in conversation with the New York

superstition, but we've all got It; every
member Of my family feels the same

''It was this way: In the year III
we moved to New York. We lived in
Seventy-first street. Next year we
moved up to Seventy-second street, and
in another year we moved still one
more street uptown.
"This we continued to do for several
years. During the time was prosper.

JUDGES SALARIES.

Justice Field Of the Supreme Court
of the United States, who has the
reputation Of being such an able ju-
rist that he can give good, and appar-
emily satisfactory, reasons for decid
ing case whichever way he pleases,
has scored point against Attorney
Gener Miller, though in doing 80 he
brings the Neagle-TeIry shooting
afray at Lathrop, Cal, into promi-
hence. There is a statute of the
United States which provides that
any United States Judge or Justice
holding oourt outside OF the usual
place shall be paid ton dollars per day
in excess Of his salary. Justice Field
organized and presided in the new
Appellate Circuit Court in San Fran
cisco. A Washington dispatch says
upon his return to that city he pre-
seIted a bill for per diem for the
time he was actually on the bench
and for mileage to and from Califor-
MIA. He explained that while his le-
gal residence is in San Francisco, his
official residence is in Washington.
and, therefore, he 10 entitled to trav
cling expenses. Attorney General
Miller dissented from that opinion,
and Justice Field promised to call
again.
When Justice Field next visited the
Attorney Generals Office ne presented
nm amended bill, charging ten dollars
for every day he had been absent
from Washington, as well as travel
ing expenses for the round trip to
San Francisco and back. He argued
that the Court was In session every
day from the date Of his departure to
the date OF his return. The Attorney
General com battad the assertion,
whereupon Justice Fold quoted from
the opinion of the Attorney General
i'll the Neagle-perry case to the effect
that the court was considered to be
organized when the judge is travelling
On official business.
This ruling CT the Attorney General
saved Neagle, who shot Judge Terry,
from being indicted for murder by
the State of California. The quota
tion was sufficient to convince the At
torney General, and Justice Field
collected the amount which he claims
was due him,--[Reno Journal.

the north swept down the valley, Shaf'
ing the windows in thoir case'
ments and rocking the little house on
It's foundation. Almost paralyzed with
fear, Ruby crouched down by the crib,
expecting every new blast Of wind to
wrench the frail building TO pieces.
Several hours passed before there was
any abatement in the storm, and then
when Dick did not make his appearance,
her an xiety about the safety of herself
and baby gave way to dread concern
ing his fate. While the wind shrieked
and the snow fell in binding sheets,
she comforted herself that he was snug
ly housed in the village beyond, but
when he did not come in a reasonable
length of time after the storm had sub
sided she became greatly alarmed, and
over and over again wandered down the
drifted lane calling wildly for him to
come back. At last, almost in despair,
she made her way to the cabin of her
nearest neighbor, who, with quick
western sympathy, went at once to
rouse some of the villagers to aid in the
search. He found out that Diok had
started for home some time be-
fore the blizzard struck the town,
hence must have been lost after
he entered the long lane lead

Aunt Rachel, with meaning look at
the display of ribbons and lace heaped
upon the bed.
"Of course every girl wishes to look
her best on her wedding day." said
Ruby, following the direction of her
aunt's eye. "You know that important
event is supposed to come but once in
lifetime"
"Much allowance is always to be
made on these occasions, and if people
are able to afford so much extravaganza
just for the purpose of gratifying
their vanity for single hour, do not
know that anyone has right to OBJ
ject," returned the aunt, charitably.
''It is the after-living that is most i'm
portant, and hope that your love will
prove deep enough and broad enough
and lasting enough to outlive all the
discomforts and inconvenience of a
home in the wilderness"
II am certain it will" responded
Ruby, gayly. "Love in a cottage
Dick as its object--will be as enduring
as life itself"
81 trust you will not be disappointed,
sighed Aunt Rachel, but there is so
much difference between the lover and
the husband that it is not safe TO meas
ure married life by eourtship"

A TRUSTY BEAR.
How Bruin Took Care of His Masters
Sheepfold.

How Bruin Took Care of His Masters
Sheepfold.
Tom is the name of big tame bear,
owned by Pennsylvania farmer. The
bear has pen between the house and
barn, and long chain fastened to his
collar lets him play all around the
pen. One moonlight night the farmer
was awakened by a great growing and
rattling of the chain. Looking out of
the window and seeing nothing, he
shouted at Tom to keep quiet; but just
then Tom broke his chain, ran to the
barnyard fence and quickly climbed it.
The farmer pulled on his clothes and
ran out to the barnyard and found Tom
trying to make wild bear drop sheep
which he had stolen from the yard.
The sheep was bleating and kicking in
the bears paws, and Tom was dancing
around the thief, cutting him and doing
his utmost to head him off. The wild
bear lodged to the right and left and
then suddenly dropped on all fours,
seized the sheep by the neck with his
teeth and started to drag it along the
ground. Tom sprang upon his back
at once and bit him in the neck, and
then the wild bear let go the sheep and
gave battle to Tom. During the fight
the farmer ran to the barn and got an
AK, but for long time he had no chance
to use the weapon. Finally he saw his
chance and buried it in the wild bears
neck, and Tom then easily finished him.
Golden DAYS.

with the light Ruby had placed in
the window, one of the men stumbled
over dark object which proved to be
Dicks half-frozen body. He was not
dead, but it took hours of patient rub
bing and bathing to coax back the
heart-throbs that at first seemed to
have stopped forever. During those
hours of terrible suspense, Ruby had
plenty of time to review the stormy
scene of the afternoon, and in deep re-.
morse to weep over the estrangement
which her hasty words had caused.
Over and over on bended knees she be-
sought the dear Lord to give back the
precious life trembling in the balance,
and when, at last, the doctor said he
would live, she accepted the gift with
a vow that in the future the doors of
her lips should be kept with all dill
gence.
1t was weeks before Dick was able
to go about his daily work again, but
these days of pain and waiting were
not lost, for out of them grew an un.
derstanding between the young couple,
which enabled them to keep their lives
from drifting apart by faithfully OBJ
serving the little home courtesies
which have so much to do with keep
ing the fire of love burning brightly in
the bosoms of those who day after day
gather around the same hearthstone.

Through which we pass to life ngaini
The fruitful seed beneath the sod
In infant bud and bloom may risei
But by the eternal laws OF God

The leaves that trembled on the tree,
Fall meath the stroke of autumn storms;
But by some mighty mystery,
With spring return In other forms
As currents OF the surginR sea,
From undiscovered sources Cow,

In this brief life we mey not know.
But oft some unexpected CLEANS
OF past and unrememhered years
Break through the doorway Of our dreams,
And some familiar face appears.

Amid the change from death to birth,
Whose beaming eye and loving smile
Recall some former scenes Of earth.
And thus unconscious Of tho tie ....
The mystic link which love creates
Perhaps we see our own who die
In newer forms and other states.
Perhaps with every cycle passed
In all the ages yet TO be,
Our loved will come to us at last
As parted waters find the sea.
Not wholly clad as they were seen
When death unbound their robes Of clay:
But with seraphic face and mein,
And souls that cannot pass away.

OVER The WAY.

When cod.hearted poverty knocks at my door,
And robs me Of blessings gathered before;
Pakos glass from my table, u coal from my
fire,
And robes my dear Bessie in meanor attire,
envy sometimes IN the heat of the day
My very good friend who lives over the way.
But when sit down att my pleasant freside,
And count over the joys was never denied
My sweet little wife and the babes at her knee,
My health and my conscience unsulied and
FREQ
No longer suffer my wishes 20 stray,
Or envy my friend who lives over the way.
He's wealthy, but feeble; he's titled, but old;
His son Is spendthrlft, his wife is u scold;
Suspicious OF others, ill-pleasod with himself,
His only delight is to reckon his pef.
Were he ten times as rloh I'd refuse, night OF
day,
To change with my friend who lives over the
way.
Though poverty, frowning, peeps in at my door,
I'll neither be beaten nor vainy deplore;
I'll scare him away by hard work II 1 cam
And look in his face with the heart Of man;
And, hiving at home all the joys that l may,
Forget my poor friend who lives over the way.

A Terrible Rifle.

The very latest invention in the way
of magazine small arms, and one moi
yet submitted to the United States army
board, is the gun that has just been put
in test by the Italian authorities. The
rifle is four feet longand of the smallest
caliber yet attempted, .256-inch. Tho
speed of the bullet is 1880 foot-seconds
and As regards its penetrative force it il
said that the ball will pierce two mat
tresses and two planlss five inches thicl,
at a distance of nearly mile, Loading
is effected by means of chargers con
tanning five cartridges arranged so thai
a repeating fire may be obtained until
the magazine is exhausted. Many OF
the experts who attended the trials are
of the opinion that the weapon is the
most destructive at present existing
among European armies.

"Such a question to ask on the very
eve of my bridal day." laughed Ruby. Il
sincerely hope you do not think me that
fckle, my dear conscientious aunt"
II never thought you tickle, Ruby;
but the question with me is, do you love
this man you are going to wed well
enough to give up all the comforts and
pleasures of your fathers house for his
sake? In my eyes il is no small sacri-
fee to forsake the companionship of
tried friends and go off hundreds of
miles to make a home for a stranger in
the wilderness" replied Aunt Rachel,
in a respondent voice.
But, Aunt Rachel, you must remem-
ber that Dick Walton is no stranger to
me. We have known each other all
our lives" Ruby returned, brightly.
"When you are acquainted with him
you will not wonder that count it no
sacrifice to give up SO much for his
sake. He is the best man in the
world"
sit is right that you should think so,
at least" laughed her aunt. "But, Ru-
by, it will require great deal of love
to make up for all the comforts and
conveniences of your pleasant home.
You have not been accustomed to the
hardships of frontier life, and it will
require more courage than you antici-
pate to begin housekeeping as your
grandmother did more than half CEN
tury ago."
'Any place where Dick lives will be
home to me-" insisted Ruby, little pet
ulantly.
"What will you do with all these fine
things in little tworroomed cabin?''
questioned Aunt Rachel, with a wave
of the hand in the direction of the table
loaded with handsome wedding pres
ents.
Pack them away in the closet until
we are able to build a house suitable
for their display" was Ruby's quick
response. The truth is, aunt, people
make great mistake in giving such
presents. Why don't they show good
common sense in selecting suitable
gifts for western bride?"
People do many foolish things in
connection with weddings" admitted

THE CLOCK WOULD TALK.
1t Almost Broke Up the Clergyman'G
Wedding Prayer.

1t Almost Broke Up the Clergyman's
Wedding Prayer.
Something unexpected happened in
East Twenty-eighth street, around the
corner from Madison avenue. There
was a quiet parlor wedding at the house
of physician-a well-known doctor,
by the way--and about twenty friends
! were present to witness the ceremo-
ny. The bride was the physicians 8
eighteen-year-old daughter, and the
groom was the son of Brooklyn
brewer.
There was to be honeymoon trip
after the marriage, and the mother of
the bride, with true maternal foresight,
had put French travelling clock in her
daughters pocket 1t was little bit
of clock. Somehow it got wound up
wrong. AS the couple stood up with
the minister under the floral bell a
| hush fell on the small mblage,
and the hush deepened as they kneit
on velvet cushion while the preacher
prayed.
80, Lord" said the preacher, ''let Thy
blessing rest upon this -"
Br-r-r-r! pink! pink! pink! burst out
the measly little alarm clock in tone
| of awful distinctness.
The venerable preacher opened one
eye querulously, but quickly closed it
! again as he saw the grooms father
scowling at him over his spectacles
from the corner of the room.
20, Lord" said the preacher, begin
| ming again, 'let Thy"
Br-r-r-r! pink! pink! pink! came
ont from the depths of the brides
pocket
80, Lord" said the preacher, in a
voice of desperate calmness, opening
both eyes and closing them again like a
| fash, ''let thy bless"
Br-r-r-r! pink! pink! plinll plinkl
| pink! pink!
The minister stopped. The bride,
whose face was very red, and who had
been trying in vain with her left hand
to choke off the clock or shake it into
submission, snatched it from her pocket
and passed it to the groom, who hapded
it to his best man, who handed it tG the
brewers wife, who glared at it and
| handed it to her husband who went out
| into the hall, actually shaking his fist
at it as he went.
The minister began his prayer once
more, and as he said so Lord" for the
fourth time there was a loud bang out
in the back yard, which indicated that
the alarm clock had struck the fence
with terrific force.-N. Y. Times

A welcome relief from the overworked
bell skirt idea is the daring innovation
of famous French milliner, and ex-
pressed in one of the daintiest of sum
mer materials, striped moire, cream
white, with lines of the Pompadour
colors. blue, green a nd pink. The striped
material is draped in fitted tablier
over a plain petticoat, ornamented with
three ribbon ruches; each made of the
three colors in the stripe, as follows;
Ribbon, two inches in width, green in
color, and plated in box plaits, and
through the center of this the pink rib
bon, half an inch wide, is plated and
overlaid in turn by the blue, still mar
lower. The single row of stitching
through the middle leaves the loose full
edge to flutter out in soft frou-frou of
color, Through the center of this tab
lier the stripes meet in a succession of
mitred points, which continue up into
the bodice. A tight-fitting jacket of rich
lace covers the bodice in the back and
slopes back in front, exposing Il girdle
of the plated ribbon. Full sleeves fin
ish at the elbow with broad lace ruffies
over undersleeves of lace. The train,
cut in the conventional lines, is finished
