The late Judge Sheldon, of Rockford,
H., legal uminary and millionaire
was noted chess player, deyoting his
entire evenings for many years TO play
ing at the houses OF his friends, where
the ladies' complained bitterly Of his
devotion to the game, to- their almost
total neglect. One of these, says the
Chicago Times-lierald, was n charm
ing young mother wholhad kpownthe
Judge since her childhood. Her father
was favorite partner of the judge,
and the two spent their evenings to-
gether in the home library playing
chess in the silence which the game in
wolves. and, as unsociable and taciturn
as they were, the young woman intrud-
ed upon them, determined that the
Judge should see and admire her
beautiful baby.

holding him forward for her fathers
bachelor friend TO admire.
Absolute silence.
"Now, dear Judge Sheldon, do just
look at my sweet boy. Why, he is a
perfect little angel"
The Judge never lifted his head.
'I think the precious looks just like
papa, don't you?"
This appeal moved him. lie hfted hi

How He Worked "A Chattanooga Mer-
chnnt ON GlnsenE.

The Chinese may be very shrewd
people and adopts at doing up and
buncoing the average "Melican manY
when it comes TO three-card monte or
poker. but they are not in it wiuh the
East Tennessee mountaineer from up
in the land Of "lIouks and PENSIONS"
SAYS the Chattanooga Times.
Several days ago Mr.. II. Goodman, The
hide and leather dealers purchased a
large quantity of ginseng from Oneida,
Tenn. which place is in the mountains
above Hartman. Mr.. Goodman paid q
good stiff price for the drug, which
cures all the ills that Celestial flesh is
heir TO. and brought the same to his
store in this city.
For dried ginseng Mr.. Goodman
thought this stuff was unusually heavy,
but paid no more attention to it until
he went to empty it from one box to
another. AS he did so he discovered
quite a large amount Of bird shot in
the bottom of the box. He could not
account for the presence OF The shot,
and began examining the ginseng, with
the result that he found the greater
number Of roots stuffed with shot.
Ginseng is purchased from the "sang
digger" by the pound, and the roots
were cut into when green and stuffed
/ full Of shot. A further examination re-
vealed the fact that there was a large
number of bogus roots in the ginseng,
which Mr.. Goodman's employees spent
some time in sorting out.
This is a new way Of dosing China
men with American lead. The Celes.
tials were filled with American lead dur.
ing the California and Colorado riots
and during the japanese war, but this
is the first case on record where an
attempt was made to fill them with
American lead through and in their
favorite drug.
