FOOL WITH TIE COURT.
A Hoosier Attorney Comes to Grief at In
dianapolis.
indianapolis special.

In the Criminal Court to-day the con-
tempt proceedings against Wilbur Royse,
an attorney, were disposed of. Royse was
defending his brother against the charge Of
highway robbery. After conviction it was
charged that the attorney engineered a
scheme for the prosecuting witness to find
his supposed stolen pocket book and
money in his coat lining. and then tell the
court that the money had never been taken.
The alleged plot was exposed in court,
and the father Of the young men, who was
also party to it, fed. The defense threw
themselves on the clemency of the court,
Royse saying that he had intended no con-
tempt of court, but was only trying to get
a new trial for his brother. Judge Norton
reflected upon the act of the defendant in
the most scathing terms, and then sem
fenced him to three months imprisonment
in Jail, the full extent OF the law, and to
pay fine of 500. The latter was made
light because of representations that it
would have to be paid by Mrs. Royse,
whose property has already suffered severe
ly because Of the acts of her husband and
father-in- law.

POISONED CHESTS.
They Attend n Swell Wedding and Eat
Something Not Down on the Bill.
lHonesdale pa special

A decided sensation is produced here to-
night by the discovery that dozen or more
guests at swell wedding have been poi
soned by some food that was furnished by
Scranton caterer for the wedding break
fast. At noon to-day Miss Hattie
Weston, daughter of prominent mer-
chant here, was married to Harry
S. Battin, Superintendent of the Consum-
ers' Gas Company of Chicago. The couple
left on an afternoon train and had hardly
been rolled to the depot before it was
noticed that guests began to depart with
unseemly haste. They were afflicted with
intense pain in the abdominal region that
increased SO rapidly that some of them had
scarcely time to make their adieux properly.
At their homes physicians we're summoned,
and found it necessary to treat for mineral
poisoning. Either the lobster salad or the
ice-cream absorbed some compound of
lead from cans in which it was brought
from Scranton, and serious results are an
ticipated in some cases. At 8 o'clock to-
night fourteen persons were under treat
ment, and all the doctors in the town were
busy.

Sketch of His Career.

Henry w. Shaw was born at Lanesbor-
ough, Massachusetts,, in 1918, and was q
grandson of DR.. Samuel Shaw, member of
Congress from Vermont during the war of
1872. His father was also O member of
Congress. His uncle, John Savage, served
rs Chief Justice of New York. At the age
of fifteen Henry went West and became q
farmer and auctioneer for twenty five years,
when he settled in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, at
the latter vocation. His first production
made public was written May 25, 1863,
over the name of Josh Billings, he be-
inc over forty five yoara Of aqa Sis-~
then his philosophy and quaint SPELL
ing have given him a high reputation for
originality and deep insight into human
nature. His "Allminax" attained Mt one
time an immense circulation. While edit
ing small paper in Poughkeepsie, to
which place he had come for the purpose
of educating his daughters, he compared
several OF his humorous essays with those
of Artemus Ward, and wondered why his
own had failed to strike the popular taste.
Concluding that the secret of success was
in the fonetic spelling, he adopted il in his
"Essa on the Muel, and disposed of it for
$1.50, his first earnings in the line of lit
erature. The essay was extensively cop
led, and further efforts in the same line
soon made his name household word
During the last seventeen years he han
delivered q thousand lectures,
Underneath the bad spelling of his prov
cribs and aphorisms there is ut times q
depth of wisdom and philosophy which
gives him higher place in tho world thaa
that of mere humorist, and which is
often overlooked by those who are amused
merely by his peculiarities.

SADNESS AND GLApNEss

There was a glory in my house,
And IL is fed;
There was baby at my heart,
And IL is dead.
And when sit and think OF him,

That half IL seems that nevermore
Can be glad.
II you had known this baby mine,
He was so sweet,
You would have gone a journey just
To kiss his feet.
He could not walk a single step,
Nor speak word,
But then he was as blthe and gay
As any bird
That ever sat on orchard bough,
And trilled its song,
Until the listener fancied IL
As sweet and strong
As IL from lips Of angels he
Had heard IL flow;
Such angels as thy hand could paint,

PUG JEWELRY.

Ono OF the Latest Wrinkles Of Fashion
able Female Cranks.
''What was the trouble with your
customer" the manager was asked as
he walked into the store. ''Was she
one Of the crank species? well. "
said the manager. IF you can call q
person crank who thinks more of a dog
than child. then she is one. and the
class of which she is fair specimen i:
by no means small. The whole trouble
arose from mistake made in measur-
ing her dogs foreleg for a bracelet.
After the animal had worn it few
times it became tight, and in removing
it tho skin was slightly abraded. Why
do say that she thought more of hel
dog than her child? Well. my judg-
ment is based upon acommercial trans
action. She came in here about two
weeks ago with one of the prettiest
ch ldren ever saw and bought q no
for the little one. 1t cost 1915. while
she paid S2S for bracelet for the yelp-
ing cur"
is there much of a trade in animal
ornaments?"
"Well. yes. though at present there
is not much doing. because the peo-
pie who buy the things are out OF
the city. Just before the opening OF
the summer--esorts our trade had a
wonderful boom, and it would have
surprised one who had not been init
ated to see the valuable ornaments
that were ordered for pets. Tho
trade. however, has not been as good
this year as it was last, probably te-
cause the line of jeweily worn by each
animal was full. This business began
SIX or seven years ago. and jumped
into full swing when. at one of the ami
mai dog shows. a pug was exhibited
with beautiful pair of bracelets upon
its forelegs. The ladies were overcome
by the cravings of envy and fastened
to sdorn their pugs in the same way.
Some even went so far as to have the
ears of their dogs pierced and dainty
little ear-drops suspended therefrom.
A philanthropic sp rit started the story
that this practice interfered with the
dogs hearing and was mild method
of torture. and it has now fall
len into disuse. However much the
owners may admire the appearance of
their bespangled pets. l have yet to
find the dog that feels elated when
jewelry is put on him. Dogs usually
try to tear these things off " tn their
paws or gnaw them on. These orna-
ments are not confined to bracelets,
but include collars-plain, ieweled. or
with artistically engraved monograms
expensive blankets and embroidered
wraps. They are ordered for dogs of
every size and species. but more fire.
quently for dogs that might be termed
pets. The prices paid are various. but
are always high. because nearly every
order provides for special design. and
the patterns and settings. if Jewels are
used. have to be specially prepared.
