purse-proud of all Germany. On mar
ket days, when the peasants flock to
the big square at Altenburg or, Ron
neburg, it is sight to watch them.
They came driving four-in-hands, or
comfortable-looking coaches, drawn by
horses that show coats shining as silk.
They sell their wheat and rye, their fat
ted oxen and calves, their pigs and their
wool at prices over which they never
allow any haggling. Then, business
concluded they repair to the beer
houses and old-fashioned taverns close
by, carrying their bagfuls of gold and
sllver-they never take paper-witll
them. And then you 1nny see the an
Gent Slavic vice, if gambling is in

not be overtopped eve-i by the most ex-

proverbial all through Germany for
that. Often, very often, they play for
such high stakes that not alone the
proceeds OF. the crop just sold are lost
at protracted sitting, but thousands

it is true that many of the Altenbnrg

this part wear a costume which is very

How He Escaped,

A young man was tried for murder,
having killed a member of rival fac
ton in a faction fight. The judge, re-
luctant to sentence him to death on &C
count of his youth, turned to him and
said: lis there anyone in court who
could speak as to your character?" The
youth looked round the court and then
said, sadly: "There is no man here,
my lord, that 1 know" At that my
grandfather CHANGED to walk into the
grand jury gallery. He saw at once how
matters stood. He called out: "Yoa
are queer boy that don't know a friend
when you see one!" The boy was
quick-witted; he answered: ooh, then,
it is myself that is proud to see your
honor here this day!" WELL" said the
judge, ''Sir We're, since you know that
boy, will you tell us what you know of
him?" Il will, my lord" said my grand
father, land what can tell you is this
that from the very first day that ever
I saw, him to this minute I never knew
anything of him that was not good"
The old tenant ended his tale by srrik-
ing his hands together and exclaiming:
"And he never to have clapped his eye
on the boy till that minute!" The boy
escaped being hanged. - Aubrey he
