o oso o J. w.

Some dispute had arisen between two prominent citi- zens of that metropolis over horse trade and, as neither of them happened to be armed at the time of the quarrel. the matter was taken into court instead of being settled in the manner that such occurrences are generally wound up, III the State of sage brush and six-Shooters. As one of the principal points in the case hinged on the value of the animal an expert was called in to give his opin- ion on the subject. When he took the stand he proved to be a long slab-Sfded fellow. half cow-puncher and half Yankee farmer, with a great idea of his own inn portance and so circumSpect in what ne said that it would have been impossible to have made him give answer as to the color of a white mule without some res ervation of his own. The attorney for the defense had been at him for nearly half an hour without getting any satisfactory answer, when the Judge decided to take a hand himself. You saw the horse, did ! . think I did, answered the expert. Think" echoed the Judge. Don't you know you saw him?" "Waal, I were a gazing at i'm fer nigh onto haf hour" Well, will you now tell this court what you think he should be valued at?' You see, Jedge, it air like this. There is hosses an hosses, some is good an most is no good, an tn value of a animal de- pens considerable on how bad feller needs him. I knew a feller once who had a hoss that I took ter be a mighty likely lookin' critter. He brought him down to tn races an when he got back he wanted to pay some one ter take him offen his hans; then, CT speaking on tn other side of tn question, my boy [ hum read ter me tn other night of feller called Richard who was CT King an who wanted a hoss so ali< fired bad that he were willin' ter give up tn whole uve his ranch ter git one" Gentlemen, think

The question whether an oyster is IL

Richmond. The committees have bcel
appointed to settle the ancient bounG-
ary dispute between the two states IT.

FISH in the waters Of the other state.
The point has been raised that the COM
pact of 1885 giving the people Of each
state equal rights in fishing" does not
embrace the right Of taking crabs and
oysters.
This raises the question Of wbethc~
the oyster is fish and!on this the bio
Logan of the Johns Hopkins uniyersit..'
says whatever the oyster may be lcga"i
or religiously, zoologically he certainly
;sn't fish.
On the other hand Cardinal Gibbons
rays the church has always regarded
fish, oysters and crabs as belonging to
the same genus, while legal authorities
refer to the supreme court decisions
which indicate that the courts also re-
gard the oyster rs fish.

which Is used by the city on its streets
and IN its numerous shops and machine
plants. Uncle" Hiram used to do this
work and attend to callers at the same
time. for an assistant had carefully
gone over each contract before it was
handed to the chief. and there was no
need of careful inspection by him. Mr..
Jones was also treasurer of the Church
CT the Epiphany. and the church busi-
ness he transacted at the office of COM
missioner of public works.
One day an exceedingly large number
OF contracts. requiring the signature of
Inc commissioner and the seal of the de-
partment. were placed on his desk.
AT night when the batch of several
hundred city documents was turned
over TO the assistant commissioner If
was found that each bore beautiful
