The Attorney Paid Dearly for Leaving a
 Team at the Wrong Livery.
 A good story is related by the Lewis ton (Me.) Journal on an Auburn attor- ney who went to livery stable and hired team for two or three hours, and at the end of that time, in a state of absent-mindedness, left it at another livery stable, where it remained eight days At stable No. 1 there was no worry about the team. They knew the attorney was perfectly good for the pay. They knew if he kept the team for a month that the bill would be paid promptly on presentation. They pre- stunned that he knew what he was about and concluded it was his business and not theirs. At stable No. 3 there was an equal freedom from anxiety. The attorney came there, left the team and went away, saying nothing. They put the horse into a stall and "chalked it down. on the office slate, knowing him to be a business man who paid cash. The attorney and the prOprietOrs of both stables met each other frequently, but nothing was said about the team. All of them were ignorant of the condi- tion of things and all were perfectly at ease. As for the attorney, he never thought of the team again. Discovery came at last, and the attorney was pre- sented bill from stable-keeper No. 1 for hire of team for eight days, and later stable-keeper No. ? came round with another bill for boarding the team the same length of time. To say that the attorney was astonished puts it mildly. The basis of settlement is not officially learned, but it was less than the faces of the bills, which had been made out at the going prices.

THE TABLES TURNED.
How Fighter Put an End to Nocturnal
 Visitors.

Visitors.
 "When the Chinese first began to overrun California the laboring men felt about their occupation much as Othello did and failed to extend to the celestials that courtesy which the youngest should extend to the oldest civilization on earth" said Chang Lee, the bright-eyed Mongolian secretary of a San Francisco capitalist, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ''They used to abuse us terribly. A favorite amuse- ment of theirs was to catch us by the cues and drag us about We are not fighters, and, being in strange land, we could do no better than to quietly put up with it and hope that our tor mentors would become ashamed and let us alone. A lot of us were employed to grade a railroad, and the American worlzmen used to invade our camp at night and abuse us shamefully. One day a big Irishman named O'Fallon came to us and told us if we would give him fifty dollars he would make our tormentors wish they had never seen a Chinese camp. We agreed and he stained his face. shaved his head, put on a Chinese costume and waited for our visitors. They called that night as usual, and O'Fallon took care to be the first 'Chinaman' they tackled. He had been a prize-fghter, and the men used to say that he could kill bull with his fist. About dozen got around and be- gan to kick and cuff him before he made a motion. Then he turned loose, and the way he laid that crowd out was fine sport to witness. He cleaned out the whole lot. and the nocturnal visits were discontinued ''

Dog Meat.

A French paper says that the number of dogs slaughtered at the abattoirs in Munich has increased amazingly in the past few months. The taste for doo,s flesh IS said to have been imported by Italian labOrers, who have recently come in large numbers to the Bavarian capital. The meat is not used only as an adulterant for sausages but is eaten openly under its own name, prepared in various ways.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise of water in canal due to an over-abund- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such 6 Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, Gullies Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableand, as any rains storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal.

Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially Iessened, as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive. Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, ?, water runs freely into the tank, 3, which is immediately filed thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank it therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight Overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, long the body of water keeps rising over a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and l tank all rigid, and hinge, pivot, on a hor- zontal shaft.

Love made recluse of a man who
Is now three quarters of century old.
and who has avoided his fellows for
nearly thirty-years, He calls himself
John Smith, and his hermitage is in the
mountains not far from Erying, Mass.
He was an actor, and she was an
actress. hey were engaged, QuarreIed
and 5separated. The lovers mind be-
came unbalanced. and while yet in the
prime of his life he abandoned his pro-
fesson and sought the semi,solitude
which has now grown to be habit with
him.
1t may be remarked that no one
knows his real name. That of John
Smith is an alias, and he frankly &C
knowedges that he has taken every
precautiOn to conceal his identity. He
visits nobody, but during the past few
years many people have been to see him,
He is a sort of local fad, and the folks
whereabouts almost love him.
Tie old mans hair and beard are white
as snow. He delights to chat with
visitors, and on pleasant Sundays of
summer and autumn the grounds around
his little cottage are covered with scores
of teams and hundreds of visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into picnic grove, and the
old man shares the hospitality of his
visitors. tells them quaint stories, and
in return they give him the remains of
thier feast and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself and
his cats.
In the winter the old man is genuine
hermit, so far as human beings are con-
cerned; but in and around his cabin
he has no less than o dozen cats, to say
nothing of the wildcats that every little
while are killed on the surrounding
hills, and he is as proud of Jim Fisk'

The house which he occupies was

it is little better now. The boards in
side the living room are covered with

NOT A HORSE THIEF.
A Parson Gets Into Trouble
Through Country Detectives.

| A Parson Gets Into Trouble
| Through Country Detectives.
! Chicago Times.
4 minister well known in one of the
suburbs of Chicago recently had an
amusing though annoying experience.
The reverend gentleman owns and
drives a fine-looking horse. Not long
ago he took drive into the city. 1t
being a dusty day he wore an old over
| coat and a rather seedy hat. which gave
him all unministerial and decidedly
| tramp-like appearance. The horse,
however, was well-groomed, sleek and
| handsome.
Arriving in the city, he put the horse
up at livery stable, while he went on
| his way to attend to his duties else
where. He noticed as he drove into
| the stable that the hostlers eyed him
closely, and looked the animal over
rather infinitely, but he thought moth
| ing of it and went on his way. In an
| hour or two he returned and ordered
| his horse. He jumped into the buggy,
| seized the reinS and was about TO drive
| out, when policeman stepped up and
| grabbed the horse by the bits and for
| babe the driver to proceed any further.
| A detective in citizens clothes was
with the policeman, and he addressed
| the minister:
Whose horse is that?"

"Well, we have a description of

| with this. We have telephOned to the
owner and you can't 20 till he comes"
why" exclaimed the minister, his
! heart rising in his throat, why you
| don't take me for horse thief, | hope?
| This horse is mine, SIR"
81 am sorry to detain you, sir, but
you cannot 60"
why" stammered the perturbed
gentleman of the cloth, II am a minis

"Oh, we've had that game worked be-
fore" replied the detective, as he looked
significantly at the old clothes of his
prisoner. You drive pretty fine horse,
don't you?"
''She's good horse, but say, hon
eStly. isn't this joke?'
mo joke at all, sir. Keep quiet and
wait till the owner comes"
"Take ME two blocks down the street
and will identify myself" pleaded the
minister.
No; that is not necessary: this IS too
clear case. We have description of

star behind the left shoulder; a light
buggy, with two robes, one white and
one black. Now look at your horse and
buggy robes; the description TALES ex-
actly. Look at this scar behind the left
shoulder"
Sure enough, the minister's horse was
perfectly described. He had nothing to
do but sit still and wait. After two long
hours wore away the man whose horse
had been stolen appeared on the scene.
That is not my horse. gentlemen"
he said. Besides, l did not say scar
in my telephone message, but 'Wart.'
This horse has no wart"
