Nffstook the Reading.

Gillihower isn't much Of scholar, and
the other night when he was reading to
his old fashioned wife out of a newspa-
per, he came across an item about some
woman having charge of twenty-five
kindergartens. The last n being a little
blurred he read it, twenty-five kind er
garters."
"Law-sakes" exclaimed the old lady,
as she snatched off her spectacles in as
constituent, twenty-five kind er gar
tiers! No wonder there's so many busted
people and repytashens nowadays. Why,
when I was a gal we used to knit
'em, or use a string, and if we wanted
something right handsome we'd get the
selvidge off the cloth when the boys got
pair of trousers made out o store cloth.
Now everybody must have TASTES. Twen-
ty-five kind O carriers. An, Of course,
other things to match! This is what Sa-
rah Togy and Nary Gansett Peers dom

Then she replaced her specs and went
on with her knitting Texas Siftings.

STATEMENTS OF:THE CAtISFS.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 1.-THE
following facts were submitted to Justice
Field this evening and declared by him to
be a correct statement of the circumstances
that led up to the shooting: During Judge
Terry's confinement in the county Jail he
threatened upon his release to take the
lives of Judges Fields and Sawyer Prior
to contempt of court for which he was in
prison, Mrs. Terry in his presence had
made an assault on Judge Sawyer in a
Pullman car. 1t is believed had Judge
Sawyer resented the insult they would
haQe killed him. Terry's threats were
publicly made and reached the ears of
Justice Fields colleagues on the supreme
bench and were made known to
the department of justice in Wash
ney general of the United States,
head of the department of justice, and as
the superior of officer United States Mar
shall Franks, ordered the latter to take
whatever measures were necessary to pro-
tect the persons of Justice Field and
Judge Sawyer from assault by Judge
Terry On arrival in California to hold
court in this part of his circuit. Justice
Field objected to being placed under the
protection of the marshal's officer. Not
outstanding his objection to protection
the marshal declared himself subject to
the order of his superior officer, Attorney
General Miller and de 1utized Mr.. Maggie
to keep in reach OF Justice Field ready to
carry out the order of the deputy of JUS
tice.
II. G. Otis. editor of the Los Angeles
Times, was passenger on the southern
overland train. He saw Marshal Maggie
shoot Judge Terry. In an interview to-
night be said when Mrs. Terry left the
dining room Maggie supposed she was GO
ing after a revolver or bottle of yitrio!.
Nagle became especially watchful then,
and when he saw Terry assault the justice
he fired. The justice, said MIR. Otis, was
not armed. His friends urged him 10 carry
"A revolver. but he refused TO do so. He
thought it time 70 do away with the courts
when il became necessary for a justice of
! the United States supreme court to carry
Il revolver in going about performing his
duty

Home and Mother.

A young French soldier lay as if dying In
hospital at Geneva. Far away in his native
village in Brittany was an old father over 20,
a mother and sister. As he lay there one
day, he told comrade that he would dearly
was written to the family, and his father
started at once. Arrived at Geneva after
many difficulties, he fastened to his son, who
expressed the satisfaction he felt in seeing
him before he died. 'Ah, mol" said the old
man, ''you must not die. Courage, ladI
have brought money, and will buy everything
you need" But the youth protested that he
had everything he needed now, and that all
sorts of things were brought to tempt his ap-
petite, but he could not touch them.
The poor father was quite discouraged at
the weary and wasted boy, and feared he had
only come to take his dead one home Then,
all at once, It occurred to him to draw from
his lmapsack one Of the common loaves Of rye
bread, such as are eaten by the peasants Of
Brittany. "Here, my son, take this; it was
made by your mother" The sick lad turned
his heavy eyes, and stretched out his hand
greedily, crying, 'Give it to me, father; am
hungry" As he ate his eyes lighted up, the
blood came back to his face, and large tears
rolled down his cheeks, as he said, Its SO
goodl SO good the bread frJm my home!"
From that time he began to recover, and fif-
teen days later was able to start on the home
ward Journey All the way he repeated,
when shall get there, where may always
eat from our good black bread, made by my
mother f'-Swiss Almanac.

Encourages PrevancatioIa

Something new in the telephone linz
has developed in France. A man called
up President Carnot's ministers by tele-
phone aud denounced them in most
vigorous and REASONABLE way. He was
arrested, but the French courts held that
insults offered over telephone wire ara
not penal offenses. This shows that
criminal laws do not keep pace with
new inventions. It is so the world over
Men lie over the telephone every day.
They telephone home that business will
keep them down town and that they
cannot be home to dinner, and may be
detained late at night. There is no re-
dress for wives in such cases except to
dress for dinner and dine without hus-
bands. Business transactions are carried
on by telephone. A man has made {
bad bargain and does not wish to stand
by it. He says he did not telephone and
you cannot swear to the voice that came
in the buzz. No witness heard what he
said. The law has provided against OBJ
scene matter sent by mail. Telegraph
companies rule out cuss words. But q
man talking to you by telephone may
abuse you as if you were pickpocket.
You cannot smash his jaw and you must
stand it.-New Orleans Picayune.

The suggestion recently made In this col
umn in regard to methods of inducing or pro-
noting sleepiness has been put to practical
test by one constant reader of The Tribune
with most gratifying results. The sugges-
ton was that sleep could be woced success

perience in the following language: MY
plan is not TO count rapidly but to call oil
mentally one figure with every expiration Of
breath. A person in good health counts at
that rate about twenty minute. Before
reaching % in this scale, he must count for
about sixteen minutes, as the series mounts
up to 325 counted straight ahead. But

mechanically, without any mental activity

HALE AND HEARTY IN OLDAGE.

What is more beautiful than an ancient
tree clothed with an ample robe of verdure.
AptIs the comparison between such
growth and an old man or woman infufed
with health and vigor. The sine qua non,
the indispensable condition of vigorous
youth, robust manhood and a verile old
age, is sound digestion. Without this
life is shorn of the hearty Zest that should
attend it. No more beneficent and agree

heartily received. 1t was a disagreeabie
afternoon. The president was driven to
Mr.. SeWalfS residence and lunch was
served The party at the table was small

coined to the city by the people. and pre-
sented to national officials and prominent
citizens, after which he was escorted to the
front of the city building and introduced
to the people by the mayor, in reply to
which the president expressed his appre-
citation of the enthusiasm. The party

asm. After visiting the works the party
