A FUNNY OLD STORY.

Tom Marshall was engaged In the trial Ofs case
in the interior of Kentucky, when decision Of
the Judge struck him as so bad that he rose and
said:
There never was such ruling as that since
Pontius PLATE presided on the trial Of Christ"
"Mr Clerk" )" responded the Judge, fine Mar
shall $40 for contempt Of court"
II confess, your Honor" continued Tom, that
what said was little hard on Pontius PLATE
but 1t is the first tine in the history Of Kentucky
jurisprudence that 1t is held that to speak disre
spectfully Of Pontus PLATE is contempt Of court.
"Mr Clerk, make the fine $40 for continuous
contempt" said the Judge soemnly.
"Well, Judge" Tom added, 'as you won all my
money last night at poker, lend me the twenty
Mr. Clerk" cried the Judge, remit the fine,
The State can afford to lose the money better than
can"
II congratulate the Court upon It's return TO a
sane condition" said Tom, resuming his seat
amid roars OF lsughter.-Cdpitdl.

POKER IN THE LEGISLATURES. -
Detroit Free Press.

In the years gone by certain Repre-.
sentative in our State Legislature was
supposed to Rave been seen" on GER =
tain bill, but as he kept his own counsel
no one could get any proofs against him
He had been elected as an honest, up
right man, and when his constituents
hearl the rumors against his integrity
they were amazed. A delegate was ap.-
pointed to 60 down to Lansing and hear
his side If the story, and when this man
returned home he was invited to make
known his researches before an open
meeting.
my friends he began, II went to
Lansing with the determination to sift
the matter to the bottom. l found that
s. was living high and dressing like
a lord"
A groan went through the meeting, and
men shook their heads in solemn way.
He sports gold watch and a cane,n
continued the delegate, and he was talk
ing of buying $500 horse to bring home
with him. You remember he went
away from here a poor man"
Then he sold his vote" shouted one
of the yeomen.
II confess it looked that way to mt at
first" replied the delegate, "but when L
came to tackle him personally he ex-
planned everything as clear as day. He
had not sold his vote. He had not for
gotten that al honest constituency was
behind him, and no morey could have
bribed his conscience. No, my friends,
there is no stain on his reputation"
"Then how did he get his money!"
asked three or four at once.
"Well don't know as l can explain
it as we'll as he did, but I'm sorry didn't

REST.
FATHER RYAN.

A'AfA@'s
My feet are wearIed and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed,
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only Rest.
IT'S hard to toll, where toll Is almost vain,
In barren way:
IT'S hard to sow and never garner grain
In harvest days,
The burden of my days are hard to bear,
But God knows hest:
And have prayed-but vain has been my prayer
For rest, sweet Rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
IT'S hard to till and when It's titled to weep
Ger frultless fields.
And so cry, weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed:
And so sigh, q weak and human sigh,
For Rest-fOr Rest.
My way has wound across the desert years
And cares invest
My path, and through the flowing of hot tears
Ipine for Rest.
Twas always So; when still child laid
On mothers breast
My weary little head-e'en then prayed,
As now for Rest.
And am restless stlll twill soon be Ger,
For down the West
LIES sun Is setting. and I see the shore
Where l shall Rest.

STRIKE FROM THE SHOULDER.

Strike out from the shoulder, Roscoe,
And lay your antagonists low;
Hit bribery and corruption
An honest, straightforward blow
The Half Breed Liliput statesmen
sleeping Gulllver found;
With hundreds of thl eads for cables
They tied him close to the ground.
Burst forth from the web Of the spider
And scatter the insects away,
BY using the strength Of giant
AS only giant may!
Let not the depraved Phllllstines,
While eating and drinking their fill,
Make sport of a fettered Samson,
Condemned to grind In their mill.
Grasp firmly the Half Breed pillars,
Put strength In your lOins and back,
And soon the great dome of corruption
Above them will shiver and crack.
Rise up in your pride Of manhood,
And show your full face to your foes;
Their methods, forbidden, abhorrent"
At once denounce and expose.
Strike out from the shoulder, Roscoe,
And give chem fresh surprise;
Hit bribery fully and fairly

INDEPENDENT FORTUNES.

The gifts are pouring in upon the fam
lily of the late President. Taking to-
gether his large life insurance policies,
his real estate in Mentor and Washing
ton, his personal property and the
subscriptions to the fund raised for him,
which already are over $500, 900 and
probably will reach upward of $500, 900,
Mrs. Garfield will doubtless have at her
disposal over half a million dollars. As
the retired life to which her instinct and
her affection alike prompt her she will
not expend even the annual interest on
this sum. Should Congress continue to
her the salary Of her husband as Presi.
dent through the term, she will doubtless
have, four years hence, at least 500, 600;
and her five children will probably in
herit independent fortunes of $3.50, 900

Resort.

Times-Review This forenoon two boys,
named Orrin Harris and Willie Triple,
aged about 0 or 10 years, descended the
ladder in a disused shaft Of the Young
America mine to the 60-foot level, where,
through some mishap, their lights were ex-
tinguished. While cropping about in the
dark, they both fell down al incline to a
further depth of from 60 to 100 feet.
Strange to relate, they both clambered to
the surface without assistance. Young
Harris escaped with a few bruises, while
Triple sustained severe wounds about the
head, and, it is feared, a slight fracture of
the skull. The shaft referred to was,
some months ago, a ~favorite resort of a
portion Of the youth of our town, where
they would congregate in numbers to play
cards, smoke cigarettes, and indulge in
other questionable practices.

A Cheerful Outlook.

The Cherry Greek News says the mining
outlook in all sections Of our county is
very encouraging at this time. From
every mining camp around us comes news
of tue most encouraging nature. Ward,
which for the past year or two, has been
under a heavy cloud, promises at an early
day to again resume bullion shipments on
a permanent scale. Taylor District has
already wheeled into line, and last Monday
shipped its first bar. 1t bids fair to keep
on shipping the shining metal for months
to come. Silver Canyon and our own dis
trict are regular shippers of the precious
metals. Egan Canyon is getting ready to
join in the chorus OF the stamps, and in
about two months will be ready to join
her sister camps in shipping bullion.
White Pine, we regret to note, is the only
district in our county that does not to-day
show improved signs of prosperity in a
mining point of view. With this solitary
exception, there is a general movementfor
the better all along the line of the mining
camps in White Pine County. We are
pleased to note it.
