Where They Found Him.

Judge Plat is one of those Texas
lawyers who spend most of their time
in saloons talking politics, or sitting in
the District Court room of Austin,
splitting tobacco-juice at the stove. Last
week he was missing. His friends be-
came alarmed. He was searched for
all over town, but in vain. There was
some talk of dragging the Colorado
River, but it was not carried out, owing,
perhaps, to Platt's well-known aversion
to water.
"Have you looked through all the
saloons?" asked one of Platt's friends
of crowd of searchers.
"Yes, we have been in every one OF
them"
Been to all the hotels?"
"To every one of them"
"Have you been to his Officer
1t had actually never occurred to any
of them to look for the Judge at his
office. That was the last place where
they expected to find him. He was
found, strange to say, in his Office, dead
-drunk.-Teras Stftings.

Tales OF Whistler.

Mr.. Whistler's bon mots are circu-

to make the bones of Sidney Smith turn
in their grave. He has his admirers, as

The Islands on the Southern Coast Of
Florida.

In the st. Lawrence there are the
Thousand Islands. Whether they fail
by one or two that complete roundness
of ten times one hundred lido not know.
On the southern end Of the Gulf State
there may be seen on the map a stretch
called the Ten Thousand Islands. He
was a very unimaginativs person, mig
gardly, having dread of exaggeration,
who named these wonderful islands.
He skimped his nomenclature. There
are not ten thousand islands, there
must be million of them, and more to
spare, almost all of them covered with
mangroves. To describe them were a
difficult task. may succeed, perhaps,
in giving faint idea of their number
by asking the reader to think of one of
those old mosaic floors the Romans de-
light in. The infinite countless little
bits of stone are the islands, the cement
the water. Island after island appears
emerging out of these blue bays. Some
are but few acres in size, then there
are others with an area of several
square miles. Now the channel be-
tween them is so narrow that boat can
not pass, and then it expands to mile
wide. Beautiful silent harbors are en-
tered, with peninsulas jutting into
them, and behind comes labyrinth. 1t
is an endless archipelago, all green and
smiling. A man might hide himself
here, providing he could only live, and
remain uncaught forever; tracking him
would be impossible. Only here and
there on some of the islands is there
the appearance of land, perceptible by
thin ridge. You can tell it by the
hard wood growing on it. Centuries
ago this island might have been on the
sea-front, and some storm threw up the
sea-bottom. Stretching then out in
every direction, these intricate islands
block the way There may be eight,
ten, or twenty miles to cross before the
mainland would be reached, that is, if
you had the wings of a man-of-war
bird, and could fly. In boat, work
ing in and out through this maze, you
would have to row maybe one hundred
miles, then finally you might fetch up
on Florida proper. This would be that
hazy country which little boys read
about on their maps, spelling it out,

The Farmer and the Small Boy.

A Farmer once put his dinner on the
fire to cook aud started for the field,
having first hired Small Boy to stay in
the house and announce when the din.
ner was cooked by calling through the
window; but the Boy deceived the
Farmer three times by calling him toe
soon. Finally the Farmer said to him
self: "This Boy is such an awful liar
that / will not come when he calls
again" Pretty soon the dinner was
really ready, and the Boy called. The
Farmer did not come, and the Boy de-
voured the dinner.
