Leal; without h's consent. The
Judge in his circliiar admits this to
be true. We'll, how daes the &c
count stand with the judges lie un
lawfully drew 1924 from the couu
~ treasury. lie had no contract
with Behigho Leal but employed
him TO do The work. When it was
finished; he drew tie above amour I
in American NANCY aud converted
it into Mexican money at prein
ium Of 80 cents on the dollar, max
ing $243,75. Out OF this sum, he
pays Benigno the magnificent sum
of $50 in Mexican coin, foi pant
ing the trees, leaving the judge a
net profit of Sl63 Is for ninety one
trees, instead of one hundred and
twenty as ordered by The CONT, and
this too when SAID trees were hot
taken from any land belonging To
him. THIS is another of the judges
mysterious plans for helping the
poor: 1t is on par with his ex
penditure of the $500 sppropria
ton, IN which he paid some of the
poor 80 cents In Mexican Coin per
day, and TO others who had 8 plenty
81 per day, for their work. With
this the judge dism:ssos the accuse
tiohs against him, saying the Others
amount to nothing. This tnay b.
-s the judge thinka, but 3 jury duly
sworn and rmpaneled NAY have d
different opinio', and if go, the
Judge mat yet regret some of his
actions.
The Judge does not stop with his
attack npon Mr.. Miller, brt also
splits his venom at our district
attorney. This is not strange.
Mr.. Kleioet dues his duty fear
lcssly and without hope of reward,
except the consciousness of duty
done. Judge Doushertyj in COM
mon with all others accused of
Grim. doee not allow lis sffec' ions
10 become fixed upjn tho district
attorney. lie may have even grea,
er cause 10 complain of hihI-this
matter is not finished, "a the gentle
man may yet realize to his sorrow.
The district judge also comes in
for his ehare of this abuse. For
answer to this we en- only say
that Judge RUSSELL is to we'll
known; and his honesty; ability
and fairness have been too often
demonstrated for this cowatdly and
iusidious attack to injure him: 1t
must ONLY rebound TO the detriment
Of The author.
He also seeks other targets in
in high places. Judge Juan M. de
Ia YIN. IS accused of being a
dcfaulter in Mexico. The Judge had
better have a care-such ISLANDERS
cannot be safely uttered. Judge
V n. now holds recommendations
from the civil and military author
tiles of Reynosa as to his character
as gentleman fla defArlter, as
The judge says, they should know
it much better than the author of
the charge.
Other charges are made r, fiecting
both npnn some of our hest citizens
and Indirectly upon the character
Of Colonel Msiner0 and 81: A:
Ban do of onr neighboring town.
These gentlemen are too well
known to need any defense from
US, and the Piiitnl insihT'sions
should be treated with the con
tempt they so richly deserve.

Mr.. G.. Columbus, who visited this con-
tinent over 400 years ago, came over in a
vessel which broke all previous records.
A reporter met him down the bay and
asked:
"How do you like America, Mr.. Colum-
bust"
"Iirgt rate, first rate" replied Christie
pher affably. "That is, 1 like what have
seen of it very well. How is Susan B. An
thony?"
''She's as clipper as ever How did you
leave Ferd and Isabella2"
Isabella has been suffering great deal
from the grip, but there isn't much the
matter with the old man. BY the way,
what is Maggie Mitchell playing now?"
"She has new piece called Fanchon. "
New Why, she toured Europe with
that when was boy. But tell me how
the Grant monument is getting along"
First rate. More than 81 SO has been
subscribed in the last three years, some OF
it in cash."
"That's good And what place does
New York hold in the League record?"
''Placel Why, the very tiptop of coursep'
GOOD enough! We are the peoplel Any
thing new about the Keely motor9"
But it is useless to quote the entire in
terview, for it happened long time ago,
and Columbus is dead now and can't deny
any inaccuracies it may contain.-Reho-

sandringham Palace.

A visitor to the Princess Of Wales at
Sandringham says: 1.-The mere look of
the hall, with a stuffed bruin standing
there, handing you brandies and sodas,
cigars or cigarettes, upon his tray when
ever you pass by, has unique air of
comfort. Everybody who visits Sand
bingham is aware he must pass through
two ordeals; he must write his name
with few original lines in the visitors
book and submit to testing his weight
on the weighing machine. The sitting
rooms at Sandringham are among the
most charming in the kingdom. There
is almost always the sound of distant
piano playing somewhere, with the ac-
compartment of cries from perky par
rot of God Save the Queeni' The prin-
cess has a special love for animals, and
the many pets at Sandringham all COM
bine to contribute to the pleasant do
mestic air of the place. "

Preservation of Steel Pens.

Almost all of the inks at present in
use in commercial establishments, and
especially the cheaper black ones, attack
steel pens rapidly and make many of
the finer pointed pens useless after a few
hours of constant use. NJ. Guyot sug-
gests little device by which steel pens
may be protected against this corrosive
action of ink for very long time. He
says: Keep on your table little cylin-
drical vessel-a tumbler, for instance
in the bottom of which have placed
few crystals of potassium carbonate
and over this a moistened sponge.
If, when you finish writing, you will
drop your penholder into this glass, let
ting the penholder rest in contact with
the sponge, when you again need it you
will find it clean and uncorroded. The
same result will be obtained if you occa-
sionally wipe it on the sponge, and sub
sequently on dry wiper, during its
protracted use. If you wipe it ON the
sponge frequently, and put it right back
in the ink, you run the risk of eventu-
ally spelling the ink in the stand, as
well as in writing a word Immediately
after cleaning, which with some inks
will fade.-National Druggist.

A Wise Judgment.

Here is a story which has gone the
rounds of 8 "a centuries. 1t has been cred
tied to many writers, but was first told by
Rabelais:
In Paris at a roast meat cookery of the
Petit-Chasteet certain hungry porter
was eating his bread and at the same time
shifting the reek and steam from fat
goose which was being turned on a spit
before great fire, thereby gaining savory
accompaniment to his dry ration.
He ate very slowly that he might enjoy
the reeking, smoking SAVIOR us long as pos
sible, and when his penny loafN had been
consumed he attempted to depart. But
the cook was not of that mind The mas
ter of the shop laid hold upon him by the
gorget, demanding pay for the smoke and
steam of the roast goose. The porter de-
INJURED. The cook claimed that a portion
of the meal had clearly been made from
the SAVIOR shifted up and swallowed.
1t CHANGED while the discussion was 60
ing on that Seyny Jean, the fool, entered
the shop, and the matter was referred to
him.
"Wilt thou submit to the Judgment Of
shis good citi2en?" asked the cook.
AYE, by the blood of the goose, that |
will" answered the porter.
The story was then told and the case
argued. The fool listened attentively, and
in the end he asked the porter to let him
take two pieces of his money. The poor
man drew from his fob two pieces of cop
per. Seyny Jean took them and jingled
them awhile between his two hands and
then gave them back whence he had re-
ceived them. Then to the cook he said
1.-THE porter did smell of thy goose, and
thou hast heard the jingle of his money.
Thou hast thy goose intact, he hath his
money, as seemeth to me right and proper.
And now this court doth decree further
that every one go about his own business,
lest we have too many fools among us"

the skeleton that we would withdraw,
while the strong woman would burst the
door open and see what was the matter.
Accordingly we did so, and the
strong woman set her shoulder against
the door, aud it just sort of melted
away, as you might say. She told me
that she found the two headed girl hav-
ing the liveliest kind of fight with her
self. She was lying on the floor, and the
half of her which was uppermost and
happened to be Mary was laying into
the other half and hauling out the hair
and the hairpins by handfuls. The
strong woman, wanting to check the eff
fusion of hair, went to work to separate
them and succeeded altogether too we'll.
In fact, when she got hold of Mary and
tried to pull her clear of James hair the
two girls came apart altogether. The
strong woman, who, like the rest of US,
had believed in the two headed girl,
was that frightened when she saw that
she had pulled her clean apart that she,
in turn, yelled for help.
This time l had to lay aside my
scruples and see for myself what was
the matter. There sat the strong woman
on the floor, holding half of the two
headed girl in her arms, and there lay
the other half, two or three yards Off,
on the carpet, crying her level best and
cussing the rest of her in language
which, if am any judge of language,
and ought to be, was learned some
where down by the wharves. When |
saw that Jane was more frightened than
hurt, I told her to go to bed and told
the strong woman to take Mary into her
room for the night. Mary went peace
ably, for when the strong woman got
hold of anybody, malo or female, they
generally did as sire said.
1.-THE next day l called up the two
headed girl and told her our contract
was at an end. 4 will never, said,
be party to fraud on the public, es-
pecially when it is sure to be found out,
and this of yours is. A committee Of
Boston surgeons was going to examine
you this very day, and l, believing you
to be genuine, was to offer them every
facility. What am Offering now is a
free passage for you both from here to
New York, and don't you ever let me
hear of your trying to exhibit again, or
I'll come out and tell the truth about
you
THAT was my only attempt at exhib-
iting two headed girl. l ought not to
be hard on the girls, for they pulled me
through very tight place in my pro-
fessional career, but at the same time
they took me in, and not being a part
of the public don't like to be took in.
However, it all happened long ago, and
1 defy any freak to play any sort of
game on me again. II there is any de-
ceit to be practiced in my show, con-
ceive that l am the only one to do it
and not the one to be practiced on. -

A queer story comes with first class rec.
ommendation all the way from England
In 1860 a member of the Chaplin family
died at Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was
laid in the family tomb This particular
Chaplin was naturalist, and among his
other pets had large gray bat. That bat
was permitted to enter the tomb and was
sealed up alive along with the corpse OF
his dead master. In 1866 the vault was
opened, and to the surprise of all the bat
was alive and fat. On four different occa-
sions since the Chaplins have looked after
the welfare of their dead relatives pet,
and each time it has been reported that
the bat was still in the land of the living,
although occupying quarters with the
dead. He was last seen in 1S92.-Chicago

MY BOOKS.

They dwell in the odor Of camphor,
They stand in Sheraton shrine.
They are warranted early editions,H
These worshipful tones OF mine.
In their creamy oxford vellum,"
In their redolent crushed Ievant,"
With their delicate watered Innings,
They are Jewels of price, grant
Blind fooled and Morocco jointed,
They have Zaehndorf's daintiest dress.
They are graceful, alternate, polished,
But they gather the dust no less.
For the row that prize is yonder,
Away on the unglazed shelves.
The bulged and bruised octavos,
The dear and dumpsy twelves.
Montaigne, with his sheepskin blistered,
And Howell the worse for wear,
And the worm drilled Jesuit's Horace,
And the little old cropped Moliere,
And the Burton bought for form,
And the Rabelais, foxed and flea'd,
For the others never have opened,
But these are the books read.
