The Chicago Election Crooks Baied.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Judge Gresham,
in the United States circuit court this
morning, granted q writ of error in the
case of Mackin and Gallagher, convicted
of election frauds. They were admitted
to bail in the sum of $4,000 each apd re-

tions raised sufficiently grave to war
rant him to grant the writ of error,
which would also operate as stay of
proceeding, This ruling, however,, was
not TO be taken that he would er5errule

CHlLDREN'S PORTRAITS.
The Difficulty an Artist Experiences Ii
Painting u Baby's Picture.

The Difficulty an Artist Experiences in
Painting Baby's Picture.
A great many children come to my
studio to have their portraits painted.
If they are Old enough to talk and ask
questions, they wish to look at my
easel and at my palette. The easel is
a sort Of standing frame, which has a
movable shelf to hold the canvas on
which the picture is painted, and
crank, by turning which you can raise
or lower the shelf.
When the palette is ready and the
canvas on the easel, am ready to be-
gin. AT first, perhaps during all the
first sitting, / only play with the little
child, or get his little brother or sister
to play with him until | see some ma
tural and pretty movement that is
picturesque. l like best to paint tive
children together, because that seems
to me the most natural way. So soon
as | have seen position that like,
l persuade baby to sit in q little chair
made fast on table-a " throne we
painters call thigh enough for
me to see his face opposite mine,
while | stand and walk back
ward often, to get the right view
of baby and of the picture. l have to
keep two things in mind: first, to paint
the portrait; secondly, how to amuse
the baby. If he is very little, we gen
orally make believe that am horse.
| tie the reins around my waist and
baby drives me. When l wish to see
him laugh, l caper about like a very
wild horse; sometimes | am an omnibus
horse, and stop every minute TO take up
passengers, and whenever we stop run
to my canvas and try to put in a good
touch. Sometimes, if baby will keep
very still for two or three minutes, l re-
ward him by being saddle-horse, and
take him on my back for a gallop about
the studio. All this does not seem to
leave much time to paint, and that is
Just the difficulty. If / made baby sit
in his chair, tired and worried, he might
look cross, and his papa and mamma
would find my portrait ugly. They
would say had not caught his sweet
expression" and other people would
not ask me to paint their children. That
would be very baG for me; therefore, be
it ever so difficult to romp and play and
paint all at once, | have learned that
with patience it can be re.-Anma

SHE WANTED THE BEST.

Il New York Lady's Experience in Buying
Butter of a German Grocer.
"A buXom, MISUNDERSTANDING woman,
accompanied by lad about seventeen,
entered grocery store Saturday even
ing in the neighborhood of Twenty
ninth Street and Third Avenue.
"Vat vas ityou want alretty?" queried
the clerk, ruddy-faced German with a
mild blue eye.

''Well, let's see it,
Several samples were produced.

pi der bound. B'raps you like to bite
sum of dem things" handing the
woman a cheese scoop to taste the three
samples.
She looked at them, tasted them and
smelled them, but none appeared to
give her any great amount of satisfac-
ton
And this is the best, is it?" pointn :
to the fifty cent article.

Your equite sure it's the best butter?"
''lf dot vos not der very beshtest dot

nit the whole shtore,n persisted the
blue-eyed youth.
''Then let me have half a pound of it, y"
and the woman planked down a quar-
ter. "Tie it up securely, as I've some
distance to go"
He did as requested.
''Now, let's have one of your cards,
because I've walked NEARLY all over
Yorkvillc trying to find a place where l
can buy good, honest butter"
The clerk, anticipating possibly good
customer, handed out card.
Nov, Johnny" turning to the lad,
'just write the boss name on the wrap
per, and let me see l think it's Just
about nine o'clock Put down the time,
too
The proprietor of the store pricked
up his ears like mule, as he saw the
deliberate manner with which the affair
proceeded. ''See here my man." re-
marked the purchaser I'm not sure
whether you know it or not, but there s
law which fines people one hundred
dollars for selling stuff that some gro
GERS call butter. l hope you're not one
of 'em. If you are, you'll hear from me,
sure. :" Then she gave the store door a
bang and waited on the corner for the
next uptown car,
Just as she signalled the driver, the
German youth overlook her and, showing
quarter in the boys hand, said:

and when they shouted the sound was
repeated, sometimes in one syllable, at
other times in two. Her question was
this: Can more than two syllables
ever be heard as an echo?"
Grandpa replied that, ''when several
parallel surfaces are properly suited the
echo may repeat backward and forward
many times. For instance, in Virginia
there is an echo which is said to return
twenty notes played upon flute, and
at Woodstock, Eng, there is one which
repeats seventeen sylables by day and
twenty by night. When the excIama-
ton, 'han is quickly and sharply
spoken, there returns back a 'ha, ha,

He was growing, hungry boy, and
could not believe that persons might
suffer more from thirst than from hun
ger.
HE writes: Grandpa. is water more

"Well," said grandpa, ''all of these
things contain a great amount of water,
and that accounts for your not being
thirsty Our bodies are composed most
ly of water, and will suffer extremely if
it is not supplied in some manner.
Water is so plenty that we do not real

QUEER THINGS IN PAWN.

False Teeth, Skeletons and Babies offered
by Impecunious Capitalists.
A well dressed man entered a Market
street pawn shop last night, and quietly
putting his hand to his mouth took out
full set of upper teeth, bound together
with plate of pure gold, After he had
rubbed them on his handkerchief he
handed them shyly to the clerk, and said
in stage whisper:
Five dollars"
The clerk handed the man the money
and ticket and he slipped quietly out
of the door.

RUNNING FOR THE TRAIN.

What Happens to Some Persons Who
Haven't Outgrown All Their Foolish
ness.
In every other country beside the
United States the precautions against
loss of life or limb by railroad trains
are greater than they are in this coun-
try. 1t may be high compliment to
Americans, and it is fairly earned. that
they know better than most people how
to protect themselves, but there is
always a certain proportion of rash and
silly men and women who must be con-
stantly warned or forcibly restrained,
from running into danger.
1t is for them that gates and bars are
placed at crossings in stations and on
the cars themselves. To climb over
such distractions, or break them down,
is folly,
One of the foolish habits, even in
America, is that of running after a
train. A railroad officer said not long
since that "Over half the people who
make the attempt to catch a train, after
it has started, get left, and some of them
are seriously injured, have jotted
down the results of hundred such at
tempts. From the notes on the first
one, | find he ran to the end of the
walk and finally caught the last car.
'The second one was on the next day.
1t CHANGED to be fat woman, carrying
basket of groceries, and | remember
how, just as she was about to hand the
train porter her basket, she studded her
foot and fell flat upon the basket,
crushing a paper of eggs and looking,
when she arose, much as if she had
stood under a shower of omelette."
The officers memoranda of few others
ran like this:
Lame man got on, but lost crutch;
train had to be stopped to recover it.
Young woman carrying baby, and
running at full speed, fell and cut child's
head on nail Middle-aged spinster
also took u tumble, and when she struck
the planks with jar, elected false teeth
in presence of nervous gentleman.
Drummer threw Sample-Case on rear
platform; it slipped off and broke open,
running some valuable samples.
Young lady lost hat and bangs, and
was half an hour trying to find a ring.
"Old lady fell upon lett arm, breaking
it below elbow.
"Bov caught on brake, slipped and
fell under the wheels and was fatally
injured. = YOUTHS Companion.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR SMOKING,
The Singing of Scotch Songs Recommended
as a Cure for Those Who Use Tobacco.

The Singing of Scotch Songs Recommended
asa Cure for Those Who Use Tobacco.
Prof. Blackie recommends Scotch
songs as a substitute for tobacco. This
somewhat alarming suggestion was
made in the course of ''concert lect-
ure he delivered at Manchester on
Wednesday,. "How people, he said,
''can get through their idle hours |
don't know. In railway coaches and
other places | see number smoking
what they call tobacco. Well, whatever
may be sa about that, it is not an intel
ectual or moral stmulant, and the flavor
Of it is not at all like the rose, or any
poetic thing know of. 1t is essentially
a vulgar sort OF amusement My amuse-
neut Is to sing songs. At home | am
always singing Scotch songs; and
abroad, when those wretches are smok-
ing, hum to myself Scots wha haze,
"A man a man for n that, and songs
of that kind" Prof. Blackio then adj
vised his audience ito do the same"
Their souls, he informed them, would
by this means become 'singing-bird5 :,
md the devil won't get near them" 1t
is earnestly 10 be hoped that smokers
vail at Least hesitate before they gener-
ally adopt this advice. Even those per-
ons to whom the oior of tobacco is
distasteful would, as a rule infinitely
prefer it to some Scotch melodies. The
Nation, has endured many calamitie4,
and borne them bravely; but it will
probably succumb altogether if every
moker takes to singing continuously
Scots wha haze" like Prof. Blackie'-

Why Wood Warps.

1t is said that wood on the north side
of tree will not warp as much as that
from the south side, and that if trees
are sawed in planes that run east and
west, as the tree stood. it will warp less
than if cut in an opposite direction.
However this may be, the convex side
of the curve is always toward the heart.
This varying, due to unequal shrink
age, and to the more open texture of
the external portion of the tree, is not
found to occur in the middle plank or
board of the log, excepting rs it may in
slight degree reduce the breadth. This
quality of not warping, which is in many
cases absolutely indispensable for GER
tain uses, as, for example, in the sound
ing boards of pianos, is secured in The
case of spruce timber by first quarter
ing the logs and then saving them with
the angle downward. 1t is then sawed
into boards very nearly at right angles
with the line of annual growth, and a
small triangular strip must be taken Oft
to make the board square-edged.-De-
trott Free Press.
