One day while the Anarchist triai was
going ON in Judge Gary's court, Mr.. William
King, who is upward Of so years old, sought
admission, but was told he could not go IN.
Going to the state attorneys office, Mr.. King
explained that he was an old friend OF Judge
Gary, and he was sure the judge would let
him in If he knew he was there. Mr.. Furth-
piann told him the court room was full, but
that he would try to find a place within the
bar. In few moments the two entered tho
court room, and started to walk down the
aisle.
Sit down. said Judge Gary, sternly.
'sYour honor explained Mr. Furthmann,
"this is an old friend of yours
''Sit down. said Judge Gary, louder and
more sternly.
Mr.. King looked as if he would like to have

swallow him There was no place for him to
sit down, and still the judge kept calling for
him 10 do 50. He looked appealingly at his
old friend, but the old friend only glared on
him savagely and repeated the awful COM

Eccentricity at the dinner table seems
to be the rage this season. Any startling
or unique innovation appears to be vel

human face on an orange and then

ladies are at the table he takes greater
pleasure in exhibiting his artistic skill. \

and Others preserve a dignified silence.
Peeling an orange geoneSrically is another
accomplishment. The yellow rind is cut
in lines with a sharp penknife until it re-

attracting so much attention. The skin is
then stripped from the fruit in sections,
making quaint angles, made amusing by
the explanations accompanying them.
The apple, the Malaga grape, the radish
and the banana also afford much amuse-
