TREED BY A COON.
How a Darkey Walter Got Even with u
Judge Who Wouldn't Eee Him.

As We got into South Carolina We
were Joined by judge from Pittsbure.
forget Just what count he was Judge OF,
but he was travelling South for his health
and had just figured up that he had paid
out S25 in fees to walters and was mad
all the way through. He vowed by his
badness that he wouldn't pay out an
other red cent and we encouraged him
as hard as we could.
When we went up to the hotel the
landlord gave us big room with three
beds in it. \ BIG negro brought up the
trunks, and when he was ready to 90 tt e
Judge called to him and said:
"Colored person, stand up now. | want
10 say to you tnat shall eXpec' proper
service without fees. You have brought
up my trunk; that's all right-it was
your business to. | shall want water
and may want fire and | shall proba-
blv want you to go of errands, but If you
even look fees at me-I'll throw you out
of the window"
We were there two days, and the
waiter was vigilant, humble and willing,
but as we made ready to depart the
morning of the third in comes consta'
BILE with warrant to arrest the Judge
for personal violence.
1t took two of us to hold the Judge
down on his back during his first parox
ysm, and when he cooled off a little the
negro slipped into the room and said:

to say to you dat five-dollar bill settles

Wanted Her Walked Through.

The other night at Compton Hall a
masquerade ball was in progress. We
put OH black dominos and joined the
revelers. A quadrille was about to be-

lace mask, seated on bench along tue
wall

boldly.
"Well, had partner for the dance,
but guess he amt going to turn up
she answered, in that tiny voice that be-
tokens the democracy.
We Joined set which was forming
near bv, and the dance struck up. AT
the calls to swing partner or vis-a-vis,
each couple would embrace and indulge
i'm a half-ininute waltz. To be in the
fashion l did likewise, my partner moth,
ing averse.
Looking around after the first iignrc
noticed that a short little man in oul
own set was cIsring az me in the most
ferocious manner through the eye-holes
of his sky-blue mask. i glared back
undaunted. The second figure was
danced with more turns and more waltz
inc. The little brute glared fiercer than
before. Presently, as | passed him in
the dance, he hissed in my ear:
"Just walk my wife through the rest
Of this, will you?"

Didn't Deserve IL.

If YOU had looked plump into his eyes
and saw the roguish twinkle, you would
never have been taken in by the ver-
dant youth, who had, apparently, just
arrived from the interior of the State.
He made desperate effort to conceal
his greenness. Yet she was trifie too
fresh when she attracted his attention
ON the street the other evening. She
wound her arms around his neck and
permitted her love to go out 10 him; she
bathed him in wine, and in the ec-tacy
of delight he could only explain:
81 don't deserve all this "
This seemed to increase her d, votlon
to him, and her warm tears OF love wash
cd his flushed cheeks
"I really don't deserve all this"
"Yes you do, dearie. | know L can
win YOUR love- And more love and a
frightened embrace followed.
"My Cd, don'tdeserye all this hap

The darkest eyes Cf loveliest light

The sweetest odor Summer knows
Exhales from rosy lips, ween;
The sweetest rosebud mouth that blows

The softest light of darkness made

The brow of radiant Adeline.
