The Judge was a Fighter.

A Western Judge was listening to an
attorney who had a mean habit OF IN
terpolating remarks into the proceed
inrs Of the court. What he said was
scarcely ever heard by any one, as he
mumbled rather than spoke, and
would never repeat remark. One
day he said something which nobody
heard except the judge, who at once
became exceedingly angry. Turning
to the court bailiff, he Numbered out;
ssAdiourn this courtl" Then, as soon
as the bailiff had done his duty, the
Judge stepped from the bench, beck
oned to the lawyer to follow him, and
entered the clerks Office. The lawyer
went along. So did two or three osner
people. As soon as the Judge got
fairly into the room, he seized q law
book, and turning upon the lawyer,
he fairly screamed: II was on the
bench while ago and you insulted me.
I was Judge then. | am man now,
and the man will have an apology Tor
the Judge, or he will take it out OF
your hide. You might make an apology
to the Judge, but you would not mean
IL. Now, however, the case is more
serious, and unless you give me what
I ask, will smash your head" The
LAWYER made most AFFECT apology,
which the Judge accepted, and thel
the party went back to the court-roon
and resumed business. -Argonaut.

The Toga Age in China.

When one gees lad in China with
his head shaved one may be sure that,
however boylike he may look, he has
put aside all the things Of youth and
become man. In fact, this event is
celebrated in the household with great
solemnity, for entrance upon manhood
is grave matter for the boys OF the
flowery land. Invitations are sent to
the friends and relatives to q family
gathering and each is expected to
bring present-in money for choice
for the hero of the hour. The boy
himself is dressed in fine silk robes
and perfumed with spice. When
everyone has arrived, the father makes
a speech in honor OF the occasion, the
presents are given and then Chinese
priest shaves the boys head to prepare
the way for the pigtail, which marks

The Real David Crockett.

Mrs. Ibbie Gordon, of GAINESVILLE,
Texas, who was born in 1905, was once
introduced to David Crockett De-
scribing the incident, she says: sit
was in the winter of 1884, not long
after Crockett had been defeated for
Congress in Tennessee. We heard that
Crockett had crossed Red River, and
fearing that he might not come
through GAINESVILLE, but keep on the
old Trammell trail, we intended to
meet him. Jane Latimer, then girl
of eighteen, rode behind me, and Betsy
Latimer followed on pony. We
overlook Crockett and his party at the
house of Edward Deem, about four
miles from GAINESVILLE. 1t was early
in the morning, and when Mrs. Deem
saw us she said: Mrs. Clark, what in
the name Of God brings you here at
this time of the day?' My horse
brought me, ! answered, and then !
told her wanted some breakfast. We
went into the house, and friend, who
had known Crockett in Tennessee, in
troduced us. Crockett was dressed
like a gentleman, and not as a back
woodsman. He did not wear g coon
skin cap. It has always disguised me
to read these accounts of Crockett that
characterize HIM as an ignorant back
woodsman. Neither in dress, CONVEX
sation nor bearing could he have Gre
ated the impression that he was ignor-
ant or uncouth. He was man OF wide
practical information and was digni-
fed and entertaining. His language
was about as good as any we hear now
edays. "-Galyeston News.

RAILWAY IN ORCHARDS.
Electric Road Through the Richest Part
of Santa Clara Valley for
Fruit SHIPMENTS.

The fruit-growers and vineyardists of
Santa Clara County and the owners of the
vast redwood lumter districts Of the Santa
Cruz Mountains are deeply interested in
project, now well under way to extend an
electric railroad between San Jose and the
foothills on the western side of the valley,
the line having for its terminal point the
Saratoga Mineral Springs.
The proposed road will be superior in
equipment and operations to that running
between Oakland and Haywards. 1t will
pass through the most productive and
thickly populated portion of the valley
and tap a locality that produces annually
more than 100000 pounds of fruit. Be-
yond the orchards are immense vine tracts
and further in the mountains are large
areas of redwood lumber country.
This road will make 1t possible for the
producer to ship fruit directly from his
orchard on cars to Eastern markets. it is
calculated over ten carloads of lum Der will
be sent daily over the route.
The line will begin from the broad-gauge
depot in San Jose and be strictly first class,
with standard gauge, thus permitting the
passage of cars from any railroad system
Combination express and passenger cars
will be run during the day every half-hour
{.
Stops will be made at every mile and small
stations will be placed at stopping points
The distance between San Jose and Sara.
toga is thirteen miles.
The necessity of a railroad along this
contemplated route has bee n felt by prop
erty-owners and fruit-ranchers for several
years, but previously no well-organized
movement was set in motion. The San
Jose Board of Trade and many prominent
citizens have now taken the matter in
hand They estimate that the popuIa-
ton and productiveness of the region
traversed will be more than doubled
within five years after the roads com
pletion, property value to advance in like
ratio.
With such an increase San Jose will
have a suburb continuous to the Santa
Cruz Mountains, and the entire valley
will be enriched by millions of dollars
Not only will facilities for freight and
passenger service be afforded, but the resi-
dents along the line will be benefited in
the matter of mai, and be enabled to re-
ceive the San Francisco daily papers to
read at the breakfast table. 1t will be pos
sible for business men of this City to reside

has been pledged by residents along the

HEYLMAN'S BEHAVIOR.
How Mrs. Reads Uncle Reported Her Hus-
bands Suicide.

How Mrs. Reads Uncle Reported Her Hus-
bands Suicide.
Gustave A. Heylman of 624 Washington
| street, in answering question last night,
told story that begins to throw little
light upon the George Reynolds Richard
Smythe" mystery SO far as it concerns the
trials of Theodore Durrant for the murders
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
Heylman is the uncle of the wife of sd. ="
Charles Read, the man whom he reported
as having committed suicide at Point
| Bonita Sunday.
Heylman is on Reads bond.
The supposition is that Read was the
author of the Reynolds" and "Smythe"
statements, and that, failing to get what
he wanted, he wrote the .Reynolds" let,
ter; that he, his wife and sister-in-law and
Heylman went to Point Bonita, and there
the story of his suicide was invented.
The only knowledge the lighthouse
keepers had of the supposed suicide was
Heylman's statement to keeper duri1 G
the afternoon.
Heylman did not report the matter to
the Coroner of Marin County, but he did
pay visit to the Morgue in this City at
night. His manner of communicating
his information to Deputy Coroner John
Tyrrell was rather strange. This was the
dialogue that passed between them:
Heylman-In this the Coroners office?
Tyrrell-9es, sir.
Heylman-Did you get dead body from the
ocean?
Tyrrell-When?
Heylman-To-day
Tyrrell-No, sir. Why do you ask? Is any
badly drowned that you know?
Heylman-Yes; l think friend of mine
drowned himself off Point Bonita.
Tyrrell-Don't you know whether he drowned
himself?
Heylman-I don't know
Tyrrell-Was it suicide or accidental2
Heylman-He was in good spirits and dom t
know why he should commit suicide.
Tyrren - Well, Point Bonita is in Marin
County. Why don't you tell the Coroner of
Marin County? What was his name?
Heylman-Well, it don't make any difference
what his name was so long as you don't have
anything to do with it.
Then Heylman left the Coroners office,
and afterward told the story of the alleged
suicide to the reporters when they called
| on him.
