court and asked permission to bestow
his gold watch and chain, together

the detective who had arrested him.
Deans little speech was concluded after
this fashion: "This brave fellow de-
serves such a present, seeing that he

IAthe last year and a~half." Naturally
the court refused to allow the present
to be made, and as the prisoner was

A Word About Mothers

daughter, said: II want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you noticed a careworn look upon her
face. OF course it has not been
brought there by any act of yours;
still it is your duty to chase it away.
l want you to get up tomorrow morn
ing and get breakfast. When your
mother comes and begins to express
her surprise, 60 right up to and kiss
her on the mouth. You can't imagine
how it will brighten her dear face.
Besides, you owe her kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face You were
not as attra ctive then as you are now.
Through years Of childish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready to
cure, by the magic of mothers kiss,
the little, dirty, chubby hands when
ever they were injured in those first
skirmishes with the rough old world

A New York Mans Singular Wish
for Transformation to an Insect
Of Worry.
Mrs. Mary G. Baker and John and
Frank Baker, widow and sons of the
late Edwin Baker, the we'll known
real estate dealer Of Brooklyn, who
died. on June IS, 1894, leaving an es-
tate~alued at more than a million dol
lars, began a contest of the will yes
terday before Judge Rumsey. Under
the will they were practically disin-
herlted, the bulk of the estate going to
Constance Ellen A. Cookson, Susan
Murrell, Joseph Calvin and the Brook
Ign library. The contestants claim
that Baker was incompetent to make
q will and produced witnesses yester-
day to prove that he was insane. Will
lam Schwartz testified that on one &C.
cosion the testator said to him: Il
would sooner be roasting for twenty
years in purgatory than breathe the
same air with my wife for five min
utes." At another time he said: Il
wish that after my death I'd be trans
formed into a mosquito. Then the old
woman wouldn't have a quiet hour
during her life" Mrs. Baker sent her
husband a pudding on his birthday,
but he refused to eat it until he salts
fed himself by giving some of it to his
dog that it did not contain poison.
Schwartz told also how Baker was in
the habit of drinking whisky in beer
schooners, and in this he was backed
up by George 7. Hamlet, who said he
was often sent out by Baker to pur-
chase liquor, snd that Bakers weekly
average of whisky was about two gal

Love in England md Chino.

Love In England ind China,
A conspicuous difference between
the English and Chinese dramas is ex-
planned by the fact that, whereas in
the former love holds a leading part
In the latter it is relegated to a secon-
dary place. In England it is a pas
sion; in China, sentiment only;
hence the thousand intrigues love
gives rise to are, in the latter country,
either thrown into the shade or ia
booed entirely. Without their ardent
passions, many of our theatrical pro-
auctions would lose their interest and
most of their merit. An English, or,
to use a wider term, European play
goer req Tires due quantum Of love.
In China, on the other hand, this de-
mand finds little echo, since love there
10 not the chief theme of bard and
painter. Convention and the strength
OF parental authority have crushed, in
q great measure those amorous long
ings which exist in the human heart;
and as love, courtship and matrimony
are even more prosaic in the Far East
than in our part of the world, the first
Of these feelings, if handled as a pas
sion, cannot powerfully arrest the at
tention of the multitude.-Nineteen
