WASHINGTON juno 1s.-An Iowa judge was
telling stories in n hotel lobby, and he related
an amusing incident that had occurred in his
court when a colored man was brought up for
some petty offence. The charge was read, and
as the statement THE State OF Iowa against
John Jones" was made in loud voice, the
coored mans eyes bulged nearly out of their
sockets. and he seemed perfectly overcome with
terror and astonishment When he was asked
IL he had anything to say. or pleaded guilty or
not guilty, he gasped out:
"well, yo' honah. Of de whole State O. Iowa
Is agin this ono pore Niger. Ise gwine to give
up right now!'
Not once out of hundred times can an old
colored man tell you his age, and even If ho
knew he would be more than apt to make him
self out much older than he really Is. After
middle life, they all seem TO feel that it adds
dignity and very much increases their merits
and value to be considered extremely old. Tho
absurdity as to statements of length of years
lived never strikes them In II Southern family
which always spends its winters IN washington
lives an old man named Jef. who has been with
them and the previous generation for more
years than they can remember. He is certainly
pretty old himself so his mistress was ather
surprised this winter when he asked to have n
few days off to go. rs he PIT it. up to de ole
State OF New Haven, TO see his aunt.
"Why, JefY." said the lady. your aunt must
be very old, isn't shei'

he shook his half empty beer glass into foam
preparatory to drinking 1t. 1T was about 3
o'clock. That was the night the Italian hot
corn vender sold us his entire stock for thirty
Ave cents under the mistaken impression that
there were only seven ears in the boiler. In
reality there were about forty-seven, and we
regaled all the trolley men at the ferry, much to
their surprise and satisfaction. Then we trav-
elled along a side street that l couldn't
find now. and ran across a bakery in
full working operation. The smell of the baking
bread reused the pangs OF hunger again and
we went down the steps into the cellar where
the men were working. They glanced up at us
as we came in without the slightest surprise on
their hOury faces and kept on working. One
man, however, who seemed to be the proprietor.
came somewhere from the background of Chlrp-
ing Crickets and asked us what we wished. We
didn't quite know and told him so. after "A

or something upstairs In the store that would

II Clustered Around the Family Rine After Her

The Samoan will give away anything which
he possesses when another member of his family

sonal property most fluctuating matter. One
thing, however. 10 never given away under any
circumstances. and that is the rifle which each
man keeps in good order and in readiness for
the outbreak of hostilities. No attempt has
been made by the European officials to disarm
the natives. but n close watch is kept on the inn
portation of any new munitions OF war. When
tho yacht John Williams of the London Mission
nry Society returned from tour of the stations
in New Guinea. which are served by Samoan
pastors, 1t brought the sad news that Neemia,
respected native missionary in a remote nook Of
the Gulf Of Papua, had been eaten by his imper-
fectly converted congregation. The mission
vessel arrived too late to save the pastor, but
just just in time to rescue his wife Masina, who
was defending her house with "A single rifle
against a horde of savaEes. Masina was brought
back TO Apia in the John Williams. her grief
somewhat tempered by the knowledge that for
some time to come she would be a central figure
at oil district meetings of the mission, where she
would be expected to tell her story. In a few
days the treaty officials received from King
the royal sign manual and duly sealed with the
| great seal. In 1t he recited the eannibalism
which had been practiced upon Neemia and tho
bravery OF Masina. In consideration Of these
| sad events and the great grief into which the
| widow was plunged. he had given her pcrmis:
| sion to retain the family rifle aud her store OF
| ammunition and to bring it ashore with her.
| The mischief had been done and was beyond re-

do was sharply 10 remind the King that he had

MAxUrAorUREs AND COLONIES.

There has recently appeared under authority

ernments of Europe-Great Britain, France,
Holland, and Portugal-have colonies larger in
respect to population than the home country,

Germany and Denmark. havo colonies larger
in territorial area than tho home coun-
