A small pisc. Of Justice.


In small town not many miles from
Erie, Pa, there was case before the
justice of the peace that was settled very
summarily.
1t appears that a Mr.. Jones had beaten
Mr.. Browns dog with club for chasing
his chickens. They met at the Office of
the justice, each accompanied by law
yer. and bound to see the thing through,
no matter what it cost. AS Jones and
Brown were prominent citizens of the
town large crowd assembled at the
trial, expecting to hear some great
oratory from the lawyers.
The justice was very pompous and
ignorant old fellow, who was great on
big words, no matter whether appropri-
ate or not. The case was called, the
witnesses who had seen the clubbing
gave their testimony, and Jones lawyer
arose to open for his client, when the
justice said:
Hold on, Mr.. Lawyer, there is no
use argifying or condisputing about this
matter, as there is no case of assessity
for it. Mr.. Jones was highly unwrong
in beating Mr.. Browns dog, so / fine
him ten dollars for cruelty to dumb an
imals, and that is all there is about it."

Do Men LlLs Prison Lie,

l think, said detective the other
day, there must be fascination about
life in Jail, for certain men who have
been in there for little while seem to
leave it with regret, and do not lose
their interest in what goes on In prison
for some time after they are released.
Again and again / have noticed men
who have been confined for few
months come back every day after their
release and stand at the door, looking in.
They had no friends in there, unless
they made friends among the other
prisoners, and they did not speak or
wish to speak to any one. They leaned
against the grated door and looked in,
as if they wanted to come back.
really think some of them become
attached to the life, and one reason is
that unless they are men OF gentle feel
ings they do not feel the shame Of their
position as long as they are inside, but
when they come out and meet other men
they know they have the Jail stain on
them, and they imagine every one sees 1t.
/ Ihave often watched them standing
there by the door, and wondered what
feeling it was that drew them back

Importance Of ACHIEVING victory,

The Importance of achieving victory
is so urgent and the disastrous conse-
luences of defeat are so manifest that
no chances which may aid in winning
the battle must be neglected. The de-
pressing effect upon the country and the
party which would inevitably follow q
Democratic .repulse in November was
truthfully portrayed by Mr.. Cleveland
in his speech. and he emphasized the
necessity for systematic and intelligent
effort ON the part of all who are enlisted
in our cause" Vigorous fighting and
brilliant campaigning alone will not win
the election. That army fights most
successfully whose forces are most COM
pactly organized and whose movements
are directed by an intrepid, skillful and
confident commander. The valiant sol
diers of Democracy can safely trust the
wisdom and the courage Of their leader
in this campaign.-C Chicago Herald.

KINDLY DONE.
A Pretty Story of Clever French Critic
and His Two Friends

and His Two Friends.
Many odd and amusing stories are
told of the clever French critic, Jules
Janin, and his friends. None is more
pleasing or more to their credit than
one in which Janin, Theodore Burette.
the historian. and Leon Satayes, the
composer. author and critic. figured.
One of Janin's best friends was an old
aunt, who sent him to school when he
was boy, kept house for him and took
good care of him when he, young
man, was making his reputation, but
not much money, in literature.
1t was perhaps in memory of her that
he made protege of poor old woman
whom he noticed one day in the street.
He placed her in home for aged per-
sons, and until her death years after
ward was her thoughtful and generous
friend. The good woman was very i'll
once, and when she was convalescing
she said:
Il want to go and call on NJ. Janin
must see him once more before die"
One of the women of the institution
went with her. Janin was living then
in the top of house which commanded
a beautiful view of the garden of the
Luxembourg. His "garret" was filled
with books and pictures, but like any
other garret it was reached by climbing
a great many stairs. Slowly and pain
fully the old woman toiled up the long
flights. She had to sit down often to
rest. 1t took her nearly two hours to
reach the top. Janin was breakfasting
with Theodore Burette.
He received her with great cordiality
and affection, and the three had happy
breakfast. The two men devoted them
selves to entertaining her. They in
Quired all about the home, the rules, the
diversions, the food, her recent illness,
and listened with genial interest to all
she had to say. She said goodby, and
they made ready to escort her down
stairs.
1--WE will return your visit soon" they
said, and placing themselves on either
side of her they began to descend the
stairs. But the effort and excitement
had been too much for the feeble old
lady. Her limbs failed her and she
could not take step.
Just then Satayes appeared on the
scene. 1--WE must carry her down." he
said. So they placed her comfortably
in an armchair. Janin and Burette,
who were small men, took the back,
Satayes took the front, and they went
down fight after fight of the many
storied house breathless but cheerful.
"Well, my good woman" gasped Sa
tayes, 81 don't know of any queen who
has carriage like yours"
The three literary workers were hardly
in training for their achievement, but
they placed her safe and sound on the
sidewalk, and saw her go away with her
attendant, her old heart deeply touched
and pleased with the attentions she had
received. Youths Companion.

that the Democracy desires to check.

Tow Horse Tha. Know. Something.

Tow HORSE 1hnt KNOWS something.
A Washington driver says that there
is an old gray hill horse there that some
times cannot get back TO his accustomed
place at the foot of the hill in time for
the next car. This horse has nothing to
do with the blue line, and knows the
difference between the blue and tho
brown cars. III he is on his way back
to the starting point and sees brown
car coming, this shrewd animal will
turn around and stand alongside the
track waiting for the car TO reach him.
No amount of coaxing can induce him
to move, but after the car reaches him
he will "pull like major" until he
reaches the top. Then he returns TO his
post, and when he again sees his car
coming turns and gets into position.
A day or two ago the hill boy. instead
of walking back with the horse or rid
ing him, as was his usual custom,
jumped on car and rode down. The
horse saw this and stopped half way up
the hill and would not move until the
boy came after him. Whenever the boy
rides on the car the horse stops half way
down the hill, but when the boy remains
with him the old gray pursues tho even
tenor of his way until he reaches the
bottom.-Our Animal Friends.

funeral is the presence in the procession
of the coupe of the deceased, the horse

somber and picturesque, and Is espe-
