He Pressed the Button.


A New York lawyer who was on u
sleepin-gcar the other night unwittingly
caused something of stir among his fe-
low-passengers. Every one had gone to sleep
and nothing arose to disturb the slumbers
of the travellers until a. IN Then the
bell in the porter's room began to ring
1t was one of those rings which settled
down to hard work at once and, as they
say, Just do nothing but saw wood. 1t
was a steady, perfectly contented ring.
Soon it became apparant that it was no
sprinter, but long champion, for
it rang and rang, as only an electric bell
can ring to wreck mems nerves. Some
one in the end of the car awakened and
grcaned
"For heavens sake, stop that racket! If
you want the porter, go out and get him.
Don't wake the whole car up.
But the ringing continued.
"For goodness sake, cried little man,
leaping into the aisle, his hair standing on
end, whats the matter? Is the hotel
on fire."
The bell sawed wood steadily.
'Stop that ringing! bawled full
lunged man, sticking his head out between
the curtains, and glaring savagely at the
little man
A baby woke up and began to howl.
Its mother tried to calm it, and its father
swore like a trooper. He threated to have
the life of the man who was making that
"infernal noise and the bell blazed away
as merrily as if it were tweuty-four- hour
alarm clock
Everybody in the car awakened except
two people-the porter and the New York
lawyer. Then delegation started to the
porters room to assassinate him. They
found him dozing peacefully on seat,
while the bell was now carrying on its
work with the regularity of patent cir
cular saw warranted never to stop. The
wrathful passengers decided that before
they cut the pOrters throat it would be
wise to have him stop that bell They
pulled him to his feet, and shouted in his
ear, and when he opened his eyes they
! yelled
"Bell Stop the bell Stop that bell r.
The porter went down to the lawyer s
berth and stuck his head between the cur
tains.
''Did you ring, sab? ?" he asked There
was no answer from the lawyer, though
the bell kept up its ringing, while the
baby ran rival noise-making factory, and
its angry father invented magnificent
swear-words
"Did you ring, sab ?" repeated the por-
ter, and the nervous mother began to sob.
But the lawyer slept sweetly. One knee,
which had restlessly moved against the
panel in the night, press edthe button Of
the electric bell, and it and the baby did

A Prize story,

From Sacramento lcal.] Record. Union.
One winter there was such an unusual
run of salmon in the Sacramento river
that in forcing their way up stream they
ran against and hroke several piles that
supported railroad bridge, and it sagged
in the center, making it unsafe for train
to pass over it. It was near train time,
and the salmon, noticing the damage they
had done, got together, piled one on top
of the other, raised the bridge to its pro-
per level and held it up until the train
passed over it in sale;y

For THE LAwYERs.-A good story is
told of Judge Kent, the wellknown
American jurist. A man was indicted for
burglary, and the evidence showed that
his burglary consisted in cutting hole
through a tent in which several persons were
sleeping, and then projecting his hand and
arm through the hole and abstracting vari-
GUS articles.
It was claimed by his counsel that, as
he never actually entered into the tent
with his whole body, he had not committed
the Offense.
Judge Kent told the jury that if they
were not satisfied the whole man was in
volved in the crime they might bring in a
verdict of guilty against so much Of him
as 'cds thus iRu0lued.
The jury, after brief consultation,
found the right arm, right shoulder, aud
the head of the prisoner guilty of the Of
fense of burglary.
The judge sentenced the right arm,
right shoulder, and head to Imprisonment
with hard labor in the State prison for two
years, remarking that, as to the rest cf tie
mans body &c might do NTH il as he
pleased
