"HOw Air You, Jedge."

The lack of convcntionality in Judge
Grcsham's court frequently results in
some amusing situations. The other
day the judge was in his room in the
Federal building hearing an argumc rent
by A. G. Harris i'll an important case,
when the dor opened and in walked
a countryman from Harrison County,
Judge Gresham's old home. The
visitor was q well preserved specimen
of an independent farmer. ii 8 face,
unshaven, was round and chubby; he
wore q broad white hat; he was with
out collar, and his clothing and shoes
showed yellow clay. He spit some
"ambcr" when inside the door, and
without noticing Attorney Harris or
the other occupants of the room
stalked up to Judge Gresham with:
"Well, how air you, jedgc! How's
all the folks? l was in town on little
business, and knew the folks down
home would like to hear from you, so
l come up to see you little while"
Attorney Harris halted at q period
in his argument, when, with both
arms outslrc:chcd, he was about to
cinch q point; he looked at the in.
truder q moment, who had not re-
moved his hat. and then bcckoned to
Deputy Marshal Conway to have the
man take off his hat.
Judge Gresham apparently did not
notice tho embarrassment # the
attol neys and spectators. He arose
from his chair, took lis visitor by the
hand, called him by his given name,
asked him about all his family, also
calling them by name, and said he was
glad he had come in.
He chattcl pleasantly with the old
gentleman for several minutes, asking
about many Harrison County people,
and seemed to enjoy the call. All this
time the attorneys and the deputy
marshal were bewildered. The latter
half feared it was his duty to prevent
such an interruption of court, bnt he
hesitatcd about moving. The farmer
stood talking with the judge as Freely
as he would have conversed with his
nearest ncighbor over rail fierce,
and when he was ready to go, he said:
"Wcll, good luck to you, jedge; come
down and see u.s." And he walked
out as independently as he had come
in.
The Judge resumed hearing the case
as if nothing had Representations

Dead Sea Myths.

Between 1870 and 1880 came two
killing blows at the older theories, and
they were dealt by two American
scholars of the highest character. First
of these may be mentioned DR.. Philip
Schaff, professor i'll the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary at New York,
who published his travels in 1877.
In high degree he united the scien-
tific with the religious spirit, but the
trait which made him especially fit for
dealing with this subjecS was his
straightforward German honesty. lie
tells the simple truth rega: ding the
pillar of salt, so far as its physi al ORR
gin and characteristics are concerned,
and leaves his reader to draw The nat
ural inference as TO its relation TO the
myth.

Smith in Scotland and DIR. Woodrow
in South Carolina before him-both re-
Gently driven from their professor
ships for truth-telling - DR.. SchafF
deserves honor for telling as much as
he does. Similar in effect, and even
more bold in statement, were the
"Travels" of the Rev. Henry Osborne,
published in 1873.
Thus came out, little by little, the
truth regarding the Dead Sea myths.
and especially the salt pillar at Udsum,
but the final trnth remained to be told,
and now ono of the purest men and
truest divines of this century told it.
Arthur Stanley, dean of Westminster,
visiting the country and thoroughly
exploring it, allowed that the physical
features of the Dead Sea and its shores
suggested the myths and legends, and
he sums up the whole as follows:
ga great mass of legends and exag-
gerations, partly the cause and partly
the result of tho old belief that the
cities were buried under the Dead Sea,
has been gradually removed in recent
years.-Popular Science Monthly.

THE VERMONT ICE CROP.
More Than a Million of Tons Harvested
the Past Season.


the Past Season.
The harvesting of ice in Vermont has prac-
ticaly closed for the season. The crop of
crystal blocks cut from the various lakes and
ponds in the State during the season will eX-
reed one million tons. More than ha mil
lion tons has been secured on Lake Cham
plain, the balance of the harvest being gath
cred from Lake Memphremagog. Crystal
Lake, Berlin Pond, Jones's Pond, Colchester
Pond, the mill pond at Windsor and other
smaller bodies Of water. Some 100000 tons
of ice have been harvested at Newport and

been secured by local contractors for ice COM

of March more than 100 large ice house were
erected al rious points and I'll ed. The
Central Vermont, Boston and Maine and
Connecticut River Railroads have several
a number of special freight trains loaded
with ice, special rate having been made for
the ice business. The price paid Vermont
contractors for ice i'm stacks or housed has
ranged from 81 to 81 per ton, according to
locality, the rates of transportation by rail to
New York and other points also varying
from 81 to 80 per ton. A large amount Of
the harvested crop on Lake Champaign has
been housed, and will be taken to New York
and other cities by boat on the opening of
navigation. 1t Is estimated that fully two
til JlIsand men have been at work cutting Ice
during the past month, and that local con-
tractors have received fully one million dol
lars for ice harvested this season. The recent
storm, in which foo. of snow fell. will seri-
ousIy interfere with ice cutting on Lake
Champlan. The largest companies have
suspended operations on the lake. The ice
harvested is from 10 TO 90 inches thick and of

An Italians Good Fortune.

A few days ago, while strolling

Cured on Saturday." said an old
drummer to q Kansas City Journal
man. every drummer working New
! Mexico would make it n point to strike
Las Vegas Friday night or Saturday
morning. Of course he could not set
there TO witness every fight, but you
could count on his not missing amy
when it was possible for him to reach
the ring before the fun began.
''The bulls were usually game fight
ers, and the sport was never tame.
Did you ever hear how the fights were
advertised? Well, it was anovel way.
The day preceding each fight all the
Indians of the locality would be sent
through the town and into the sur
rounding country, and by dancing and
pantoninc convey to the people the IN
formation of the coming fight.
at was amusing to see tic Indians
and observe the peculiar way they adj
vertiscd the fight. Most of them had

ing them would have imagined they
were out to pillag and torture.
"The bull-ring was right in the city,
and the fights were always well pat
ronizetl. In fac;, it was considered
quite the proper thing to attend the
bull-ring and witness the go:ing of
horses and slaughter of bulls.
"Thcrc was one feature of these
fights that was not pleasant either to
anticipate or witness. They always
were succeeded by row, in which
guns ard knives were used freely. No
ono could tell just why the rows were
prccipitatcd with such regularity, but
they usually resulted in some one re-
cciving moro lead than he could carry

az presume the sight of b.oodshed
in the ring inflaned some of the spec
tators and left them in q killing mood.
These little side issues did not tend 10
render the sport any less popular, only
n trifling more courageous, and If It
had not been for the march of civiliza-
ton the bull ring would still be a

Ladies nowadays wear numerous
rings which carry no significance, ex-
cept, perhaps, in some instance the
possession IF wealth. Twenty-Five
years ago it was a rarity to sec q
woman wearing more than one ring on
eli her hand, but now the more they
can crowd on their dainty digits the
better they seemed pleased; and. what
is more, while they are almost insancly
mindful of the harmony in their dress,
they tumble diamonds, rubies. pearls,
garnets and other precious stones
together in ridiculous confusion. To
display diamond properly it must be
worn alone. Few seem to understand
this. If a solitaire is pure, it is OBJ
vious that if worn next 10 o ruby it
