A june WITH A WILL Judge Finley,
Of the London Circuit is taking the bull
by the horne In his effort 10 crush out the
whisky traffic in Laurel county. The peo-
pie voted for local option by a majority Of
about l25 but there was some Iniormality
in recording the returns and the lawyers
had pronounced the result null and void.
Not 20 did Judge Finley. He says the
sovereign will OF the people shall be res
pected and not rendered nugatory by care
less officials, and the wav he Is getting af-
ter the breakers Of the law, is a caution.
Several parties have been fined as much as
$3.50 and he always orders the jury TO say
In their verdict that the fine shall be work
ed out at 81 per day, II not paid or replev-
led. He got Judge George Denny pretty
badly the other day. Denny was defendi "
a whisky man In his usual vigorous man
ner and thought he had made good point
by proving by a witness that he did not
buy any liquor from him. lie had called
for q pound Of candy for which he paid
rs cents and pint Of whisky was thrown
in. Mr.. Denny went on 70 say that Il was
perfectly fair Transaction as the candy
was worth 70 cents per pound and II the
man chose 10 give the pint OF whisky il
was his own business. He had hardly
made the remark, Wien Judge Finley com
pleiely non plussed him by saying, "Hold
up your hand Mr.. Denny and be sworn"
Knowing better than to disobey, Mr.. d.
complied, when Judge Finley continued,
"You solemnly swesr that the answers you
give 10 such questions as may be asked
you, shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, 40 help you
God. Take the witness stand Mr.. Denny.
How much did understand you to say
candy was WORTH" Taken so much aback,
the witness hardly knew what 10 say, but
he managed TO stammer cut, Judge, you
must excuse me- | Was never In the confec-
tionery business and never aold pound Of
candy in my life." Tuning 10 the jury,
Judge Finley said, Gentlemen, II you
believe from the evidence that the defend
ant sold the whisky either directly or In
directly, you rhall 6ne him 10 the extent
Of the Law. Go 10 your room" And be-
fore Mr.. Denny could recover hImself, a
verdict had been rendered in the ease
against his man. Judge Finley says he
has no patience with those who would take
advantage Of the quibbles and teehnieali-
ties Of the Law and will not ALLOW such
! practice In his Court.

Dead Reckoning.

Lieutenant Brown was the navigator
of the brig Perry of the United States
navy a good many years ago, and on
passage from China to Mexico he al
lowed the chronometers (by which they
found the longitude) to run down. They
were bound to San Bias, and running to
make Cape ST. Lucas, which is high aud
can be seen a long way off. The cap
tain, Jot Stone Paine, was not told that
the chronometers had run down and that
they were depending on dead reckoning
for the longitude. Brown got on the
parallel of the cape, and steering due
east kept a'good look out ahead. He
kept foretopman at the masthead with
orders to come down and tell him quietly
when he saw the land, and not other
wise to announce it-promislng him a
bottle Of whisky in return. Accordingly
one dav shortly before IL O'Clock the
foretopnan came down and reported the
land in sight from aldt. He was told
bv Brown to return to the masthead, and
when the bell struck one to report it in
the usual manner. 4 little after u
O'Clock the captain came ont Of the
cabin and said: ~Well, Mr.. Brown
when do vou think we will see land?''

Brown, "at half-paft II O'Clock" lone

Just then the bell struck. and the

"And this is not all, sir. would learn

"you have chosen well. Heaven hath

And from that day Reuben was an in
mate of the parsonage, and that he pros
pered fast was no wonder either, for he
had, as he said, an angel and saint for
guardians. There were scornful looks
and naughty words in his aristocratic
home, when his proud relatives heard
that the heir of their princely, wealth
had turned student of divinity, and
would settle in an obscure village, and
there was much wonder among nis fash
ionable friends. But nothing could win
the young man from his holy VOWS, and
night after night till the stars waned
did he lean over his desk, that he might
the sooner be prepared for the pastor S
place, his only reefeation being his
walkstand talks with the gentle Lily.
Two years from the day he first en-
tered the little church as q stranger to
all, he was solemnly set apart to hy
holy work, the aged pastors trembling
hands being placed 1pon his head, as
with quivering lips he ordained hims a
Christian minister; and the same low,
lutelik voice tha. entranced him then,
sang now the hymn that confirmed the
rite.
At sunset, the holy Sabbath sunset
the little church again was filled
for before the altar stood the youthful
pastor to take new vow to his heart
one that bade him "love and cherish til
death did them part" the gentle being
who unconsciously had woke his soul tt
4 the sublimer view Of hfe-a VOW that
while it changed the 'girlish thing" to
a pastors bride, yet left her, as she was
| before, the Lily of the Glen.
