How Jim Poverty Made Great Ht8 Il
an Election.


an Election.
"Ready wit can get man ont of al
most any kind of hole,'' said the Wis
iting westerner to some of the boys at
the club.
"Jim Poverty was a strapping young
lawyer when l first went to Breakup
county. He was jovial, big hearted, al
ways ready with a joke and very liable
to turn the tables on any one who
tackled him along this line. We knew
that he was not specially scrupulous,
but despite his shortcomings he was a
favorite One fall he secured the nom
ination for prosecuting attorney, and
pitted against him was the only other
lawyer in cur village, a conscientious
man, without any sense of humor and
always in deadly earnest. OF course
they had joint meetings, for westerners
insist upon these political tournaments.
Eat one of these Jim's opponent was
nagged into anger and wound up his
speech by saying that he might :4ot be
as brilliant as the opposing candidate,
but he was honest with his clients and
had never taken fee on both sides of a
case as MI. Poverty had done.
sit was expected that a charge so
grave would call down a storm of def
ant abuse, but Jim came up smiling and
told a funny story just to relieve the
tension of the crowd. Then he said:
Fellow citizens, agree in condemning
this practice of taking a fee from both
parties to lawsuit. Something should
be done. / have often wished that /
was not the only lawyer in our town,
but as long as l am no man shall apply
for my legal assistance in vain Here
the other candidate shouted that he was
in the same town, but this only added
to the fun, and the incidei as it few

Painr.ng the Emperor's Portrait,
Not long ago the German emperor
wished to have his portrait painted by
an English painter, and certain we'll
known artist was recommended to him.
The artist received and accepted the
imperial commission, arrived at Berlin
and made the acquaintance of the kai-
ser. The artist prepared for the first
sitting with some considerable dread.
He was conducted to very large room
In the palace, scantily furnished in
eheerIess splendor, where the kaiser
awaited him.
"You don't like this room:'' said the
kaiser before many minutes had elapsed.
"What sort of room would you Hke?'
"Oh, said the artist, a small room,
coy and comfortably furnished. ="
81 thought So said the kaiser. 81
didn't choose this room. - They then III
spected rooms together till the artist
was satisfied. Then the sitting began
again.
Now" said the kaiser a few min
utes later, "you don't paint like that
at home. You are not comfortable. How
do you like painting"
"Well, coat off-hat on-pipe," said
the artist tersely.
"Just so," said the kaiser, "that ia
exactly how | should like you to paint.
Now, do make yourself at home and
comfortable, and we will talk about
England. To-day.

Consul describes the recent massacre Of
Christians by the Mussulmans as being accom-
panied by CHASTITY scenes.
The mob burst into the British Consulate.
where British Vice-Consul Calocherino and
q Christians had taken refuge,
Once inside the building. tho mob compelled
the Vicc-Consul to deliver up the money in his
possession, which amounted to about 1000
napoloons. and then slit his throat and set FIRE
to the promises.
The Turkish guard that had been posted to
protect the consulate fired on the Christians.
The lootlng. however, was not confined to the
houses OF Christians. Much Turkish property
was either plundered or DESTROYED.
The foreign Admiral have sent an Identical
telegram to their respective Governments de-
claring that the situation is very grave.
The Christians are assembling to march on
Gambia, and a conflict is imminent. The Mo-
hammedana at Retimo and Canea have as
sumed q threatening attitude.
Each Admiral has asked for another battalion
Of troops. Rear Admiral Noel. the British
commander, has aiken charge. He landed
this afternoon with NJ. Biliotti. che British Con-
sui. and inspected the town.
The aspect OF the own is horrible. Every
where there were ruins. some OF which were
still smoulderlnR. Aiew Moslems watched tho
progress Of the Admiral in apparent awe. Not
q voice was raised.
The plucky telegraph staff Ia guarded by OF
toman troops. The international troops are in
their own camp. which is strongly barricaded
and has guns mounted. but It Ia incapable Of
making a defence against q strong attack with
out support from the warships.
The Porte has ordered the formation OF a
commission OF beys to estimate the damage.
Many OF these suffered heavy losses.
They admit that the conduct OF the Bashi
Bazouks and Turkish troops was indefensible.
The mob. however. were desperate. owing to
its disappointment at the delay OF the settle
ment Of the Cretan question. and the priva-
tions, losses and confinement in the towns.
At the time the recent war between Turkey
and Greece began. Crete had q Christian Gov
ernor. but he was utterly powerless. because
never would the Sultan consent to place the
military commander under his orders; conse-
Q%uently he was able to do nothing more than
offer UNDECIDED advice. The Christians have a
decided numerical preponderance in Crete. and
1t was only the presence Of the Sultan's troops
that made IL possible to carry out o policy Of
oppression against the Christians.
