IT WAS A HARD-E1KNED FEE. Bow Gocrffi Lawyer Obtained His Howard fThe hardest-earned fee I ever made," remarked a lawyer the city court-room a few days ago, "was in a Justice Court in Atlanta. That was just after I came here, over ten years ago. The case was before Judge Butt, when his office was on Mitchell street, near tfee comer of Whitehall. Surely a lawyer never worked harder for a $10 fee than I did in that case." It was during the recess for dinner, and quite a number of lawyers had gathered about one of the open windows to enjoy the breeze and to smoke their cigars. The conversation took a retrospective, reminicent turn. "My client," continued the lawyer, his eyes twinkling at the recollection, was Gabe Turner, an old darky. He was chaiged with assault and battery. Gabe was a big deaeon in some church i Fve forgotten the name and was much worked up over the matter. It was really a trivial case, and I was inclined to believe with Gabe that it was all a persecution and done at the instigation of another deacon in Gabe's church. "Well the day came for the trial and the coart-room was crowded. About half the congregation had come to swear for Gabe, and the other half for the other man. Two-thirds of the witnesses were women, and they just would go back to the beginning you know what that means in a negro church quarrel and tell the whole story. "It was a rare old case. "Finally we agied to submit the case without any more evidence and without argument. "Old Gabe was acquitted. "Next day, as he had promised. Gabe came in to see me. The old darky was able to pay, and I knew him to be prompt in meeting his debts. I felt a vague misgiving, though as soon as I saw his laoe. He came to the point at once. " 'Well, boss said Gabe, 1 come to pay you for my case. "That sounded all right, but Gabe looked 8aittish. I noticed that, I suppose, because I needed the money so. I just had bo have it. "4Arf if we kin agree,' old Gabe went on, Tve got the money right here. " 'Agrse,' said I, 'didn't we make an agreement to begin with?' "'Dat's so,' admitted Gabe, but I was 4xus tin' on a speech in dat case. Dem niggers ought certainly to been sposed. The speech was the big part.' " But I wasn't going to give up that $10 if there was any way out of it. " 'The charge is dismissed against you, Gabe said I, 'and the other negro paid all the costs. What good could it do to make a speech?" ""Twoldu'er done no good. De speech was de big part wid me, 'cause I wanted to hear dem niggers 'sposeoL' "'Gabe,' s?id I, finally, will you stick to your contract, or will you notr " Til stick to it said Gabe, 'ef youll make de speech.' "I had to have $10, and there was only ona way to get it. I shut the doors and windows and set Gabe in one corner of the room. Then I took off my coat and made the speech of my life. I understood, of course, that Gabe didn't care anything about the law. All he wanted was to hear the other crowd ' 'sposed 4tI apoke accoriingly. I called the other deacon a flop-eared hound, a chicken-thief, and the Lord only knows what not. The witnesses on tike other aide were villains of the deepest dye. They were spots on the earth aad imps of perdition. "GkryF said Gabe, Datfe right I wouid up with a eulogy en the -goodness and honesty of my client, GabrieL "Well, gentlemen, I got the $10. Gabe moved to Gwinnett County after that, and twice since then ae has needed a lawyer. Both times he came to Atlanta after me. I can chaige what J please, and Gabe pays it cheerfully.9' rAttenta Constitution. Remarkable Will Power. Three stories were told in Boston ever after-dinner cigars the other -day, showing the power of man's wiUL One waa of a young officer in the Eogliah army who was peculiarly stubborn and ) irascible. He had been confined to ids bed aftex a severe attack of the heart and was unable to move. His physician asked one of his fellow officers to warn him that he would never get rat of bed gaiu that he might aam&ge ibis affairs before death. When tihe ick man was told what the doctor had said he arose in bed excitedly and said : ul will. mnrer get up again, eh? I waSfl walk to :;he doctor myself and show him." le jumped to the floor, walked across the room and fell dead. The n 5xt was about a sheriff out West tflio, when arresting a man, was stabbed through the heart. He seized the man by the shoulders after the blade bail struck him, pressed him to the ground, drew his revolver, and deliberately .thrust it down the struggling prisonerat throat, pulled the trigger at the instant'he himself died. The stldxd story was regarding another etf&ier who was hunting down a

thiol The man thought he had given bis pur&oer the slip, but just as he entered one door of a railroad car the officer appeared in the other. The thief instantly fired, the bullet penetrating his pursuer's brain. The officer, however, returned the shot, bringing his man to the ground. He then dragged himself aiong the aisle of the car, fixing as he crawled, until bis revolver was empty. He was dea mrfcen he was picked up a second after be eeased to shoot. Bieh and Poor Shoppers. Did you ever watch a woman shopping? And if so, did it ever occur to you tibat according to the way she shopped she was rich or poor. You cannot a. ways judge them by their clothes, fir some very rich women put on shabby dresses when they go to market, and so they do when they go to buy dry goods. The rich woman is far more anxious and determined to have the worth of her money than a poorer w wuu is. If she is buying

silk for a gown ahe will have every piece of the color taken from the shelves, unrolled, carefully examined, felt between the thumb and tinge r, and compared with other pieces. She is going to pay a high price for a handsome dress, and she means to have the worth of every cent she spends. Quite right she is, too; no one will deny that And so she spends an hour or more in selecting a piece oi silk, pays for it, orders it sent home, and leaves the shop well pleased, ieeling that she got as much as she paid for. But how differently a poorer voinan goes to work! She has not as much money but she wants a new gown, and has made up her mind what ahe is going to buy. It is a gown that she will wear on many occasions, and it must be nice. She goes to a shop, asks for what she wants, looks at two or three pieces of goods and selects one of them, feeling sure that it is just what she wants. She pays for it, believing that it is' suitable for the occasions on which she will wear it. and feels satisfied with her purchase. She does not slop to think whether she has received in exchange for her money goods to the exact value; if she has paid a few more cents, or even dollars, than the material is worth, she is not unhappy over it. She has bought what she wanted, and to her it is worth all that she paid for it. St Louis Critic.

Students of Bulletins. To watch the readers of a newspaper bulletin board is productive of much knowledge of human nature. Among the many who garner most of their information concerning the world's going on from the tall annoucements in red, blue or black, you will find the credulous, incredulous, excitable, irascible, humorous, witty, delighted, patriotic enthusiastic, pessimistic despondent, and the infinite other varieties of beings. If you stand on Washington street near the newspaper offices any week day you may see a little old man consult " each bulletin and take copious notes in a pocket diary. He does not neglect any bulletin, giving careful attention to each, and it is said that he thus keeps a record of the world's events. Ho has been doing this for about five years, and although there are numerous sources where he might get his data for a trifling sum, he prefers to be his own historian. Another conspicuous student of the bulletin boards is a woman, w ho reports her observations to her spouse at the dinner table. She is a rara avis, for women, as a general thing, do not care to stop in the street to read. A well-dressed gentleman who, on going to his place of business, is obliged to pass three newspaper offices, saves himself the trouble, he .ays of reading the different papers, by glancing at the bulletins, and thus is guided in his choice of morning papers. Drivers of cabs generally examine the table of contents on the bulletin board before purchasing and, having driven around to the various Dffices, choose the menu of news tha-; suits their mental tastes. This, of oourse, is not true of cabmen who have their special paper, which they buy, rain or shine, and read while lounging on the box, or sitting on the floor of their carriage, with both feet resting on the step ra favourite posture with cabby while reading. Passengers of horse-cars prove the most anxious of bulletin gazers. Frequently they may be seen turning around in their seats straining their eyes to take in the announcements in full before the car passes. Notable events, such as international yacht races, national, State and municipal elections, bring solid cohorts in front of the bulletin boards, and then you cannot distinguish any grade or class, for then everybody is a bulletin gazer and receives the bulletin proclamation as genuine oracles, Boston Globe. The Zunis Were Shocked. Some years ago a party of Zani Indian priests came East to perform their mystic rites, at the ocean, and incidentally to see the country. Two of them remained in Washington for some time. They were middle-aged, but grave, sedate ascetics of the highest order of priesthood. They were full of a weird, strange knowledge, mystic3of an order we inow not of, deeply devout, and rigorously moral. These prieata spoke no English, yet they knew dozen tongues and innumerable dialects. One evening they were taken to the theater. At that time the Comique was dn full blast. It was midsummer. The Zunis were seated at a table with their backs to the stage, sipping lemonade through a straw and fanning; them-

eelvee wtfh the peculiar reed woven fans they earned. The curtain rose and the visitors turned at the blare of the orchestra just as a massive-limbed nymph in flerihcolored tighis and short skirts came kicking down to the footlights and began to shrill out a pathetic ballad about how "Jamie Had Left Her Broken-Hearted. n One 'look was enough. Instantly the Zunis bobbed their heads behind their fans, and, chattering to each other like magpies, wheeled tlieir backs to the stage.

THE WHISTLER,

How Ho Moretl the Hearts of the Soldier! Both in Blue and Gray "A good whistler is, as a rule, the best of good fellows," said the Colonel. "We had one fellow in our regiment who could whistle anything, and who was generally moved to whistle his best when the rest of us were feeling our worst. The ugliness in sold ier nature was pretty sure to come out at the tail-end of a long, muddy march, and the swearing at such times was very distressing to a man who had faith in human nature. At such times our gay whistler would strike up some favorite tune. The swearing would cease, the boys would catch step, and they would go merrily along to the whistled melody. After a battle, when the men were despondent and discouraged, the whistler of the regiment would whistle tender, plaintive tunes by the hour, and I know that he gave great comfort. "After the battle on Lookout Mountain he was one of the guards detailed to escort the prisoners taken in the mountain fight down to Bridgeport, where they were to take the train for the North. There were several hundred of them, and the march down from Chattanooga to Bridgeport was a tedious one, but the slow progress brought about a close acquaintance between the guards and the prisoners, and on several occasions during the march the cheering whistle of the gayhearted man in blue cheered the heavy-hearted men in gray, and they were wont to call for music whei the circumstances of the march were more than usually distressing. "As they started across the pontoon bridge at Bridgeport, two lines of gray, in the center and a thin line of blue on each outer edge, the whistler, in accordance with a very general call, started a melody suited to the occasion. The men caught step, and Keb and Yank went swinging across the bridge, ignoring the command of the officers to change step. As the column reared the center, the march had become a sort of a jollification, and just as the jollity was at its height, the bridge parted in the middle, and in an instant scores of men were struggling in the water. " There was, of course, great conf usion, but in good time all the men except three or four were rescued. Among those lost were one Olio bojr and two of the prisoners. The survivors were immediately loaded into the train waiting. Every one was greatly dejected. Just before the train started there came from the whistler, who, in his wet clothes, was the very image of discomfort, a soft, tender melody. It was like the wail of a child, like the song of a woman with a heart-break, but ended with something that was like a tribute to the dead, like Ck story of some one gone to rest, and scores of the prisoners stepped out to the whistler and silently shook his hand. Chicago Inter Ocean His Friend Skaggs. "Hallo, Money bagg, how goes it? Mr. Moneybagg's whole spine quivered and tingled as a brawny hand came down with a whack between his shoulders. I I beg your pardon, sir, but I lorit know you," said Moneybagg, painfully conscious that the eyes of all the clerks in his counting-room were fixed on him and his caller. What ? Ye don't know me ? Don't remember Bill Skaggs ?" "No, I do not." "Why, man, what's become of your reckomembery if ye fergit old friends like me? Gay n't guess, now, when and where it was you see me last ? "No." "Why, -dern it all, Moneybagg, Vm the feller ye got yer wiurms of when ye was fishin' up in Maine three or four years ago, yes, I am.

A Lover's Predicament A curious incident happened at Milan not long since. In a family of weavers are two beautiful twin sisters, so exactly alike that only their most intimate acquaintances can distinguish between them. A young cabinet-maker courted one, as he supposed, but made love to both without knowing it, and the girls kept each her secret. One day recently the cabinet-maker visited the mother, and naked the hand of her daughter in marriage. The mother called the girls, and for the first time he saw them both together; and when asked which of her daughters he sought to make his companion he was completely nonplused, and could not tell "t'other from which." He did not know how to decide, and, as each girl averred it was she whom he had courted, he asked time to consider which he would take. Tho Grand Prerequisite of Vigor.

Reducing a Story. In the South once lived a famous sportsman, who not only made long shots in the fields but could also tell very large stories. Being aware that he sometimes went to the extreme he told his favorite black man Cudjo to give him a hint whenever he found him stretchirig the truth too much. One day, dining in company with other ge atlemen, he told some prodigious large stories, among the rest of a fox he had killed which had a tail twenty yards long. Cudjo thought this wail too extravagant, and as he stood beliind his master's chair he gave him a nudge. "Twer.tv, did I sav? Perhaps I'm a little toe- fast. But 'twas all of Fifteen. " Cudjo gave him a second nudge. "Eh! let me see? 'Twas ten at least." A third nudge. 'Tws.s every inch of rive." A fourth nudge. " 'Twa.s three anyhow." " A fifth nudge. This was too much. The other hints were taken good-naturedly, but at the last nudge he turned suddenly to his servant and exclaimed : "Why, d n it, Cudjo, won't you let my fox have any tail?" 'fllamma's GUtin Better."

court, he said that he thought there was a panther in the yard, and shoot

Toward the beginning of 1700 the crowns of hats were mostly round, much lower than before, and had very broad brims, resembling what are now occasionally called Quaker's hats, the protrusive incumbrance of which soon suggested the convenience of their being tnrned up in front. Fashion dictated the unbending of another side or flap, and ultimatelja third, so that, by this process in 1704. the regular three-cocked hat became the order of the dayf when feathers ceased to be usually worn.
