woman with an old-fashioned hat, a
shawl like Joseph's coat. and face
that had the stamp of Erin on it.
"Never mind. Mrs. Hendricks. y
warned the court, sternly.
Mrs. Olive A. Armstrong took the
stand and swOre that last Sunday Mrs.
Hendricks knocked down her son, How
ard, aged thirteen, with club, and
then kicked him. Mrs. Hendricks lives
at 2520 Twenty-eighth avenue south,
and it was there that the row occurred.
She and Mrs. Armstrong are neighbors.
Mrs. Hendricks didn't want lawyer.
She conducted her own case. when
she went upon the stand she talked
blue streak.
II tell you just how it was, Judge.
Ye see he's bad bye, that spalpeenl
yonder. Last Sunday he come up to me
house wild some rascals and raised a
row. They upset me out house and
raised - giiie..ally. Next day he comes
up and asks to see ME bye Charley. L
towld him about breakin' me property:
He got sassy and called me :.
Mrs. Hendricks arose at this point and
uttered the words gloatingly, as If to
speak them gave her infinite pleasure.
''Then pushed him over and laid ME
hand forninst his ear"
So she ratified on until she was told to
stop. But the bailiff had to drag her
from the stand. Then her small son,
Charley, was put on the stand.
How old are you?' asked the judge.
s'Ten, sir.'
'Sure an he's 'leven." broke in Mrs.
Hendricks.
Keep STILL" commanded the court.
''But he is 'leven, judge, as | can
prove by the priest this very minute"
You live with your mother?"
SAY coorse he do, judge" remarked
Mrs. Hendricks, an he's good bye,
too, not like that villain over there"
My boys no villain." snapped Mrs.
Armstrong"
Keep quiet" yelled the court"
''Sure an he is. He ought to be in
state prison this very minute. He's a
thafe."
Indeed he is not. HIS good, honest
boy. an Judge Bailey knows it,
His honor looked helpleSsly at the
two women while the baiIiff yainly
raped for order. Finally they were
quoted and the judge took advantage
of the temporary lull to fine Mrs. Ken
bricks IS. Then she waylaid him on
the way out and talked him dumb. He
had to get an officer to take her away.

slender, sWaying throat rising from the
statue-0yely shoulders with the grace
OF lily stalk, the go!den-lighted
tresses, the large, almond-shaped blue
eyes, with that mysterious sadness in
their depths that one sees in the por-
traits of Charles L., shading their azure
brilliancy and not to be chased away
even 10y the sunny sweetness OF the
smiling mouth. Ten years later again
beheld the empress, this time in full
court dress at Il gala representation at
the opera. blazing with diamonds, with
that peerless gem, the regent, surmount-
ing the clasSic-shaped diadem that she
never wore since, except at the penalty
of an agOnZing headache, so great was
its weight. Her delicate. flower-like
beauty had developed and expanded
into that of a well-ripened fruit, the
rounded arms and finely moulded shout
deTs dimpling out of glowing draperies
of rich red silk. She sat like statue
or like some gem-bedecked Indian idol,
so motionless that her diamonds famed;
they did not flash or sparkle. Next |
beheld her scowled upon by the Partisan
crowd at the review in 1870, tired
looking, elderly woman, with the dainty
charms of her youth and the glowing
graceS of her prime replaced by all the
ii
French cosmetics.
And then, a year or two ago, passed,
on the Place Nendome, Scrrowful
lady clad in deep mourning, with sill
very hair and an intirm gait, who was
III the act of getting into her carriage,
aiding herself with cane as she did SO.
There was no installing the sad sweet
ness of the expression or the still inim-
itably graceful carriage of the head and
shoulders. 1t was the eX-empress pass
ing through Paris on her way to one of
the continental watering places.
Her health is good. with the eXcep-
ton of the rheumatic affection that has
troubled her for years, and that impes
her annually to seek the counSels and
care of one of the great physicians of
Amsterdam. She is wealthy, and in
growing Oil she has grown penuriouS,
SO that her heirs, the children of her
sister, the Duchess of Alba, will proba-
bly, inherit one day an immense fortune.
Like ghost of the vanished empire
that gave her grandeur, and to which
she impaired grace and charm. she fits
from one hcalth-giving place of public
reSorttO another, alone on earth with
her memories and her sorrows. She has
survived all those whom she loved
husband. son, mother and sister. Dead,
too, are her hopes and her ambitions;
they have vanished like her world
renowned beauty, like her Queenship,
like her lOng-hoped-for and joyously
hailed maternity. Oftenin the watches
of the night storm of grief will scatter
the calmneSS of her resignation to the
winds. and she will sit for hours weep
ing before the portrait of the late prince

Rugby, where lie picked up the word

rapidity when spoken to On the subject
OF The Quick or the Dead? He never

RAILROAD COMEDY.
Acted by Enraged Officials, Face
tious Drummers. and a Trunk.


You have no idea of the annoyances
we have to suffer from the travelling
public, and especially from travelling
salesmen," said conductor On board a
local train travelling out of the city to a
Boston Courier man. 'Only the other
day two statesmen entered a compart-
ment. They sat opposite each other,
and one of the two placed a pretty
heavy trunk upon the seat next to him. :"
"'Look here says l, you'll have to
take that trunk Off the seat
mo- says he, ! will not take 1t
down.
"'WelI,' says L, swe will see. Will
you take that trunk down. yes or mop
"'Ha, hap laughed he, you are jest
ing, my good man,
las at this very moment the train
began to move, l had to defer proceed
ing against the offender until the next
station. As soon as it was reached
rushed into the compartment full of
rage and asked: Now, will you take
the trunk down.?
Please do not bother me with that
trunk or l shall complain of you at
headquarters!' roared the passenger in
voice of thunder. l never met with
oOSA DtlOtC. Out CtS lllC u oiii
stopped for couple of minutes only l
had again to wait till the coming sta
ton. There | informed the station
master of the case. He entered the
compartment saying:
Sir, the conductor is in his right,
and L have to demand of you to remove
the trunk or to leave the train
81 shall neither take it down nor
leave the train answered the passen-
ger, and, as we were already five min
uteS late, had just time to wire the
matter to the next station.
Il enjoyed in advance the scene at
the next station. Upon our arrival the
chief of that station said to the paSSen-
ger:
81 have to ask you to leave this train
at once
Sir rejoined the now thoroughly
Infatuated passenger, what DO you want
of me? have paid for my ticket and
have done nothing reprehensible what
ever, and yet this miserable hireling
has nat ceased to bother and insult me-
Owing to this quarrel the train was
now ten minutes late, and the fast ex-
press close behind US.
"'You'll have to leave the train If
you do not at once take the trunk down.
shouted the enraged chief.
81 shall do that under 10 circum-
stance whatever screamed the pasSen-
ger, whose frontal veins stood out like
whipcord from his dark red forehead.
AT this juncture the head baggage
master entered the car and, trying to
cOnciliate the warning elements, SAID In
a soothing manner to the passenger:
"'But why do you not take the trunk
off the seat? Don't you see that owing
to your stubborness the train is now ten
minutes late%
"'But why on earth should take this
trunk down? There's no power that
can compel me to-"
''All three of the railroad officials now
approached the passenger to eject him.
when the other passenger. who had
been an amused eyewitness to the
quarrel, said quietly, But why should
he. indeed, be compelled to take it down.
1t is my trunk and not hisn"

THE SANTA FE, TOO.
Gould Gets Control OF Another
Railroad

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-It is reported
here that instead of the Santa Fe Sys-
tenn, Jay Could has secured control of
the Chicago, Santa Fe Il California
road. This road cost the AtchiSon
company over sl5,OOO,OO0. and has al
ways been a white elephant on their
hands. If it should prove correct that
Gould has gained control of the AtehiSon
Chicago extension. the road will be
operated as part of the Missouri Pacific
system, which will then have through
line from Chicago to Texas and Col
orado. Freight rates, boath east and
west-bound. between Chicago and st.
Louis and the seaboard will, tomor
row, be restored to the tariff of last
April. Traffic is very heavy now and

Has Money in His Stocking.

NVW IUIh W UIIu
James Mcneil. of Cambridge, carries
in his leg piece of money which has
had a strange history. When an eight
year-oId boy in Prince Edwards Island
McNeill swallowed the coin while run
ming. Seven years ago he noticed what
seemed to be a ruptured vein in his leg
in about the spots where the coin now
rests, and In a year or two was able to
feel little hard. round bunch. 1t now
lies under not more than a quarter of
an inch of flesh and skin, does not trou-
bic its owner in the least. and can only
be found by pulling up the flesh. Four
or five physicians have examined the
projection, and declare that it is silver
coin beyond all doubt. Mcneil has
been offered 800 by doctor to allow
him to cut the coin out.

The Government Mule.

Virginia City Enterprise
The government mule is proving to
be a serious obstacle in locating sites for
reservoirs for storing water for irrigat-
ing purposes. The corps of United
States engineers that arrived in this
state some time ago for the purpose of
photographic surveys for water storage
reservoirs, on leaving Carson took with
them several untamed mules, to be used
in the transportation of their outfit.
These mules appear to be in fair way
to kill or disable the whole corps. Since
leaving Carson four wounded men have
been sent back to receive medical at
tendance and proper care and nursing,
all victims of the kicking mules. Two
of the men have broken legs, one a
broken arm. and another is seriously
injured amidship. The mules are doing

fourth street and Ninth avenue. has al
WAYS been open to his sporting friends.
Not long ago sport, who had met Mr..
Law several times, called at his office
and told a narrowing story of having
held a queen full in big poker game.
He described his emotions and the bet
ting graphically until Mr.. Law became
greatly interested and asked:
. well, how much did you win?"
"Nothing," was the reply.
GLOW was that?" and Mr.. Laws tone
was sympathetic.
Another fellow held king full"
This was sufficient explanation, and
the man who had tried 10 make three
feminine rulers beat trio OF male mon
archs-both backed by pairs-had his
wounded feelings plastered by crisp
500 bill.
Half an hour or so later another
sporting man who knew Mr.. Law well
was ushered i'm, and, after a few pre-
liminary remarks, began the recital of
poker game. Again was Mr.. Laws in
terest aroused, but when the visitor fin
iShed up with:
Eyes. sir, / had three queens and two
SKIES pat, and the other fellow drew
three cards and made king full, and
dropped my pile" he began to smell
mice. He went down in his pocket,
however, for the second time. and the
poker-player went away a happier man.
While Mr.. Law was thinking over the
coincidence a third sport entered and
told how he had been fieeced out of
$1,000 the night previously.
did you have queen full?'' asked
the diamond distributor, suspiclously.
YES" answered his friend in sur
prise.
"And did the other fellow have king
full?" was the next question.
Yes; but how the deuce did you
come to find it out?' asked the caller i'll
complete establishment.
"Well, that king full has cost me
$500, and | don't propose it shall cost
me any more. Good-day. sir" and the
caller. too much surprised to say an
other word, left the place. Mr.. Law
thinks some one put up job on him,
but who it was he cannot imagine. AT
any rate, he has instructed the young
man in the front office, under penalty
of discharge. not to allow any person
who looks like sport to get further
than the door.
