School street lawyer, says the Boston
Globe. tells the following story as charac-
teristic of the late Judge McCaffertv:
Among the cases before him one morning
was one in which a rather seedy-loolxing
fellow was billed for vagrancy. The officer
who made dhe arrest. and who was the
principal witness was one of those officials
who never speak a good word of a pris-
oner. He testified in substance that he had
seen the man loafing around for several
days and as far as he knew had no visi-
bic means of support.
Was the man searched when arrested?'
asked the court, nodding his head in the
direction of the man in the dock.
Il searched him, your honor" replied
the officer promptly.
Did you ind any money about his per-
son?'
The officer looked at the judge some
what confusedly and then. after a few
moments of thought, replied rather light
ly:
Yves, your honor; 10 cents"
can. you buy plate of beans for 10
cents?"
The officer, thinking his honor was
about to crack a joke. laughing2y re-
sponded:
why, yes, of course"
Then, sir" and the judge spoke severe
ly, understand from me that a man who
has money enough to buy plate of beans
is not a vagrant. Understand further, sir,
that as long as am a justice of this court
l never again want to see you bring a man
before me ON a charge of vagrancy who
has 10 cents in his pocket. Mr. Clerk, dis
charge the prisoner"

Helen F. More in the Century
Before the battle of Lexington, William
Dawes and Paul Revere were both dis
patched to rouse the country, Dawes
starting first:
l am a wandering, bitter shade;
Never of me was a hero made;
Poets have never sung my praise,
Nobody crowned my brow with bays;
And if you ask me the fatal cause
l answer only, MY name was Dawes"
IT is all very we'll for the children to hear
OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere;
But why should my name be quite forgot,
Who rode as boldly and well, God wot?
Why should I ask? The reason is clear
My name was Dawes and his Revere.
When the lights from the old North
Church flashed out,
Paul Revere was waiting about,
But l was already on my way.
The shadows of night fell cold and gray
As / rode, with never a break or pause;
But what was the use, when my name
was Dawes?
History rings with his silvery name;
Closed to me are the portals of fame.
Had he been Dawes and Revere
No one had heard of him, l fear.
No one has heard of me because
He was Revere and was Dawes.

Dean Hole Liked Tbis.

In his book, "A Little Tour in America
Dean Hole of Rochester, England, quotes
with JUNCTION many specimens of what
he regards as typical American humor
When he was in Cincinnati, the thing that
most impressed him was the following
bit of doggerel, which he heard recited
in that city:
Little Willie from his mirror
Sucked the mercury all Off
Thinking in his childish error,
1t would cure the whooping cough.
At the funeral Willie's mother
Smartly said to Mrs. Brown:
"'I,was a chilly day for Willie.

The following. says the Blackburn
Standard. is characteristic anecdOte:
When the batteries Of the Ingour were
taken. the first soldier who entered. per-
ceiVing a Russian colonel lying dead upon
the ground, plucked of his glove and ap-
proprlated valuable diamond ring which
was upon his finger. Knowing, however,
that IL would be impossible very long 10
Keep secret the possession OF 50 valuable
tain, his treasure, and requested perfris
sion to keep il.
The usbashl told the man that he was
quite right to bring the prize TO him. and
that hencefOrth il should be transit eTred
to the finger Of the said usbashi
The soldier, not satisfied with this ar
rangement, referred the matter to the
bimbashi, or major. who said that both
be and the usbashi were highly culpable
in daring TO retain the ring from their SUI
perior officer, and that he would therefore
relieve them of the subject OF dispute.
From the bimbashi the soldier went to
the kama kama, or Lieutenant colonel,
who at once followed the example OF mis-
interiors. and took possession OF the ring
The soldier stll perseVered, however,
and went to the meer ali colonel, who de-
termind that he was the rightful posses
sor OF the ring by virtue of his rank, and
dismissed the rival claimants from his
presence in the most summary manner
Next day a French officer attached TO
the staff Of Omar Pacha observed a pri-
commander-in-chief. The story OF the
ring was at once retailed by its original
pOssesSOr to this gentleman, who laid the
matter before his highness. and the man
had not only the satisfaction OF regain.
ing possession of his property, but OF
knowing that those who had attempted
successfully to deprive him of II had
been reprimanded for their conduct.

A Fnmonr DueIIst.

The Marquise de rAngle-Beaumanoir,
who has just died in Paris, was in his
younger days famous as a duelist, says
the Argonaut. one evening meeting his
cousin, the AIarquise du Halleys, in the
foyer of the opera, he walked up to him,
and in the course of conversation re-
marked: isn't it odd, my dear fellow,
that. quarrelsome as you and are, we
should never have fought with one an
other"
That's true" replied Du Hallays; but
that can always be remedied.'
And on the strength of that the two
cousins met in mortal combat on the fol-
lowing morning, the encounter resulting in
the Marquise de PAngie-Beaumanoir haV-
ing his right hand pierced by his adver-
sary's rapier, which, while il rendered
continuation of the fight impossible, left
the other hand free 10 grasp that of his
cousin in undiminished friendship a mo-
ment afterward. on another occasion,
when he was about to fight a duel in
which he was entirely in the right and his
adversary in the wrong, he suddenly dis
covered that his opponenG was perfect
novice in SwOrdsmanship, and that he
would. therefore, have him completely at
his mercy. He strobe up to him, and,
in the presence of twenty or thirty per-
sons, presented the most courteous and
full apology. Almost dumbfounded, the
latter inquired why the marquise assumed
such an extraordinary course. Because"
he returned, sit would really be too I'M
fortunate If 1 were to fight with a mazette
(greenhorn),' and with that he made a
low bow, and then turned his back upon

The vast subscription to the loan is a
convincing proof of absolute confidence in

merely by buying government bonds, but

The situation at Frankfort, KY, is such
as TO induce sorrow in persons unbiased
by partisan feelings with regard to the
senatorial contest. and to cause them to
ask themselves if the vaunted American
system of republican government is so
nearly perfect as Americans like to think.
The fact that it should be deemed neces-
sary to call out the militia to protect
members of the legislature from violence
is decidedly to Kentuekys discredit.
