CHOATE'S ADVICE. A
It Let a Choleric Client Into the
Path* of Peace.
It seems always to have lain within
the power of the distinguished lawyer
and hnmorlst, Kufua Choate, to lend
a choleric client from ways of anger
into the paths of pence. Just before
the war a southern gentleman wua
dining with a friend In one of the heat
hotels of Boston. lie was of French
Creole extraction, and bis name wna
Delacour, says a writer In Blpplncott's
Magazine. The waiter was a colored
man, and the southerner gave his or
ders In a very domineering fashion,
finding fuult freely with what was put
before him and the way In which It
was served. Finally the waiter la'came
Incensed and told Mr. Delacour to go
to a place warm and remote. The lat
ter sprang furiously to his feet and
would hute shot the olfeuder dead If
he had not bwi restrained by his
wiser frlshd, who said:
"You can't do that Bort of thing here.
You will have to remember where you
arc."
"Do you suppose that I am going to
put up with such Insolence uud not
he revenged?" said the enraged man.
"Ortatnly not But do it by process
of law."
The laudlord was first Interviewed
and the waiter discharged. That was
not sufficient to satisfy the wounded
feelings of Mr. Delacoor. He asked
who was the best lawyer In the city
and was told It was Itufus Choate.
Making his way to his office, he said:
"Mr. Choute, I want to engage you
In a case. Whut will your retaining
fee be?"
"About tOO."
The check was made out and handed
•ver.
"Now," said the lawyer, "what are
•he facts of the case?"
lim was told. Said Mr. Choate
•loughtfully:
"I know the United States law on
the subject well, and I know the law
of the commonwealth of Massachu
setts, and I can assure you, sir, that
there is no power on eurth strong
enough to force you to go to that
place If you don't want to go. And if
I were you I wouldn't."
"Well," said the southerner, accept
ing the situation, "I think I'll take your
advice." And they parted good friends.
POULTRY POINTERS.
Supply plenty of gravel to fowls that
are being fattened in confinement.
Chickens should never be allowed to
go on the roosts until ten or twelve
weeks old.
I.lme Is a purifier and should be ÜBed
as a wash ou the coops, perches and
neat boxes.
If a hen lays soft shelled eggs, give
her plenty of gravel, oyster shells and
crushed bone.
Ducks should bo allowed as much
liberty as possible. They are not par
tial to confinement.
Flat eggs, eggs within eggs, double
yolked eggs and other unnatural for
mations are due to the heus being over
fat.
(Icese may be fattened on any kind
of grain If fed all that they will eat for
about ten days before sending them to
murket. Corn, peas and barley are
best.
Young chicks of fancy breeding
should not be permitted to roost on
perches until after they are eight
months old, as It often causes crooked
breast bones.
Accumulating filth is a prolific source
of disease, especially gapes. After the
poultry yard Is cleaned up sprinkle It
well with diluted carbolic acid and a
little copperas.
Adding; Inault to Injury*
She had Just handed him the frosty
mitt, but he was game to the last hur
dle.
"If you are ever In trouble," he said,
"do not hesitate to lift up your voice,
and you will find me 'Johnny on the
spot.' "
"I'm in trouble now," answered the
human refrigerator, with a sigh long
drawn out.
"And, behold," exclaimed the unsus
pecting youth, "I am here."
"Yes," she said, "that's the trouble."
