An I'M portant Person.

There are not few men who fancy that
because they are persons of wealth and CON
sequence in a community, they are exempt
from the duties and liabilities of the ordt
nary citizen. a man of this sort was drawr
to serve upon a jury and did not appear
when his name was called in court. The
court ordered that he be fined twenty-five
dollars
About half an hour afterward the man
appeared in the courtroom to answer tar
Oily to his name
You have been fined twenty-five dollar,
for nonattendance, said the judge.
But had very important business en-
gagementl" said the man.
Did you suppose that an engagement
would excuse you for not answering ths
summons of the court?" answered the judge
rather angrily.
The juror, who was pompous man with
an important air, began to grow indignant
at being addressed in this way.
Il would have your honor understand, F."
he exclaimed, that am one of the moss
prominent business men in this communi.
typ
"Oh! in that case" said the Judge quiet
ly, You will be able TO stand larger fne
Mr.. Clerk, you will increase this gentle
mans fine for nonattendance TO fifty dol
lars!-Youtn's Companion.

Killing a Bull without a Weapon

Cayetano, tie famous Spanish torero
once was strolling across meadow with a
couple of friends when their attention was
attracted by an old and Infatuated bull
which was galloping toward them with
lowered head and erect tail. Cayetano had
no weapon, not even n cane, but he seized a
dustcoat which one of his friends was car
rying over his arm. AS soon as the bull
got close to them, Cayetano babe his COM
panions make their escape while he en-
gagged the animals attention. Using the
coat as capa, he drove the bull crazy with
fury, stepping aside with the deftest agility
at each of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn sharply
in the midst of it's onward rusheS, until
finally an ominous crack was heard and
the bull fell in heap, with its backbone
broken by the sudden wrench given by the
animals abrupt swerye.-San Francisco
ArQOnaut.

He Had Els Eve on One.

A young man who, as advance agent and
manager, has been in the show business
less than two years, was learneily discuss
ing the single great danger which is at
present confronting the progress of the
drama. He was grouped with others in
the sitting room OF motel in this city as
he said:
Yes, sir, this growing tendency in all
large cities 70 indulge in clubs for the
study OF literature. history, art. music
and the sciences-that is what Is doing tie
work
One OF the few great representatives o.
what we like 10 cali the old school actor
was in the group and he dryly observed:
i know Il greater danger than that, and
I'm looking al one Of him now.
OF course the old man had his eyes fixed
upon the young man, and OF course the
young one saw the point; Not DIT Of it.
BE thought it was an awfu,ly good JOKE -

A frost bitten member never entirely re-
covers. There is gentleman in this city
who, eleven years ago, had his nose severe
IL frozen when on a long ride in Dakota
He did not know there was anything the
matter with his nose until he entered a
house, and the people began to tell him
what to do for it; then he went out and
held it in a handful of snow until he
thought it was sufficiently thawed out to
be useful But he was in too great hurry
and did not give it snow enough, and in the
course If an hour his nose was the size of a
goose egg and as red as a turkey gobbler's
proboscis.
Before he got it presentable for good so
ciety he had so much trouble with it that
he wished he had been born with no more
nose than a monkey. But that was only
the beginning of his tale of woe. Every
winter, with the first few cold days, his
nose turns red and swells He has tried
everything on the nose, but that useful
organ has never forgotten the i'll treatment
it received, and reminds him of it with
every advent of frost.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Longstreet in Peace.
E. J. EDWARDS.

ATLANTA, Jan. 11.-Few even of his old
division would recognize General Long
street now. The grim, stubborn, bulldog
fighter of Charlottesville, Sharpsburg
(Antietam), Gettysburg and the Wilderness
is now mild, peaceful looking, white
haired and white whiskered old gentle
man.
General Longstreet has suffered severe
losses. His fine house in Washington. Ga.
was burned to the ground, and his swords,
papers and many valuable relics were lost.
More recently he suffered greater Attic
ton in the loss of his beloved wife, shock
which has done more to age him than all the
assaults of war and time. 1t was a touch
ing sight TO see the meeting between Cen
eral Joseph +. Johnston and General Long
street in the rotunda of the Kimball II ouse
about the period above referred to. One
was still bowed under the weight of his
recent heavy afhiction, the other was soon
shortly to die.
As they shook hands amid the crowd
which surrounded them, the building shook
with cheers. Two old and tried comrades
had grasped each others hands for the last
time in life 1t was their last meeting. and
the scene touched the least sympathetic
man there present. Longstreet has lost lit
tie of his erectness of carriage, and traces
OF his old time fire aud tenacity OF purpose
are still visible, but age and grief for the
loss of his wife are beginning to tell upon
him, and soon he will be glad, Doubtless,
TO join his gallant comrades ''on the other
Shore" though there is not a man in the
south today but wishes him many long
and happy years OF that peace which he 50
earnestly advocated when the war was
over. aud that prosperity which he has
striven SO worthily to attain c. J.

A new form of draping the glass panel
in the front door is d deviation from the
simple muslin sash curtains. Presume
that the glass panel is fifteen inches wide.
Down the center, for space of about six
inches wide, is silk network in mesh as
