Thought the Court Was Crazy.

NV faith in the value of evidence Of
identity, and of police Identification in
general, was rudely shaken not long
since when another man was arrested in
this state for me and convicted on what
appeared to be the most convincing evil
dence. twas in one of the towns where
there is in force an unconstitutional or
dinance prohibiting any nonresident
from selling goods or soliciting orders
without first taking out license, and
was arrested for ignoring this enactment.

deposited $40 in lieu of bail and went
on with my business. A notification
was sent to the hotel to the man whose
card had given telling him to appear
before the police judge at 3 o'clock. He
appeared in due course, and on the sworn
testimony of the constable and his assist
ant, both of whom unblushingly identi-
fed him, he was fined s. and $4.25 costs,
in spite of his indignant protest. Sew
enty-fve cents in change was handed
him, and he left the court under the con-
clusion that every one connected with it
was crazy. He found out the mistake
in the evening, but very naturally insist

compensation for the trouble to which
he had been but.-Nebraska Cor. st.

Their Great Matrimonial Score.

Lysander Morse and Phoebe Macomber
were married 65 years ago. 1t was a
love match that won the envy of all
their neighbors by its promises of hap
piness. The couple lived together for
only a year, when in violent quarrel
over some trivial incident they separated
and were finally divorced. Morse prompt
ly married again from spirit of pique,
and his erstwhile bride was not far be-
hind him in resuming the welded state.
Neither found any peace or happiness,
and it soon seemed to be a race between
them as to who could make the most I'M
fortunate alliances. Morse succeeded in
contracting four marriages, but his rival
won the hearts of six different men,
whose names she bore in turn. These
facts did not come out until they met
for the first time since their separation
recently in Allegan county. As they re-
hearsed their various experiences it ap-
peared that each was single again, and
they decided to try a second marriage
A few days after this marriage they
disagreed and came to blows, which
produced a final separation.-Decatur

Paine's celery compound, and have rec
commended it to all my stage acquaintance
who have overtaxed their brains by too
close attention to study, and all have eX-

Paines celery compound has made thou

1t has made the weak strong. 1t has cured

merable testimonials as to its wonderful

Paine'S celery compound is the
most remarkable remedy for the blood and

most physicians for curing kidney and
liver troubles and all diseases due TO nerv-

Kate Fields Experiment.

imported American satin, determined to
practice what l preach-a performance
of such difficulty apparently as rarely to
be attempted. went SO far as to pre-
vail upon Worth to make up this mate
rial, though it is against his rules to ex-
pend his taste on foreign fabrics. The
result was beautiful costume, yet it
well nigh required surgical operation
to make some women believe that the
satin was American. is it possibleY I'D
no idea such good looking satin could be
made in this country Does it WEAR
Are you quite sure 1t is pure silkY
These were the usual ordinations and
questions. Bless their ignorant souls,
women don't realize that European black
silk has been deteriorating so rapidly as
greatly to help successful production in
the United States. Our manufacturers
take foreign silk, find out its weak
nesses and improve upon it, while wom-
en- buy the imported article complacent-
ly, believing they show peculiar taste
and acumen."
A Model Man.
OF course women like good men, but
they don't like prigs. One bright girl
was entertaining another with the de-
scription of a young man who lived next
door. He seemed a model. He never
smoked, played cards, staid out late,
talked back to his mother, told lie or
said a swear word in all his life.
''Now, what do you think of young
man like that?'' cried the first bright
girl, with the expression of one who has
played the ace of trumps
II think, A" said the second bright girl
slowly and solemnly, that he must have
liver complaint and have it badly. -
