sailing along the eastern coast Of
Africa. and reached Usapuha in the
course of eight days. Then he entered
into friendly relations with its Sultan,
drinking with him a few glasses Of
grog. These relations soon eliminated
in a ceSsiOn of the whole country, to-
gether with all personal and sovereign
rights of the Sultan. Ito be sure"
said the lecturer, in a humorous way,
'.we had treated the gentleman in the
most friendly manner. As he ap-
preached we began to sing in chorus,

This put him in q very good humor.
assured him we could sing much better
songs, which he doubted. / then pre-
sented him with the Uniform of q
husSar. and told him that those who
stood nearest to our Emperor wore
such uniforms. The Sultan now rose
in the highest esteem of his people. and
so deeply affected was he that he re-
linquished his whole country, and,
after the treaty had been translated by
an interpreter, he signed it before wit
nesses and had it also signed by the
Crown-Prince, whereupon the German
flag was raised, and our company pro-
ceeding upon 4 hill near by, in the
name of our Emperor, took formal
possession of the whole mountainous
country. Three cheers were given for
the Emperor, in which the blacks joined
heartily.
Fearing that the news of this act OF
annexation would reach the ears of the
Sultan of Zanzibar, who might send
troops against us, we proceeded with
forced marches TO the Ungarn country,
with whose Sultan, Masungu Biani, q
treaty offensive and defensive was
forthwith concluded. From there we
pushed forward toward our real point
of destination, Usagara, which we
reached four days later. A treaty was
concluded with the Sultan Mbuma,
and two days later we found the High
Sultan of Usagara, q man of eighty
years, who expressed his qualification
at meeting white men, and readily
signed a treaty ceding the whole coun-
try of Ussgara to our company. "

The Rage Of q WeII-Meaning Justice Whose
Temperance Lecture Was Spoiled.
Just as Justice Coldbath gave the fat
man in short coat thirty days for keep
ing a calf, three pigs and a swarm of
chickens in his front yard, citizen in
good clothes came into court That is,
his clothes were good, what was left OF
them. They were torn in a dozen va
rieties of rent, and dabbled with mud
and blood. His broken head was band
aged, his hat was crushed, his face dis
figured. Oh, but old Justice Coldbath
was mad.
We'll, sir" he snarled, before the
citizen could speak, ''it's easy enough
to see what's the matter with your
The citizen drew a sigh that sounded
like a November breeze and shook his
head despondently.
Same old storyP" said the Justice;
''same old thingP You look like a re-

That's what plays the mischief with your
respectable drinker, sir. Brings him to
the gutter just as sure as it does the

you. I'm going to deal justly and
harshly and mercifully with you for
your own sake. I'll sock it to you so
that you'll never come here again. It's
whisky, you sayp"
yes, SIR" said the citizen feebly,
whisky is the trouble, sir. But for
whisky wouldn't be here. But for

graceful, forlorn, painful position. But
for whisky, I would be sound, happy
man, in good clean clothes and no head
ache. But for whisky"
''That'n do" said the justice, 81

realize your situation so keenly. Maybe

and $40 off your sentence and maybe it

tone of infinite surprise. Il never

any kind in ali my life. 1 am pastor

policeman assaulted me on the street

And old Justice Coldbath, who is
never so happy as when delivering a
temperance lecture from the bench to q
battered inebriate, was so mad at hay-
ing his lecture spoiled that he tried the
minister on three charges of conspiracy,
malicious mischief and contributory
negligence, with intent to deceive and
commit fraud, before he would let him
go, and then he tried to saddle the costs
upon him.-Bardcte in Dsooklvn Eaote
