\ Judge Meets Friendly Stranger

Judge Potter, while at Los Angeles,
Cal, recently, was walking in the
street, when an impressive looking
stranger stopped him and said: Judge,
how are you? How is BurleighP |
received letter from him the other
day, How's Stark and Gus?" Bur
leigh and Stark are well-but who is
Gus?' asked our distinguished towns
man. Gus Cooke was the reply.
my named is Howard. | married at
Fort Plain. Ny wfe's name was Rice,
and she hailed from Fort Ann. have
been spending the winter at New Or
leans for Mrs, Towards health. We
just arrived here and will remain a few
days" Judge Potter at first thought
the man honest, and he said to him
that he was going to the ticket office
to inquire about the Yosemite Valley
route, The stranger said that was
where he was bound and the two walk
ed along together The stranger
pointed out city lot which he thought
of buying as an investment, and asked
advice on it. He then took lottery
ticket from his pocket and said he
bought it Of q Sister of Charity at New
Orleans, also remarking that he urged
the woman to keep it and the s. he
paid her besides, and if it drew prize
to present it to the hospital in his name.
The woman refused, as she said it was
contrary to law. BY this time Howard
stopped and said: Here is the agency
for the lottery. lets 90 in and see
whether have been lucky The Of
flee and attendants were impressive,
and the stranger threw down his ticket
and asked if it had drawn anything.
The agent looked at it, and then in
moment said: Yes, sir, it has drawn
SOL. Here is 800; we never return
fractional parts of IS; we will give you
other tickets. Here is a one-dollar
chance to try your luck again" point
ing to an apparatus seen in gambling
places. The man urged Judge Potter
to try his luck with him, but the judge
had smelt q rodent of mammoth pro-
portions and he declined, but, at the
request of Howard, he placed his finger
on certain Inquire, anu uollcHI i"'ct
the proprietor cried out: You have
drawn $1,000, handing two one-thous-
and dollar packages to Howard, who
put one in his own pocket and passed
the other to Judge Potter with the re-
mark: Judge, this is yours The
money was declined. BY this time
Judge Potter, having seen all he
wished, said; Gentlemen, am
Judge in New York state. If you are
ever brought before me for playing this
game there you will be sure to receive
all the law allows such rascals. Good
day." And he was oil. The rascals
were arrested the same day for carry
ing on the bunko business. and if CAL
ifornia judges are like Judge Potter
they will wish they hadn't dono it.

A Spanish Breakfast.

The day opened for US, not earlier
than O'Clock, with q characteristic
Spanish breakfast-an unctuous. abund-
ant meal that would have made the
governor of Barataria smack his thick
lips, but seemed rather oppressive to
our less robust appetite. A leg of NUT
ton, cunningly stuffed with cloves Of
garlic in every fold and Granny, and a
thick S0pa, or soup, of the consistency
of porridge, and yielding, on rough
analysis with a spoon, eggs, bread
crumbs, minced meat and flour, made
up the solid body of that breakfast.
Refreshing liquids were conspicuously
absent, so were butter and cows milk.
for the herds were up mountaineering
for the summer season on the highland
pastures around the Maladetta, and
milk, beyond the niggardly supply
from the town goats, was not to be had
even for distinguished strangers. We
had wines of two kinds, one sweet, the
other fennel-tlavored, and both abom-
Unable, and chocolate of course, was
not wanting, very rich and aromatic.
no doubt, but no more entitled to rank
rs liquid or stimulant than mo-
lasses. The meal on that morning, as
on every succeeding one, and as the
dinner every evening was wound up
with cheese and plate of sugar al
monds, doing duty for the poStreS or
after dishes of Spanish gastronomy.
Antonio always directed personally the
operations of the serving-woman during

he would order on the lump of leathery
Spanish cheese and the handful of
sweetmeats, with an imperious-"Los
postres, Theresa was generally too
much for our gravity. Dinner was
made up in much the same way as
breakfast, and the only striking varia-
ton in the first DAYS menu we had in
the course of our weeks stay in Venas-
que was an occasional 0'ia-Irish stew,
with the potatoes left out--a dish of
stewed is.ard or Pyrenean chamois,
and two trout as large as a gudgeon,
which an enterprising Spanish youth
had discovered in the Essera. Garlic
apart, however, the food was good and
clean, and never-failing attention of
Antonio and his household made us all
confess that the garlic and wine, with
human kindness, were better than the
proverbial stalled OK without it, We
got rid of the garlic for all that. 1t

out wounding national sentiments,
but we carried our point smoothly
enough by setting down our dstaste
