The Tramp.

From the CornhiH Magazine.
The fields are all sweet with hay,
The brakes are all bIithe with song,
On the hedges rose garlands sway, :
Convolvulus clusters throng,
AS shoeless, and tattered, and grimy, and
gray,
He shufies along.
A skylark sings high above,
A thrush from yon hanging bough,
Far away in the wood dove;
But he passes with scowlin2 brow
Their melodies once he was wont to love;
He hates them now.
Hates all; save the sheltering night,
When under bank he creeps,
And Squalor is out Of sight
The hunger its distance keeps,
And uumocked by tho birds and the mead
osvs bright
His misery sleeps.

Careless people certainly do some very
astonishing things at times. Last Sunday a
Pennsylvania miner at shenandoah put q
dynamite cartridge in his stove to dry. It
dried. While the family was at supper the
cartridge got out OF that stove without as
sistance- It tore 81, 500 worth of shape and
material out of the house and fired the
children through the opening. If they all
recover 10 will be due more to their distance
and native durability than to anything else.
Now the miner is sorry he put that cart.

There wss no occasion for the senator to
make a remark like that. He doesn't throw

the nomination if he would announce his
willingness to take it, but if he makes no
effort to get it, Harrison. in the senator's
opinion, will be the nominee Evidently
the senator thinks his own chance Of getting
it is not very good one.

One of the most astonishing things to the

According to the statement of the New

is what is called "the paper city" of ITALIA
poosa. which is roundly denounced as a
wildcat enterprise without tangible basis
for the fabulous profits promised to in
vestors. Intelligent investors are not likely
to regard the name of Ben Butler as one to
inspire confidence in any enterprise.

The last ukase of the Russian government
that everyone must attend church is a new de-
velopment of absoluteism. But it exempts
police on1csrs and political prisoners, and as the
population OF Russia is being rapidly divided

any necessity for charging the churches on &C.

Antiquity OF Playing Cards.

The game of cards was first played in
the east. and seems to have had mill
tarv origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at tie time of the
Crusades, and were first used by NEGRO
mancers to foretell fortunes. They soon
became a popular amusement in the
south Of Europe, where the Saracens
and Moors taught the people how to use
them, and card playing spread to all
parts Of the continent. The state records
of Germany mention the fact that Ru-
dolph /. in 1915, was fond Of the game
and PLAYED with his courtiers.
After the invention of paper the manu-
facture Of cards became extensive, but
declined somewhat when card playing
was forbidden by several of the German
states and by the English government
on account of the supposed immoral
tendency. Before the era OF paper, cards
in the Orient were made Of ivory, p3py-
rus and canvas, less frequently OF the
precious metals, and quite commonly Of
wood.-Ss. Louis Globe Democrat.

UNITED STATES COURT.
An Unusual Number OF Cases Disposed OF To-
day-Judge Dundv Pushing the
WOrk.Wtb Vengeance.

Yesterday was the busiest day in the
United States court of the session. Judge
Dundy is evidently determined to clear
or come as near clearing the docket as he
possibly can, if hard work will accomplish
that end. He pushed things in very
lively manner yesterday, and when court
adjourned last evening he had heard and
decided twenty-six cases. The most OF
them were whisky cases from the territory
with few larceny cases mixed in among
them.
In the case of the United States VS..
Harry Callahan, charged with introduce
ing whisky into the Indian territory, the
jury rendered verdict of guilty. and he
was sentenced to one day in jail and to
pay $40 and costs, on two counts. Mr..
Billins, charged with the same offense,
was given like sentence. Harry McDade,
charged with the illegal selling of whisky
in the Indian country, was found guilty
and assessed So and costs and one day IN

John Sullard, charged with falling to
post stamps, was fined S25 and costs, as
were also Frank Wyatt, Riley Harden. L..

A sTURBoRNLY CONTESTED CASE.

In the case Of the Bank of Colwich VS..
Eldridge & Campbell, live stock commits
sion merchants, which was being tried III
the court of common pleas, the jury yes
terday evening rendered a verdict in favor
of the defendants.
The case was a peculiar one in many
features and was the most stubbornly
contested of any that has been before the
court for some time as the fact that two
days were occupied in disposing of the
case, and only five witnesses were eX-
amined 1t involved the sum of 81, 300.
The facts in the case are that Eldrldge q
Campbell had loaned one Sam Russell, of
Colwich, the sum of money stated, which
he had drawn on them for IN various sums
at one time and another. About four or
five months ago he consigned a number OF
cattle to them here and instructed them
to reserve 81 300 from the proceeds of the
sale of the stock to balance their account
and to send the remainder OF such pro
ceeds to the Bank of Colwich, which in
structions they followed. Soon after this
the bank being unable to collect large
sum of money that Russell owed them,
took action to recover the money that the
cattle were sold for claiming that the
cattle belonged to them and not to Russell.
They failed to establish such claim in the
minds of the jury by the evidence offered,
and the verdict was rendered in favor OF
Eldridge g. Campbell yesterday evening
after about two hours deliberation.

A PLEASANT SCENE.

Rev. J. W. Horner closed his passionate
of the South Emporia avenue NJ. +. church
last Sunday, and left with his family yes
terday for their new home at New Hamp-
ton, Iowa At the close of the Sunday
school on Sunday morning, Superinten-
dant David Smyth. in behalf of the school
and her many friends, presented Mrs.
Kate Gertrude Horner, the pastors wife,
the finest set of silver tea spoons that
could be found, enclosed in very fine
silk plush case, with the initials &c. H., "
neatly engraved on them.
Mr.. Smyth made neat little speech, re-
ferring feelingly to Mrs, Horner's valu-
able and faithful services as a member OF
the choir and a teacher in the Sunday
school, and to the good cheer which her
presence always inspired during her con-
nection with this society, aud assuring her
that the church and school part with her
with profound regret. This affecting
scene caused many warm tears of affection
to flow, but Mrs. Horuer managed, be-
tween tears, to make a very pretty little
speech in accepting the present, which
was a complete surprise to her.
