Only an Assault.

As the prisoner stood before the
Judge he gave evidence of a man hav-
ing passed through cyclone and
tapered off on threshing machine.
"You are charged with assault and
battery on your wife," said the Court
to the prisoner. "Are you guilty or
not guilty?
Not guilty, your Honor"
''The officer who arrested you says
he saw you fighting with your wife
and pulled you away from her."
"Yes, your Honor, he did, and |
was much obliged to him."
"And still you say you are not
guilty?"
mo, your Honor"
allow do you make that out ?'
Easy enough, your Honor. She
called me drunken loafer, and
tackled her on the spot"
"Dcn't you call that assault and bat
terry ?"
.'No, your Honor. Only assault; she
did all the battering; look at me, your
Honor, and judge for yourself"

the fine one-half.-New York Record

She Headed the Line.

The Red Lake Mimi Indian reser-
sation, opened to white settlers on. May
Is, is nearly as large as the State Of
New Jersey. Among the interesting
opening day incidents, says Harpef's
was one in which a matronly
looking washer woman from the city Of
81. Paul played an important part A
man named Ted iieCsll had heid the
place n; the head Of the line nj the
Z t'rUok-ton land Office for three days.
Abou. O'Clock on the day iefore the
opening, not noticing woman ia the
dark hallway outside the registers
office which led down the street, and
in which there was dirty, haggard,
unkempt, ghastly-faced crowd of men
in line, he left his place for an instant,
when the silent woman who had been
standing in the shadows, produced
camp-stool and seated herself at the
head Of the line in fine triumph.
She stayed right on that camp-stool
from O'Clock on Thursday afternoon
until 8 O'Clock on Friday morning.
She had borrowed money to get to
Crookston, and the Governor Of the
State had given her a pass. She had
no husband, but had two sons coming
of age, and proposed to see to it that
she stood at the head Of the line and
got for her sons the best fling there
was on the reservation. When the
clock was about striking the hour Of 8
on Friday morning 1.-the form bound
ed up over the heads Of the waiting
policeman, and over the head of the
devoted widow washerwoman from st.
Paul, scaled the casing to the door,
climbing through the transOm over the
door with the agility of cat, landed
on his feet inside the registers office
just as clock struck Q, and annOune-
ed: "red Mccall, gentlemen. It's9
O'Clock Pm ready to file"
But it happened that it lacked half
a minute Of 9 by the regulation clock,
80 he was hustled out of the room. But
he returned with the opening of the
door, and, in spite of all the washer
woman's persistency, registered first.
She was giveE the second place, how
ever. Several other women waited for
hours in the line, and succeeded in
filing after much WEAKNESS.

Spider-Sailors.

IL was reseryed for DIR. McCook,
however, TO discover a mode of lOcomo-
tion used by some spiders, but previous
ly unknown to naturalists- When
studying the habits of certain water
spiders he shook the branches of a tree
that stood by the waters edge in or
der to procure specimens A number
of spiders fell, and all travelled back to
shore in ways familiar to the doctor,
with the exception Of one spider,
which seemed to move across the sur
face of the water without any motion
its legs.
When it approached the shore the
doctor placed it far out on the pond
again, and watched it more closely.
In few moments it resumed its peeu
liar method of travelling, and he saw
positively that ii did not use its legs.
How, then, did it cross the water
The gentle breeze blowing against its
body could hardly have driven it at
the rate it was going, for that it was
moving along at fairly good pace
was evidenced by the little ripplets
W hich streamed out on either side of
the circle of rigid legs.
IL occurred to the doctor that per-
haps this little mariner was sailing un-
der an invisible sail; in other words,
that perhaps the spider had let out a
Ii umber of silken threads as the
aeronaut spiders do; and that, instead
of carrying it through the air they
caused it to skim rapidly over the sur
face of the water.
As the curious little chap approach
ed the land again, the doctor held his
cane out about two feet above the spi-
der. In moment il came to a halt
The mystery was solved; as he had
suspected, the tiny craft was really
sailing under invisible sails, and as
they came into contact with the doc
tors cane they adhered TO it so firmly
that by a sudden movement Of the
stick the spider was lifted clear out Of
the water.
1t is just possible that-a gossamer
thread runs from the tip of each leg to
the one next it, thereby forming a
diminutive silken float for the spider
TO stand upon, but of this there is no
certainty. However, we could hardly
ask for anything more wonderful tina n
spider that is sailor, aud his Ow n
sailboat and his own sailmaker, all in
one.-Our Animal Friends.

Watch the Turkeys.

Says Pennsylvania farmer: 81 al
ways know when there is going to be a
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chicks go to roost each night. In
calm weather the fowls always roost on
the poles with their heads alternating
each way-that is, one faces east, the
next west, and SO on.
"But when there is going to be a
high wind they always roost with
their heads toward the direction from
which the storm is coming. There are
reasons for these diffe rent ways of
roosting, take it.
"When there is-no wind to guard
against they can see other dangers
more readily if they are headed in both
directions, but when wind is to arise
they face it because they can hold
their positions better. But the part I
can't understand is how the critters
know that the wind is going to rise
when we mortals lack all intimation of
it.r'-New York Mercury.

The Judge looked at her so sharply
over his glasses that she involuntarily
paused.

his business" he said.
~ did hand down an adverse deeis-
iOn," she answered, ''and he declared
that he would appeal. However,

last resort in a ease like that, and that
no appeal would lie from my decision" I"
Possibly the court was assuming a
little more power than rightfully be-
longs TO it," said the Judge thought
fully: ''but let that pass. What did
he do them"
"He filed a petition for a re-
hearing"
''The usual course" said the Judge,
'but it is usually nothing but a mere
fornality."

The Wind Pulled His Tooth.
From the LouIsviIle Commercial.

From the Louisville Commercial.
One of the queerest pranks lf the
wind during the cyclone the other
night happened at the corner of Sixth
and Jefferson streets. John GazzOllo,
the night engineer at the City Hall,
has been suffering from toothache for
some time and has been telling his
friends that he intended to have the
acher jerked out as soon as he could
screw his courage up to the point. On
the night in question his tooth ache d
SO badly that he could hardly hear t he
wind blow. He was desperate. Bor-
rowing gum overcoat from one of the
policemen about the police station, he
started Ous just as a funnel-shaped cloud
was scudding along. He reached the
corner of Sixth and Jefferson streets
and was about to turn the corner when
a gust of wind struck him and lifted
him off his feet. He might have been
carried over to the Court House and
drowned in the fountain but for his
presence of mid in grasping the iron
railing that runs around the steps lead
ing into the basement. He clung there
for moment with the wind right in
his face. He turned his head, and as
he did so there was sudden jerk that
dislodged his hat and fairly unraveled
his red necktie. Then there was lull,
and when he crept back into the station
house he made the startling discovery
that the aching tooth was gone. The
wind had pulled it. He tells the story
himself, and ifit is not true Mr.. Gaz-
zollo has greatly deceived me.

Commodore March.

A good story was told lately of Com
modore March, of Mareh's Point, FL
dalgo Island, whose ready wit is we'll
known to the habitues of the Hotel
Butler, and, indeed, all over the
Sound. The Commodore was called
as witness in the Point Roberts dis
pute between the eannery men and
the Indians, and the lawyer on the
other side, with "what-ean-you-
know-about-it air." put the question to
him:
"How long have you been in this
part Of the country, Mr.. Marchsu
Mr.. March has pretty chin, and ne
shaves his white whiskers 10 either
side TO show it off. When the ques-
ton was 50 saddenly PIT, he softly
caressed the pretty chin and slowly
and meditatively said, as to himself:
Forty, forty-five, fifty" and at
length answered: ''Fifty-five years"
"Fifty-hve years. said the lawyer,
and then, rs if he were addressing
Christopher Columbus, asked:
And what did you discover, Mr..
March:r

"Dark-yisaged savage, eh? Yes; and
what did you say 10 him?''
81 said it was fine day."
''Fine day? Yes, and what did he

of the whole court room, until per-

Why Your Head Aches.

Head pain is common in all disor-
dered conditions of the system. It
may occur in the progress Of almost all
acute and chronic diseases, at some
time in their course, or 1t may precede
them. The pain may be external or
internal, and is due to a variety of in
fiuences that affect either the scalp or
the contents of the cranium.
The determination of the particular
tissues involved is extremely difficult;
especially because the sufferer is un-
able to locate definitely the pain.
Headache is rarely regarded as dis
tinct disorder, but is considered rather
as a symptom or accompaniment of
some other disturbance in the system.
Variations in the circulation, with
the resultant notifications of the
blood-pressure, the presence in the
blood of poisonous matters, irritatiOns
transmitted to the brain from more or
less remote parts of the body, OF alb
normal or diseased conditions of the
digestive organs-all these enter into
the production of this most common
form of distress.
These causes, acting singly or col
lectively, associated with an Oversensi-
tive condition of the nerves of the
brain, and the membranes which en-
velop it, cause the pain
BY far the most common form of
headache is that due to u disordered
condition of the organs of digestion.
Such headaches are the result of indi-
gestion and constipation, as well as of
overindulgence in eating or drinking.
A disordered stomach or a sluggish
condition of the bowels, combined
with overwork and too little exercise
in the open air. are frequent causes Of
headache in persons who pursue sed-
entary and indoor occupations.
The remedy for this kind of head
ache is the exercise of regularity and
moderation in eating, with an avoid
ance of food that is innutritious and
difficult of digestion, and attention to
the regularity of the bowels. The last
point is of especial importance.
One variety of headache, the cause
of which is sometimes overlooked, re-
suits from eye-strain. The provision
of proper glasses, and treatment cal
culated to improve the tone of the
muscles of the eyes, have been follow
ed by prompt relief in numberless in
stances.-Youth's Companion.

A Slave Hunt Recalled.

Geor &c w. Latimer, Of Lynn, the
first fugitive slave hunted in Massa-
chusetts, died recently at his home, "A
Mariana street, Lynn, and was buried
yesterday. His history was an incar-
ceration on Massachusetts, soil in 1912
that, to great extent, inspired the old
anti-slavery workers in the earlier
years of the controversy. He had
been given his freedom by the will of
his mistress, but the will was never
probated, and the heirs refused to al
low the bequest, and he was sold to
James B. Gray, of Norfolk, Va. Sept
tember, 1911, he and his wife mana
ged to secrete themselves in the fore
peak of a steamer loaded with cotton
for the North, and nine hours later left
the boat at its next port of call, and
took steamer for Baltimore, whence
they went to New York, and came from
that place to Boston. They found
lodgings among people of their own
color on Joy street, but when Latimer
ventured to the post office he was re-
cOgnized by man from the South,
and two weeks later his master arrived
from Norfolk and caused his arrest.
He was taken to theLeverett Street
Jail, and his master at once institute d
proceedings to have him returned to
Virginia as fugitive. Garrison and
others fought the case on every point,
but Chief Justice Shaw ruled that Gray
had right to take his chattel back if
he could prove property. Public in
dignation meetings were held in differ
ent parts of the State, the most notable
one being in Faneuil Hall, October %,
at which Sewell presided, and the
speakers were Wendell Philips, George
S. Hilliard, Charles l.. Remard and
Frederick Douglass, who was himself
at that time fugitive.
a respite was granted in the court
proceedings, and Gray's counsel offer
ed to free Latimer for $500. This was
refused, and when Gray heard thatIit
was the intention of the citizens to
storm the Jail and release Latimer, he
modified his demands and freed him
for half the amount originally demand
ed.
The sum was raised by DIR. Samuel
L. Caldwell, pastor of the fremont
Temple. The return of Lltimer to
Virginia to be tried on charge of Tar
ceny that had been preferred against
him was then demanded, but extradi-
ton papers were refused. Shortly
after he removed to Lynn, and had
lived there since, honored and respect
ed by all who knew him. He was 10
years old at the time of his death, and
left a widow aud three children

Coyotes And Their Pups.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day on the Lemon farm, near
Garfield, Wash. Burt Lemon and an
employe of the farm were plowing,
when they came across three young
coyote pups which had not yet opened
their eyes. While they were ex-
amining them the old ones appeared
and approached to within fifty yards.
Mr.. Lemon went to the house for a gun
and a sack and placed the young ones
i'm the sack, which was tied up and
left in the field until time to go in from
work.
The old coyotes kepta respectful dis
tance from the rifle, but hoyered
around. Several turns of the field were
made with the plow and, finally, when
the men came in sight of where they
had left the sack containing the young
coyotes they saw one Of the old ones
with the sack, puppies and all, streak
ing it over the hill and that was the
last seen of them.-Spokane Spokes-
