REGRET. Time was when twilight wrapped the earth Within its dim, enchanted hazes. She always met me at the gate Amid the sleepy snow white daisies. The vesper robins sang of love; The moon smiled softly from above. Her little hand reposed in mine; Her head against my shoulder nestled; Her voice was gentle as the dews That on the vine leaves sweetly rustled. She said whatever might betide Her only joy was by my side. The stars looked curious when we kissed. Full fiercely piped the jealous crickets. The fireflies round her golden head Flew from the misty meadow thickets. She seemed an angel all in white With airy little frills bedlight. But now, alas, those happy days Have vanished like a dream of heaven. She rides a wheel and never more I find her waiting me at even. In fact, we scarcely ever meet. We only race from street to street. In vain I plead, "Pray stay awhile And to my tender accents listen!" "But you must catch me first!" she cries With cheeks aglow and eyes a-glisten, And off she flies o'er hill and plain While I pursue with might and main. The moon has no more charms for me. I hail no more the restful shadows There is no balm in the sweet air That blows up from the twilight meadows. I scarce can tell her from a score Of cyclers when she rides before. O youth, too trusting and too fond, Who wears a heart with romance laden, Beware, I pray you, ere too late, The glances of a cycling maiden, For love himself away will steal, Changing his light wings for a wheel! —Susan Hartley in Boston Courrier. RESTED THE CASE. The October sun struggled in dusty beams through the grimy panes, on which the flies buzzed noisily, and the dust dancing light fell over the crowded courtroom. In the witness chair sat a long, lank man, whose trousers wrinkled over his boot tops. His face was brown and lean, his sinewy hands clasped and unclasped nervously, and his keen, gray eyes roasted fixedly on the face of the man who stood before him. The man in the chair was Vint Joskins, on trial for his life; the man on the floor before him was his attorney. The witnesses for the defense had all been examined, and now the prisoner had been brought in to tell his story. The preliminary questions were done with, and the attorney spoke to his client. "Tell the story in your own way," he said. The prisoner twisted his lean hands together and looked from the lawyer to the judge. "Go on," said the judge, not ful like. She were always mighty gentle an quiet an was always doin some thin for me, like she were tryin ter say that she thought a heap o' my standin up fer her. This were 'long 'bout harvest time, an I hadn't been feelin so good as then sense Lizzie run away. The women folks didn't neighbor much with her, but mam, she says the woman air a pack o' fools, an set a heap o' store by Lizzie. "One evenin I struck up with Nate Rogers on the road, an he says, says he: 'Say, did ye see that Deering feller ter-day? He were round by your house talkin ter Lizzie,' he says, 'an I seen her cryin.' 'Look here, Nate,' I says, 'ye mean well, I reckon, but ye remember that ye air talkin 'bout my wife now.' 'Oh, well,' says Nate, 'I didn’t mean no harm, on'y I thought ye orter know what was goin on,' an with that he took a short out 'cross the fields, an I kep' on the road. "It were just sundown, an I were walkin 'long the road, where hit rounds the hill 'long above the river. I were goin slow, thinkin over what Nate said, an not lookin fer anybody, when all o'a sudden I run against a man. Hit were Deering himself. He jumped a little, but says, cool as anything; 'Good evenin, Joskins,' an made like he were goin ter pass on. I resoned out my name an stopped him. "'Ye've come down here ter make more trouble where ye've made too much a'redy,' says I. 'Ye've come down here ter see Lizzie, my wife,' I says, 'but if ye make any more trouble fer her or keep hangin round tryin ter see her, by God, I'll kill yel' "'It takes a better man than ye ter do that,' says he, smillin ugly. 'I was a better man in love than ye, an I reckon I am in some other things. Ye fool,' he says, 'if I wanted Lizzie, do ye think she'd stay with sech a country lout as ye? She'd leave ye termorrer if I said the word." "'Ye air a liar,' I says, an he struck at me with a cane he carried—one o' them loaded ones. I ketched it on my left arm, an then I gripped him. He was strong as me pretty near, but he wasn't fightin fer what I was, an he went down under me heavy. My left arm were under when we went down, an I felt it sort o' give way, but I got a grip on his throat with my right hand, an I choked the life most out'n him. We rolled crost the road, an I was look-in fer both of us ter go over the side. We knowed hit were him or me, an he were fightin hard fer his life, but I were fightin harder for Lizzie, an I had the best of it. He done his best ter fight my hand off'n his throat, but hit weren't no use. I had hit gripped.

The man in the chair was Vint Joskina, on trial for his life; the man on the floor before him was his attorney. The witnesses for the defense had all been examined, and now the prisoner had been brought in to tell his story. The preliminary questions were done with, and the attorney spoke to his client. "Tell the story in your own way," he said. The prisoner twisted his lean hands together and looked from the lawyer to the judge. "Go on," said the judge, not unkindly. "I'll tell hit as near right as I kin," the prisoner began. "This man Deering"— "The murdered man," interrupted the state's attorney. The counsel for the defendant objected to the interruption, and the court told the attorney for the state to let the prisoner proceed. "This man Deering," again commenced the prisoner, "he come down th'o the valley when they built that there railroad two year ago. He was one of them men that lays out the way, an while he was in our part of the county he stopped at Sam Tice's. I seen him there frequent. I was sorter keepin company with Sam's girl then." The speaker stopped and looked toward one of the dusty windows. "Go on," said his counsel encouragingly. "Can't you remember?" "Hit ain't no trouble ter remember," the prisoner said slowly; "hit's the trouble o' fergittin. Seems like I kin remember ever' leetle thing. Well, Deering, he stopped at Tice's, an he was mighty soft spoken to 'em all, specially ter Lizzie, but nobody didn't think nothin o' that. When bad weather come in the fall, the men on the road quit work an went away, Deering with 'em. I was sorter glad whenst he went, fer I thought I o'd see more o' Lizzie. I didn't, though, fer in less'n a week after Deering went Lizzie was gone, too, an we didn't none of us hear nothin of her till Nate Rogers brung word that he sees her in the city. Nate 'lowed that she were dressed fit ter kill an were smilln an happy, an he heard her called Mrs. Deering. Then Sam he got a letter from her, an after that he an her mother got letters reg'lar most all winter. "One night in April I was over to Tice's, an we was settin there talking whenthe door open all of a sudden, an Lizzie walked in. It was a-rainin out, an she was all wet, an her hair was kinder loose an her dress was muddy. "W'y, Lizzie, child, where'd you come from an where's your husband?" says old Mis' Tice, an went like ter kiss her, but Lizzie sort o' sunk back in the chair she had dropped inter an begun ter cry, not loud, but jest a sort o' dry sobbin, like she hadn't no tears left. An then hit all come out, how she hadn't never been married, on'y thought she was, till Deering got full one night an told her. Then she come home. "An, mother,' she says, 'mother, I-I'm goin—goin'— An then she clean broke down, an we seen how hit was.

We rolled crossthe road, an I was look-in for both of us ter go over the side. We knowed hit were him or me, an he were fightin hard for his life, but I were fightin harder for Lizzie, an I had the best of it. He done his best ter fight my hand off'n his throat, but hit weren't no use. I had hit gripped. He hit me in the face an tried ter get his hands on my neck, but my arm was the longest. I pushed his head back an back, with him fightin a little weaker all the time an his face gettin dark. Then I felt us both a-slippin, an I managed ter jerk loose an fell back on the road, an he went over the edge. He made one grab, but he on'y ketched the loose rocks. Then there come a splash an a rattle o' fallin stones, an I knew he were on the rocks in the river a hundred foot below. "I laid there awhile, an then I struggled up an went home. The doctor, vander, kin tell ye the rest. He fixed my arm up that night an 'tended Lizzie next day when the leetle baby come, an her an the baby both died"— The prisoner's hands worked on the arms of the chair. There was a hush in the courtroom, and some one in the crowd sigged heavily. The attorney for the defense arose. "May it please the court," he said, "the defense rests its case." — Henry Holcomb Bennett in Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

It is the base that determines the altitude. And this is as true of men as it is of trees and monuments and chimneys. One must have breadth of outlook in order to be farseeing; he must have breadth of knowledge in order to be wise; he must have breadth of character in order to be spiritual. Lofty souls are not sustained by pipe-stem characters. Solid, ample character at the base if necessary for the highest type of spiritual manliness and womanliness. Spring Alliments There is an aching and tired feeling; the liver, bowels and kidneys become sluggish and inactive, the digestion impaired, with little or no appetite, no ambition for anything, and a feeling that the whole body and mind needs soining up. The trouble is, that during winter, there has been an accumulation of waste matter in the system. Herbine will remove it, secure to the secretions a right exit, and by its tonic effect fully restore the wasted tissues and give strength in place of weakness. 50c at J.P.Hatzfeld's, "The best repentance" says a psychologist, "is to up and act for righteousness, and to forget that you ever had relations with sin."

An with that she sits down straight an stiff on the other side o' the room an wouldn't say another word, not even whenst Lizzie got up an started ter go, sayin nothin but jest, 'Oh, mother!" kinder pitiful like. Old Tice he didn't dare say anything contrary ter his wife, but I wasn't tied no sech way. I jest slipped out'n the house aft Lizzie, an I got her ter go over ter my place, whar mam took keer of her.

You always know where to find him," said a merchant of a certain acquaintance who was prominent in politics, and who was an honest man.

A Sure Thing It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. Van Meter of Shepherdtown, W.V., says: "I had a severe case of bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of, but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's infallible for croup, whooping cough, grip, pneumonia and consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed by J. P. Hatzfeld. Druggist. Trial bottles free. Reg. sizes 50c, $1.00. FLOWER AND TREE. Keep begonias where the air is not too dry, and they will not drop their leaves. In watering house plants sufficient should be given to soak the soil thoroughly. A tree is nearly dormant in winter, especially one that has been lately transplanted. Plants in a dormant state require very little water during the winter, and an excess will cause decay. Dreuching rosebushes with strong quassia tea is a good curative of bugs and other destructive insects and pests. To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer full of sand, into which the slips may be set. Keep the sand the consistency of mud. Never give up a decaying rosebush until you have tried watering it two or three times a week with soot tea for a short time. Repotting of plants becomes necessary for two reasons—the plant uses up the available fertility in the soil and fills the pots with roots. To prevent crotched trees from splitting after they come into bearing twist and fasten two small limbs together, and as the stem grows it will prevent splitting. Cuttings of quick growing herbaceous plants, like heliotrope, verbena, phlox, geraniums, root quickly, chrysanthemums quickest of all. Choose cuttings when the plants are most vigorous.

ACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foot-lands, and 1481 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, providing excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts land at low figures, and on easy farms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a building and Loan Association, water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, rich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns a water and lighting plant. BRAVE MARIE. It happened in 1870, which is still spoken of as the "terrible year" in Bois-le-Duc. The war between France and Prussia had raged all about them, but not a soldier had been seen in the tiny village, for which the peasants daily thanked their stars. The old man who lived alone with his son Charles in the chateau above the town and who was still known as "le duc," though his title had vanished with his estates long before, firmly believed that France was on the road to ruin, but he scoffed at the idea that the Prussians would ever invade French territory. But one fine summer morning Bois-le-Duc was startled by the sound of martial music, and a body of Prussian soldiers marched through the town. Up the hill went the Prussians, and there, before the chateau, the order to halt was given. The old soldier had seen their coming and had prepared, according to his own ideas, to receive them. From an upper window waved the colors of France, and as one of the Prussian officers started to enter the house to learn the meaning of this hostile display he was met by the old man, who had dressed himself in his ancient uniform and stood, sword in hand, in the center of the room. "Ah, Prussian pig," exclaimed he, drawing his sword, "draw and defend yourself, or I willhew you down! No Prussian ever yet entered my house, nor shall while I live." His brave words seemed almost ridiculous when one looked at his white locks and shaking hand. The Prussian officer smiled at the thought of a sword combat with him and would probably have withdrawn, leaving the old man in peace, had not an overzealous soldier, thinking that his officer was in danger, rushed in and bayoneted the old man as he stood. The mistake was unfortunate, but the Prussian command could not afford to waste time over a single dead Frenchman. The house was fired, the soldiers marched on, and by the time the rear of the column disappeared over the next hill little but a heap of smoking ashes was left on the spot where the old chateau had stood. But the boy Charles, standing there beside the ashes of his father, swore to be revenge upon the Prussians. From that moment he was a man. On the afternoon of the day on which the Prussians marched through Bois-le-Duc Charles learned from the villagers the whereabouts of the nearest body of French soldiers and set off to join them. It was soon discovered that the strange silent lad was a valuable memorial, and when they were all out of sight she let Captain Charles out of his narrow hiding place. He had heard all that passed in the cottage, and he kissed Marie and called her a brave girl. Then he departed by the road opposite to that which the Prussians had taken, to join his men at their meeting place in the forest. Marie was the pride of her parents and the heroine of the town when her story was made known. And in the depths of the forest, when the franceure gathered about their campfire and their leader told of his narrow escape and the bravery of the little peasant girl, each man lifted his canteen and enthusiastically drank to the health and prosperity of Marie Duret. The landlady of the little vine covered inn at Bois-le-Due tells this story to every stranger who visits the place. And if one is inquisitive enough to ask what afterward became of the franceure and the peasant girl she will unfold her hands and say: "Just walk up to yonder brick house on the hill and ask for M. le Maire and his good wife. There you will find Captain Charles and his brave Marie."—Earl Mayo in Cincinnati Commercial Tribune The Critics. Flick—Call him a musician!

He had a poor and somewhat squeaking voice, he knew nothing of gestures, and he could not take an orator's pose, which adds such emphasis sometimes to the matter and argument to be set forth. Not all his years of practice on the platform and on public occasions ever changed his habits and methods as a speaker, and he ended as poorly equipped in the respects named for the vocation as when he began. But he had one prime quality, without which all the others are exploited in vain. He invariably had something to say, and he said it in such clear and wholesome English with such sincerity that he was an orator in spite of all the rules. To state it briefly, of all the eminent speakers I have introduced—and more than once—there was not one who gave better satisfaction, different and notable as they were, than Horace Greeley. As a consequence, he came to me oftenest and wore best.

One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaused county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of his jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. "I wrote to It was soon discovered that the strange, silent lad had a valuable member of the company on account of his knowledge of woodcraft and his absolute fearlessness. Important scouting duty was intrusted to him, and after a time he became the captain of the most daring of all the bands of the franc-tireur. His little company was a constant aggravation to the Prussians. One afternoon, shortly after the second visit of the Prussians to Bois-le-Duc, little Marie Duret was alone in her parents' cottage while they were at work in the fields. Marie was a comely little maiden, a dark eyed, brown peasant girl, and though not a dozen summers had passed over her head she was a neat, thoroughgoing little housewife. Although her home stood quite apart from the other cottages and not far from the great forest, so that it could scarcely be called a part of Bois-le-Duc at all. Marie had become so accustomed to playing the mistress for a whole day at a time that she did not in the least mind the loneliness. Today she had set the house in order, had swept the floor and had piled beside the large brick oven a heap of fagots against the morrow's baking. All her tasks completed, Marie took possession of a low chair and began sedately to amuse herself with a large rag doll, her one playmate and inseparable companion. Now, it happened that on this very morning Captain Charles, the franc-tireur, having gone out on a reconnoitering expedition, had been cut off from his men by half a dozen Prussian cavalrymen and had run for his life. The Duret cottage was the only one near him, and so while Marie sat talking to her doll the door was suddenly burst open and the soldier rushed in. Marie knew at once that it was Captain Charles, for she had often seen him about the village, and as she had heard of his brave deeds in aid of the French she was not in the least frightened. "Where canst thun hide me, little one?" the man hurriedly asked. "The Prussians are on my track." Marie had heard stories of the Prussians, and her heart sank with fear at the thought of facing such monsters. Nevertheless she showed herself a brave little woman. For an instant she glanced helplessly around the room. Truly there were few hiding places in the little cottage. Then her eyes fell on the large baking oven, and her busy little brain found a way out of the difficulty. She quickly bade the franc-tireur get inside the oven, and then she filled it with the loose fagota. Scarcely was her work finished when she heard a loud knocking at the door, and a Prussian officer entered. He stopped abashed when he saw only the little maid before him. Perhaps the thought of some little girl that he had left be poorly equipped in the respects named for the vocation as when he began. But he had one prime quality, without which all the others are exploited in vain. He invariably had something to say, and he said it in such clear and wholesome English with such sincerity that he was an orator in spite of all the rules. To state it briefly, of all the eminent speakers I have introduced—and more than once—there was not one who gave better satisfaction, different and notable as they were, than Horace Greeley. As a consequence, he came to me oftener and wore the best. We might or might not agree with some of his peculiar premises, as when he says, "The moment a drop of alcohol is received into the human stomach that moment the stomach recognizes a deadly enemy," but he set his audience thinking and illuminated his theme—Joal Bentor. Keep the Balance Up It is truthfully said that any disturbance of the even balance of health causes serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sickness, weakness or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, and should not be denied it; and the best tonic of which we have any knowledge is Hood's Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives it the same distinction as a preventative that it enjoys as a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old saying that a stitch in time saves nine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength and endurance.

I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice, although I thought surely I would die, as our physician told me I was more liable to die than to get well: your chief advice caused my health to be restored. I took five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, three of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and three vials of 'Pellets,' together with your other remedies, and I am now able to do all my work."

For an instant she glanced helplessly around the room. Truly there were few hiding places in the little cottage. Then her eyes fell on the large baking oven, and her busy little brain found a way out of the difficulty. She quickly bade the franc-tireur get inside the oven, and then she filled it with the loose fagots. Scarcely was her work finished when she heard a loud knocking at the door, and a Prussian officer entered. He stopped abashed when he saw only the little maid before him. Perhaps the thought of some little girl that he had left behind in the fatherland came to his mind, for the look in his eyes was quite gentle, and his voice trembled in spite of himself when he spoke. "We saw a man enter this house just now," he said. "Tell me, my little maid, where he is." In the moment, while she was waiting for him to speak, Marie had time to collect her wits and to reflect that the man did not look like such a monster after all. Now she replied readily: "A man? Oh, yes, a soldier just came in here and left that," pointing to an old musket of her father's which stood in a corner of the room; "but he is gone now," she added. She carefully related to the Prussians how the franc-tireur had taken the path that led from the rear of the cottage to the forest. The girl answered his questions so readily that it was hard for the officer to suspect her of deceiving him, but he ordered his men to make a thorough search of the cottage. They looked in closets and cupboards and rummaged the loft. One of the men in passing opened the oven door and glanced in Marie's heart almost ceased beating, but she gave no sign of her alarm. Seeing nothing but the heap of fagots, the man closed the door. Marie could hardly keep from heaving a sigh of relief. It seemed in her own mind that she must give a shout of joy. As they were preparing to leave one of the men asked: "Shall we not fire the cottage?" It was the usual rule when a peasant was suspected of harboring a franc-tireur to burn his cottage as a lesson to him and a warning to all others, but Marie winsome manner had touched the officer's heart, and the questioner received a curt, almost savage "No!" Marie watched the Prussians ride Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota vetod a bill under which it would have been possible for divorced people to marry immediately after the decree of the court. The measure proposed to repeal the law, which forbids issuing marriage licenses to divorced persons until six months after the decree is issued. MR.S. L. S. ADAMS, Of Galveston, Texas. "Wine of Cardui is indeed a blessing to tired women.

Y., proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, if they cannot show the original statement and signature of every testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing attesting the superior curative properties of their several medicines, and thus proving the genuineness and reliability of all the multitude of testimonials volunteered by grateful people, in their behalf. "I feel it my duty to write you as I have received so much benefit from the use of your medicines," says Mrs. E. Sando, of Elon, Iowa. "I was troubled with torpid liver, indigestion, and nervous prostration, for about eighteen months and lost strength so that I was unable to do any work. Consulted several doctors but without receiving help. They advised me to have an operation for gall stone, which I thought would be the very last step I would take. I then sat down and wrote to you for advice, some five or six months ago, and have since been taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery.' Can now say that I am well and able to do all my work, besides doing lots of weaving. In the last two months I have woven about four hundred yards of carpet and feel now that I will keep on with it as I like the weaving business so well. I took only eight bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets." "I will be glad if I can say anything to those who are suffering as I did." "I was taken sick nine years ago with fever." writes Mr. M. M. Wardwell, of Linwood, Leavenworth Co., Kans. "Had the doctor and he broke up the fever all right, but I took diarrhea right away; he couldn't cure it and it became chronic, and then he gave up the case. I got so weak with it and had piles so badly I couldn't die down, nor hardly sit up. Was that way two or three months; thought I would 'never be well again,' but picked up one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books one day and saw your description of catarrh of the stomach. I thought it hit my case. We had a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the house that was got for mother. You recommend it for catarrh of the stomach, so I began taking it. The one bottle nearly cured me. I got two bottles next time and took one and one-half and was well. I haven't been bothered with diarrhea since."

Hired Webster For a Week. Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at sake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there, he whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. You come down, and I'll fix it so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucket hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about $1,500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot.—Boston Herald. Forest Veterans. The largest British oak is the Major or Queen oak, in Sherwood forest (where Robin Hood and his merry outlaws shot the king's deer and robbed the rich and helped the poor and held their revels 'neath the greenwood tree), and is supposed to be one of a forest planted 1,500 years ago. The island of Man has the largest fuchsia tree in the world and it constitutes one of the notable sights of Ramsey. England's largest willow tree on record was grown at Borcham, Essex, and the smallest British trees are the two inch dwarf willows of Ben Lomond, Clwnag, whose orthography proclaims the land of the leek, boasts of a tree without roots, and the oldest trees in Britain are the famous Bentley and Winfarthing oaks, which were two centuries old when William the Conqueror's oak at Windsor burst from its acorn.—Philadelphia Record.
