The general idea that thirty days no.
tice is required to call an extra session to-
gether is erroneous. II was the practice
in the early days Of the country, when
means OF transportation and communi-
cation were slow, to give notice OF two
Or three months, but the Forthy-third
Congress was called on q notice OF but
three days, while an extra session called
by President Hayes assembled on notice
of fourteen daye.

such work.

its friends and members with great

that he had client, ride, untutored

the courthouse to be naturalized. Judge
Langhornc put the usual questiors t.
the candidate, who was a trille slow
with his English. He averred, however,
in answer to the judicial conundrlims
duly propounded, that he liked this
country and It's laws, and was satisfied
he would make a useful and peaccable
citizen.

to ask you IL you belong to any polit

The man said he did.
well, sir! said the judge, rising up
in great surprise, "Will you tell me
what 1t is?"
"Die-die-vat you call 'em, Egbert?-

wildered candidate.
He was duly admitted when the court
recovered its composure, and admonlsh.

Clubdom and society hung their heads
when the report of the assignee DIS

against and desire for revenge upon

and a committee Of their appoint

government by its agencies In
other lands, in tracking the fugitive.
When he is brought from Costa Rica,
where he was finally apprehended, he
will be confronted by prosecutions that
promise for him Imprisonment to the
end of his days.
Weeks methods Of robbery were sue
cessfu for a long time solely through
the implicit confidence reposed IN him
by clients who entrusted money TO him
for investment. His cue was to lend
given sum Of money, say $4,000, and
have the mortgage securing the loan
made out TO MIN, and this mortgage he
would then exhibit to each OF his
clients whose money he had received
for investment. BY this trick single
mortgage lot Sl0iOOO was 4h"NS
to satisfy the confidence OF
half dozen clients whose aggregate
funds entrusted TO him amounted to
S75, 600. He was careful to pay inter
est to each Of these clients at the prop
er time, which was TO the latter seem
ing assurance that his, or her, money
was properly invested. The investlga-
ton of the assignee shows that Weeks
had been pursuing this method OF
swndling for years, during which time
he was using for his own account in sun
dry speculations the money OF unsuS-
meeting clients. 1t was the money en-
trusted TO him to loan 90 city realty
mortgages, that he used ten years ago

for land Improvement in Wisconsin, and

recently to keep aaoat the Land and Rv-
