LEWIS VS.. LEWIS.
Or'nion of a Judge and It's Con-
sequences.

An elegantly-dressed young woman
left the law Office of Judge Sharpe just
as Walter Losing was about to enter
1T.
AS she swept by him the young man
caught q momentary glimpse Of her
face which told him as plainly as words
could have done that she was I'M
happy. He wondered what trouble
could have come to one who was so
evidently in want OF nothing that money
could provide. at
Walter Losing was what is commonly
called, in euphemistic newspaper
phraseology, "a rising young lawyer. :"
In other words, he had been recently
admitted to practice, was as poor as the
law aIlowedAand, as is well known,
the law Is very liberal in this respect
and had hard work to ''rise" high
enough to keep his head above water.
This, too, in spite Of the fact that his
ability was above the average.
. Just now he had come to get the old
Judges opinion on q, knotty point which
had come up, in one Of the few cases
which he ghad succeeded in securing.
Judge Sharpe had taken kindly inter
est in him, and had already given him
valuable advice and otherwise be-
friended him on several occasions. In
fact, 1t is highly improbable that the
knotty point that was puzzling him
would have trofbled him at all.K It
hadn't been for the Judge, who had
thrown the case N which 1t occurred In
his way.
Judgs Sharpe had just tied together a
bundle Of legal papers and thrust them
into pigeon-hole when the young man
came in. -
''How are you, my boyP Sit down.
What can do for you to-day? I've just
got to the end of case that ought to be
lesson to all ysu young fellows, Z" said the
Judge, all in one breath, as was his
manner. ~ fsS
.sWhas case, was that, judge?" asked
Tossing, as he dropped intoa char.
Lewis versus Lewis, action for linn
ated divorce OF, the ground Of iHcOm-
,patibility crusl treatment, andSo forth,
You saw the young woman who just
won't out?"
LOSING nodded.
s'That was the plaintiff Nice sort Of
girl Well-educated, refined, hand
some, and all that but not the right
sort Of wife for the man she married.
You see she is the only daughter of
wealthy people, who had naturally
gfatfned every within that came into her
head. She fell In love withA young
man whose respectability was his chief
recommendation"

lar expression about the old gentle
mans eyes; perhaps sort OF revelation
came to him; ut any rate he checked
himself very suddenly and looked re-
markably sheepish.
"Perhaps you can guess the plaintiffs
name now" suggested the judge.
"You see," continued he, rs Walter
still sat like ono stricken dumb; 1.-THE
young lady thinks that you have been
Influenced by something that was said
to you in general way by one who in
tended to make no specific application
OF his remarks: and she believes that II
the matter is presented to you in the
proper light, no extreme measures will
be necessary to make you see that you
were altogether wrong In arriving at
certain decision based on the case OF
Lewis versus Lewis"
Walter grasped the judges hand; he
said nothing; he couldn't have said any
thing just then, for there was great,
big lump in his throat.
II need q partner, +" resumed tho Judge;
~ have more work than can manage
alone; think you are just the kind Of
man / want; and then, you know, be-
ing partners we could easily compro-
mise this matter which l have men
toned. You would have no objection
to such an arrangement, suppose?'-

Tr..s That Shed Many Tears.

Peter Martyr (''Sommario dell Indie

rain tree ON the Isle of Ferro John
Cockburn GA Journey Overland from
the Gulf of Honduras" 1857 describes
an enormous weeping tree near the
mountains of Vera Pas, in Central
America. The leaves are young, and in
summer the tree weeps all day from the
end of every leaf,- even after six
months drought, converting the ground
near 1t into swamp spence describes
the Tamii-Caspi. a weeping tree Of Peru;
but he declares that species Of cicada
causes the rain, and that almost any
tree may be converted into weeping
tree by insects feeding on its leaves.
The literature of weeping trees Is enor-
nous, and much Of 1t Is plainly myth
cal; but there is large basis Of fact on
which 1t rests.77American Notes and

QUEER CHARACTERS.
Things Seen and HenSd by Detectives In
Large City Hotels.

Things Seen and HeNT0 by Dotectivoe IN
Large City Hotels.
Hotel detectives run ACROSS some rare
specimens Of human nature and human
weakness. One Of. the best known
and shrewdest Of the profession Is Max
Phillips, who looks after the interests
Of the Fifth Hotel and its guests, who
sees some queer specimens. He was
pointing one of them out to me some
time ago.
"You see that old man coming in
the door," he said, as he pointed to a
tall, elderly man, with a patriarchal
beard; 'just watch him for few min
utes."
The old gentleman walked slowly
through the corridors into the reading
room, and looked around till he saw o
chair in which a guest had left news
paper. The old man walked over, picked
it up, sat down and commenced reading.
After few minutes he slowly folded 1t
up, put it in his pocket furtively, and
moved away.
THAT old gentleman" the detective
continued, "seems to have a mania for
old newspapers. I've seen him get away
with three or four in an evening. He
never speaks to any one, never takes
any thing else, and troubles no one: but
he goes for an old newspaper of any sort
like duck for June bug. Every night,
month in and month out, he shows up
here and goes through the same pro-
gramme.
1--WE do have visitors who don't con-
tine themselves to newspapers. A few
nights ago a middle-aged black-bearded
man came in. didn't like his appear
ance, and kept my eyes open. He
walked into the bar-room and sat down
by the cigar counter and commenced
smoking cigarette. There were not
many people in the bar-room, and the
clerk at the cigar counter was sitting
down at the other end of the counter
from the man. stood in the door, just
where he couldn't see me. He looked
around in q sneaking way, then reached
over to light his cigarette, and, as he
Strengthened up, slipped the nickel
plated cigar-clip under his coat Pretty
quick he got up to walk out. ! tapped
him on the shoulder, and told him to
put that cigar-clip back. He stopped o
minute. then took it out from under
his coat and gave it to me. Then he
had the nerve to tell me that he runs a
jewelers. shop in Brooklyn and took
the clip to fix the spring. Hotel de-
tectives have to keep their eyes open
all the time for sneak thieves and to
protect the guests. II they didn't, a
guest could hardly get in through the.
bunco steerers and confidence men, who
now give the big hotels pretty wide
berth. IN. Y. Star.

rhs slu. Of Human .lIsaa..

The Popular Science Monthly recent
" made some interesting observations
on the comparative size and form Of the
heads of the members Of different ma
tionalities. For example, 1t says: The
usual size for an adult Englishman is
MOI. Germans have round heads. Ma
lays small ones The heads Of Portuguese
average from six inches and seven
eighths to seven inches; those OF
Spaniards are . little larger The heads
Of Japanese excel the English average.
Men that have much 70 do with horses
are said TO have the smallest heads;
and a rough relation appears to exist be-

mental capacity.

CANADIAN TRADE.
a RetaIiatory Policy Urged Against
the United States


the United States
HALrFAx, N. s., Oct. S.-Sir John
Thompson, Minister Of Justice. arrived
at Antigonish yesterday and was pre-
sented with an address. In reply he re-.
ferred to the trade question He
said the government was op-
posed to unrestricted reciprocity,
which would ruin Canada g
manufactures, but was 10 favor Of
reciprocity In natural products. This,
he said, the United States would not
accept. The opposition wished the
government to 90 to Washington and
say that Canadians would starve without
reciprocity. This wasn no wav TO make a
bargain. The government would not do
this, but Messrs. Cartwright, Wiman,
Shalton and Longley had gone TO
Washington to beg for reciprocity.
Within four weeks Of their visit the
United States had adopted the highest
tariff they ever bad, and trade relations
with the United States were worse than
ever. Sir John said the government
was finding new markets In Japan,
China and the West Indies.
He stated that during the past two
years, since the West India line of
steamers had been subsidized, Canada
had sent more farm products to the
West Indies than It had sent TO the
United States during any two
years Of reciprocity treaty. This, he
declared, showed the success OF Wig.
OTous trade policy.
