to afford
him protection, anasthat no one ac
attainted with the procress that has
been made in this class of invention
would have the patent as a gift.
There is a bill before Congress to
protect inventors against patent at
torneys who award prizes and medals,
It punishes the offence by heavy fine
or imprisonment.
Chester A. Snow,
Not on the Map.
In a certain New England town
there once lived a wealthy but illiter
ate man, who owned many sailing
vessels and fol'owed their course over
the seas by the aid of an enormous
atlas. A neighbor who stopped on
one occasion to see him on a matter
of business, was ushered into the li
brary where he found the ship owner,
with his spectacles astride his nose,
poring over the atlas, which was
pread open on the table before him.
1 1 m glad you ve come in, said
he rising to grasp his guest's hand
cordially, " for there's a little point
ou may be able to help me about,
've just had a letter from one of my
captains, and he tells me tnat ne s
been in a fearful storm and didn't
know but what the vessel would go to
pieces.
" He s a well-educated man, and
he uses first-rate language," said the
ship owner proudly. "1 11 just read
you out the passage from his letter
that puzzles me. He says, 'The
waves rose like mountains, and the
storm raged about us, while nothing
but the vivid lightning broke the
pitchy gloom. But although death
seemed likely to be our portion, we
were saved j driven before the wind
and put into great jeopardy, but still
here I am pen in hand.
" Now what I want to know is,
said the ship owner, as ne refolded
the sheet from which he had read the
precious extract, and placed it careful
ly in his wallet, " what I want to
know is, where is Great Jeopardy ?
I know it's somewhere on the medi
terranean but I can't seem to find it
on this pesky map anywhere !" F.x.

Jubal'i Call-
The daughter of Dr. Edward Hod
ges, the organist, says that her lather
had a dclightlul way oi caning an me
children musically. One Sunday morn
ing, when he was playing in St. John s
chapel, New York, he said to her i
"I am going to call Jubai. watcn
him."
Tubal was sitting in his accustomed
place near the middle aisle. Dr.
Hodges' voluntary began thought
fully and smoothly, but in the course
of it a significant phrase of two notes
was twice repeated. It was distinct
and yet so truly a part of the im
provisation that no stranger would
have noticed it at all.
The first time Tubal's attention was
arrested ; the second, he turned and
looked up, but saw no sign. At the
third call he deliberately took up his
hat, left the pew, walked straight up
to his father and said :
"Do you want me, sir ?''
"Yes," said Dr. Hodges, "uo
home and get my gold snuffbox."
The errand was speedily executed,
for the house stood near. Jubal hand
ed the snuffbox to his father and re
turned to his seat. Youth's Com

A Modern Solomon.
A pathetic little drama was recently
enacted in a French court of justice.
A poor needlewoman was charged
with stealing two gold coins from her
employer. Her defense was that,
while waiting in her employer s house,
the child in her arms, unknown to
her, was attracted by the sight of the
glittering gold on the mantel shelf be
hind her, and, leaning forward over
her shoulder, clutched the coins in its
chubby fist, and had so carried them
away. This she persistently and
solemnly stated on oath, says the
London Wtekly Telegraph.
The court, however, was incredu
lous, and reproved the mother for her
attempt to deceive him. But she as
serted her innocence with such pathe
tic power that the sagacious judge de
termined to test the truth of her state
ment. He bade her stand by his desk
with her child facing over her shoulder
in the way she had described. Then
he took several gold coins from his
pocket and placed them on the desk
within reach of the child.
A breathless silence ensued. Every
one awaited the toucning sequei.
Then suddenly the child's eye caught
sight of the gleaming gold, and, with
an eager smile, the tiny hand was out
stretched to the desk and the coins
were clutched in its tenacious grasp.
The mother was promptly acquitted.
