The justices of the supreme court are
not to be blamed IL they are vain. All
day long they sit upon the grandest
throne in the United States, surrounded
by more show Of Difference and honor
than even the President receives, with
theatrical curtains Of crimson silk draped
behind them and great gold eagle over
their heads, with page boys at their
elbow, venerable lawyers bowling before
them, velvet carpets to hush the fall Of
feet upon the court room floor, negro
doorkeepers watching over noiseless
doors, dim religious light in the semi
circular room, and a never ceasing throng
Of awed citizens of this and other lands
reverentially staring them out of coun-
tenance. The Libyan lion at circus
excites very little more veneration and
awe from the spectators. Ishould think
that the justices must feel sometimes
how like wild beasts on exhibition they
are. Perhaps they don't think of it at
all, for one grows accustomed in time to
anything. even to being a supreme court
judge. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Nerro.s Love for His Dog.

1t is astonishing whatdesperate chances
negro will take to save a dog. They
appear to be more solicitous about
them than the balance of their possess
sions. The other day a negro came in
very much excited. thought some one
was drowning. He said the railroad fiat
form (platform) had fioated off, with his
dog ON it, over half mile distant, and
wanted to borrow my skiff to rescue him.
While l appreciated the value of the
dogs life to the community, respect
fully declined, as / was unwilling to be
separated from my boat. The negro,
undaunted, got into cracker box, or
something little larger, and heroically
carried out his resolution.-Cor. Louis

Speaking of Zoo babies" said Mr..
Stephen, the superintendent of the gar
den, "do you know that newspaper re-
porters hoodoS them? 1t is fact.
CAS- soon as any of our young animals
get written up they die. Look at our
giraffe. And when the grizzly bears
were born we said not word about them
in public. One we left with his mother
and the other l took and began to raise
ON bottle.
Zone day one of the newspaper men
came out and saw the grizzly baby get
ting its bottle He wrote it up at length
and the little thing couldn't stand it, 1t
died at once. And so when we have
more babies out here we will keep them
under cover until they get big enough to
stand the hoodoo of newspaper publi-
city, y,"-Cincinnati Times-Star.

And hope dies hard but the old wounds stay,
Heal them hide them, as best we may.

To look back on at close Of strife,
And warm myself in a ghostly sun
Which once had color and life.
Oh, never had light such a golden haze
AS that which shines through the mist Of daysl

And l think beyond the grave III see

Edison,s LIttle Inke.

When the phonograph was newer in
vention than it is at the present time,
Edison put one of the machines in a
clock and placed it in guest chamber.
Being a great lover of a practical joke he
also placed friend in the guest cham
Der one night. Just as his friend was
disrobing he heard voice exclaim:
eleven o'clock; one hour more" 1t is
needless to say that slumber did not de-
scend upon the eyelids of the visitor
during that hour. At midnight the
voice exclaimed: Twelve o'clock; pre-
pare to der This was too much for the
visitor, and he sprang from his bed and
rushed to the library, where Edison and
his friends were waiting patiently ex-
pecting his appearance. The invention
was soon explained and quiet restored. -
