The Judge, who had been listening to the
opinions offered by the others with the
same grim smile that occasionally orha-
mented his face when he announced thaI
an objection was overruled, now steppeu
forward and dropped a coin on the table.
He then rendered his decision as follows:
at appears that none of you have noticed
the forest of hooks IN the roof just over the
stove They are not in use at present, put
they are there for some purpose. l imagine
that during the winter huge pieces OF Vehl-
son and bears meat dangle over the stove,
and are dried for use later. Now, II the
stove were on the floor, it would be too tar
from the roof to be of service IN this way"
"Here comes old Tom," shouted the col
onel. who had stepped to the open door
while the Judge was speaking.
The old trapper put down the various
articles of baggage with which his arms
were loaded, and came into the Kitchen
cabin where we all stood. He glanced at
the group and then at the stilted stove,

him. He loaded an old shotgun with a
heavy charge of mustard seed shot and
gave it TO his 12-year old boy. with in
structionS to secrete himself as darkness
came on, and watch the patch till day
light. The orders to the boy were TO
shoot any one who appeared in the
patch.
Mr.. Hartgroves seemed to have Seri-
Gus doubts about the courage and watch
fulneSS of his sentinel. and was seized
with an uncomfortable desire to see
whether his son was asleep, and if not
whether he really would shoot. He
stealthily entered the patch and, proba-
bly, remembering how he used to act i'm
his younger days. assumed all the airs
of watermelon prOcurer. He seized
large melon and began TO deyour it
when the trusty sentinel opened fire.
and with good effect.
The first volley lodged several small
shot in his face and body. and second
yoley was about to follow when the
doubling father. fully satisfied, made
himself known. Mr.. HartgroyeS him
self does not give any particulars Of
the affair, and reporter would take
his life in his hands to attempt to inter
view him. The boy, however. gave
the old man away.

How the Judge Settled the Case.
Illrielnu LnnrnHL

A Maine Judge recently interviewed TO
prevent a waste of words. He was sit
ting in chambers, and seeing from the
piles of papers in the lawyers hands
that the first case was likely to be hard
" contested. he asked:
"What is the amount in question:
1.-TWO dollars, said the PLAINTIFF
counsel.
"Tn pay it," said the Judge, handing
over the money. Call the next case!'
He had not the patience of the tact
turn Sir William Grant, who, after lis
tening for couple of days to the argu-
ments of counsel as to the construction
of an act, quietly observed when they
had done: That act has been re-
nealed."

TRADES ASSEMBLY.

the trade ana labor assembly met Friday
evening with the usual large attendance.
The first report Of importance was that Of
the committee appointed to investigate the
application of the eight-hour day to the city
W ater works. The committee consulted an
a ttorney, and he thought 1t doubtful If the
council ordinance was binding on the water
works department. They find a tendency to
reduce the hours in that department., al
though the eight-hour day is not enforce !.
In view of the fact that most of the water
works department will be discharged as soon
as cold weather comes, the assembly decided
to defer any further action until spring.
The com Il ittee appointed to call OIL dealers
handling P. Cox 4 Co. S shoes reported that
very few of them handle Cox shoes, as the
quality is not so good as formerly. The New
England company, however, had on hand
quite a stock, but is willing to dispose or 1t
in any way the trades assembly may di-
rect. The Cincinnati company stated
q Co. last spring, but countermanded the
order on account of the trouble the firm was
having with its employees. From the report
it would appear that but few dealers handle
the shoes, and they are not at all anxious to
Z DO so.
A delegate reported that a contractor who
Is grading Fairview avenue is working his
menllong hours and boarding them at a sort
of pluck-me boarding house, much to the in
convenience OF the men. The assembly took
the view that such a policy is not one that
taxpayers or the general public would APP
prove. Delegates Murphy, Ryder and Kelly
were appointed to Investigate and report the
factsin the case.

dent Nalesh were elected TO represent the
