A Great Tribunal.

A well known Arkansaw planter,
having become involved in a law suit
with tenant, was summoned to APP
pear before Flat-nose Phil, a negro
justice of the peace, and show cause
why he should not pay the plaintiff
seventy-tive dollars. The case was de-
cided against the planter He arose
and said:
Your honor, l propose to take an
appeal to higher court"
''Whar yer gwine ter find it?' asked
the justice, putting his kidney-hoof on
the table.

Now that Mr.. Henry James has found
so many capital subjects for burlesque
among the people of Boston, it is q
matter of wonder that some other nov
el-writer does not deal in similar strain
with a one-time resident of that city
who was an eminent author. The lit
erary gentleman in question lived in
Mount Vernon street one winter re-
Gently, and kept the whole neighbor-
hood in an uproar with his NERVES.
All the cats had to be killed so that
his slumbers might not be broken by
their midnight cries, the servants went
about in list slippers and spoke with
bated breath, and every bell in the
house rang with a muffied tongue
Even to this day that season is named
THAT terrible winter And the voice
of rumor whispers that the nervous
autocrat who thus made life not worth
living in his environment bore the
name of Henry James.

His Aunt'S Teeth.

quick, please"
The uptown druggist peered over his
counter at the customer and saw a
small o-year-old boy and a big New
foundland dog. The boys face was
dirty and tear-stained; the dogs face
was weary and lugubrious.
IAN emeticn' exclaimed the drug
gist, and then, seeing that the bows
hand clutched his gastric region in
agony, he hastily compounded the
draught and handed it over the coun-
ter.
Hastily the little hands clutched the
glass, and lifted it, not to the mouth
associated with them, but to the dogs.
Too much surprised to interfere, The
druggist breathed a mental prayer and
watched the proceedings. The dog
scented the nauseous stuff, touched it
with the tip of his tongue, shook his
head in disgust, and squatted down on
his launches
"He won't take it." sobbed the boy.

house like mad because she can't find
them, and want to get them out of his
body before she finds out where they
are. Oh, sir, do help me. or I'll be
whipped to death if Aunt Julia finds it
out. Besides, she can't eat mouthful
of dinner until she gets them"
The druggist took pity on the child.

ated the dog into permitting his inter-
nal regions to be revolutionized, and in
a short time smile came over the
boy face and he hurried home with

A Rich Mans Wife.

The big society people, writes a New
York correspondent, are not all the
big millionaires. In fact, the princes
of finance do not enter society, at all,
and their representation in the social
circle is feeble at best. The very rich
families keep in the background, in
fact. if indeed they do not gradually
gravitate into retirement.
The only one of the Vanderbilts who
cuts any brilliant social figure is Mrs.
Frederick Vanderbilt. She is gay and
enjoys the world.
''She incurred the displeasure of old
man Billy" said a prominent New
York society man to a reporter, ''for
being much older than Fred when she
married him. But she controls and
guides her young husband and keeps
him out of the scrapes the other boys
have got into"
Then there is a division in the
family?"
80 far as Mrs. Fred is concerned.
The old man doesn't like her and she
doesn't like the old man, and neither
is backward in showing it."
"She takes charge of her husband,
you say?"
Eyes, and manages all his money
for him. The result is, he is the only
one of the Vanderbilts who hasn't
been played for sucker in Wall street."
''She must be a smart woman?"
"She is-you bet on it."
''Then why does the old man dislike
her?''
Because she's smarter than he is
himself He remembers that the COM
modore's wife was much older than he,
and that she led him to fortune. Billy
objects to the fate that keeps the Van
derbilts in leading-strings and led
around by the nose by women, how
ever handsome, or accomplished, or
smart"
''But most of the millionaires trace
their success back to the wives of the
founders of their houses, don't they?'
mo, they don't if they can help it,
but it's true all the same. The COM
modore's wife showed him how to
make money and save it, sixpence at
time, before he had bank account;
old John Jacob Astor was simply the
agent of his wife, who rad the business
tact of the firm. The millionaires
were made rich by their wives, and in
every instance they were older than
their husbands.
Then what is the matter with King
William"
He is sore because Fred has struck
the family tradition, and. according to
the rules. is going to build up for
tune as big as the original without his
add
"He regards Mrs. Fred, then, as q
sort of rival?"
You've grasped the subject. The
old man is jealous"

1.-THE Tusky Boar"

The device of boar was used by
Richard Ill. before he was king. and
when duke of Gloucester he had a pur-
suivant named Blanc Sanglier. His
cognizance was a rose supported on
the dexter side by a bull, badge of
the house of Clare, and on the sinister
by boar, which boar he had found
among the badges CT the house of
York. 1.-The latter he selected for his
own personal device, and it was that
by which he was generally designated,
as we know by the doggerel, which is
said to have caused its composer to be
shortened by the head and four quar-
ters:"
1.-The Rate, the Cat, and Lowell our dogge,
Rule all England under the Hogge,'
meaning by the hog 1.-The dreadful
wild boar" which was the kings crest.
But Collingbourne was one of the most
seditious of the disaffected, and held
correspondence with Richard and de-
served his fate.
when l meant the King by name of hog,
only alluded to his badge, the boar"
Queen Margaret calls Richard a
''rooting hog" and Hastings says:
We're to incense the boar to follow US,
And make pursuit when he did mean no
chase.
Go, bid thy master rise and come to me-
And we will both together to the tower
Where, he shall see, the boar will use us kind
ly."
Again, Hastings says to Stanley:
Come on, come on, where is your boarspear
man?
Fear you the boar and go so unprovided?'
On the occasion of Richards second
coronation at York, Piers Courteis,
keeper of his wardrobe, was ordered
by him to furnish, among other things,
a standards of sarcenet with boar,
$4,000 quinysans of fustian, with
boars." Richard bestowed upon
Queens College, Cambridge, a seal
whereupon was engraved his cogniz-
ance, the boar. Nor was the bristled
boar wanting at the battle of Bosworth;
for, gorgeously attired in splendid ar
NOR, and rendered still more conspicu-
Gus by the royal diadem, which sur
mounted his helmet, Richard rode upon
milk-white charger superbly capari-
soned and attended by his body guards,
displaying the banner of England, and
innumerable pennons glittering with
the silver boar. After his death, Rich
ards body was placed across his war
steed like hogue calf, - the head and
arms hanging on the one side of his
horse and the legs on the other side,
and was thus disposed behind his pur-
suivant-at-arms, Blanc Sanglier, he
wearing the silver boar upon his coat,
and carried back to Leicester in trophy
of the mornings victory. -BelgraUia.
