PROVED HIM AN IMPOSTOR.
JudQtt'f Clever Bute Uncovered Trlcta
ery of Plaintiff.
Joseph Cboate, ttv famous lawyer,
related at a dinner party at Lenox
some Interesting reminiscences of th
bar and bench.
"A striking case.," said Mr. Cioate,
"transpired in the '60'b. It waa a case
of a workman who claimed to have
lost the sight of hla left eye la an ee
plosiri,
"There was no doubt abont the ex
piosion antf there waa no doubt that
the workman's eye had boen Injure,
but the physicians claimed that he
could see out of it, while be stoutly
declared that the sight waa utterly
destroyed.
"The Judge heard all the evidence,
pro and con. Then, sending: the work
man from the court room, he said:
M 'Get a blackboard and write a sen
tence on It with gs-aca chalk. Also
get a pair of spectacles with ordinary
clear glass for the text eye and red
glass for the right'
"This, In the course of an bour mjt
mo, waa done. Then the workman
was brought back and be waa ordered
to put the queer glasses oa.
"He put them on and the ludge, salft
to him:
"'Turn the blackboard rotind and
see If you read what Js written.'
The man read the sentence without
hesitation, whereupoa tho Judge said
to him sternly;
"'Vour case Is dismissed. You ar
an impostor. You mftst have read that
sentence with your left eye, for the
red glass over the right one turned
the green writing black and made U
quite Invisible on the blackboard.'"
BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTION,
President Buchanan Had Had Ail tne
Visiters He Wanted.
President Buchanan's home Btm
stands In the outskirts of Lancsster,
Pa. Buchanan was a close friend
of Abraham N. Casael. He was presi
dent of the turnpike eonrpany which
owned a road loading" trm Lancaster
past the Buchanan residence.
During the campaign nhich gave
PenusylYanla her only presided this
turnpike prospered on the tolls of
the callers who dally thronged to the
candidate's home.
"Abe," "said Buchanan one day,
"can't you abolish tho tolls, or give
a special rate, for all these people?
I want to encourage them to come
want 'em all to come."
Mr. Cassel promised to consult his
directors, and a concession was
granted.
After election cams the office seek
ers, and the home of the president
elect was compassed about like a be
leagured camp. Meeting him, Bu
chanan again entreated the road j
owner:
"CaBael,' he said, "for heaven's
sake keep 'em away! Can't you build
toll gates clear up to the sky so they
can't climb over?" Saturday JSrenlnj

Couldn't Afford It
About a year ago Sowell. Ford be
came a resident of Rye, N. Y. He had
lived there only a short time before
be disoovered that one of his neigh
bors was Simeon Fod. The revela
tion was made over the telephone.
"Hello !" said a voice, "la this So
Well Ford?"
The author of "Shorty" admitted
that it was.
"Well," went on the voice, "this is
Simoon Ford. Sona one's sent me
your meat bill."
"Good I Why don't you pay it?"
"I will if you'rl pay mine," said
Simeon."
At last accounts the bargain had
ot been concluded. Simeon runs a
feotel. Exchange.
CrleenM About Firearms.
A few days ago at Brockton, Mass.,
a 6-year-old child blew a man's head
off with a shotgun; at Bangor, Me,
a small boy killed bis Infant sister
wt:h a load of shot, and similar occur
rences have recently been reported
from other places. Ninety-nine per
cent of gun acotdenta might have beea
avoided by the exercise of a small

guns were loaded. To keep a loaded

Tha Farmers and
tbo Liberty Loan.
One aspect of the $5,000,000,000
loaD, the Liberty Loan of JL917,
that the farmers of Aaerica may
well consider ia that a pery great
portion of the money raised bytha
iBsae will come directly Into the
pockets of Uie farmers of the Ra
tion,. All of the rjoney advanced to
oar allies will be expended In the
United Btates and as they are
waking all , their awn munitions
practically all of the money ad-
Viced them will he epent for pro
ducts of the farms for cotton for
clothing and high explosives, wool
for clothing and leather for shoes;
but by far the greater part of the
money loaned oor allies will be
expended here for food products.
In a few aaontha the United
States will have under arms 1,200,-
000 men and 500,000 reserves in
training; bo including the navy
there will be2,00O,OOO meu that our
government will feed and clothe.
This will make the United States
government by far the largest
single customer the farmers of
America have.
The .secretary of the treasury is
employing such methods in hand
ing the Joan that no community
will be denuded of money by rea
son of Liberty Loan Iioud pur-
cuhasp, The money will be left
in local banks and as the govern
ment purchases food and supplies
the money is raieed by the bond
issue will pass back into the pock
ets of the people.
The farmers of the country
should subscribe to the Liberty
Loan Bonds. They get the safest
investment in the world aDd their
money supplies their best customer
the funds to purchase their pro
ducts. This is political, economy
the wisdom of which is plaia to
everyone,
