CUcmo Chronicle.
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

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

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.

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.
