HomeIy But Useful.

The useful girl is not noticeable In any
way. Everybody makes use of her, and
everybody likes her. She has no enemies
and no lovers. Women like her very much,
and men speak highly of her when she is
brought to their attention in some way;
but they never think about her voluntarily.
They appreciate her highly when she helps
them out Of corner and thank her cor
daily, and then forget her until they need
her again. She is not apt to marry, for
men do not care for useful girls before mar
rage. She can sew, she can get dinner if
need be, amuse the children, assist In get
participate in, and she is an excellent nurse.

reached which is almost bare Of trees, but

J0SEPHINE'S STATUE.
How the Charcoal Girls of Fort de France
Protected 1t.

How the Charcoal Girls of Fort de France
Protected 1t.
Twenty years ago. when the uprising of
the communists had been sternly suppressed
in Paris, and many of the ring leaders had
paid the penalty of their misdeeds with
backs against dead wall and eyes con-
fronting file of grim soldiery. few menu
bers OF the defeated commune escaped and
fed wherever chance and opportunity led
them. Some reached Martinique, and were
not slow to air their doctrines among tbs
simple islanders.
To these refugees the statue of Josephine
seemed lasting reproaeh-an ever-present
evidence of the royalty they loathed and of
the Government they had left behind them.
They thought 1t would be fine thing to
deface this work Of art as they had effaced
so many in Paris. and dynamite was sctu-
ally procured and disposed to the best ad-
vantage around the base of the statue. But
the proceed ngs of these old country roughs
had been noticed by some of the women of
Fort de Observation-Disclosures charcoal
girls. strong and active porteuses, who had
no idea of allowing indignity to be offered
to La Joe Creole" When the destroyers
assembled to wreak their spite on the mar
BILE they found themselves seized by score
OF stalwart women. The ruffians were Sc
cured, tied hand and foot, and, since they
were caught in the act, no time was wasted
on trial. They were simply east, bound
as they were, into the bay. The waves
over which Josephine's boat used to speed
so lightly hundred years ago now roll over
the bodies of the vandals who would have
insulted her memory. Communism found
no congenial soil on Martinique and the
popular verdict was, "served them right"
1t all happened twenty years age, and you
will hear nothing of the tragedy to-day un-
less you inquire closely into the history of
Josephine's statue.-St. Nicholas for July.

why Mansion Was Never Occupied.


A romantic story was revealed in Bos-
ton court the other day in contest over the
$780, 600 estate of the late Samuel WEIGH
who lived In so many places that the Pro-
bate Judge doesn't know where to locate
his legal residence. For years fine-look-
ing brick house on Elm street, Somervile,
has remained untenanted. its windows and
doors heavily barred against entrance by
any one except the possessor of the key.
All sorts of ghost stories have been con-
jured up about this house, aud everybody
who lived in the neighborhood was con-
WINGED that. the house was haunted. The
ghost stories, however, vanished in the
light of the revelations in court. The house
was built by Mr.. Welch years ago with the
proceeds of lottery prize which he had
drawn. He was engaged to he married ami
the wedding day had been appointed.
When the intended bride heard that the
foundation of his wealth had been laid
through lottery investment she refused to
marry him. Mr.. WEIGH Immediately barred
up the house, which had just been COM
pleted, and would never give his consent 10
its being occupied. He then led rowing
life in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

NO FRAUDULENT INTENT.
Justice Henry Dismisses the Charge
Against J. A. Parker.
The Latter Did Not Give Whitaker a
Deed, as There Was a Cloud
Upon the Title.

Justice Henry yesterday dismissed the
charge against j. A. Parker of having
sold a piece of real estate to two parties
with intent to defraud one of them. The
order of dismissal was made on motion
of c. T. Jones, Mr.. Parker's counsel, as
soon as tho prosecution had closed its
testimony.
The charge was brought by Gaylord
Whitaker, who recently purchased from
Parker forty-acre tract near the Cosum-
nes River for 81, ,250.
Itappeared from the evidence that Par
ker had previously mortgaged the land to
James Bithell, and then sold it to Mrs
Fields, subject to the mortgage. The lat
ter did not keep up the interest payments
on the land, but Parker did to the extent
of some 800.
When Bithell wanted his money he
brought suit to forclose the mortgage. and
obtained a decree directing the property
TO be sold on the 18th instant. In the
meantime Mrs. Fields abandoned the
property and left for parts unknown.
Mr.. Parker being unable to find her, he
sought the counsel of lawyer :. S. Holl
as to the proper manner in which to pro-
ceed, stating that he had an opportunity
to sell the land to another party (Whitta-
kerr. He was advised to let the mortgage
be foreclosed and to regain title in his own
name.
Pending this result he sold the prop
erty to Whitaker for the sum named,
giving, instead of deed, a written agree
ment to the effect that If he should not be
able to pass clear title to the latter, he
(Parker) would repay the $3.50 received
from Whitaker toward the purchase
price.
Judge Holl was the last witness called
by the prosecution, and he stated that in
his opinion, as a lawyer, Mr.. Parker
course was the only one he could have
| legally pursued.
Justice Henry, in dismissing the case,
said that, from the evidence before the
court, the only damage that Whitaker,
the complaining witness, could possibly
suffer in the premises was of financial
character. The charge, however, was a
criminal one, in the name of the people,
and with that he had to deal. The evil
dence for the prosecution did not show
that Parker had claimed to give Whit
| taker clear title to the property at the
time of the tranSfer-that in short, the
written agreement between them showed
that nothing purporting TO be an absolute
deed had been passed TO the complaining
witness. On the contrary, it showed that il
Parker could not, at some indefinite period,
give title to the land he was to get his
money back and the sale was to be void
But Whitaker bad never asked Parker
for the $3.50 he paid on the purchase price,
and until the land was sold under Bithell's
judgment Parker could not give clear
title. There was nothing to warrant the
presumption that Parker intended TO de-
| fraud any one, and he therefore directed
the charge to be dismissed.
