on the question at issue, and somewhat
tediously labored through its long and
legally involved phrases.
The judge let him go through with
it, and then bent forward to ask:
"Are you not aware that that statute
has been repealed?"
''Oh, certainly" was the cool All
swer, "but have read the old law and
the new, and L find that 1 like the old
much better"
The perfect nonchalance OF the re-
ply was certainly eminently character
istic.

The agent of the Thingvalla liue in
New York says that company will pay
for the cargo thrown overheard by Cap
tain Murrell in order to make room for
the Denmark people. This is no more
than was expected. The Thingvalla line
should certainly bear all the losses incl
dent TO the breaking down of their
steamship and the rescuing of the Den
marks officers. 1t is probably true that
no damages could be recovered from the
Thingvalla company by process of law,
but the moral obligations are plain and
strong. Should the loss not be paid by
this company the effect would be to
make captains of steamships look the
other way when signals Of distress are
displayed on the ocean

In might be difficult for General
Aguus to tell how many became vic
Tins Of his sharp shooting during the
war, but according to his own admIS-
sion. at the veterans banquet the other
night, his first victim was 4 COW. The
explanation of this achievement is that
IN the exuberance of his patriotic vision
the General mistook the harmless erea-
ture for an approaching Johnny Reb, y
and blazed away. That was at period,
however when the military experience
Of the General was quite limited. In
the years succeeding his elevation from
private of small stature in the rear
rank to that Of a Brigadier-General, ,
tells the story of his services and his
personal valor and patriotism.
