A TRAMP CLIENT'S FEE
"Undoubtedly the most valuable
barrel of whiskey ever distilled," said
a well-known lawyer, was owned some
years ago, in Steuben county. If there
was ever a barrel of whiikey more
valuable I would like to hear of it, for
two gallons of this particular barrel
brought its owner over $600,000 a gal
lon. There is a story connected with
that whiskey that is worth telling, and
worth placing on the record, too.
"Some years before the war a young
man named Henry M. Sherwood
was admitted to the bar of Steuben
county. He was a bright young fel
low, and belonged in the town of
WoodbuU. Soon after he was admit
ted to the bar, and before he had had
his first client, a tramp was arrested
and put into jail at Corning. Lie had
been guilty of some serious breach of
the peace, and hie general appearance
was that of a genuine tough. He tried
to engage a lawyer to defend him when
his case came up for a hearing, bat as
he had no money no one cared to take
his case in hand. At last he inquired
whc'.ber there wasn't some young law
yer in the place who hadn't had much
of an opportunity to distinguish him
self as yet, and who would likely be
willing to undertake the management
of the prisoner's case for the chance of
getting some glory out of it. He was
told that youug Hank Sherwood might
consent to appear under these con
ditions, and the stranger sent for the
briefless lawyer. Sherwood went to
the jail and saw the prisoner.
" 'It looks as if I was in a pretty bad
scrape,' said the tramp to Hank, 'but I
believe that a lawyer can get me
through all right. Now, I'm from
Kentucky, and I haven't got a cent.
I'm going back to Kentucky if I get
out of this scrape, but I'll have to beg
or beat my way till I get there. My
father is a big distiller, but I've been a
trifle wild, and he aud I are not on the
best of terms. He wouldn't send me
a cent even if I should send word to
hint of the fix I am in here. But I'll
tell you what I'll do. If you will take
charge of my case and work it for all
It is worth, and get me clear, I'll sneak
out of the old man's stock when I get
home a barrel of the best old Kentucky
whiskey there is in the Bourbon coun
try, and have it shipped to you. I can
do it easy. What do you say?''
"Young Sherwood didn't take a bit
of stock in the old man's story, but he
made up hia mind to see what he could
do in the management of the case, just
to bejin getting his hand in, and he
accepted the tramp as his client. I
slon't remember the details of the
case, but Hank succeeded in clearing
the tramp, and the latter went away,
feeling good. Time passed along, and
Sherwood had forgotten ail about hi
tramp client and the promised fee,
when one day the station agent at Ad
dison, where the young lawyer lived,
met Mm and said:
" 'Say, Hank, there's a barrel in tne
freight house for you. it's been there
day or two, and came from Ken
tucky. More than that, its markings
declae that it contain fine old Ken
tucky bourbon."
"The tramp haa paid his lawyer's
fee, sure enough. Sherwood had the
barrel taken home and p.aced i.i his
cellar. He wasu't much of a tamperer
with whiskey, aud the barrel lay in the
cellar fare years without being dis
turbed. The late Constant Cook was
then Jndge of Sreuben county. He
was holding court at Cumin? one
term, and, as was the custom in those
days, a number of lawyers and others
gathered in the Judge's room at the
hotel in the evening and passed ar.
hour or to in a social game of eucbre.
The Judge enjoyed an occasional gluss
of good whiskey, too. On the occa
sion I speak of, Hank Sherwood was
one of the Judge's cuchro party. The
Judge was very bitter in his denunci
ation of the whiskey tbey sold in Corn
ing, and said he would be grateful for
a glass of whiskey that was fit to
drink. That reminded Shervvood of
his barrel of old Kentucky bourbon
that had been lying so long in his cel
lar. He told Judge Cook that be had
some whUkey at home that he believed
was good, and. that he would fetch
some down next day. He had bis
barrel tapped that night, and filling a
two-gallon jug from it brought it to
Corning and presented it to Judge
Cook. The Judge tasted the whiskey,
aud in all his experience ho had never
mot with its equal.
' 'Young man,' said ho to Sher
wood, I won't forget you for fetch
ing me this rare stuff. If ever I see a
chance to five you a lift I'll Jo it.'
"Time paused. Sherwcod sklniie4
along after the manner of the average
country lawyer. The war broko out.
Judge Cook was one of the solid men '
of western Xew York. lie. In mm. 1
pony with tho lute John Arnot, J.
T. 8'raimhan t Buffalo, Charlos
Cook of Ilarana, and John H. Chcdell
of Auburn, had built the Xow York

In other gie.: :mpmvi'iucnts .n tarn
iuit of r'ld 8. ate and rcuusyH a
fcoun - tlic war bcau ho obtained
a big government contract, and at one
lent for Hank Sherwood
" 'I'm going to give yon that lift
now, Henry,' said he.
"He let Sherwood in on the con
tract, and the country lawyer's share
o the proceeds was $150,000 cold,
cash dollars. After this was done
Judjre Cook said to Sherwood:
" 'There's some land for sale in Tioga
county, Ta. It is coal land, and is
bound to be very valuable. Yon can
buy some of it very cheap. Put all
the money you've got in that land.
"Sherwood did so. Every dollar he
made in the big contract he put into
Tioga county laud. He hadn't a great
while to wait before the prophesy of
Judge Cook came true. Henry M.
Sherwood's first fee resulted in being
the biggest fee he ever received by any
lawyer on earth, for he cleared over
$1,000,000 from his investment in the
Tioga county lands, and the barrel of
Kentucky whiskey his tramp client
had paid for his services was the basil
of it all. "Was there ever a moit
valuable barrel of whiskey distilled,
do you think?"

Ilistory of a Well Known Song.
How many of the myriads who in
hildhood have 6ung "There is a happy
and, far, far, away," knew anything
f the writer? His name is Andrew
foung, and he is now eighty years of
igp, still mentally and physically vigor
ms, and retaining in all its early freh
ess his sympathy with children. .The
lymn was composed in 1838. The
nne to which it Is married is an old
Indian air, which blended with tbe
nusic in the woods in the primeval
'orest long before Sunday schools were
bought of. The hymn was composed
for the melody. Its bright and strong-y-marked
phrases struck Mr. Young's
nusical ear the first time he heard it
aeually played in the drawing-room,
le asked for it again and again. It
taunted him. Being accustomed to
elieve the clamor of his thoughts and
'eelings In rhyme, words naturally fol
owed, and so the hymn was naturally
reated. It got into print. It had
een translated into nineteen different
inguagoe. And yet the author has
cever received, and, indeed, has never
teen offered, a penny in remuneration.

beoriilog - is coming Into geeeral
practice in the West. Whoever hoe sees
dchoro3l cattle confined ia a srnaU yard
sod e&tmtr like saesp out of one rack,
or tralhe red together in groups lor ma'
tusl protection from flier or coUl, csonol
but admit that dehoroiog is successful.
There is oo pushing the weaker ones to
the outside nor gulling them witbeoarf
boras. Tbe fact that a coir dues not
abriuk any io her milk end goes right to
eating as soon as let loose, seems prett
good evidences that it Is not such a pu
ful or cruel practice as msoy imagine.
The largest horns can be cut off ia thirty
seconds with a sharp saw and many ol
tbcra to five seconds. Another method
is to prevent tbe growth of the Jioras.
Tako young calves when they are one to
three weeks old, wet tbe horn spots with
water and with a stick of caustic potash
rub th? spots uati! the hair begins to
loosen and come off of the bora spots.
The peculiar action of the potash stOis all
growth of the horn and is not a very
painful operation. Protect the Angers
iy wrapping tbe stick in paper.
Tbe practice of dehorning cattle We
bplicve to be beneficial as well as. bu.
ui.ine to tbe cattle. . When the horns ate
taken eff, cattle lose' all desire to fight
uil drive each other arouud. They will
do better in droves and can be confined
with far greatersafcty in small yards and
sheds, and vfill cat and herd togetbet
much like sheep. Tbey do' not require
so much feed in winter to . keep them
warm, and ia summer will keep together
and protect themselves from Sits. Bulls
with their horns off are not so vicious
and cannot do so much damage. . Ia
visiting the fairs this fall it was a com
moo sight to see droves of cattle come ia
la which some of them bad gashes three
to six inches long from being hooked";
and others Had torn their bornl off la
fighting. This hurt the cattlo far mora
than it would to cut the horns off. There
are many other advantages to bo dsriveJ
from taking off tbe bonis, and one would
