Benton Overreached In Eager ness to Make Point. During the first hearing of the fa mous Crocker will case In the su preme court, before Judge l.athrop siid a Jury, there were many Inter esting and amuKlng tilts between the eminent counsel enframed In the caso Robert M. Morse for the contestants of the will, and Col. Joseph II. Ben ton, Jr., for the executors. Perhaps at no time during the hear In;, however, was there an'y better ex hibition of wit thftn In the summing up of counsel before the Jury. At one point Col. Benton was trying to Impress upon the Jury that the ex pression "old fool," alleged to have been used by cno of the interested parties, might reasonably bo construed as n term of endearment. ' "For example," explained Col. Ben ton, "King Lear railed his fond daugh ter, 'my dear pretty fool.' " Hero he waited a moment to let the point sink Into the minds of tho Jury Judge l.athrop, however, who had been listening with Intense Interest, leanrd forward In his chair und dryly remarked : "But, Mr. Benton, King Lear was crazy, wasn't he?" "Well, your honor, that's a mooted question," was all that the confused attorney could reply, and even this was almost smothered by the mirth ful outburst In the court room, In which tho opposing counsel, Mr Morse, Joined most heartily. Force of Habit. George W. Wallace, president of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone com pany, and one of tho best known resi dents of Salt Lake, tells this as his latest telephone story: In a certuln Western central office one hello girl was always late In ar riving In the morning. Time and time again the manager pleaded with her to be more prompt. Her tardi ness continued until he was moved to desperate methods. "Now, Miss B ," he said one morning as he came to her exchange with a package In his hands, "I have" a little scheme which I hope will enable you to arrive at the office on time. Here is a tine alarm clock for you. Promise me that you will use it." The young woman promised and ac cordingly set the alarm clock for tho proper hour when she retired that night At 7 o'clock the next morning there was a tremendous whirring from the alarm clqck. Tho sleepy hello girl rolled over In bed and said sweetly: "'Line busy, call again.'" Not a Fair Division. "It a house contains six bureaus, eleven armoires, seven chiffoniers and fifty-three miscellaneous drawer's, how many of 'em Is the husband entitled to, and how many Is the wife?" asked the young clubman. The second clubman laughed harshly. "'You are young nnd have much to learn," he said. "You may as well understand first as last that If there were In your house a mile of bureaus three ucres of armoires nnd 17,000 drawers, all these would bo stuffed full ot veils, niching, hatpins, ribbons, silk Blockings, petticoats, powder puffs and safety pins, and the best course for you to pursue would be to wrap your own thngs your shirts, underclothes, and so on In a news paper and keep them under the bed." New England Interpretation. Cardinal Gibbons was facetious when tho Irish ladles' choir of Dublin called tin him. Turning suddenly he asked: "Which one ot you Is the oldest?" None claimed the honor, and all blushed. The tallt drifted around to Gilmore and his band, and Cardinal Gibbons told of how Gilmore, at Coney Island, hearing that the cardinal was In tl:e audience, played "Maryland, My Mary land," and how It pleased him. "Gilmore," said the cardinal, "was famous for his playing of Mozart's 'Twelfth Mass.' Once he played It In a North Carolina town, and next day the local paper announced that he 'ren dered with great effect "Mozart's Twelfth Massachusetts." " Pittsburg Dispatch. Tell How to Rraise Money. A new wrinkle In promotion schemes Is being unfolded by a busi ness concern having headquarters in the Illinois metropolis. A specialty pf this entorprlse Is to furnish "money raising plans for church workers." The firm announces: "If you wish to raise cash easily and quickly for any church, Sunday school or society fund, send a postal to-day. Our recently published new method souvenirs of church and pas tor have already realized In cash up wards of two hundred thousand dol lars." A typical form of Indorsement reads In this fashion: "We will send you hundreds ot letters in which real church workers tell how they use the plans we submit." FITS rwrmnriHntljr oared.

Dun & Co.'j Weekly Trade Re view says : "Mild weather 1ms stimulated retail business in many lines, and some deal ers arc displaying their lines of spring poods. The wholesale millinery houses arc holding their openings and the num ber of buyers on the market from out of town is constantly increasing. "Jobbing trade in dry goods, notions and underwear is large and collections satisfactory. There is a temporary de cline in hunlicr, though values continue high and collections goo:!. Current sales of furniture are lifrht, though fair orders arc being booked for future delivery and prices are tending upward, busi ness in drugs and paints is somewhat dull, but collections are gco.l and im provement is looked for as soon as the spring season is fully advanced.

KEEK'S 'RACE East Eotton admits It Is n suburb, hut denies that It Is In the cinss with Lonr.soniehurst nnd Sw nnipvlilt'. says the Boston Journal. Yet when A deer from the forest walks unmolested and bold down Its main street, Its clnlms as a component part ot the town might be doubted. It was about C:"0 ycslerday morn Ins that a little brown deer came out on Meridian street, having made his way across vacant lots from the Lynn woods, and pa.cd In wonder at the buildings and the works of man. Suddenly there was a hoarse clang behind him. and n hupo tunnel car toro over upon him. TerrlPod, the deer sprang forward, nnd It became a race between the animal and the ear, which he thouRht was chasing him. The short breadth cf Noddle Island was covered In a few moments and the victorious deer, his li: tie heart jumping with terror, sped straight down to the sea, to where a South Ferry boat lay at the slip. Right through the ferryboat sped the deer, and then, with a mighty People now demand tho right to know exactly what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food Is "pure'' is not satisfactory. Candy may contain "pure' white clay or "pure" dyes and yet lie very harm ful. Syrups tuny contain "pure" glu cose mid yet be quite digestible and even beneltelnl. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or borueic acid as u ne.'-i'ssary preserva tive, which imiy iigteu with'one and be harmful to another.
