lnxslls Ina Fuss,

Speaking of lawyers fussing in
court" said Chief of Police Seip, lone
of the most violent affairs can remem-
ber occurred about 20 years ago, and
John J. Ingalls, and Judge G. q. Foster
were the principals. I was sheriff at the
time, and man was being tried on
some kind of criminal charge. Foster
was acting as county attorney, and In
gals represented the prisoner. ingalls,
and Foster became involved in an argu-
ment about some point of evidence, and,
after jawing each other for some time,
Ingalls, finally called Foster liar. Fos-
ter was at one end Of long table and
Ingalls, at the other. Foster grabbed a
huge ink fountain and threw it at In
gals, hitting him in the the breast and
spattering ink all over judge, jury and
all kinds of legal papers. The late Ma
than Price was judge, and he fined them
$50 each. They apologized next morn
ing, and their fines were remitted.-

Captain Freltch Plans to Circle the Globe
In That Manner.
Captain Adolph Freitch, who left Mil
waukee in the 40 foot schooner yacht or
scow Nina, which he built himself,
April 26, 1894, for a voyage down the
lakes and across the Atlantic, has re-
turned. He says he is the only man who
ever made the entire passage across the
Atlantic in small boat absolutely
alone.
Captain Freitch now proposes to build
another boat in Milwaukee to sail down
the Mississippi; thence, after crossing
the isthmus of Panama, to steer for Mel
bourne, thence to Sydney, to Bombay,
to Alden, on Suez canal, along the Medi-
terranean to France, to Paris, to London
and to New York.-Chicago Tribune.

WILL BE HIS OWN FATHER.
How Judge Scott Will Be Affected by HI
President &arrison's Marriage.

How Judge Scott Will Be Affected by Ex-
President Harrison's Marriage.
Ex-President Harrison's brother-in-
law, Judge ]. N. Scott Of Port Towns
hend, Wash, at social gathering the
other evening discovered very unexpect-
edIy that he was about to become his
own father. The subject of General Har-
rison's approaching wedding was being
discussed with party Of friends when
some one asked Judge Scott if that
would not somewhat complicate and
tangle up the limbs on the family tree.
For moment the question somewhat
stunned the gentleman, and then the
party commenced to try to solve the
matrimonial problem, and the deeper
they went into the subject the more
mystified they became, and finally it
was given up as an unfathomable tangle.
Several of the notes made and calcula-
tions formed were preserved and given
to the press.
OF the existing relationship Judge
Scott is fully informed. 1t was in trying
to locate the limb of his own family tree
after the wedding shall have taken place
that he became confused. After several
hours of deep mental exercise he arrived
at these conclusions: am now Cen
eral Harrison IS brother in law, and Mrs.
Dimmick, his prospective bride, is my
niece. After they are married my BROTH
er-in-law will become my nephew, and
my niece, consequently, will become my
sister-in-law. Then, Of course, will
become my own brother-in-law, and
also. my niece's brother-in law. Now"
slowly continued the philosophical rea-
soner, delving into the future little
deeper, "if this contemplated union
should be productive of claimant for
the ancestral hat, he will be my nephew,
and also my grandnephew. will be
his uncle and his granduncle. Whew,"
calculated the judge, as he wiped the
perspiration from his brow, "that will
complicate matters. Just see here. Now,
in order to be uncle and granduncle to
one and the same person, it must neces-
sarily follow that I am my own father,
and-oh, hang the whole thing any
how, am not going to rack my brain
over other peoples troubles" and up
jumped the judge, somewhat exasper-
ated.
The logical result of the union was
quite astonishing; the judge and the
guests sat down to figure it out again,
arriving at the same conclusion. Then
some one ascertained that General Har-
rison would become his own nephew
and cousin of his own son, should one
be born, and who will, also, be second
cousin to his own brother and, his IA
ther s nephew. At this point the mental
exercise subsidized, Judge Scott agreeing
to furnish palatable beverage if his
guests would keep inviolate the secret.
But it leaked out, and has been given to
the press. Louis Globe Democrat.

Mr. uratepar's Advice to Philip.

eft isn't new, the idea of living with
in ones income, said Mr.. Gratebar,
"but I am trying to impress on Philip
the importance Of beginning in his
youth. I don't want him to be mean or
stingy, but do want him to save some
thing every year, without interruption,
and to begin when he is young. Begun
early and kept up continuously, it is al
most wonderful how even small savings
accumulate. There is scarcely man
who cannot provide himself with mod
crate fortune from his savings alone by
beginning early and keeping at it.
"Old? Of course it's old; old as the
hills, but how many Of us have profited
by it? And want Philip to begin now. :"

HOW TO KEEP HOUSE.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an effect or antithesis
which we have to contend in the form of
aches and pains. In some way and by
some form at some time. Trifiing as some
of them may be, the risk is that they will
grow to something greater and rack the
system with constant torture. There is
nothing, therefore, of this kind that we
have right to trifie with. Taken in time.
the worst forms of aches and pains are
easily subdued and permanently cureo
by the free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be without
a bottle of this great remedy for pam. One
good reason for this is that some kinds O
sudden pam are acute enough to be fatal
where the application of the great cure
might save life. You want it also in ths
wo 4nds, and the house that always has it
keeps up sort of insurance against pain.

AT A MALAY PICNIC.
A JOLLY DAY or SIMPLE PLEASURES
IN THE JUNGLE.

Old and Young Mingle Together and Arc
Happy-No Tiresome Advance Prepara-
tion Of Food-How Fish Are Captured
and Cooked For the Banquet.
OF all picturesque sights Malay pic
bic is one of the prettiest. With the first
tawn of morning the start is made.
Nothing as yet can be seen distinctly.
A few saffron arrows of light are thrown
up in the eastern horizon, and distant
mountain heads begin to glow. Stimuli
taneously stir arises in the village,
and gaping villagers of all ages begin to
issue out from their graceful atap houses
and make toward the place of rendez-
vous. By the time the party has gather
ed, some 20 minutes, the horizon seems
to explode, wide rush of orange light
spreads near and far, and the great hot
sun comes up, painting. Then follows
the most delicious hour of the day. A
hundred hues of green are brought out
into shining relief, every dewy leaf be-
comes prism in which rainbows float.
The jungle life awakens Into its morn
ing psalm, brilliant birds twitter and
COO together seeking the early bug, gor-
geous butterflies come forth to dry their
spangled wings on 1eafy shrubs, while
far in the jungle often the hoarse. gut
tural, fearsoms growl of the Malayan
tiger sounds bass to the chorus.
The picnickers are now under way.
Before them is a march of six or seven
miles through virgin jungle and open
spaces of country. That will consume
some two or three hours. Some Of the
females are mounted upon elephants-
if there are any well to do families in
the village. They sit very gracefully on
their lofty mounts and enjoy the ride,
it we may judge from their faces and
frequent peals Of laughter. Most OF the
party is afoot. They are in holiday Co.'S
tune. A finely woven sarong Of cotton
or ilk forms the lower garment of men
and women alike. The sarong is many
hued and the most graceful of gar
ments It consists Of piece Of material
of suitable length sewed together at the
side, both ends being open. The upper
end, in wearing, is tucked neatly and
tightly together with the hand and
held securely around the waist by
belt. Sometimes these krosangs, or
belts, are richly jeweled and worth as
much as 1900 silver dollars. But we
shall not see that sort at picnic. The
upper garment of men and women alike
is cloth or cotton jacket (kabaia). In
stead of buttons the women use for fas-
Jennings a number Of gold or silver
brooches. The men largely affect brass

Echoes From Horses Skulls.

Those curious twists and turns super
stitions take are to be found in the in
PRODUCTION of horses skulls in or about
the church buildings in England and
Scotland, the reason alleged being to
help the sound in church.
This habit is unquestionably relic
of heathenism where an animal was
sacrificed. Some years ago, when an old
meeting house in Edinburgh was pulled
down, the sounding board space above
the pulpit was found to be filed with
horses skulls.
In some parts of England there still
exists the idea that if horses head is
buried in field there will be an echo.
