GAVE HER HIS SEAT.
How His Jags Gracefully Gave Up

How His Jags Gracefully Gave Up
a Whole Row Of Seats.
He was drunk, very drunk, but with
wonderful equilibrium still managed to
keep his head I'D and his feet down. He
stood waiting for street car, which he
boarded with much difficulty when it at
last came along. Fortunately for other
people who were not there, he was the
only passenger and had the long rows
of seats to himself. He, however, did
not take up more room than two Ordi-
nary sober people would do. After he
had ridden for short distance the car
came to standstll. and a lady stepped
in. Instantly the man with the self
imposed load arose, and swinging around
the strap took off his hat and, addressing
the lady, said:
Madam, have my seat?n
keep your seat" she remarked;
there are plenty OF vacant ones i'll the
car"
But | inshist. madam: | never like to
see a ladish standing"
The now embarrassed lady endeav-
ored. to the best of her ability, to I'M
press the over-polite and jagged indi-
Hldual that there was plenty of room IN
the car, but he would not have it that
way. At last, to get rid of him, she sat
down in the protfered seat. The man
looked nightly pleased, and, grabbing
another strap, fixed himself to stand for
the rest of the journey. AS the car

THE ANGELS REPORT.
WHAT He WROTE AFTER THE PRS
0NER WAS SENTENCED.
ADMITTED HE WAS GUILTY

Extenuating Circumstances Might
Have Been Pleaded Which
Would Have Saved His Life,
but He Did Not Avail Himself
OF the Privilege-What Did the
Angel Write?
There was frown upon the face of
the Recording Angel.
The open book before him showed a
page not altogether free from blots, but
the angel was not looking at it.
The Recording Angel was reporter.
The court room was crowded.
Every seat was filled with eager,
breathless spectators, and the passage
ways were packed with the less fortu-
nate, who had to stand, writes Miss Bal
lyntyne in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But what was discomfort when fell
low BEINGS life was balanced in the
scales of Justice?
The prisoner seemed Indifferent to his
fate-the only one in the throng, with
the possible exception of the judge, who
didn't seem to care what the result
would be.
His honor had just sent out the jury
with charge-so it was breathlessly
whispered among the seats and the
passageWayS - strongly against the
prisoner.
Probably the prisoner had not heard
it. Ii he did he never raised his head.
"ConScious guilt, "said everybody. No
wonder he could not look the judge and
jury in the face.
The crime was murder-wife murder.
1t had been clearly prOved-indeed,
the prisoner never denied it-that the
defendant had killed his wife; killed
her with blow of his fist.
The counsel for the defense - ap-
pointed by the court. the prisoner had
not sgnified any desire of making de-
Tense had harangued the jury long and
earnestly.
This crime was not MURDER" he
had said; "honicide, if you will, but
not murder. The unfortunate prisoner
at the bar had no intention of taking
the life of his wife when he struck.
This proved by the fact that he used no
weapon, none but his hand. 1t was a
blow struck in the heat of passion,
when the prisoner was blinded by rage,
and in consequence not responsible for
what he did.
"While there is no evidence TO show
that there was prov0cation for the blow
the prisoner himself is strangely silent
something to rouse this mans passion

strength the snake is easily passed from
hand to hand and allowed to coil its
Shiny length over arms, legs and body.
The exhibitor, however, must be con
staDtly on the alert. When the snake
becomes too lively it is time to replace
1t in the box. The hand must always
grasp it at certain places where the
head can be guided and held from the
body. This is the hardest thing the
charner has to learn, but it comes with
practice. In handling 4 reptile with
the poisonous tangs in one must be
strong and in perfect health. Any
nervousness or temerity might cost him
his life. The grasp and movements
must be precise and accurate. There
is no room for hesitancy or uncertainty.
ana the strain on ones system dnrine
the performance is great. The charmer
is really toying with death-and death
in one of its most horrible forms.''

that she was much-wronged woman,
a I'd that her husband did not treat her

incidentally it had been shown that
the prisoners domestic conduct was so
bad that every one in the little town in
which he lived knew all about his mis-
dOings.
He had come home several times in

RUSTIC COMPLIMENT.
The Annoyance OF a Sculptor

When Hiram Powers, the American
sculptor, had his studio in Washington
he employed his spare time in carving
likenesses of the wild animals with

his boyhood days among the Green
mountains. 1t was at this time that he
made the figure of the couchant panther

A Thoughtful Widow.

Boston herald.
On recent Saturday evening two
women met in Boston market, and,
after exchanging the usual friendly
greetings, commenced to console each
other for the deaths of their respective

eXclaimed:
''Oh, but my Felix was a good man 20
The other replied: MY husband
was good to me, and my loss was as
great as yours"

The sorrowing widow. again bursting
into tears, cried: Il would, but L was
