The scales of the blind goddess are
kept ousily fitting in the superior court
and justice is weighed out to number
of criminals every day. Thomas Me-
Lachiln was before the bar yesterday
for larceny. II there were no other
bars except those of the court Thomas
would undoubtedly be a better man,
but he loves to hnger where the ''Sour
Mash" fioweth like a river and tha
beer keg smothereth its fury into the
schooner and the snip. When under
the influence of such surroundings
Thomas loses that peculiar definitive
faculty which distinguishes mime from
thine and the loss OF it gets the loser
into trouble. 1t was so in this case.
Leonard Oortuerson, sat In maltese
meditation IN Bernard McCarthy's
saloon, Thomas saw his watch cham
hanging out of his pocket and by pull
ing geutly on 1t he drew forth u watch.
The fact that the watch and Thomas
were both missing half minute later
excited suspicion. He WAS arrested and
coroborative evidence was produced
that convinced the jury that he was
guilty and the court will name the pen
atty this morning.

Eugene Kingsley is young man
with face like walleyed pike. He is
charged with several counts of bur-
glary and larceny. By some oversight
he was arrested under the wrong
statute and the prosecutor filed his
reasons for not filing an information
against him. The court held the rea-
sons insufficient and ordered the case
nolle prosed. Young Kingsley pranccd
out of the court room with smile OF
delerous Joy and half dozen sympa-

late him. To his unutterable disgust

THE CHAMPION LIE.

Ihere are lies and lies. white lies and
black lies, but the champion lie of the
season comes from Georgia. W. T. Muir
ply. merchantin one of the small
towns of that state. says that. while he
was soldier in Virginia, he came
across a farmer who had just housed a
crib of popcorn, and pretty soon after
the hands had left it caught fire. Every
grain of the corn popped. and very
soon the whole plantation was covered
with the white corn. Amule, twenty
eight years old, which was in a barn
near by, saw the ground covered with
white corn and though the thernome-
ter registered ninety degrees in the
shade, the mule freze to death, think
ing it was terrible heavy snow.-Berk
