On one occasion he was called to
hold an inquest on dead man at
Pointed Cave. Getting the witnesses
he said to them: "Stand
up, --you, and besworn." They
stood up and this was the oath he
administered to them:
"You solemnly swer that the testi-
mony in this case, 10 which the State
of Texas is plaintiff and the dead fel-
low here is defendant, shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God. Sit
down, - you"
On another occasion he was exam
lining Il witness who had a cigarette
in his mouth, and one of the bystand-
ers called the Justices attention to
the fact.
II don't see why he can't lie just as
well with cigarette in his mouth as
out of it, replied Judge Bean as he
continued the questioning.
He was called once to hold an in
quest over a man found dead. Among
| the effects of the deceased were $50
and six-shooter. AS funerals were
cheap at Langury in those days anc
there was more than enough money
on the body to bury it, the question
of what disposition to make OF th'
funds was soon solved by the justic
tlning the deceased for carrying con
cealed weapons the sum remaining
after the interment had been pai
for.

local Justice who made himself IA

Court and deciding the Sunday LAY

His first case was minor civil sui
furiously contested by the opposin

TIE STINGLESS BREED OF BEES.
Veracious Chronicle Of How Naturalist
Griswold's Uncle Achieved
Triumph.

"There is a breed of honey bees over
in the town of Wayne that have no
said Naturalist Pack GrIs-
void, of HammondpUrt, to a New
York Sun Reporter.
"They are very handy to have, be-
cause child can run a whole yard
full of such bees. 1t is interesting
to me, at least, the way that breed
of bees originated. 1t shows how
readily nature will adopt herself to
the fitness of things, and also is a per-
petual monument to the wonderful
skill of an uncle of mine as a rifle
shot. My uncle was a great bee
hunter, and one day he was in the
woods, over in the town Of Wayne,
looking things over, when he ran onto
a bee tree. He throught he would tap
the tree to find out how high up in the
tree the bees had stored their honey.
He sent rife ball into the side of the
tree way up toward the top. AS soon
as he fred he saw that he had made a
mistake, for he had tapped the honey
hollow right at the lower edge, and
the honey came squirting out in reg
ular stream. He was a good ways
from home, and he knew that before
he could get there and back agair
with pals and things tue most of tn,
honey would have run out Of the tre'
and been lost. Something had to b
done to save that honey, for it wa
worth a shilling a pound. But m
uncle wasn't man to let anything
get the best of him, and he whitfield
pine plug, loaded it into his rifle, fire
it into the bullet hole he had shot i
=, the tree, and plugged the hole up as
, there had never been one there. Tha
! saved the honey, But, although IN
uncle was a bee hunter, he was morti
shy of bees, for they would sting hi
I on sight, and every sting swelled Il
Il on him as big as rutabaga. So L
e thought he might as well make thins
u safe aud pleasant then and ther
= He didn't want to kill the bees, for
9 was a kind and tender-hearted ma
~ so he stood still in his tracks, and ;
70 the bees came buzzing out of the tr
W ". he shot their stingers off, one by on
and by and by had 'em all fixed,
that he could gather the honey al
n ask no odds of 'em. Not a dingt
I'd odd. He afterwards lined the be
is and took 'em home. It's their d
We scendents that are the stingless be
r. of the town of Wayne to-day, and

of they are indebted to my uncle 1
of starting that breed"

The statement of the Pullman COM
pany that for a considerable period
prior to the strike it took contracts
and filled them at loss solely to give
work to employees who would other
wise be idle, is negatived by the fact
that within the two weeks immedl-
ately succeeding the organization Of
the strike it declared dividend OF
two per cent. The dividend was on a
Capitalization of $50, 100000, and con-
sequently aggregated 100000. 1t is
affirmed that two-thirds of the capt.
talization is water" If so, and the
statement is probably true, then the
actual capital invested and repre-
sented is $40, 900, 900, and the dividend
declared was equal to six per cent for
the quarter or to twenty-four per cent
for the year. 1t is certainly an extra
ordinary strain upon credulity to ask
the public to believe that a corpora
tion which was earning twenty-four
per cent a year was simultaneously
operating its plant at loss for the
mere sake of giving work to its en-
ployes.
Again, it is stated in the manifesto
that sat the beginning of the strike
the Pullman Savings Bank had on
deposit in its savings department
1855, 900, of which about nlne-tenths
belonged to the employees at Pullman,
and that when the manifesto was pre-
pared two weeks ago s556,OOO remained
in the banks hands. The Pullman
strikers now owe more than 00t
for rent, and $4,000 of the people Vi
the town have been subsisting or
charity for the past six weeks. Is II
credible that Pullman would permit
them to owe so much rent, or an,
rent, If they had money in his bank
and can it reasonably be supposed
that If they had deposits to draw upoI
they would voluntarily accept support
from the public? There may be sew
eral hundred THOUSAND dollars in tht
Pullman bank, but it Is too much
under the circumstances, to ask the
country to believe that the money be
longed to the strikers.

Salt Makes Mix.

Experiments have recently been
made to ascertain whether the giving
of salt to dairy cows has any direct
bearing on the supply of milk, and tho
results have been Of character
which will be surprising to many who
attach but little Importance to pro-
ydng salt for their cattle, says the
Journal of Agriculture. Salt they
must have in some form or another,
ard if it is supplied to them in suita-
BILE quantities and ways they will take
sufficient and no more for their own
benefit. For about month from
June Goth to July 18th, last year,
three cows were kept without salt,
and the milk of each weighed twice
daily from the 4th to the 18th OF July,
when they gave asa pounds. From
July 2sth to August lst the same cows
received four ounces of salt each, and
during that time the milk showed an
increase of 100 g0unds, the weight
being 564 pounds. From this experi'
ment it appears that there was a con-
siderable gain, which would pay adj
mirably any one to keep his stock well
supplied with salt, and it may also be
added as another good custom to fol-
low to keep plenty of fresh water
where it is easily accessible.

"a Canton man." says the Picket,
recently ordered a pair of pants
from his city tailor. On trying them
on, they proved to be several inches
too long. AS it was Saturday night,
the nan took the trousers to his wife
and asked her to cut them off and
hem them over. The good lady,
whose dinner had perhaps disagreed
with her, brusquely refused. The
same results followed an application
to the wife's sister and eldest
daughter. But before bed time, tue
wife relenting took her husbands
trousers, and cutting three inches
from the legs, hemmed them nicely
and restored them to the wardrobe.
Half an hour later the daughter, full
of complnction for her unfilial con-
duct. took the trousers, cut of three
inches, hemmed them and replaced
them. Finally the sistcr-in-law felt
the pangs of her conscience and she,
too, performed an additional surgical
operation on the garment. When
the man appeared at breakfast Sun
day morning, the family thought q
Highland chief had arrived.
