An Honest Judge.

Zone of the most honest men who
ever lived was Judge Arthur Shields,
said G. r. Markham of Cheyenne. HE
was on the bench in the early days OF
Kansas, and l was one of the lawyers
who praoticed in his court. Upon one
occasion / was conducting a case in
which I had perfect confidence when
the trial began, but before it had pro-
crossed far the evidence against my
clients side of the controversy was SO
strong and so unexpected that l saw the
case was hopeless. I fully believed the
witnesses lied, but could not shake them
by cross examination, and 1t looked as
though my client would lose his prop
erty. Judge Shields had decided every
question with perfect fairness, and II
could not be seen that he was in any
way interested until suddenly he called
to an attorney, Mr.. Black, take the
bench for the rest Of this case' then,
turning to me, he said: Have me sworr
as a witness. will not see mar
robbed in this court in matters of which
am personally cognizant. He took thu
stand, and his testimony saved the cas'
for me. The other side appealed, bu
the Judge was sustained, the only cas-
of the kind in the books. "-Washingtoi

A Bit Of Irish wit.

Some time ago while was trading
IN village store one of the clerks came
to the junior partner, who was waiting
on me, and said:
PLEASE step to the desk. Pat Flynn
wants to settle his account and wants
receipt"
The merchant was evidently annoyed.
"Why, what does he want Of re-
ceipt?" he said. "We never give one.
Simply cross his account off the book
That is receipt enough"
$50 / told him." answered the clerk,
"but he is not satisfied. You had bet
ter see him.
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and, after greeting Pat with "Good
morning" said:
"You want to settle your bill, dc
you?"
Pat replied in the affirmative.
"Well. said the merchant. There il
no need of my giving you a receipt
See, will cross your account of the
book" and, suiting the action to the
word, he drew his pencil diagonally
across the account. THAT is good re
ceipt."
"And do you name that that settles
| itr' exclaimed Pat.
"That settles it, said the merchant
Sand you're sure you'll never b.
| askin me for it again?"
| "We'll never ask you for it again,
said the merchant decidedly.
| "Faith, thin" said Pat, 'I'll be afte
kapin me money in me pocket, for
haven't paid it. y
| "Oh, well, l can rub that out. "
Faith, now, and l thought tn
same," said Pat.
1t is needless to add that Pat got hi
receipt. -Romance

THE SOUL AND SORROW.


All, slay me not, o sorrow, In April days.
For when the skies are warm l fain would
sing:
When mounts the bluebirds' song l. too. would
praise
And lift my heart with every living thingl
The weight N " bring st-ysa. turn thy face
away
And journey from me yet little while,
But leave me bright faced Joy In April's day
To wander with me through the forest aisle.
One day, o sorrow, will go with thee
And learn the strength that thou alone must
givei
Yea, one day thou shalt come and call for re
And will walk thy way and learn to livei
But not in April days-when would sing,
When south winds roam the ever greening
earth
And Joy tumultuous in my heart doth spring
Ger every wildwood bloom that springs to
birthi

ETIQUETTE IN SPAIN.
There the People Are Punctiliousiy Polite
at All Times.

There the People Are Punctiliously Polite
at All Times.
Spaniards have some rules Of etiquette
that would prove surprising to the av-
erage easy going American. Take, for
instance, the rules governing visits.
When the first call is made by lady,
she is expected TO arrive in carriage,
that being considerelf mark of high re-
spect. Should the person called upon be
absent from home, the visitor is expected
to leave her card with one end turned
over, and in one conner is to be written
tho initials T. p, meaning en- persona,
or in person. Upon ringing the bell the
visitor is usually greeted by an unseen
person with the words, "Quien esq" or
Who's there?" to which should be re-
piled "Gente de paz," or persons OF
peace. Entering, the visitor is conduct
ed to the best room in the house, led up
to sofa and placed to the right of the
hostess On rising to take leave the
proper form is to exclaim. in the case
of lady, "Senora, l place myself at
your feet" She will answer in sim
ilarly figuIative way by saying: Il kiss
your hand. May you depart with God
and continue wellw Feminine visitors
are saluted with kiss, both upon their
arrival and departure. 1t is considered
an objectionable breach OF good man
ners for gentleman to offer to shake
| hands with Spanish lady. Another
decidedly Objectionable proceeding, in
Spanish eyes, is to offer q lady ones
arm when walking with her. Should
Spanish gentleman so far forget himself
as to offer his arm to his wife, he would
be looked upon as lamentably ignorant
Of the laws of etiquette governing good
society in the land of his birth.
Another noticeable custom is that
when walking with Spaniard in
Spain it is considered the height OF Ill
manners to walk ON the inside. This il
the place Of honor and should always
be given to the native. When wei
bred Spaniard meets a lady ON thu
street, he always passes to the outside
thus making way for her, but with mel
this rule is not observed. Whoever ha
the wall on his right hand in the mar
row streets is entitled to keep it.
These are some Of the most noted pc
culiarities of the rigorous rules govern
ing Spaniards of polite breeding. The.
are punctilious almost to the point
absurdity in most things, but their pc
likeness is of "a kind that wears WELL

DIR. W. P. Scott received Saturday the
news OF the sudden death OF his father,
Rev. John Z. Scott, at Montice Ito, N. Y.
He left on the afternoon train. The de-
ceased was one OF the prominent Presby-
terrain divines OF the country. In 1891,
AZ moderator of the General Assembly
meeting at Cincinnati, he acted as Judge
in the trial OF Rev. Preserved Smith.
This trial was second in prominence
only to the famous Briggs trial and in
the latter the Rev. Mr.. Scott was q Juror.
For his impartialty in the Smith trial
he was commended by both sides which
is perhaps rarer thing to an ecclesiatti-
cal Judge than to one OF the kind we ART
more familiar with who deal with the
laws OF the country and interpret them.
From the wise conduct OF the trial by
the now deceased divine no bitterness re-
suited, also perhaps rare thing in &C.
clesiastical trials.
The Rey. John p. Scott, ID. ID, was g.
years old at the date OF his death. Et
was mason and Knight Templar. III
leaves three sons, two residents of De
troit, the third, DR.. Scott, OF Houghton
Only last summer Mrs. Scott was called
to rest. The remains will be brought tt
Detroit, the old home OF the family, To-
burial.
