A Sad Case That Touched the judge
Heart In the Christmas Season.

a Sad Case That Touched the Judges
Heart In the Christmas Season.
When the dispossess case of Jacob
Korn against David Samkin was called
in the Fifth judicial district court yes
terday morning, a girl 10 years old,
with a torn shawl about her head and
shoulders, advanced tremblingly to the
rail and handed a letter to Justice
Goldfogle.
She represented Samkin. the tenant,
who owed KOrn for the rent Of three
rooms on the second floor Of the tene-
ment at SO Attorney street. This is the
letter:
Judge GoldfogOld
Please EXCUSE me bacause | came my father
is sick and he is laying in bed my mother got
born little baby it Is ? weeks and she does rot
feel well. And she can't come TO the tril. We
have nothing to eat and nothing 10 burn and
so we can't pay no rend. My father has no
work for or months. We are for children,
/ am 10 years on the Il; my sister Is 3 years
on the 6 and my brother is > years and my lit
tie sister is > weeks. We children we beg you
and please take care of us and not mock Us out
III lhc street my father tries for Us very much
and he can't help Us bacause it is bad time now
bacause he can't pay the rend and can't give US
to eat he is sick.
The girl wept copiously while Jus
tice Goldfogle struggled with this COM
municatiOn, but when he questioned
her she answered with keen intelli-
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherry street,
and that she knew the location OF the
court because she used to pass it daily
on her way to school.
Justice GoldfOgle turned to Agent
BOltz, who represented Landlord KOrn,
and suggested that as the case was a
very distressing one Mr.. Korn could
find no better opportunity for the eXer-
else Of len;ency.
You may see from this letter, > the
Justice said, chow pitiable the plight of
this family is. The girl says they have
neither food nor fuel, that her mother
and father are i'll and helpless and have
no means of sustenance. 1t is the
iChristmas season, too, and there could
lbe no better time for the exercise of
charity. 1t seems to me that Mr.. Korn
might -
The agent neld up both hands in pro-
test against the suppositiOn that Mr..
Korn might do anything of the kind.
Il am only the agent, " he said, and
II am doing no more than my duty.
They have not paid the rent. l can
not help it,
The justice looked at the child who
had come through the storm to plead
for a few days more under the roof
where there was neither food nor fire.
60 hOme," he said, land tell your
mother she may have until Wednesday
night to pay the rent.
The girl was gone In an instant.
IF it is the last thing do on earth, "
Justice Goldfogle continued. III see to
it that this family has a Christmas
DINNER. "
The agent was keenly affected by the
girls story and offered no opposition to
the decision.-New York Herald.

Senators In the Barber's Chair

A workman in the senate barber shop
in Washington is credited with saying
that the senators are "the most peace
full" men to shave he has ever met,
though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says, he has twice shaw
ed three times in one day, not because
his beard grows SO fast, but because the
senator likes the sensation. Another
senator has pair of little side whis-
kers of which he is fond and to which
he devotes any amount of attention. J"
He did not reveal all this to any sena-
tor, and to the helpless man to whom it
was communicated he said with a de-
spairing tone, You know we are not
allowed to talk to our senatorial Gus
toners unless they talk to us first" Who
would not wish to be a United States
senator while being shaved?-Chicago

kick the ball from one to another with
the inside, or, at times, with the fat of
the foot. The object of the players Is
to keep the ball passi~g about without
its ever touching the ground or the hand
of any one. Great dexterity is shown
in this performance, and the ball is
usually kicked to a very respectable
height. There seems to be no penalty
exacted from a player who may kick the
ball badly or fail to kick it at all.
We had our own game Of football,
and the Dutchmen, assisted by two
members of our team, scored two goals
to our four. During the game the ma
tives collected in still greater numbers,
and at its termination they begged Us
to allow them to have game among
themselves. To this we assented. and
two of Us acted as captains of the sides,
numbering about 80 players apiece,
most Of whom stripped to the 'sarong,"
and wrapped it round their lOirs, leav-
ing the rest of their bodies bare.
The ball was started, and then foi-
lowed one of the most extraordinary
games of football that has ever been
seen. The game soon ceased to be a
game at all and became a veritable bat
tie.
As when a sort OF lusty shepherds try
Their force at football, care OF victory
Makes them salute so rudely, breast 10 breast,
That their encounter seemed too rough for Jest.
Hands. arms and even teeth, We're
used ON all sides, blood flowed freely,
and scattered about the field were soon
to be seen the wounded, might almost
say, the slain. As some fell exhausted
to the ground they were removed, and
their places in the fray were taken by
others, who rushed forth eagerly from
the crowd of spectators.
Shouts of victory and groans of de-
feat rent the air, and at length things
became so serious that the two captains
were obliged to seize upon the ball and
bolt with it to the pavilion. The game
thus came to an end, and the players
withdrew to their homes, with the ex-
cited crowd following at their heels.
This must have been regarded as a red
letter day by the native community of
Medan, and the visit of the Orange
Puteh' (Englishmen) will be remem-
bered among them for some time to
come. We received hint next morn
ing from the authorities that the Il
must not be allowed to take part in our
game8.-Fortnightl Review.

After the Wedding.

How soon should calls upon bride
be NADER" is a question that has been
frequently asked. Calls upon bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if no day
for such has been designated, and as
immediate visit must be paid to her
mother or person at whose house the re-
ception was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and so far as possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself of these debts
would be inexcusable, and a person so
careless would deserve to be socially
forgotten. Free Press.

F1agpoles.

With proper care a fagpole ought t.
last great many years in spite of the
incessant exposure to the elements. OF
course the best preservative of wood is
paint, and a man VINO has a flagstaff
which has cost him a good sum of
money should see that it is painted at
least cnce every u months. Flagpoles
generally rot at the bottom first, and
then have to BE taken down to prevent
them from falling of their oHn weight.
The usual length of a pole on top of a
high building is from 80 to 10 feet. 1t
is not difficult to get pole in one piece
so feet long, but when a man wants to
add 25 feet to that he has to do it by
means of splicing. g.-BostOn Herald.
