The Prisoner Wa. Satisfied,

II remember the time." said Maine
attorney, "in the days when Colonel
Littlefeld was sheriff, that Judge Wal
ton was presiding, and the jury were
out on rum case.
''They had been out a long time, and
Judge Walton was rather nervous and
wanted verdict. To his clear and far
seeing mind, the most remarkable In
many ways that ever held jurisdiction
in New England, there was no excuse
for any prolonged consideration Of the
case by any jury.
"Leaning back, seemingly lost in
thought, he suddenly sat bolt upright
and beckoned to Colonel Littlefeld, and
the sheriff walked up in that quiet way
Of bis.
Colonel said Judge Walton, 'Mr.
Sheriff, should say, see If that re-
spondent won't plead guilty, provided
his fine is put at $50.' E" =
"Colonel Littlefield smiled and went
over and talked with the prisoner. It
took but few minutes, and in less
time than it could be told he had re-
traoted his plea, pleaded guilty, and had
been fined.
Then the court sent out for the jury.
"Gentlemen, said be, 1T seems that
some Of you are not yet satisfied in
your minds that the prisoner is guilty2''
1T is true, may it please the court,
said the foreman.

fined. You are excused from further

ity, as we'll as the air Of wearing it with
all the appearance of never having con-
sidered the effect at all. The modern
tea gown has become less and less q
loose garment, until now the most elab-
crate editions Of this style Of dress are
more like fancy princess dress than
anything else. However, the loose front
and vatican back is still q popular
style, and in this, as in every other
branch of fashion, variety is the rule,
says the New York Sun, authority for
the following:
Soft, clinging materials are the most
satisfactory for this costume, and jap
anese silk is very fashionable this sea-
son. Whether this is in some plain col
or or figured it is charming made up
in this sort Of gown, with plenty Of
cream lace for trimming and the usual
ribbon belt and bows. It is also used
for tea Jackets in pale blue, pink and
cream white, made simply with feath-
er stitched hens or lavishly trimmed
with lace, but altogether charming for
morning wear at home. Batiste and Or
candle in all the pale colors, liberty
silks, cashmeres and crepe de chine, are
all employed for the up to date tea
gown, and the latter is especially pref
ty made up over thin silk in some color
strong enough to show a tint through
the meshes. Organdies lined with col
ored batiste are very pretty, but they
are as often made without any lining
and elaborately trimmed with lace in
sertion and frills.
White embroidered muslin with
flounces and insertions of valenciennes
lace is the material of a teagown illus
trated by the authority quoted, and
black and white striped ribbon with a
cerise edge is the finish. valenciennes
lace is used on the cashmere gowns,
and a pretty effect is made by sewing
narrow black velvet ribbon on the wide
lace for a finish around the collar or
vandyke yoke Striped silks, which can
be found oftentimes on the bargain
counter at low price, make exceeding
ly pretty teagowns, and even grenadines
are employed for this purpose.
Pretty fronts for cashmere or silk
gowns are made of white silk muslin
crossed the whole length with cream
lace insertion, and pretty effect is
made by pulling in wide lace or lace
trimmed frill Of the muslin ON either

oolors In Literature.

Havelock Ellis has spent some years
in tabulating the references to colors in
literature. Yellow is rarely mentioned
in the Bible and blue not at all. Blue
is not mentioned in Homer, red rarely,
but he mentions yellow 81 times in 100.
Since the Christian era red and yellow
are mentioned most frequently, but blue
is referred to twice as often since the
sixteenth century as before. Poe men
tions yellow twice as often and blue
about one-quarter as often as any Of his
contemporaries in the list. That the color
sense is late development is shown by
the fact that the natives of South Africa
can distinguish only white and black
(Which are not colors at ally and red.
Blue they call black and yellow red.
Green they cannot distinguish at all,
confusing it with yellow and red both.

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
The People In the Lower rlat-A Story
Old and NewIThs Prisoner
Wae oatisAed.

A Chicago novelist who lives in q
South Side nat building has recently
been pressed very hard By his publiah-
ers, who have been clamoring fm the
concluding chapters Of q story whose
publication has been advertised for sev-
eral months and II still matter Of the
future.
A short time ago the author sent his
wife and children. into the country for q
week or two, in order to secure absolute
quiet and chance to work undisturbed.
The first night he was alone he settled
down to write with will, fully intend
ing to improve his opportunity to the
utmost.
Suddenly the roomers in the fiat be-
low his began q terrible racket. They
pounded and thumped and ratified, and
it was quite evident that they were
packing up their household goods pre-.
paratory to removing. The novelist
stood their din as long az he could in
silence. but at last, when forbearance
had ceased to be virtue, he went into
the hallway and acoosted a man who
was carrying an armful Of things out Of
the lower fiat.
"Hellol" called the author over the
banister. ''Say, what in thunder are
you trying to do down there, anyway"
''Don't worry" replied the fellow on
the landing below. "We're doing the
best we can."
"What do you think this house is-a
boiler shop?" inquired the angry novel;
list. "You are interfering with my
work.
"Well. ain't you interfering with
ours9'
"This is no joke. I tell you. can't
do my work properly 90 long AZ you act
like this"
Eve can't do our work properly
either" answered the mover, with q
laugh, "unless you go back into your
room now and leave us alone.''
The novelist retired into his fiat,
closed the door and began to write. A
half hour later he was suddenly aroused
by the loud changing Of police patrol
wagons bell. A wagon load Of blue
coats stopped in front of the building.
The fiat below had been stripped clean
by burglars during the temporary alb
sence Of the family at the theater.-

Berlin Cafes,

Up 1870 there was not single cafe
worthy the name in Berlin. Now the
cafes in Berlin, writes Wolf Won Schier-
brand, far outvie those of Vienna and
rival those Of Paris. One which was
started recently in Friedriohstrasse, the
Kaiser cafe, swallowed up over 1,000,-
900 marks in its equipment, and yet it
is regular gold mine. The Office Of
head waiter in any one Of them is worth
more than the Office of imperial chan
cellor. One of the recent head walters
Of the Cafe Bauer has just leased the
Linden cafe at an annual rental Of TO-
600 marks. Nearly all of them are open
day and night. Coffee is the principal
dish, but imported beers, ices, liquors,
etc., may also be had, and from 50 to
200 newspapers and periodicals are ON

A FICKLE MnNARcH


 The f1ckleness of monarchs Is prover- bial, and is we'll illustrated by the movements of the King of Siam in Scotland As originally arranged, the visit was to last week, Edinburgh and Glasgow sharing alike in the honor of the kingly presence. First, the Glasgow visit was deferred, and then absolutely abandoned while the visit to the Scottish capital was restricted to a couple of days. Glasgow is feel ing nightly sore over thus curt treat ment, but even some of the kings Edin- burgh entertainers have reason for some heartburning
 The royal programme on Wednesday included visit to Edinburgh Castle. which contains the jeweled regalia worn by the kings and queens of Scot land. When the party drove up to the castle gates the king changed his mind evidently presuming the treasure to be an insignificant article alongside some of his own costly jewels at home. At the Forth Bridge the resident engineer was about to give an explanation of the principle of contraction and expan- sion of the bridge, when the king in- terrupted him with the remark. tIt's too wet" and re-entered the train.- Westminster Gazette, August 13.
