STOLE THE WRONG BOOTS.

A Prisoner Whose Tart Reply to the
Court Resulted in a Light Sentence.
In his Personal "reminiscences" L.
E. Chittenden tells many good anec-
dotes. The sentence passed upon d
tramp convicted before Judge Elias
Reyes of the larceny Of the boots of
United States Senator Dudley Chase is
quaint compound of law and sarcasm.
You are poor creature" said the
judge. You ought to have known
better than to steal Only rich men
can take things without paying for
them. And then you must steal in the
great town of Windsor and the boots
of a great man like Senator Chase. the
greatest man anywhere around. If
you wanted to steal, why didn't YOU
steal in some little town in New Hamp-
shire, and the boots of some man who
wasn't of any consequence? And then
you must steal from him when he was
on the way TO Washington and per-
haps the only boots he had You
might have compelled him TO wait I'M
til some shoemaker made him another
pair, and shoemakerS never keep their
promise. And perhaps by the delay
some important treaty might have
failed of ratification because he was
not presenter the senate. What have
you got to say why YOU should not be
sentenced TO state prison for the term
of your natural life for stealing Sena-
tor Chase bootS?"
Il have got TO say that You seem to
know a dern deal more about stealin'
boots nor what I do piped the pris-
oner.
THAT is a sound observation" said
the judge. and l viii give You only
thirty days in the county Jail. not so
much for stealing as for your ignor-
ance in not knowing better than to
steal the boots OF 4 great man like Sen
ator Dudley Chase"

HOW TO WIN AT EUCHRE,
Louisville Player Gives the Secret of
Her Success Last Winter


There are as many superstitious peo-
pie in the world to-day as there ever
were, says the Louisville Courier-J Jour
nal, and the belief in signs, charms and
omens has by no means passed away.
A charming young married woman
won almost all of the prizes at the pro-
gressive euchre parties she attended
last winter. She plays well. but, as
friend told her, the best players have
to hold good cards to win" At the end
of the season she told what she thinks
has been the cause of all her luck II

breakfast every Monday morning." she
said, land that is my magical charm
against bad luck for the whole week.
A pretty little woman, who was visit
ing here from a neighboring town,
looked admiringly at her own dainty
fingers and anxiously inquired IF
filing would not do as well, for cuttinr
she nails Injuries them So" but the
lucky one was positive it. would not,
and the pretty nails would have to be
sacrificed if their owner wished to win.
One of the best women | know shows

her costliest gems than with these worn

Pitcairn Islanders.

Pitcairn island, where the descen.
daDts of the mutineers of the bounty
live in seclusion and primitive content
ment, boasts of being absolutely free
from the vice of drinking. The pro-
hibitiOn laws there touch not only
liquors but tobacco. 4 shipwrecked
sailor named Coffin. who was cast
ashore there Il few months ago, had
managed to save his dearly cherished
pipe and pouch of tobacco. The chief
magistrate of the colony promptly in
formed him that he must give up
smoking if heSvanted TO enjoy their
hospitality, and when he refused he
was so effectually bovcotted that he
fled this ocean paradise by the first
passing ship. Capt. Bailey, of the
American merchantmen Vigilant. from
Japan, brings this story. He stopped
at the island and traded trinkets for
food with the natives, and found them
happy and prosperous. though not
drop OF rain had fallen there for two
years, and the volcano over which
their island lies has been giving
ominous indications Of activity.

AN ENEMY OF THE SPIDER.
The Ichneumcn Fly of Ceylon and 1t,
Strange Method of Reproduction.

The Ichneumcn Fly of CeyIon and Its
Strange Method of Reproduction.
A writer quoted by Leisure Hour
gives an interesting account of the
curious ma bits of the ichneumon fly OF
Ceylon, the natural enemy of the
spider. This insect is green in color.
and in form resembles a wasp. with a
marvelously thin waist. 1t makes its
nest of well-worlzed clay. and then
goes ont on a hunting expedition. It's
victims are invariably spiders of vari-
Gus kinds, but all are subject TO the
same mode Of treatment. a scientific
sting injects some poison which effect
ualiy paralyZes the -luckleSs spider
who is then carried off to the nest and
there fastened with dab of moist
clay. Another and another victim is
brought to this chamber of horrors.
Then the president mother ichneumon
fly proceeds to deposit her eggs, one in
the body of each spider, which can Just
move its legs in vague, aimless man
ner, but can offer no resistance. This
done, the fly returns to her work as a
mason. She prepares more clay and
builds up the entrance to this CHASTITY
cell. Then she commences new cell,
which she furnishes in like manner,
and closes; then she adds yet another
cell, and SO proceeds until her store of
eggs are all provided for. and her task
in life being accomplished she dies,
leaving her evil brood to hatch at
leisure. In due time these horrid lit.
tie maggOts come to life and find them.

A POLAR PHANTOM.
The Grewsome Mystery Of Wan
dering Iceberg.
An Unknown ship Incased in Mountain
OF Ice Discovered in the Neigh
borhood of Cape
Horn.

It was fearsome craft, a veritable
ancient mariner of a ship that wa:
sighted by Capt. Squirting, of the Brit
ish ship Drumcraig, down at the Horn,
few months ago. The story of this
weird wanderer of the seas is, accord
ing to the San Francisco Examiner,
brought here by Capt. Atkinson, who
recently arrived by rail to take charge
of the British ship Goodrich. He saw
Capt. Squirting at Queenstown, and had
the tale direct from him.
The Drumcraig left here six months
ago and had a speedy run as far as
Cape Horn. There the usual westerly
winds shifted to dead ahead and sea
full u broken ice, many of the bergs
being very large, made navigation
trou blesome and perilOus. One stormy
morning just at daybreak, when the
snow was falling SO thickly that it
was not possible to see more than a
ships length ahead, a mountain-like
berg drifted past the vessel. 1t was SO
near, scarcely cables length away,
that but for d slight mishap, which had
y
DruIncraig, the vessel would have col
lided with the berg. AS it was, the ice
mountain came so near that officers
and crew all saw the grewsOme burden
that it bore-a full-rigged bark, with
sail all set, frozen into the berg and
shrouded in ice from mainmast top to
copper bottom.
10 i -
er were fully fifteen minutes drifting
past the Drumcraig, and during that
time all hands were closely studying
the weird apparition. The vessel rest
ed high on the berg. ten or twelve feet
from the water line, and was buried in
the ice as far up as her rail. The ice
that was frozen over the vessel APP
peared to be two or three feet thick on
the side next the observers. Capt Spur
ring thought it could not be more than
that, because with his glasses he could
easily make out the outlines through
the ice and could see that she was of
wood and had a coppered bottom.
From the dim outlines he guessed
that she was a sailing bark of ancient
pattern of about the size and appear
ance of New Bedford whaler But
there were left no boats, no davits and
not enough Of the rigging to decide the
question.
The three masts, the sails, the pars
and gear were all shrouded with a
thick casing of ice. through which only
their dark outlines could be seen. Some
of the crew imagined they could see
bodies of men in the rigging, but Capt.
Squirting was doubtful. for his glasses
did not increase the resemblance.
His explanation of the ice-locked
mystery is that the vessel must have
grounded on projecting edge of the
berg, toppled over against the wall
and there rested until it was frozen so
fast that no movement of the ice noun
tain could dislodge it. Then the ice
had gradually grown up around it I'M
til its Imprisonment was complete.
The neighborhood was suggestive of
danger, and the Drumcraig was headed
in another direction as quickly as pos
sible, and in a few minutes the uncan-
ny phantom had drifted away toward
the southeast into the storm that was
its letters of ice.

GETTING RID OF TENANTS.

Boston has an ''ejectment company

possession of a place in this manner.
Then we give the tenants notice. They
usually laugh al it and tear it up All

a writ on them. That usually does the
work. although they usually stay until
