Here is a story which will probably ultimately find its way in a condensed form into the Green Bag or some other similar publication having to do with' the affairs of lawyers. It con cerns the admission of Attorney W. P. Miller, of Tombstone, to practice in Arizona. The story was suppressed at the time, for the rcasoa that Judge George R. Davis was a dramatis persooa, and it being understood that Judge Davis was without the slightest trace of homor, the attorneys of the Tucson bar, who were cognizant of the circumstances, refrained from giving it publicity. After Judge Davis left the bench so long a time bad elapsed that those who recalled the affair, seldom spoke of it as they had worn the subject ont laughing over it among themselves. But it was recalled lately by the presence in Pbeniz of Mr. Miller and Tucson attorneys in connection with the Da Bois gambling case. Mr. Miller wbo Sad been for some years engaged in the practice of law in Wyo ming, came to Arizona and set tled at Tucson. When he had made up his mind to remain there, at least for a time, he de termined to seek admission to .■a m .a . s t l (IIC IMI Ul IUC LUUUVy, BUU UKCU W. F. Cooper, then district at torney, to move for his admis sion at the next lav day. Mr. Cooper effusively consented to act tor Mr. Miller in the matter, and the Utter handed him a bundle of credentials. There was among them a cer tificate from the Supreme Court of Wyoming, hearty endorse ments from various bar associa tions, and other documents of a quasi-official character, besides numerous letters from influen tial and private persona, all highly commendatory of the character of Mr. Miller aa a man and hit skill as a lawyer. Mr. Cooper thrust the creden tials into his pocket And harried away. About that time he bad fast horses on the brain and the next apoearance on the street was in a sulky behind a horse which ha recently bought. Aa he was driving past Alexander Rossi’s saloon, Rossi, who had Jost bought Scott McGowan, a trotting stallion, stopped him to tell him about bis equine ac quisition, knowing just then Mr. Cooper was intensely Interested in everything pretainiog to th« horse. The Rossi horse was a blooded _A_1 _* a a. kuu m wivvihviv iuiiuu, wmnr family tree bore maay well dtadoguitbed branches- Roati had a typewritten pedigree of him, which, figuratively apeak-, ing, waa a mile long. He brppfht it to Mr. Codper. who waa than in some thing of a harry, and begged of Roaai to be allowed' to retain that lie might pernae at bia leisure. He crowded it into bis pocket aloag with Mr. Miller’s credentials On the succeeding law day Mr. Cooper waa ia court and moved tna admission of Mr. Miller. He approached thr bench and bended the sheaf of documents bearing on the ease up to tbeconrt. and Jndge Davis In his usual painstaking man oar bagua their persual. He finally struck one document which compelled closer attention than the others. His face wort a ponied look, and whan ha bad finished he beckoned for Mr. Cooper to come forward. Ex tending the document ha was trill bolding in Ma hand ha told the district attorney that it asamad to ba extnmaoas. Mr. a ..■■'MA. . v c LLL=—- ■ ' ^H=B Cooper immediately recognised the document and reached lor it: Judge Davis drew it back. It waa observed that the (ace of Mr. Cooper took oa a deeper tinge. The court said some thing to him iu a whisper sad Mr. Cooper resumed his seat, wiping fa flow of perspiration from hts brow. Mr. Miller was admitted and after court had adjourned and the judge bad finally retired, the attorneys gathered about Mr. Cooper to in on ire into the nature of this unusual by play: to in quire if anything of an incrimi nating nature had been dis covered among Mr. Miller’s credentials. Mr. Cooper did not then explain, but the latter gradually divulged what had taken place. He was asked what Judge Dstis had said to him in a whisper. It could not have been a reprimand, and ou the other hand it could not be conceived that Judge Davis had descended to the level of a joke. Bnt Mr. Cooper said that was precisely what bad been done; that he bad whispered to him that if Mr. Miller was possessed of as many pof nts of excellency as a lawyer and a man as that pedigree ascribed to Mr. Rossi’s horse and bis forbears as horses, * certificate from the Supreme Court of Wyoming and all the other documents relating to him were superfluous. news NOTES.

Uom« Baqilm Not many yeara ago a man up in Mecklenburg county, with some mechanical skill, invented an appliance for moving cotton seed from the old water gins then in vogue aod dumping the aeed into the creek. He thought he bad done his fellows a good turn by making the seed •levator.. About fifty yeara ago there was a law in Mississippi forbidding any one, under heavy penalty, to damp cotton seed into running streame. Cotton seed ia those days were a nui sance. Whet a change in the vain* of cotton seed then . aad now? A bushel of cotton aeed now will bring about half as much as a bushel of corn will bring when put on the mark*. Instead of being simply a gully filler, aad a poor gully filler at that, cotton aeed have attained a place along by the aide of com and wheat, aye, more than that, for cottoa seed competes with the stock pen, the dairy end the olive yard in the production of food. From a nuissnee to our fathers the lowly cotton seed has de veloped into e rich inheritance to os, the last census showing that the by-products of cotton seed amounted to forty-two mil lion dollars. Do you ask what some of these by-products are? Why. the butter that lots of folks use swear that they can detect the very "flavor* of the cow it grew in form of cotton seed on the hill-side. They make batter, plenty of it, oat of cottoa aeed. That the finest "pure leaf lard” is nothin? more nor leu than Cotton teed oil ia a matter of common knowledge. There is not near so mach dyspepsia in that cotton aeed lard aa there is in the fat ol ihe bog. Tbt "pore olive oil" ia a fancy bottle with a beautiful green label on it and with the French name thereon never saw the olive yards of southern France. Cotton seed oil is go ing to run olive oil oat of the market. The cheaper grades of woolen bats never saw a sheep. They are made of cotton seed holla. All these things are from the seed of cotton, not to mention the other better known by* products such aa fertiliser, cow feed, paper sod soap. Now, if we conld utilise the cotton stalk as well as we have learned to get all the good oot of the cotton seed, cotton surely would be king. That man who add that the down-east Yankee wonld get rich if be could grow cotton without the lint did not mias the truth all the way. Probably Mutual. Loutnill* Court#? JonfMl. Dr. Madison C.
