for is usually not more than s. or 50,
the victim commonly prefers TO pay it
rather than to have his journey de-

popularity of Mexican law, which al
ways throws the burden of proof on
the American. However barefaced

The worst sitter had was, think.
the present emperor OF Germany - said
Fritn, the photographer, TO a repre-
sentative OF the Westminster Gazette.
He was small boy of four or five and
a regular young Turk. At the wedding
had noticed him working hard
all the time TO pick out a
precious stone which was set in the
hilt of the dagger he wore with his
Highland dress. He accomplished the
feat successfully, the stone rolled on
TO the floor, and, strange to say, was
never found again. When the little
lad came to sit 70 me found it quite
impossible TO keep him quiet for two
minutes together. He was like quick
silver.
AT last hit upon the plan of Civ
ing him a corner of the canvas on
which l was painting and let him daub
that over. This kept MIN quiet for q
while. One morning, however, he
managed to snudge his face all over
with the colors with which he was
working, and ne was in distress.
Never mind said TO him. we can
easily rub that of, and / began to
apply a little turpentine to his green
cheeAs. Unfortunately he had little
sore spot on his face, and when the
turpentine got into it you can imagine
that it was painful. The boy yelled
like mad for a few minutes, but the
thought that he need not appear on
the scene with his face brilliant with
various oil colors soon quieted him"
