It sometimes appears when a fuently
speaking witness is in the box that there Is
little reverence for the learned judge OF q
courtroom. Few Englishmen had more
accurate and extended knowledge OF the
horse than Baron Martin, who, when rid
ing the circuit, always visited all the sta.
bles in the neighborhood of the town.
At one time he was trying case in New
York when an important point in the evil
dence happened 10 be the somewhat oh.
scure disease Of a horse.
Nov" said the examining counsel to an
old man in tho witness box, tell my lord
and the gentlemen OF the jury the name Of

WHEN PILOTS WE'RE PRINCES,
Salaries Once Were Equal to Those Of
Modern Railway Presidents.

Modern Railway Presidents.
Very interesting are the "reminiscences
from steamboatmen Of ante rate cutting
days, when pilots received wages enough
In week to buy an entire steamboat at
the present quotations ON secondhand

spent" and Captain Joe Todd tells Of the
pilot who received q, 500 FOR a trip 70 the
upper Missouri, and then 'came down IN
the winter to borrow money from us poor
fellows who worked for ei5 month
Several OF these old river pilots, whose
vacations entitled them to tho largest div
idend OF the robust earnings Of the boats
are still about the city, but unfortunately
very few now give evidence Of Ever having
commanded such magnificent salaries
The Missouri river appears 10 have been
the scene OF operations in which "meteor-
io'' wages were paid TO pilots The elocu-
tionRry artists who are doing time"
around the office stoves sometimes quote
old time pilots wages as high us 5000 u

From those who were actively engaged
In the service II is learned that G,bO0 "A

paid to Missouri river pilota Pilots. how

Story OF an Interrupted Grafton.

An Amherst graduate,a night or two
ago, in a reminiscent mood related the
following story of school days to some
friends:
Good old DR.. b. had the somewhat
discouragin@ task Of training US TO be-
come the countrv's future orators. We
always called him .PrcXy Rhetoricals.'
lie was an eccentric old fellow. and
had habit OF cutting our weekly de-
carnations short that he might 90
home early in the afternoon. We
never could know when one Of us
might be cut off in the most eloquent
part OF some stirring bit of oralory
with the stereotyped remark: Very
well done; next"
Tom Getting was the most prom
ising member of the class for the
oratorical laureatcship. One afternoon
when 'preXy' was in greater hurry
than ever to finish determinations, Tom
held us spellbound by a mastery
rendering OF the speech of 'Spartacus
to the Gladiators.' Just as he was
launching out his defiance of the
Roman tyrants PrcXy' cut him off liz
the usual way.
Tom the next week, when his turn
came, mounted the platform, and,
making most profound bow, careless
" remarked:
AS | was saying last week when |
was interrupted, after Spartacus, and
then lie launched into the remainder of
the speech. 'PreXy' was speechless. and
that afternoon, and for several after
ward, the boys were allowed TO finish
their pieces without Interruptions

Working From Habit.

On most prominent corner OF
Chestnut street. Philadelphia, stands
an old white haired man selling papers.
He always stands there. rain or shine,
come snow. come blow. mud or dust,
and has stood there from six in the
morning till nine ut might for the last
six years. His hair i white a. snow
and his beard is thick and @rizzled.
His full blue eyes are shaded by gold
trimmed glasses; his clothes are neat
and tidy. His language is that of a
cultured gentleman.
And that is just what he is. Thirty
years ago he was one of New York S
big builders. He speaks with pride of
the many evidences of his handiWork
still standing, and which do not adver-
tise their insigniiicaucc even by the
side of the noble structures of this
modern day. Now he sells newspapers
on a street corner in Philadelphia. He
is fond of talking of his young son,
an artist of some ability, am told, and
his highest desire is to send him to
Rome and to Paris. The young man
has been studing under pupil OF
Gerome. His great wish is to take
lessons directly from the hand of the
master. 1t is Il charming thing to hear
his father, the newsman. huddled in a
corner out Of the drifting snow, talk Of
my son, the artist" He just glories
in The subject, of which he never seems
to tire.
asked the old man once why he
sold papers. lie said il was because
he WAS too blind to do any other work,
and work Of some Kind he must do or
he would die. What story Of life
such 4 man could tell.

Swelling Words.

William Writ when Il young man
wrote a farce, in which the most emf
nent lawyers of Virginia are intro
duced and their pcculiarities humor-
ously exaggerated. Among them was
one who had been minister to England,
and was remarkable for using swelling
words.
He is represented as conducting a
cause in the county court. and in ask
lug the clerk to call some one into
court, thus addressed him:
MIR. Jones. have the bcnignity to
vociferate Peter Jolley into court"
The clerk bawled out. "yociferate
z. Jolley! Come into court
While examining loquacious female
witness the lawyer loses his patience
and eXclaims:
This woman ought to be deposited
into taciturnity!"
You may 60 to lass Eternity your
self, but | reckon you'll have none of
my company, sir" retorted The angry

the toes Of big six-footer He apol-
Ogized, but the six-fOoter wasn't sat
isfied He talked for some time, and
finally invited the little man to leave
the car and settle the matter on the
sidewalk. Greatly to his astonish-
ment, the latter accepted. Those who
witnessed the contest say that it didn't
last long, but that the big fellow had
to be carried home III an ambulance,
while his diminutive antagonist walk

SO it is with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei

FAMOUS DESKS IN THE SENATE

1t 50 happened that Mr.. BIaine's
old desk III the senate is now occupied
by Senator Hale, who was one of the
dead statesman's closest friends. This
desk, like many others in the senate
now famous.
Take the desk Of Senator Cockrell,
for instance. 1t used to be the desk
at which Jeff. Davis sat when he re
presented Mississippi in the senate
from 1913 to 1851. During the war
some of the soldiers quartered in the
capitol learned this fact and they
made a raid upon it with their
bayonets. They were attempting to
demolish it when an official of the
senate hurried to its rescue.
Nv hat are you doing?" he asked of
the angry militiamen.
breaking up jeff Davis desk"
they answered, as they made another
stab with their bayonets.
1T is not jeff Davis desk" was the
answer. 1t is the property of the
government, and if you don't stop d d
quick you will go to jail
Then the soldiers ceased, but today
the ugly holes made by the bayonets
IN the polished mahogany tell a mute
but eloquent story of the passions of
1861.
