OF course everybody came to the tlial.
The arrangements were soon found to
be altogether too meagre. Pitblado's
shed was filled to Overlooking and Bag

featured fellow from Galveston, il ad
hustled about with surprising agility on
the day previous, holding mysterious
conference with ill-conditionod fellows
oil Gueldo's kidney.
The court was assembled, the iurv
had been chosen, and the witnesses
were all present save one-Blake's
widow.
Pretty soon there was a stir at the
door, then 4 murmur OF surprise ran
through the crowded room.
"May l be id" said Jake Smith,
audibly, "if she hasn't brought her
babyw
With some difficulty way was made
through the throng to her seat, which
had been placedon oncsidc OF tho Judge,
directly opposite the candlc.box on the
other where Antonio sat. She took her
place and never moved during the whole
OF the trial, excepting rs she was re.
Quircd to testify, and once when tho
baby tugged at some glistcning thing
that lay hidden in the folds OF her dress,
at which she took pains to distract its
attention with chip from the floor
As for the baby, it sat there with its big
blue eyes open to their fullest extent,
entirely absorbed in tho novel scene,
save at the moment when that irresist.
IDLE glitter caught Its eye.
Every one being now present, the
trial went on i'll good earnest. a mum.
Der OF witnesses werc examined, whose
testimony showed That Gucldo had had
trouble with Blake, and more than once
Threatened" his life; that Gueldo's
pistol was one charge empty on tho
evening OF the day OF tho murder,
whereas i'll the morning it had been
iull; that he was seen that morning
around Blakes house, and more than
that, Blake's widow had heard Ciueldo's
voice just before the fatal shot, and had
seen his rctreating form rs she ran out.
At this last point the Galveston
lawyer asked the witness few cues
tions regarding how she knew it was
Gueldo's, and how she had recognized
tho voice for his. She didn't know how
exactly, but was none tho less sure for
that. ~

old and New School.

That the manners of our fathers arc not ours, says the New York Eceniag Sun, is we'll enough understood. and the phrase ''of the old schoor has come to be used rather as reproach to the degenerate present generation. An old lady who belonged to the times when courtesy was perhaps more gen. oral, as it certainly was more elabor- rate, than it is now administered rath- CT nearly rebuke to lad who did not come up to her ideas.
 She had known the boys father when he was in Harvard. as now was the son, and as the latter could hardly remember his parents. who died in his infancy. he was always eager to learn all he could about them.
 The youth was invited to call upon the old lady, who is now beyond the term set by the psalmist for mans life, at country place one day last summer, and had an interview with her upon the wide veranda. where she was sitting when he arrived. He lift ed his hat, and then. replacing it upon his head. went on talking with the old dame. who regarded him with looks of disapproval
 "Do l look like my father?" the young man asked. at length.
 Il can not tell i" the old lady replied. dryly. ''l never saw him with his hat on when he talked with q lady"

THE QUEEN BAPTIZED IN BLOOD.
An old Dutch Legend That Originated a
 Method of Punishment.


 The Dutch who settled in Elizabeth town, N. J.. in l7s6, brought with them from the fatherland a mode ol execution that was the result of an old Dutch legend. which relates that in olden times a reigning queen had hab- it of bathing daily in human blood.
 No method was then known of ex- tracting all the blood from the body. so that hundreds of lives were daily sacrificed to satisfy her majesty's ec- centric desire. As there was great danger of depopulating the whole coun- try, the court fool conceived the idea of .'zffrow," wooden shell shaped like woman and lined inside with hundreds of daggers.
 The victim was placed inside and by touching spring trap the machine would close violently, and the unfortu- nate wretch would be pierced through and through with hundred holes, through which the life's blood would quickly pass out. The blood would pass down through pipe to the queens bath tub, and when sufficient was in she would hathe. The machine sacri- feed thousands of young maids and boys, whose blood the queen preferred to the blood of adults. Following the regime of carnage the machine was used for the execution of criminals up to the eighteenth century, when it was discarded in this and the mother coun- try New York Press

Why Hair Turns Gray.

The coloring matter of the hair fl contained in little pigments at the roots of each spear, which depend upon the general strength of the system to keep them supplied. If one becomes weak and debilitated the coloring mat ter cannot be deposited fast enough, and the hair gradually loses it's color. Sometime when health and strength are returned to the system the colo, returns to the hair. for the pigments begin the work moro rapidly of secret ing the coloring material. If they are killed. however. nothing can induce them to renew their work. and the hail becomes permanently gray.-Yankee Blade.

The Skeleton in the Closet.

Every family is supposed to have a skeleton in it's closet remarked Dr. Wheeler. of Wichita. Kas., to n party of friends who met him at the Union Depot last night. .'I had one in my closet until this week, when I shipped it to the Michigan State University. l don't want to see it again.
 'It happened like this: Many years ago when commenced the practice O! medicine in small Missouri town the Jesse James boys paid us visit. They raded the bank and got away with $6. 900. but firing was pretty general on both sides. l had n revolver, and dur ing the general excitement I shot one of the robbers. He was dead when we picked him up. A finer specimen of physical manhood 1 have never seen. The natives in the little Missouri vil- lage made no objection when l claimed the youths skeleton as my prize.
 Last week. one rainy night about II o'clock, a genuine old-fashioned frontiersman came to my office. He asked my name, then inquired if 1 had skeleton in my closet. His face was bearded and sunburnt, but there WAS something about him that made me think of the young man had killed many years before. 1 was alone in the office and didn't like the color of the visitors eye. However. 1 answered his question in the affirmative.
 Let me see the skeleton? said my queer visitor.
 ''lt would scarcely do to refuse. walked to the rear of the office, where there was small table out of sight of my visitor. l drew out from the desk a revolver, the same one that had end. ed the career of the youthful bandit years before. Holding it in my hand stepped to the closet. threw open the door. and remarked with as much coolness as l could command by force of will:
 "'There is the skcletonn
 Put up your revolver remarked the stranger. I won't hurt you If had wanted to shoot you would have killed you when came into the office. l have just been down in Oklahoma and am on my way back to Tennessee. heard the story of your killing one of the gang. and as near as 1 can make out it was my boy that was killed. He ran away from homo when only l2 years old. and I nev.r saw him after that, l don't hold any grudge against you. You did what was right. suppose. But thought would take this chance to see what is left of the poor boy.
 Il then showed the stranger the skel- eton, which was handsomely mounted. and described the raid as briefly and as gently as possible. The old pioneers only rsmark as he gazed upon all that was left of his boy was, We'll. he was big fellow, wasn't he? ?"-Kansas Csty Times.
