A misunderstanding man arrived

A studious-looking man arrived
OF an Iowa county fair with large
and intricate machine, which he
unloaded with great care from a
wagon. The Superintendent asked
him what it was, so as to be able to
assign it to proper place among
the exhibits. He replied that it
was a machine for making human
beings. II put the proper amount
of bone, muscle, blood, and so on.
into the hopper" he continued,
"set the wheels in motion, and the
result within an hour is a perfect
adult man or woman" The only
imperfection in his invention, he
went on to say, was that the crea-
lures thus made had no souls, but
he hoped soon to remedy that. He
was allowed to put up the machine,
and to explain 1t to the crowds, but
he was unable to get the proper
m Materials for a practical illustra-
ton.

A ModestgFee.

An eminent legal light OF Los
Angeles, who sometimes parts his
name in the middle, was the vic
tim of cruel sell yesterday, perpt-
trated by member of the police
force. The legal luminary yester-
day sauntered into headquarters, as
is his habit, when the irreverent po-
liceman informed him that q wo-
man, possessed of filthy lucre to the
amount of SIS, had been committed
to Jail and that he thought she
ought to be got out. The L. L.,
whether prompted by desire to
get possession of that SIS or inn
PEELED by philanthropy, of which
he has a superabundance, hied him
to the Jail. On meeting the i'm
prisoned female he said: madame,
you have been upjustly incarcerat-
ed, and if you will give me an or
der for the So belonging to you,
held by the Chief of Police, 1 will
see that you are liberated at once.u
Incarcerated Female - "The
what? Faith the Chief of Police
hasn't got five cents, much less
five dollars, belonging to me-"
l.. L.-"Well, you sign this Or
der anyhow, and pll get you out"
The woman, thinking, doubtless,
that she might have had the
money, but had forgotten all about
it in her obfuscated condition, final
ly signed the order, with which the
L.. l.. returned to the police office
and demanded the money. He
was put off, but feeling confident of
its ultimate possession he betook
himself to the court house and
filed an application for a writ of
habeas corpus. Meanwhile regu-
lar commitment had been filed
with the jailor, and when the mat
ter came up for hearing in the Dis
trict Court, the papers being all
regular, the application was de-
MED.
Nothing daunted by his failure,
the l.. l.. returned to the police Of
flee to have his order cashed, when
he was informed that there was no
such sum to his clients credit.
l.. L.-"What, then, ain l to do?
That blank writ cost me fifteen
cents. How am to get that back?"
A good.natured policeman there
upon handed him fifteen cents,
with which he left the office seem.
ingly content.

There is no nobler office in the
world than to nobly, honestly, pure
ly entertain the people. TO be
amused is to take the bitter drop of
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
nocently is a thing Of which the
proudest might be proud. The en-
tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude OF
every person; to make people
laugh; to carry them out of them
selves and out of the hard world
about them, is task for the noblest
intellect. Such things are accom-
plished every Sunday at Washing
ton Gardens. Be sure and come.

An Indiana Judge has decided
that courts have nothing whatever
to do with the records of churches.
John Wagner, of indianapolis, had
gone to court to ask that Father
Schnell be required and compelled
to produce in court the books and
records Of his church containing
the baptismal records of a little
daughter of Wagner, who was bap.
tized in his church according to
the rules and rites of the Catholic
Church, in July last, by and with
the consent and at the request of
the mother, Mrs. Wagner, who was
then in the city on visit, and that
Father Schnell, in the presence of
the Court, be required to erase, can
eel and destroy said baptismal
record. The Judge refused to make
such an order.

Weighing Only Eleven Ounces and Three
Quarters at Birth.

Mrs. George Fromm of 43S West
Fifty-Fourth street, is the happy
mother of fully developed boy
baby born on Sunday, and weigh
ing eleven ounCes and three.quar-
ters. The head of the child, al
though smaller than a small apple,
is covered with an extraordinary
growth Of light brown hair. The
features are regular, the eyes bright
and clear, and the skin is fine and
delicate. The arms are the thick
ness of an ordinary little finger, and
the fingers are the size of extra
large pencil leads. The nails, al
though not much bigger than a
good.sized pin-head, are perfectly
formed. An ordinary luncheon
basket is an ample cradle for the
babe. His height at birth was five
inches, and breadth across the
shoulders q inches.
Mrs. Fromm is pleasant-fea-
tured German, five feet seven
inches in height, Weighing 1856
pounds. He is an ex-car driver on
the Third avenue road, and out Of
work. They have been married
eleven years and have had five
other children, all of the ordinary
height and weight. Physicians
and others who have examined the
tiny babe, already named George,
say that he is considerably smaller
than either of the midgets at the
time of their birth, aud that if he
lives he will take the palm as the
smallest man in the world.
The child is to be baptized two
weeks from next Sunday in the
German Protestant Episcopal
Church, at Forty-third street and
Ninth avenue, of which Mrs
Fromm Is a member. The father
said: II hope the minister won't
let him fall in the font. He would
drown in a beer mug, you know.n-
