Pleading a rriend,s Case.

An excuse SO absurd as to put an en-
tire courtroom in good humor was given
not long ago before an English magis-
trate. A name was called by the usher,
q voice answered, "'EreT and a man
with lame leg stumped up to the table
and said the defendant could not appear.
"Why?" asked the magistrate.
"Well, your worship, he's i'll. He's
very bad indeed, SIR"
whats the matter with him"
"He's got VERY bad leg, SIR"
"What's the matter with it?'
"Well, your worship, it's like this ERE.
It's got wrong in the j'ints, sir"
"Has he got rheumatismP'
"Well, sir, faint that 'zackly. It's a
cork leg, and the spring in the j'int 'as
gone wrong"
The magistrate himself could not help
joining in the laughter which filled the
court at the absurdity Of one man with
a disjointed leg pleading the cause of a
similarly afflicted friend and at the dole.
full tone in which he added:
II do assure your worship that it's
very, VERY bad, and he can't walk"
The summons was held over until the
broken spring could be repaired, and the
advocate stumped out OF court with q
smile on his face and making solid
sound which proved that all his own
''j'ints" were in good working order

For fortnight or more before the
Derby everybody who talked or read
about the subject must have become
wearied of the expression that it would
be a lone horse race" 1t may be well,
however, to realize the fact that the Der
by appears to be becoming one horse in
stitution, for at the start for the last
eight Derbies odds have been laid on the
favorite with the single exception Of last
year, when the merest shadow Of odds
III to 10Y was laid against La Fleche.
Before the race of Wednesday it seemed
reasonable to inquire whether backing
these 30 called certainties for the seven
previous Derbies had proved profitable.
The reply was that If the sum had been
invested on the favorite in every instance
the gains would have about counterbal-
anced the losses, so that the hacker
would have had his fun for nothing"
although he would only have earned that
unsatisfying reward for his arduous la
bors. On the other hand, If he had put
the same sum on each Of the favorites
for the seven Derbies Immediately pre-
ceding the one horse Derby period he
would have been a considerable loser.
So after all there is something to be said
in favor Of the one horse race.-London

A Wooden leg and a Dog.

Awooden leg and dog nearly changed
the course of European history. In 1865,
just prior to the war between Prussia
and Denmark, Bismarck was staying at
Biarritz. One morning, accompanied
by huge dog, he was walking along q
road which runs along cliff, protected
by low wall, when he met an old
French naval captain with a wooden
leg, but powerfully built, and Of quick
temper. The dog became unduly atten-
tive to the captains leg, and the French
man struck at the animal with the butt
of his fishing rod. Bismarck used a
round German oath, and the sailor fol-
lowed with nautical emphasis. From
words the two came to blows, and in a
few minutes Bismarck found that, strong
as he was. the Frenchman was lifting
him bodily upon the top Of the sea wall.
Another moment and he would have
been in the sea below, and the whole
course Of history would have been
changed. At the critical moment came

Loyalty By intimidation.

There is a growing opinion in the
provinces that the wedding present busi-
ness in connection with the royal mar
riage is being carried too far. Regard
ing voluntary gifts, there is nothing to
be said, but more than one case has come
to my knowledge where large employ
er Of labor has been putting pressure on
his workpeople to contribute toward
some local fund for presenting theroyal
couple with piece Of plate. However
Ill the employees can afford the shilling
or two which is squeezed out Of them,
they have no option but to comply.
Now this is obviously not the way to
engender respect for the monarchy. II
is complete reversal of the ancient
custom of feasting the people on the oc.
casion Of royal marriage.
The nation pays quite heavily enough
now for the luxury Of an ornamental roy.
al family without being indirectly taxed
| in this manner. IF the Duke of YorI
and his bride elect wish to gain the re
spect Of the people, they will some day
be called upon to rule, they cannot dc
better than to refuse to accept all pres
ents except those which come from pri
vate individuals, corporations or similar
bodies. It is time to put q stop to thest
disgracefuI attempts by plutocrats tt

A Glut Of Mummies.

The latest news from the Egyptian mu-
scum at Gheezeh is that there is such q
glut Of mummified humanity there, ow-
ing to the quantities of priests Of Am
mon discovered awhile ago in upper
Egypt, that the Egyptian government
has proposed to the museums of London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Petersburg and
Rome to take them off its hands. They
are to be divided into lots, which are to
be drawn for by the accepting parties.
But at present one and all are somewhat
reluctant to take them. So there is still
a chance that the poor priests may fol-
low in the wake Of the sacred cats, whose
mummifed remains were shipped to Liv-
erpool as a fertilizer for the fields. Lon

The Principals In the Panama AnAIr.

The Principals In the Panama AnfAIr.
At the present moment all the princi-
pal actors in the Panama affair are con-
fined to their beds. While DR.. Cornelius
Herr reposes behind what NJ. Millevoye
calls "the mysterious Venetian blindsof
Bournemouth" in a moribund condition
Ferdinand de Lesseps is slowly dying of
old age at the castle Of Chesnay. His
son, Charles de Lesseps, is lying serious
ly i'll in the st. Louis hospital. M. Ma
rius Fontane is laid up in the infrmary
of the prison at Melun, and ex-Minister
Baihaut is confined to that Of the peni-
tentiary at Etampes.
NJ. Andrieux, WHO'S popularly believed
to have been the instigator of the entire
series Of exposures, a work for which he
WAS peculiarly fitted by reason of his
former tenure Of the Office of prefect of
police, is likewise lying at his home, suf-
fering from severe attack Of jaundice.
The bitterness against the perpetrators
of the frauds has in great measure died
away, and there is general satisfaction
expressed at the action Of the court of
cessation in quashing the sentences
against them on the ground that the
statute of limitations covered the offenses
charged. Paris Letter.

steps toward the gate. ne saw In the
darkness the figure Of a woman who
seemed to have been lettering there and
who now hurried away.
As he came out into the street, some
thing Of her evident desire not to be
seen convinced him that the retreating
figure was that Of his wife. He followed
quickly, and as soon as she noticed this
she broke into q run.
Now, Tom realized that 1t was risky
thing to run after and oyertake flying
woman, especially if she turned out to
be the person Of whom he was in search.
But Tom was desperate, and he took the
risk.
Seeing that she could not get away,
she stopped at q lamppost, leaning
against it, and as he came up to her he
heard the shuddering cry:
"Oh, TomP
Lillian" he said hoarsely, grasping
her wrist, "what is the meaning of this;
Have you gone crazyY'
She leaned against the lamppost and
wept.
"Come," he said briefly, and without
resistance she accompanied him in si-
lsnoe, broken only by her sobs, back to
the house.
The girl let them in and at once sur
missed by the grief of her mistress that
the friend who was i'll had died.
Tom led his wife into their sitting room,
and there she sank into chair, covering
her face with her hands. She saw by
his stern demeanor that he suspected her
guilt.
He closed the door, then standing be-
fore her said sternly:
Lillian, I want an explanation"
"Oh, Tom, Tom," she said piteously.
"Don't look at me like that or shall
never be able to tell you the truth"
"You must tell me the truth, no mat
ter how look"

"Oh, did il by accident. Twas dry

said. II could not face you after losing

your own convenience about tile year,
Jack, fer yer own sake and fer the sake
of the twins, skip"
There was much disappointment that
afternoon among the citizens of Scratch
Gravel when it was discovered that
Jack was gone. Search was made Of
his cabin, but there were no signs of
Sally, Jack or the twins. They were
gone for good.
And now comes the strangest part Of
this story. The 10th of July five years
later gray old man, bent nearly dou-
BILE, thrust his shadowy form into the
presence of the chief magistrate Of
Scratch Gravel and demanded a hearing.
81 am Jack Langworthy," he said,
land / have come back according to
promise to be hanged. You see, the
twins are dead-both dead-and Sally
she's gone to-run away with another
man, and now I've come back to meet
the requirements of the law. There has
been some delay, I'll admit, but was
bound to come back some time, and here
Iam."
The laws and customs of Scratch
Gravel had changed somewhat since
Jack departed the place five years be
fore, and as the affair in which he was
interested was no longer sensation OF
the day he was simply told to leave the
town as soon as possible. He went at
once, and the last seen of him alive he
was tramping slowly out of town with
his face toward the setting sun.
A little later in the year, when the
chapparal bushes began to shed their
leaves and the vines that tumbled ovel
the gray rocks were touched with frost
the feshless frame of man was found
suspended from rock over a deer
rayine. It was Jack Langworthy. Fail.
ing to find an executioner when he want.
ed one, he had taken the matter into his
own hands and hanged himself. II. NJ

American News In Europe.

An English correspondent takes oc-
casion to point out to Americans in the
course of d recent letter to New York
newspaper that the outrageous quality
of what is sent abroad from this country
as news is working wonders in lowering
us in the esteem Of foreigners and in
corrupting all classes of transatlantic
readers. OF the few days preceding the
transmission Of his angry letter he states
that more than half the whole matter
sent during that week was given up to
stories Of lynching in the south, includ-
ing minute details of the burning Of q
negro for outrage after an hour Of tor,
ture with redhot irons, and nearly as
long story of the lynching of black
nursemaid.
"It is a small thing" says he, "that
Americans living and travelling here
should be continually insulted by opin
ions based on this garbage, but If inter
national respect and amity mean any.
thing it is not small matter that oul
people as a whole should be persist
entity and ibelously given away in this
fashion, and from their own side too"
