Although an omnivorOus reader, at least
so far as wholesome or harmless literature
was concerned, there were some books for
which Judge Black seemed to have an es-
pecial and insatiate fondness. First among
these stood the Bible; next Shakespeare,
and then Miltons Paradise Lost" The
last he did not quote so frequently, although
he was fond of referring to magnificent
copy of that great epic as the choicest
treasure in his library, but with the first
two his whole mental being seemed to be
thoroughly saturated-so completely So
indeed, that have no doubt he could have
readily repeated the greater portion Of
them word for word. Peculiar turns Of
expression, and frequently entire sentences
from both, dropped into his extemporane-
Gus speeches and social conversations, as
they often appeared in the more finished
productions of his pen, as naturally as the
most familiar phrases in the vernacular
Nor were these mere stock quotations,
grown threadbare from frequent use, as is
too often the case, but seemed to the hearer
to have been coined expressly for the
thought as it leaped fresh from the speak
er's brain.-J. Proctor Knott in Fetters

Some time ago "A section boss was sitting
idly by the station when Manager Tucker,
of the Maine Central railroad, stepped of
a train and asked him if he needed more
help. When the boss replied in the mega

along the track, picked up a couple of
bricks and removed them to their proper
place. every time have passed by here
for several weeks" he then remarked to
the boss, 81 have seen those two bricks ly-
ing there, and thought because you left
them maybe you didn't have help enough" "
With that he mounted the train again and
moved off, waving pleasant "goodby''
to the section crew, who will never no,
never, be caught in that way again.-Ken-

George Patton and Sam Willis went out

KILLED BY A MOSQUITO BITE.
1t Was q Very Little Thing That Caused 9
Mans Deaih in New York.

Mans Death in New York.
A mosquito bite was the cause Of Peter Ken
nedy's death at Bellevue, New York, yesterday
morning. Kennedy was a day laborer, sixty
nine years old and had large family. elived
at 2260 Sd avenue before he went into the hos
pital. Kennedy has been in Bellevue Hospital
for a week past Before his admission he at
tended the Harlem Hospital an outdoor pa
tienk. The bite was inflicted about ten days
ago. When Kennedy felt the bite of a mosquito
ON his left cheek he thought nothing about it.,
but injudiciously rubbed the spot where the
sting had been inserted. At first there was
slight hard swelling about the size Of split
anything more than an ordinary mosquito
bite.
After the FIRST nights sleep the lump, instead
of having disappeared, was still on Kennedy's
cheek, and showed disposition to increase in
size. Throughout the day he felt smarting
pain, with an undercurrent of dull throbbing
through all that side OF his face On the morn
ing of the third day Kennedy went to the Har-
lem Hospital. where one Of the physicians put
some spirit lotion on the iniamed surface of
the cheek. and told him that it would be all
right in q day or two.
In spite Of the doctors everyday remedy
the tissue around the spot where the mosquito
had sunk his sting grew steadily more and more
inhaned. Another visit to the Harlem Hos
pital convinced the physicians there that the
case was one requiring more serious attention,
so he was sent to Bellevue, which he reached
last Thursday. Once in Bellevue, Kennedy's
condition grew rapidly worse. Before the end
Of last week he became delirious with intervals
Of consciousness. By Monday last the inham-
nation had spread SO as to involve the mem
branes Of the brain. thus producing meningitis.
Shortly after midnight last night Kennedy died.
DR.. Van Loan, the Bellevue Hospital surgeon
who attended Kennedy, said this morning that
the death was undoubtedly due to the infam-
nation which followed the mosquito bite on
Kennedy's cheek.
