A Startling Answer,

A Latin professor was explaining the
derivation Of our word "ostracize" to
his class In a local academy. He told
the story Of the early Roman republics
and the scheming Of the politicians of
the times. He related how. when any
man in the republic became obnoxious
to his neighbors, they used to write his
name on an oyster shell Q-atin-ostre-
UNI, she'll, and on the receipt Of a
specified number by the consuls that
man was banished. killed or otherwise
removed in some one Of those pleasant
ways the old Romans had. When he
had finished his explanation, he said:
Nov, the boy here in the front seat
what did we derive from the old Latin
use of the shell, which was called os-
treumW
The answer he expected was far
from what he got, for the little student
with spectacles in the front seat arose
and delivered himself thus:
"From the Roman habit of using
shells to get the best Of people, we de-
rive the present Coney Island shell
game. which is fascinating and cost
ly sport. "-Brooklyn Times.

CUBAN EXTRADITION TREATY.
Reasons why There Should he One
Drawn Up MT Once.

Havana, Aug. THE release from
custody of L. l.. Sloane, recently arrest
ed on his arrival at New York at the re-
quest Of the Havana authorities on a
charge of robbery, ON the ground that
there is no extradition treaty between
the United States and Cuba, has aston
ished the lawyers and judges of Havana
as we'll MS General Ludlow. the military
governor. General Ludlow is rep rted to
have said that as the country is under
military occupation by the United States,
with the American flag flying and Aner-
can governors in charg. under the direct
control of the president and congress, he
cannot understand the action of the mag
istrate by whose order the prisoner was
discharged.
The Sloane case is comparatively I'M
important. hut something may occur in
the future that will prove a serious mat
ter. 1t seems impossible for the United
States to make an extradition treaty
with Cuba.
Don Antonio Gonzales. president of the
supreme court of Cuba, thinks the ques
ton should be settled Immediately, and
Captain William L. Pitcher, president of
the Havana police court, asserts that
there are n number of Adventures In
Havana who are liable to take advantage
of the decision and leave suddenly with
all they are able to lay their hands on.

quirles. But after something extra
diabolical his lordship broke out with,

badly on purpose to annoy me-"
"Oh, shut up!' said the soldier. How
can any fellow play when you keep
jawing at him?" Lord Russell, with
quiet dignity, observed, 81 don't think
you know to whom you are speaking

"Oh, yes, do" said the warrior. "You
are the lord chief Justice, but you're
not in your blooming police court
