"RILLYv LEE EXCITED.
Money or No Money He Thinks They
Are Going to ssDown" Him.

Judge Lee was excited. He was stand
ing in front of the City Hall and gesticu-
lating in a VIOLENT manner talking to a
couple of rather seedy individuals, The
reporter hurried across the street, but by
the time he got there the Judge stepped
inside the City Marshal's office. When
the reporter entered the Marshal was
leaning over the desk and his honor was
standing in the center of the floor, When
he saw the reporter he shouted:
Just look here now. 1 am able to work.
l am not afraid to tackle a pick and
shovel if the occasion requires it."
What excites you, Judge?' inquired
the reporter.
~ tell you L won't submit to it. L
won't have any more of this nonsense. l

shouted.

the Marshal, we've got them this

his honor grew more excited. But l

The Judge by this time was very red in
the face and so excited that his arms were
gyrating like a windmill in a gale. AT
the height of the excitement the re.
porter ducked under a convenient table
to avoid humiliation and finally asked il
the judicial gentleman had been boned fol-
money.
NO" said the Judge. 'If they want
money they can have that. l will give ii
them. l never refused to donate to ar
object of charity. But they say that
they'll down me. 1 don't want a walk.

The story going the rounds about the
senator from Arkansas who ate chunk
of soap, disguised as a caramel, and
never WINGED over the dose, brings to
mind little incident that once occurred
or is said to have occurred-ip Vir-
ginia City, though the story is not par
ticularly new. 1t was the custom in
those days to set on the tables in the
restaurants as a condiment dish of
little, but very hot pepper berry known
as the "chiicopena. Two Irishmen
walked into a restaurant and seated
themselves at a table. "Phwat's them,
Pat ?" said, one, pointing to the chilico-
penas. "Berries, [ tink," said the
other. Pat put a couple of the berries
in his mouth, and in moment the tears
were streaming from his eyes. "Phwat
are ye cryin' about, mon p asked his
companion. "Sure, said Pat, 81 got
a letter to-day that me ould mother is
dead" While Pat was saying this the
other man was chewing on some chilico-
penas, and the tears were coming into
his eyes also. "And phwat are ye cry
IN about?" asked Pat. " Sure, I'm
cryin' to think that your mother didn't
die before We were born"

Filthy Holy Water.
From the st. James Gazette.I

From the ST. James Gazette.
A terrible calamity has just happened
which ought to shake the Mohammedan
religion to its foundations. The distin-
guished analyst, Prof. Heaton, has
been making a chemical examination of
the water of the holy well of Zem-zem
at Mecca, and has discovered it to be
full of the worst kind of impurities.
Since it's rediscovery in the sixth cen
fury, by the grandfather of the prophet
Mohammed, this well has formed the
chief supply of water to the millions of
pilgrims who have annually resorted to
Mecca to pay their respects to the
famous black stone that adorns the cor
ner of the Kaaba. There was and is no
ailment for which Fem ZEN water is not
q sovereign remedy; and its effects upon
The mental powers are equally remark
able, so that celebrated Moslem re-
corder of theological traditions traced
his wonderful memory entirely to his
copious draughts from Hagar's we'll.
It is humiliating reflection that, owing
to the careIessness of the inhabitants of
Mecca in sanitary matters, this miracu-
lous water should be charged with all
sorts of impurities. But it is some con-
ISOLATION to reflect that if the well-water
could work such wonders 10 so impure
a state there would probably be no limit
to It's power il 1t were cieansed,

Gorgeous London Drinking Places.
tFrom the London Telegraph.

Strolling through the streets of Lon
don about Christmas time, one cannot
but be struck with the number and
prominent character of the public
houses. The last few years have wit
messed great many changes in the gen.
eral appearance and construction of Lon
don public houses; and these changes
have not invariably been In the direc-
ton which ardent teetotalers would de-
sire. Instead of diminishing in num-
Der and growing more modest In appear
ance, these places for the retailing of
spiritaous liquors have put on new and
attractive faces. All the changes are in
the way of glare and glitter. You have
to travel a long way in London, at
any rate-to find an old-fashioned, low
rooted, struggling hosiery. This class
of house is being steadily " improved
off the face of the earth, and the few
tep-room lingerers of the old sort who
still survive don't take kindly to the
meretricious attractions of the new
style public house. The grand old fire.
places and cosy bar-parlors of yore are
things of the past; while great glazing
facades and more or less tawdrily-
decorated modern rooms have taken
their place. The old-fashioned con-
sumer of four-penny haif-and- half is
almost frightened at the magnifcence of
the pier glasses and candelabra which
the modern Boniface considers essential
to his comm ercial success.

At o'clock Alice rang the bell with
feeling of utter despair; but no school
ever moved more smoothly than did her
school that afternoon. Quiet obedience,
study, good lessons, and respectful at
tention were universal. But Alice had
determined to quit the school; she felt
as if she would rather be the poorest
washerwoman than to be badgered, bull
lied, and tortured for months at time
by set of brutal ruffians, whose parents
employed her for the sole purpose of en-
during this martyrdom.
So when Alice locked observation-disclosures
door that evening it was with mingled
feeling of relief and humiliation that
she started to offer her resignation to

house she saw Jim Turner a few yards
ahead of her walking rapidly toward
home. She called his name, and he
stopped and respectfully waited until

she said, "I am going away in the morn
ing, and [ wish to thank you for your
brave defense of me at the school to- day,
and to ask your forgiveness for the pun
ishment I so uniustly inflicted on you, "
and in her earnestness Alice held out
her little trembling hand, and Jim in
stantly grasped it.

"you could not do otherwise and Meth
er could I; butyou are surely not intend
ing to quit the schools"

"But You will have no more trouble;
there is no one in the school that would
be at all likely to give you trouble, ex-
cept the Bradley boys, and as long as /
am there [ will answer for their good
behavior"
At last Jim's eloquence prevailed, and
Alice finally consented to teach week
longer, and at the end of that time she
decided to stay, for never did q school
move along more smoothly. At her re-
quest Jim was allowed to remain during
the term, and as soon as it closed he
went to college.
Alice taught the Bear Creek school

end Uncle Zeke's prediction was verified,

Cold Weather Hints.
(From Good Cheer

A folded newspaper, covering the
chest and shoulders under a cloak or
coat, will be found very comfortable in
extreme cold weather, especially while
riding.
A noiseless way of feeding coal fire
Is to put q shovelful of coal in a paper
bag; prepare ahalf-dozen bags at time;
use one or more as needed, and thus the
noise and dust generally accompanying
the usual mode of replenishing fire
will be avoided.
When about to take long sleighride,
make ready piece of joist (of any kind
of hard wood such as house-builders
use) the length of the sleigh seat and
twice the thickness of common brick;
heat it on the stove or in the oven. It
is surprising how very hot such piece
of wood will become without burning,
and how very long it will retain heat.
On such seat, and covered with buff
falo robe, have known people to ride
seventy miles comfortably, and the
wood to be quite warm at the journeys
end. A similar piece for the feet, at the
same time nicely tucked in from the
wind, was delightful.
Another fOOt-warmer, more easily
made ready and serving many purposes,
is bag of ed-ticking, fourteen inches
square. Bind the seams with braid or
a strip of the ticking, leaving small
opening until filed with sand. Make a
slip-cover for it, of any material you
choose, or crochet of some bright color,
and fasten with buttons and loops.
When needed, heat very hot in the
oven, put in its case, and it is ready for
use.

OF the toughest OF 'em; he'll be Fl in a
month, and you'll get rid of him; but
thar's the Brindley boys, they're mighty

Poor Alice listened with a sinking
heart. The cold, hard duties before her
we're dreary enough at best; but to go
alone and unknown into strange neigh
borhood to teach her first school, and to
be met at the outset by such dark
prophecies, made her feel homeless in
deed. She was naturally q timid, shrink
ing little thing, and if she had pos
sessed anywhere on the whole broad
earth a roof to shelter her she would
have turned back from Bear Creek
school even then. But she had no home.
Her mother had died when she was but
IA, and she had kept house for her
father two years, when he died, leaving
her all alone. Before he died he advised
her to expend the little sum he would be
able to leave her In fitting herself for
teacher, and Alice had fulfilled his direc-
tons so literally that when she had COM
pIeted her course of study at the normal
school she had hardly $40 left, and
when she paid Uncle Zeke for hauling
her and her little trunk from the nearest
railroad town to the district where she
was to teach, she had but So left.
On Monday morning as shestarted for
the school-house she felt as if she was
going to the scaffold. Her course of
pedagogics in the normal institute had
Included no such problem as this
school promised to be, and if it were
not for very shame she would have given
her single s. bill to any one to take her
back to the railroad and pay her fare to
L., the town where she had attended
school.
When she arrived at the school house
about twenty or thirty pupils were
grouped around talking, but a spell of
silence fell upon them as she walked up
and saluted them with a good morn
ing +" which was more like the chirp of a
frightened bird than anything else. AS
she unlocked the door and entered what
she had already begun to regard as
