The Crucifxion Nails.

One Of the most curious relics pre-
served in the Ashmolean Museum at
Oxford, England, is II crown having
framework said to have been made oil
the nails that were driven through
the hands and feet Of Jesus at Cal
vary. The crown itself is embossed
with Jewels and gold, exhibiting
close resemblance TO the enamelled
work of the present day, Dotwith
standing the fact that its history can
be traced to the time Of the corona
ton Of Agilulfus, King OF Normandy,
in the year 59l. As noted in the fore
going. the portion Of the crown which
is Of greatest traditional interest n
the frame work Of iron, about three
eights Of an inch broad and one.tenth
Of an inch i'm thickness, attached TO
the inner circumference OF the
iewelled superstructure. This iron
band was made from identical nails,
according TO legendary report. used
at the crucifi1ion given by the En-
press Helena-who, history says, was
the discoverer Of the cross-to her
son. Constantine, the Great, as II
miraculous protection from the dan
gers Of the battlefield. The priest who
exhibits the crown TO curious visitors
points out. a. a permanent miracle,
the fact that there is not single
speck Of rust upon the iron, although
il has now been exposed TO the damp
ness Of the atmosphere for more than
fifteen centuries. The crown was or
iginally made for AgiiuIfus, King OF
the Lombards, under the supervisor
of Thendelinde, his wife, who had
fallen heir TO the sacred nails.

Failed to Keep His Appointment.

In one of the frontier settlementsln IN
the Wild West German cobbler was
elected Police Justice. His reputa
ton as an honest toiler was well es-
tablished, but his legal knowledge
and sense of humor were so far OF un-
known quantities.
One of his first cases was that OF a
tough citizen, who was duly yarraigned
for breach of the peace. The JUS
tice heard the evidence in the case
and pronounced sentence of three
months in Jail. This so enraged the
defendant that he ended vigorous
abuse of the court by promising to
call OH him promptly that day three
months and prepare him for first
class funeral. The Judge heard this
abuse silently, and then, without any
emotion, cogitated as follows
well, you kills me to-day three
months ago, will you? Let me see.
This is August first. Three months
will be November first. Thanksgiv-
ing will be twenty-fifth. | will miss
my Thanksgiving dinner. Christmas
is next. will miss Christmas, too.
Six months from August first will be

shust go right away to Jail six months
and then | see you any more ! shust
shoot you so full of lead it will take
Won steam derrick to lift you down TO
YOUR grave. You hear me?'
The six months were up long ago,
and the Justice still sits on his cob
bler's bench when not dispensing JUS
tice from his official seat. The tough
citizen is presumably herding cattle
in Arizona.

Presence of Mind Which Came Too Late.

THE most remarkable case Of hind
sight ever came across, said the old
railroad superintendent, occurred
on NV division several years ago. \
vounp man named Brown was ope-
rator at way station about ten miles
this side of Alliance. He was a good
boy all over: didn't drink: didn't fool
with the girls. and | had my eye on
him for promotion. But one winters
night. after ordering a freight train
to come west, he let No. 10, passenger
express. go east. How he made the
blnnder he never explained. On a
single track road nothing under heav-
en- could prevent wreck, and Brown
realized that before the rear lights Of
the passenger train We're out Of sight
Most men would have lost their heads
at the thought, but Brown didn't. He
remained at his instrument and tele-
graphed me as follows: Send wreck
ing train at once; trains 10 and 81 in
collision
Il went out with the wrecking train
at once, picked up Brown or the way
and found a bad smash-up sure
enough-though the engineers OF both
trains had sighted each other in time
TO avert a frightful catastrophe. vi
course had to discharge Brown; but
if his foresight had been equal to his
hind sight, what splendid railroad
er he would have made"

The Case of Gibson.

The carpenters had just finished re-
shingling his kitchen, and he was
raking the old shingles into pile.
Hello, Gibson" said a neighbor,
you'll have kindling enough TO last
all winter. won't you g
Yes. he replied, v ith an inward
glow of satisfaction; and it makes
mighty good kindling, too
Good morning, Gibson" called
out the family doctor, who drove
along few minutes later Been
making some improvements 2
Yes"
1T looks like a good job, and it
will give you kindling enough TO last
all winter"
Yes, I'm getting good deal Of
comfort ont of that"
Gibson, said the deputy sheriff,
who passed along shortly afterward,
If you take good care of those old
shingles they'll last you for kindling
all winter"
Yes, replied Gibson rather short
ly, Il suppose they will
The driver of the wagon was the
next.
Hello Gibsonr he said, you'll
have kindling to last all winter.
Mr.. Gibson made no reply. He
went on rahing his shingles some
what viciously.
Morning, Gibson" exclaimed the
Sunday school superintendent a
minute or two afterward, as he stop
ped and leaned over the fence.
You'll have kindling enough | see 10
last you all"
Darn the kindling
The superintendent passed on with
a shudder.
The next man that says that to
me, " muttered Mr. Gibson, will have
a fight on his hands.

inquired the next passer, genial
old Quaker. Il see thee will have

OF course he couldn't get n fight
out of ii Quaker, so he kicked a stray
eat out of the yard by way OF reliev-
lug his feelings, and continued raking
the old shingles without looking
up.
The pastor of Mr. GibSon's church
was taking his afternoon walk. He
saw his parishioner at work, stopped
a moment and looked and then re-
marked:
You will have kindling enough

That was all he said. Brother Glib

was, yelled out:

Five minutes later Mr.. Gibson, with
trembling haste and his pockets full
of revolvers ready for instant nse'
was burning his shingles in the alley.
