FRIDAY,'MAY 31, 1878,

The Evanio Order In tho Oldon
Time.
Among those who sought n homo in
Wisconsin, in tho <lityh “when wo till
went gipsoying,” whs a long lank spec
imen of humanity from tho ohl slate
of wooden nutmeg notoriety, who
must hav 0 bent fed on shoe pegs, ami
inolasses, when u boy, so preen and
transparent was ho in his appearance.
Ifo claimed to ho a lawyer hy profes
sion, hut was in fact short of briefs,
as well as the ability to obtain them
a loafer, who, after having visited
nearly every town in tin. stale in
search of one large enough to contain
him, giving to each in turn a week or
imoo of his valuable lime, and beat
ing tho hotels out of his hill, pronght
up finally in that well known locality,
Mineral Point, where pleased with
the natural beauty of the country as
well as the innocence of the people, he
decided to locate, rented an office and
liout his shingle, announcing to
the natives of that pioneer bo rtf, that
Mr. Jones had“arrovo” and was ready
for business.
Of all places on (Ins green earth for
fnn or rnisehiof and clearing the enh
wobHofself conceit and pride, from
the cocoanulsof all who were troubled
that way, that rough old mining ham
let in those early limes could not he
heat. Only let those wild hanim
“rtcaruin" miners once get the pins set
up on any one who thought himself
small, ami “0, for (Jodsake let me get
out of this blasted town,” would lie
the burden of his song in less than
twenty-four hours. <'oiise(|iiently, no
sooner had Ihe hoys became aware
Unit Mr. Jones had arrove, as I be shin
gly announced, and ready to bring (he
Weight id' his massiveintellue.t to hear
in settling their little differences,
whim a suit fur assault ami battery
was - at once improvised, in which
Jones was retained for the defense,
ami Mint old veteran, Moses M. Strong
for Ihe plaintiff, resulting of course,
a; did tlm famous suit of Hyde vs
Morgan so graphically described by
Mark Twain in his "Houghing it," in
a victory for plaintiff 1 , although clear
ly against both law and evidence.
The wrath of Jones at Mm rendition
of this verdict was terrible. He cursed
11ml sworn fearfully, called (lie jury a
set of ignorant fools, and Mm Justice a
bigoted ass, ami expressed ids deter
iniimlion to leave the place Mmu and
there, when he was incidentally made
aware I hat being an outside Barbarian
was the sole cause of his defeat, and
that only hy connecting himsell with
the ancient Oriental Kvanic order of
the 1001 could ho over expect
to rise to prominence in Ids
profession, or secure (he practice and
hamllu Mm stamps of belligerent Min
eral Coin tors, much less to obtain jus
tice tu (lit even if the law ami
evidi uce was ail on ids side. The bait

Mineral Fodders of nolo, all stars of
the llrst magnitude in Mm order, and
men of renown, were duly assembled
in (he < 'oll rt. House for the purpose of

they did, “you bet.” He looked, w)n’ii

For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
original color , with th s and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can "o
fitore the hair where tho follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
ami decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling tho
hair with a pasty' sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent tho hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can bo found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam
brie, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
