GUTHARD & SCHROEN
APPEALED   ON   HIS   RECORD
Happenings   of   the   Past   That   Convinced-Squire of-the Honesty
^    of the Plaintiff.
.Miss Lydia Conley, a 'Wyandotte
girl, is the only Indian woman lawyer
in the world. At Kansas City, anent a
recent Indian case that she conducted,
she told an interesting legal story..-. •
"So I put my man on the standj"
she said. ."That, if .your case is a just
one, Jus always the thing to do. You
know the story of'the Kansas land
claimant? " s
"Well, out here, many years .ago, a
man brought suit before the squire ^to
recover some land., that had been.out-
rageonsly filched from him. His'case
was a good'one, hut the other side had
doctored its witnesses—had "even "doctored 'the plaintiff's witnesses, too—
and—up to the time when he took the
stand himself not a jot or tittle of
. testimoney in his j*avor had" been recorded..        ■   .    '" *
"He, -as'v^ooff as. he was sworn,
turned to the justice*__-d said:
" 'Squire, I brought this-suit, and yet
the evidence excepting .my own, is all
: against .me. Nose. I don't accuse .anyone, of lying, squire, hut -thes,e. witnesses are the most -mistaken lot of
fallows lever saw.. You know me,
'squire. Two years ago you sold me a
■hoss for sound that -\_aV_u_ blind as a
bat. I madf the deal and stuck-to It,
and this is the first time I-have mentioned it. When.you used to.buy my,
grain,.-squire,. ypu stood on the scales
when the empty wagon was w.elg^edi
but I never said, a .word. Now, do j*ou
think I am the kind of a man to T_fc__
up'a rumpus and sue a'fellow unless
he^ has done me a real wrong _ Why,
squire.-if you'll recall that sheep speculation you and* n__t—* •
.^'But at-this point the squire,, very
red in the fac^, .hastily. - decided the
case in the plaintiff's favor."
Scion of the'/Old Elm."
It-has .been decided that the elm
tree growing within an enclosure in
Boston common ."is hot "a scion of the
"old elm," as practically every one
had supposed.
The_.cbmmittee appointed to investigate consisted of JWilliam C. Bates,
Thomas W. Silloway and Charles F.
Read and their finding is that the pres-
. ent elm was brought from a nursery
In-Dorchester-and planted on the site
of the "old elm" tree by City Forester
John Galvin. However, they find that
.thgre is a real scion of the old tree
that grew from the foot of the original elm and was set out about fifty-
three feet from it and is in a flourishing condition. Another scion is growing near the Soldiers' monument. This
tree was propagated from a cutting by
Thomas S. Adams, an old-time police-:
man, and it was transplanted during
the administration of Mayor Hart.—

WHAT PUZZLES THE SENATOR
Statesman Wants to Know Why Cats
Discriminated Against Cross-
Eyed  Brother.
A senator came into the cloakroom
______ rather pensive mood and-stood
silent for some _ninutes_—thoughtfully,
smoking. It .was supposed that some
problem of legislation lay heavy. oil
his'mind, until he broke''the silence,
"without even -ar prelude:
•*- "I have been bothered vwith rats and
it makes me nervous because. I'have
.been ,reading so much about the "bu-
boriic'p'iague.'* We had six cats in'the
house,* but suddenly .five .left, leaving a
lonesome Tabby.'i tried a ball of yarn
on'him. Every time he jumped after
that ball he. struck wide of'the mark.
Then I caught him, looked closer at
him. and, behold} .the cat was . crosseyed!
"What puzzles me ^now is to decide
whether or not'tlfereis an aristocracy,
of cat life -into which- a crooked-eyed
cat cannot come. He' was evidently an
outcast and (a .pariah with his. kind,
for he carefully kept his corner, all the
time the' other cats 'were 'around.' Now,,
the"'rats left with- the cats, and what
I want'-to know is. whether-there Is
not some feeling of caste-among rats
as.well as cats in refusing, to. even associate with a cross-eyed cat,.- ..No bubonic plague, gentlemen, with" crosseyed cats available. It's in the ': old
Hindu Hoodoo' book."—National Magaf
zirie.  ." - * -   _■'•.    •.- ..      i
Better Even Than* Eels.
Many African tribes_ count snake
flesh among the delicacies, and John^
Ward.'says that with the Australian"
natives "a dish of snakes is a much-'
esteemed luxury." Many kinds of
birds eat snakes. Pigs are particularly''fond of them, as-also are some
deer;-.but in*.the old days it was un-:
rstodd.that'deer onlyv'ate snakes in'
mer, for -which reason their venison* was at that time poisonoue, a*
sagacious.fiction" which it was doubt-;
less *well to make widely knojyn iff
times when there was abundant-temptation, to .deer stealing and regulations
concerning closed seflsons would have,
been treated with indifferent respect.
Pig Loose in Ballroom.
Somewhat of a sensation was.
caused at Stamford, Conn., at an. assembly dance given by Stamford's:
exclusive, social set, when a little pig
was led- into the _ballroom by two
young men and turned loose. The pig
ran sqealing about, and some of the
[ladies climbed On'chairs,- presumably
'thinking of rats. When the/ discovered ^that it was'5 just a harmless little
pig they -joined .in the chase about
thei-h allroom - floor.
The seated little porker was..finally
.captured "and taken out of "doors. The
.prank was enjbyed'by everyone.

Ignorance of danger, is. but common
bravery; * and does not" deserve _pjj>.,

the result with calmness and unyi.ld-
