A friend of rnlno, who knew that I had good judg ment regarding horseflesh, asked me if I would help him In selecting one, and I said I would, ao we went down together. He had a buggy horse, but ho wanted a better One, and didn't waut to be twin-, died. We looked the horses over some what, and I became interested in a mare of fine condition and blood and bought her. A short time afterward a 8-year-old colt was brought into the ring and it caught my friend's eye at once. He asked me what I thought of it. I looked the horse over and told him it was a very fine animal and that lie would make uo mistake In buying It. The colt was put up without any especial attention having been given It, and at an off moment and before my friend knew it, the horse had been knocked down to him for the ridic ulously low figure of $30. I told him ha had a good bargain and went away. "The other day I ran across him and asked him how he liked his purchase. He looked at ind kind of sheepish and made a confession. Said he had weak ened somewhat of the purchase after he had taken possession of the colt, and it hod occurred to him that au $89 horse wasn't exactly what he wanted. While he was meditating, with more or less re gret, on the purchase, he ran against a man who asked him if he had bought the colt. He told the stranger he had, and the man Bmiled and said the colt was vicious and plenty dear at $85. Then the stranger said be had a spanking good driving horse, and If my friend would give him ills stable address he, would drive around next day and show.him the animal. This was done, and the man came with a fine animal and took iny friend for a spin on the boulevard. He left him at his door and called on him the next day and tried to negotiate a sale, but my friend, having two horses. didn't want another. The upshot of it all was that my friend traded his two horses for the one of the stranger and gave him an order on the stableman for them, the understanding being that the man was to deliver the horse he had ex hibited when he took the other two away. My friend called around at the stable in the afternoon to see his new possession, and was floored to learn that his two horses had been taken away and nothing left in exchange. And be dldn t kuow the swindler or anything about him.

Chicago Herald. Merciful. The Indians believe that if the stillness over the waters of a lake be broken by any careless word the spirits of the place will be offended. In the days of the early settlers, we are told, a white woman bad occasion to cross Lake Saratoga, and the Indians, who were to row her across, warned her of the danger that one rash word might bring; but of course, being a white woman, she was superior to all such superstitious notions. It was a calm, cloudless day, and the canoe sped like an arrow across the smooth waters. Suddenly, when in the middle of the lake, the strong minded woman determined to prove to these simple folk the folly of their belief. So she lifted up her voice in a wild cry that woke every echo of the hills. The Indians were filled with consterna tion. They uttered no word, but, strain ing every nerve, rowed on in frowning silence. They reached the shore In safety, and the woman triumphed; but the Mohawk chief looked upon her in scorn. "The Great Spirit is merciful," he said; "he knows that the white wo man cannot hold her peuce." Youth's Companion. Slate In Pepper.

"Private John Allen," of Mississippi, wlio became the wit of the house of representatives with the death of Hunsct Cox, tells a Rood story on himself of how he oame to be a profound lawyer. A party of members were telling yarns In the cloak room of the house, and when Allen's turn came he told this one: "I want to tell you of the greatest legal victory of my life," said Allen, as he lighted a cigar and propped his feet against the wall in true southern style. "It was down In Tupelo during the trying period just after tho war. I was at that time a practicing lawyer that is,l prao ticed whenever I had any cases to prac tice with. One day old 'Uncle' Pompoy, one of the old negroes of the settlement, camo into my oflice and said: " 'Mors John, I wants you to o'lar me. I'se gwlne to be 'rested for stealiti' of two hams out en do cross road store. ' 'Well, Pompey,' I asked, 'did j-ou steal the hamsV , " 'Mars John, I just took 'em.' " 'Did any one seo you? I asked. " 'Yas, boss,' said the old negro dis consolately, 'two ole while buokra's.' " 'Well, Pompey,' I replied, '1 can't do anything for you under the circum stances.' " 'Now, Mars Jdhn,' said old- Pompev, 'here's ten' dollars. I jlst want you to trv.' "Well, I consented to try," said Allen. "The case was to be heard before an old magistrate named Johnson. He was totally uneducated, and was moreover a perfect dictator, and no negro ever came before him who was not fined the maxi mum penalty and sent to his field to ox plate the crime in the sweat of his brow. "The magistrate heard the case, Every possible proof was brought to show that Pompey stole the hams. Tliere could be no doubt of it from the testimony. I did not put a single qdestlou to any of the witnesses, but when the testimony was all in I arose, and In my most dignified manner addressed the magistrate: " 'May it please your honor, It would bo useless for me to-argue before one who would adorn the superior If not the su preme court bench of this grand old commonwealth. And I may sny that those who know you best say that you would grace even the supreme court of the United Statea. tho highest tribunal In the land. It will be useless to dwell upon the testimony. You have heard It, and know the case as well aarl do. How ever, It may not be out of order for me to call your honor's attention to a short passage in the old English law, which clearly decides this case, and which, for the moment, your honor may have for gotten,' "Then I Ashed down in my pocket and drew forth, with a great flourish, an old copy of 'Julius Cpasar.' I opened It with great dignity to the first page and read the line which Is familiar to every school boy, 'Omnia Gallia in partes tres dlvisa est.' 'That decides the case,' said I, throwing the book upon the table. 'That clearly acquits the defendant. "With great dignity and solemnity I then took my seat. The old magistrate was completely nonplused. He looked at me a moment quizzically and scratched his head. Then, turning to Pompey, he raised himself to his full height and said: " 'Pompey , I know you stole them hams, but by the ingenuity of your lawyer I've got to let you go. Qlt out,' said he, as he planted his No. 9 in the seat of Pompey's pants, 'and If you aver come here again, lawyer or no lawyer, you will git bIx months.' Atlanta Constitution. A loluter ou Walulug.

"What good will that do?" "All the good in the world. You are a light man I mean as far as physical weight Is concerned. The girl is a good dancer. You go swinging around with her. You are in doubt. You waver just a little, bit. Does a break occur? Not at all. The momentum keeps you uiov lug. The heavy girl bless her heart swings you right round at the proper time and place.
