SELF-DEFENsE.

Judge Smell Says Down the Law.
Judge Smell was engaged this morning in
trying serious assault case between two
boys in which the self-dofense law was
thoroughly discussed. The defendant was
13-year-old colored boy named William
Fillmore. who was charged with striking
Ray Bailey, a white boy, 10 years old, on
the head with brick, inilicting serious in.
iuries. Bailey took the stand and stated
that the assault was committed on Decem.
Der last, and this is the first time no has
been out Of the house since the assault. He
showed the Court CHASTITY wound on the
head, which was caused by the brick.
DIR. Hartigan, who attended Bailey for
the injuries, testified TO the dangerous char
aeter Of the wound.
Bailey stated that on the 9th of last
month he was with some boys who were
throwing mud at tho windows of the house
where the defendant was employed. The
prisoner came out, and after some words
about throwing the mud witness called
him liar, and no put up his guard and
witness kicked him. Ho then raised the
brick and struck witness.
Other witnesses corroborated this state
ment, but supplemented the statement that
Bailey asked the colored boy If he wanted
TO fight.
The colored boy made statement to the
same effect, and his counsel claimed that he
only acted in self-defense. Judge Smell
said the plea of self-defense would not hold
in this case. II was true that the colored
boy was assaulted first, but he retaliated
with more severity than the law allows.
It was also true that boys havo not the
discretion Of older folks, and that no mat
ter how humble our homes are they are
our castles, and we have right TO defend
them, and boy law Is not man law. If
person had right to seize upon every OPP
portunity like this to make deadly as
sault, our streets would be the scene of
murders every day. In view of the fact
of the provocation and the fact that
defendant had been imprisoned for one
a sentence of ono month additional.

The initial presentation of this screaming
musical absurdity at the Grand last night
went off with bang and one continuous
roar Of laughter. From first to last sober
face could not be espied among the good
audience. The irresistible "Willie" Mes
tayer, of course, was all that could be de-
sired-he always does give you all you de-
sire-"till You can't rest" His every move
earned for him laugh; his every lunge a
smile, so broad As T. Willie Rockingham,
the retired pugilist, he has every oppor-
tunity, if not more than in "The Tough"
to shine in those graces which so admirably
suit his "plastiquep and have won for.him
hearty welcomes throughout the land.
His voice is as fine as ever and his sing
ing aided materially in the rounded per-
Torrance. Miss Theresa Vaughn, doubtless
the queen in this line of character in Amer
lea to-day, gave her usual potpourri of
pleasing selections, and the numerous en-
cores she received were but foregone con-
clusion. The company as whole Is excel
lent and will bring eve, Us & Co." whore

dark hairs with gray. George looked
at his mother, and she seemed tired.
He looked at the wood-box, it was
empty!
II guess, mother, 1 will get you some
wood" said George, ch~eerfully. /
you are real good. 1 feel so tired"
When the box had been filled George
said: ':l'll go up and see how Nelly isl
She may want something"
81 wish you would, George. l was
going myself in a minute"
Nelly wanted water and the last Sum
day-schoel paper.
20 mother! there is the p~ost-ofice,
and don't you want something at the
store?"
'.There! I forgot all about the mail;
and if sou could go 10 the store III
bless you; 1 was going myself, but my
legs don't want to carry me-" >
From duty to duty George stepped
blithely, helped by the consciousness
that he was tightening the burden Of
another. What a merry song the tea
kettle hummed that night! Or was the
song in Georges own thoughts, and
the tea-kettle only echoed it? The
stove, too, here and there showed some
eye of gold that winked merrily at
George. After tea he sat by the stova
thinking owe Uncle Georges words,
and finally grew drowsy. He was so
tired! At last, that kind friend, the tn
itials of whose lame are A. f. N, and,
in full, An Evening Nap, so filled his
ears with soft thistle-down, grows on
the fields of Night, and hung s,4ch q
thick, woolly veil before his sight, that
he could not hear or see n ching.
Yes, he could see at last; and wbo were
before him-two secretaries of rIission-
boards, or two Uncle Georges? He
could hardly decide the question. They
were bald, had little wing-likf. tufts Of
gray hair, and wore go~iI-5ovved spec
tacles looking like cherubs.
Eyes, yes" said one; 1--WE must GER
tainly find out whether he has the mis-.
sionary spirit; and that, you know, be-
gins at home"
Certainly, brother"
"He who has a hand of help wher-
ever he goes, who is self-sacrificing,
who begins at home, as [ said. helping
father and mother, brother and sister,
certainly makes a good beginning"
Just so, brother"
ana This young man here. we'll
what shall we say? He did better to-
day; but he must keep at 1t, you know.
He must realize that he can be q mis-
sionary at home, and, if not, he will
never do for a missionary abroad"
You are right, brother. Why, the
young man acts as if he were sleepy.
Shake him, brother"
The two secretaries, or the two Uncle
Georges, now advanced, and laying
gentle hands on the drowsy candidate
-''Ugh'' exclaimed George.
"Why, George!" said his mother, runs
ming to. him. .:Did you hit your head
against the back of the chair when you
nodded? Too bad, dear! There, I
guess you had better go to bed. You
have worked real hard, and helped mo
ever so much. You have trotted round
just like a missionary" f.,
And George went to bed wondering
what led his mother to make the last.

Davies Idea of "Fun," and How He Put
It Into Practice.
Last summer Davies mamma read to
him about the poor little newsboys of
New York, and how some of them had
no homes, and slept out of doors all
night H.
Ell think that would be fun" said,
Davie. u
"Why don't you try it," asked his
mamma, land see if it is such fun to
have no warm bed and comfortable
roem?"
Davie thought about it the next day
He decided to see how it seemed t6
| sleep outside, like the newsboys. He
talked with his friend Will about it, and.
he advised Davie to sleep in his barn.
"You can have the carriage-robes for
a bed. and I'll bring you some things to-
eat, from our house," said Willie.
Davie liked his friends suggestions.
The two boys carried some hay to a
corner of the barn, and spread on this
the carriage-robes. Willie brought q.
jar of Jam and a piece of cake from the
house, for Davie to eat in the night if
he was hungry. Davie felt quite proud
Of his attempt at playing newsboy. Hs
said it was jus. as nice as being at home.,;
Willie said goodnight at SHUTDOWN.
and went away to his supper. Davik
laid down and tried to sleep. The barn
was large, and in the twilight seemed
lonely and dismal. The boards creakelt
every now and then, and Davies cou,,
age began to give out: He did not
BILE, after all. He tried to eat the ja1a
Willie had given him. 1t did not taste
as good as his mammals. The tea1a
came into Davies eyes as he thought of
that dear ann sitting now at tha
table, pouring the tea for his papa.
He thought of his own little bed and
his pretty room; the pictures on the
wall that he always saw the moment his
eyes opened in the morning. He started
up, and the olatter of his shoes on tho
bare floor made his heart beat fast. He
opened the door and ran home as fast
as he could. ,
"Why here's Davie::" exclaimed his
mamma, as the door opened.
Davie threw his arms about his mann
ma. 81 do love my home" he said,
as he laid his head on the dear shoul-
der; land 1 don't want to be a news
boy."-Alice n. Kellogg, IN Our LitAa
