A Court Which Allowed No Tramping
on Its Ooat-taila

An Arkansas man who was elected
from railroad car. shortly afterward
brought suit for damages, and, after q
long and interesting hearing Of the
cause, the Judge delivered the following
charge to the jury:
1.-The plaintiff boarded the train for
the purpose Of travelling short dis
lance. He had no n,oney-a fact which
he frankly confessed. There was plenty
of room In the car, 50 the plain
tiff was in no ones way. Tho train is
in the habit of travelling the road-in
fact, it has to 60 along there. The train
would have arrived at its destination
Just as soon if the plaintiff had been on
board. The machinery would not have
been worn any more by hauling the
plaintiff. The president of the road
would not have been in the least injured.
And now, in view of all these facts
that the train had to 60 anyway; that
there was plenty of room in the car, and
that the train would not have been in
jured by the plaintiff charge you to
bring in heavy Judgment in favor of
the plaintiff, and that as q healthful ex-
ample to all parties concerned, the con-
ductor be sent to Jail for six months,
and also thai the clerk of this court
furnish the president of the road will, an
account of these proceedings, together
with an opinion that he, the president
don't live far enough up the creek to
tramp on the coat-tails of this Court"

On Monday, says the Dublin. Ga,

potash to use on the mouth Of his
brother, who. he said, was salivated.
How did it happen3'' We asked,
thinking it n good time to point moral
that would put check on popular mis-
apprehension about calomel and cold
water.
TO-" said he, .'he took calomel. and,
without thinking, put his hands into
cold water, and It salivated him."
Tho cold water had nothing to do
with it, we told him, and asked II his
brother had eaten any fish.
Eyes" he replied, ''he ate heartily Of
fish after taking the caIomel. and sup
pose the fish caused the calomel to SAIL
vate him."

it than the cold water.''

Buying Gill.

Yesterday, though the weather was
bitterly cold, there was lull in the
storm, and word was brought over to
the saloon that there was to be horse
race between the Indians and half
There was q general stampede for the
foot-bridge, and / made my way over in
company with q cowboy, whom know
only as Shorty" As we were crossing
the stream he handed me handful Of
nuts, and remarked that he was taking
a pocketful over to This GIRL Where
did you get grip asked. II bought
her over here at the Blackfoot camp last
night. What did you give fol. her3'
.'rhirty-five dollars. Oh, here she is,'
he added, as q little 6-year-old Blackfoot
girl came capering down the bank to
meet him and take possession Of the
nuts. The little one had on new
dress, warm stockings. new shoes and
little black blanket, all Of which had
evidently come out of the store within
the last twenty-four hours. After load
ing her with the nuts. Shorty allowed
her to start back toward the lodge, but
thinking that her blanket did not fit her
closely enough, he called her back, and
taking off the empty cartridge belt
which held his own overcoat together,
he belted her little blanket snugly
around her waist and then sent her Cd,
the happiest youngster in the Blackfoot
camp. What will you do with her9' I
asked. ''Her mother is to keep her till
| 90 back TO Montana, and then I'll
take her down home and give her to the
old woman (his mother), and them"
he added very seriously, ''she's nice,
innocent little girl now. but il she stays
here she'll starve till she grows up, and
then go to the bad. I'll take her home,
and mother'll make woman of her."
could not help thinking, as went back
to the saloon, that Shorty and his
mother were likely to accomplish more
between them than many a pretentious
society of wealthy philanthropists might
do during prosperous career of several
