THAT LAWN MOWER.
A Wicked Husband Plays 1t on n Fond
and Foolish Wife.

A Belfast (Me.) woman got indignant
the other day at the shabby appearance
of the lawn about the house. After
moving down her husband with wrath,
she was soon on the lawn herself with
the lawn mower. Back and forth she
pushed the machine, while the sun
beamed soft and melting on the down
trodden woman and everything else.
From a shady nook her husband tim
idlyl watched her determined display.
For an hour, in which she must have
travelled dozen miles, she worked, but,
sad to relate, not a blade of grass
bowed to her indignant endeavors.
Finally her husband picked up cour-
age enough to address her:
Hadn't you better turn the machine
over, my dear?"
She did turn the machine over-into
the gutter-and swept into the house
with look that kept her husband at a
distance for several days.
PEARLS WORTH A MILLION.
Two Ladies' OF the Rothschild Family Pos
sess Chains of That Value.
The most curious among famous
pearls, according to the Pail Mall Bud
get, is that which, three centuries ago,
the French traveller, Tavernier, sold to
the shah of Persia for s675,0O 1t is
still in the possession of the sovereign
of Persia. Another eastern potentate
owns a pearl of 121< carats, which is
quite transparent. It is to be had for
the sum of 100000. Princess Yous-
soupof has an Oriental pearl which is
unique for the beauty of it's color. In
1920 this pearl was sold by Georgibus of
Calais to Philip ". of Spain at the
price of $4,000 ducats. To-day it is val
ued at 1925, 0O0 Pope Leo Kill, again,
owns a pearl left to him by his prede-
cessor on the throne of st. Peter, which
is worth 100000, and the chain OF
thirty-two pearls owned by Empress
Frederick is estimated at SITS, 1000 One
| million dollars is the price of the five
chains of pearls forming the collier
| Of Baroness Gustave de Rothschild.
| and that OF Baroness Adolphe de
Rothschild is almost as valuable. Both
| these ladies are enthusiastic collectors
| of pearls, and their jewellers have in
| structions to buy for them any pearl Of
unusual size or beauty which they may
| happen to come across. The sister Oh
| Nine. Theirs, Mile. Dosne, is also the
owner Of very valuable string Of
pearls, which she has collected during
the last thirty years. OF so-called blacl
| pearls the empress of Austria possesses
the most valuable collection.
| A story is told of the actress Mile
Marie Magnier and her pearls. One
day, as she was about to appear on the
scene, somebody made the remark that
her pearls were really of an enormous
size. 1T is true" she replied 1.-The
lady whom I represent on the stage nc
doubt wore smaller pearls in real life

The following letter was pre-
scented on Tuesday TO Judge Har-
vey, and had the deslred effect.
The Judge is generally severe on
whiskey men, but is always ready
to temper justice with mercy. On
account Of the high character of
the father Of the boys, whose
death few years ago, left the
boys, then OF tender age, without
the wise adviser which they
would have had in him had he
lived, as well as Of the sympathy
felt for their aged mother, the ac-
ton of the Court is heartily en-
dorsed, We hope the boys will
i've faithful to the promise which
they have made:
To tte lion. 1tob,os III. He,rcy, Jadqe

W. Pa:
We, Jerry Dempsey, Anderson
Dempsey and Mark Dempsey are
indicted in the court for unlawful
retailing of spirituous liquor in
about seven cases. Jerry Demp-
|sey was fined by your Honor at
the October term of the court,
1891, two hundred and fifty dol-
lars and costs; and Anderson
Dempsey was fined one hundred
dollars and costs, making about
four hundred dollars or more we
have to pay now. Jerry Demp-
sey and Anderson Dempsey are
indicted about six times and as
we engaged in selling whiskey, l
suppose we are guilty, and ask
for the mercy of the Court We
have quit the business and by the
help of God we expect to stay
quit. We have never sold any
whiskey since last October Court,
at which time we understood that
we were to pay the above men
toned fines, and the other indlct-
ments were to go off !; but, how
ever, there are six against us, and
we submit ourselves to your mer-
cy. We are poor boys and have
to work hard to support our aged
mother, and !, Jerry Dempsey, in
addition, to support my family,

ed in one case for unlawful retail

into the hands of the Court beg
ging for mercy.

this, but we are not able to en-

The health OF Chief Judge RueER has
been manifestly failing for 80 many months
past. that those familiar with the facts could
not have been surprised that any serious ut
tack OF illness should be fatal to him. His
death removes q notable figure in tho moro
recent political and judicial history OF the
Stnt". He was an intensely earnest and wig
oTous partisan In politics. but OF this nothing
appeared in his career rs Judge. In the
practice of the law he attained tho position OF
an acknowledged leader Of the bur long before
his advancement to the bench. Upon the
bench he continued to show the samo profos-
sional ability and industry which had made
him distinguished as lawyer: and. in addi-
ton. he manifested capacity for presiding
over the deliberations Of others which proved
assortment fitness for the high post to which
he had boon chosen.
1t is an almost inevitable incident Of the
