EoaAdling Hospital
One night In 1901 little girl about
one year old was deposited in the draw
er Of the founding hospital ct Brest.
She was dressed with much finery. and
. note attached to her skirts told that
her name was Solange, and that she
would be reclaimed by her father.
When she was IL years old she was
sent out into the streets to sell flowers,
and her beauty and her modesty at
tracted many peoples good will; hut
she grew weaker and weaker, and at
last died, or, at least, it was thought 50.
According to French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, as it was
winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave covered only with .
thin layer of sand. During the night
she awoke. and. pushing the sand
away, crept out from the grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not SO very much
frightened; but in crossing the glade
between the cemetery and the fortifi-
cations, she was suddenly stopped by
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the sentinel fred, and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guard house, her
wound was found to be very slight, and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history, and also her great beauty had
made SO deep an impression on young
lieutenant Of the garrison-Kramer-
that he determined to be her protect
or, and sent her to one Of the most FASH
ionable educational establishments in
Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war;
but when, In 1878, he returned to Paris.
he found Solange full-grown woman.
not only beautiful. but accomplished
and spirited, with no more trace Of in
tellectual weakness or nervous fits. He
married her, and for several years the
couple lived happily in Paris.
Meanwhile Investigations were made
concerning the girl left in 1901 in the
founding hospital at Brest, and. as
these Investigations were made by the
Swedish ambassador, and in q some
what Official manner, they attracted
some attention.
Capt. Kramer heard about. the in
quiry and sent note to the ambossa-
dor, and q month later the ambassador
came in state to bring Mime. Kramer

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

Its Editor Il DiAgusted with the Nuisance
Of Poor Shooting.
There is altogether too much fooling
with deadly weapons in this town, and
at the last meeting Of the common coun-
Gil the city marshal was instructed
to take radical steps to put stop to
the nuisance. No man should he per-
mitted to carry gun for ornament OF
bluff. If he can't make use Of it for the
purpose of shooting. and shooting with
results, he should be disarmed ard
compelled to carry club or a brick
bat.

two customers at the bar had been
wounded.
Sunday morning as Col. johnson was
walking about town in search OF an

impulsive and enthusiastic manner
The racket brought out a hundred peo-

Monday night there was \ row in

COON HUNTING IN NEW JERSEY.


How O3A Ike Martin anA Hls Dogs Cate
the Game.
Old-fashioned coon hunting IL still
in vogue in New Jersey. Postmaster
Ayres, Of Aetuchen. and John Martin,
q farmer living near New Durham,
are among the leading sportsmen who
tree the sly animal.
II II poor winter when they don't
capture q score Of these gamy rodents.
For many years John Martin has had
q champion breed Of coon dogs that
sedan fail in their search or in kill
ing their quarry when the hunters
shake It down from the tree in which
the dogs have brought it to bay. With
two Of these. dogs Messrs. Ayres and
Martin set out the other day upon their
favorite quest. They had tried the
woods in vain, and attributed their
ill-fortune to the dry spell. which had
driven tholr game to other and better
watered regions. So they set out by
train for Monmouth Junction and Ike
Martin.
Now, Ike Martin is an old-time woods
man. . trapper - wise in woodcraft
and a shot As unerring - Natty Leath.
e-stOcking himself. A short distance
from Monmouth Junction he lives q
hermit life in the woods, miles away
from the haunts Of men. on q little
clearing, on which he raises garden
truck In summer-vegetables, SO to
speak-but in winter, with gun and
dog and trap. he lives the life he loves.
Ike IL in his S0th year, but he can fol-
low the deep bay of his dogs through
the woods for miles, and when they
have freed q coon he can climb the
tallest tree like q boy and shake it
down among the dogs.
On this occasion Ayres and Martin
were guided to ne's retreat, as they
had often been before, by the sound
OF . quaint, old-fashioned tune on his
violin. which is his solace on every win
ter's night. They found him as eager
Tor the chase as any springal of 20,
and soon he had his best dog with
theirs on the runways. For the coon
no less than the deer has his accus-
toned paths, which the old hunter
knows. They set out about nine o'clock
at night, and inside OF half an hour
they had freed a coon. which, when Ike
had shaken of the highest limb, proved
10 be tough old customer for the dogs,
and appeared. when they had finished
1t. to be 2O-pounder. After another
tramp through the woods the dogs
again gave tongue, and again Ike
climbed for his game and shook down
a fat young coon that would make
darky's mouth water to look at.
Although they found no more 'coons
that night the party secured couple
Of 'possums that would have made royal
side dishes for plantation Christmas
dinner, and they came home contented.
English hares are also abundant in
New Jersey. The English hare was
imported about ~ years ago by Pierre
Lorillard. the tobacco millionaire and
famous horse-breeder. He put them on
his big Rancocas farm at Jobstown, in
Burlington county. They have thriven
and have spread all over the
state. Reports of their capture come in
from various quarters. Several were
killed last week in Hunterdon county,
ard several more fell victims to the
sportsmeH away up in Warren county,
at the upper end of the state.-Chicago

LAWYERS IN EUROPEAN STATES


AeAh~a&SAA
Prof. Edward jerks, of London, gives
. review of the qualifications required
for admission to the bar in the chief
European states. The facts arc gath
cred from correspondents at the princi-
pal capitals. The article was drawn cut
by Chief Justice Russell, as to the lack
Of scientific teachings Of the law in
England. A summary Of the facts
gathered by Prof. jerks in the Law
Times article shows that in Germany,
Belgium, Sweden and Norway there is
but one class of practitioners. In
France, Italy and Scotland there is a
separation between the advocate aud
the solicitor. In Holland there is a
theoretical distinction between barris-
tiers and solicitors, but by q recent law
one person may unite both functions.
Prof. jerks says that in Germany,
France. Italy, Belgium, Holland,
Sweden and Norway q scientific study
of law in a university is practically IN
dispensable rs a preliminary to profess
sional practice. In Scotland it is in
dispensable for barrister, but not es-
sentinl. though usual. in the case o, q
solicitor. In Germany and Belgium
apprenticeship or service under q prac-
titioner is compulsory. In Italy it is
required for barrister, but not for So
icitors. In Scotland the rule is the
other way. France, Holland, Sweden
and Norway do not require previous
apprenticeship. While the informa-
ton does not cover all the states of Luz
rope. it is apparent that England has
been almost alone in failing to offer
courses Of study for law at university.

tainly He Grows Fat.
Ono of the strangest Of all the strange
phases OF human nature is the cheerful
ness of the average murderer after con-
vict;on and sentence. There are, of
course, exceptions to the rule; there
are murderers who await execution in
horror and dread, and occasionally one
dies of this torment before the fatal day
arrives. But these are rare cases and
do not affect the correctness of the
proposition that the average murderer
is a rather cheerful person. sleeps well.

his last hour. manifests lively interest
in such worldly affairs as occupied his
mind before he was caught. Gagged aud
marked for the hangman.
Trouble of mind is not conducive to
the taking on of fat. A convict whose
day Of death had been finally fixed, and
who had no ground on which to base
the faioAest hope of clemency, might
affect cheerfulness, or even popularity.
in the presence Of visitors. But there
is no affecting q growth of adipose. The
man whose weight II increasing day by
day, even in the shadow of the gallows,
is not in mental distress. The mind
and body are too closely related for
either to be tormented without the full
participancy of the other.
Here is an extract from a reporters
account Of visit to Harry Hayward. at

only because it is impossible for the
