In the yard of meson in that street two men were engaged in rubbing down horse with turpen- tine .or rather one was rubbing him down while the other held candle, as it waStoward night. The applica- tion of the turpentine presumably caused the horse pain, for suddenly it rose on It's hind legs and the sudden movement upset the can of turpen- tine with which the horses back aud Hanks were prOfuSely bathed. At the same time he candle, being held too near. set fire tv the turpentine and the horse enyeloped in flames, bolted into the street maddened with pain and taking longer bounces at each moment. It was with difficulty caught Many people ran away, thinking that the horse was a portent or the devil.

WEEDS.

We call them weeds, the while, with slen-
der fingers.
Earth's wounds and scars they seek to
cover Ger;
On sterile sands, where scarce the raindrop
fingers,
They grow and blossom by the briny
shore.
We call them weeds, GiJ we their form but
study.
We man, 4 secret might unfolded ind
Each Tiny plant fUiaIls its heaven taught
msSioa
and bears The imprint of immortal mind.
We call them weeds; the while their uses
Might work nations veal, nations
woe;
Send thro' each wasted frame the balm of
And cause the blood with youths quick
pulse TO flow.
Weeds-yet they hold IN bonds the mighty
ocean;
Their slender tire Ids bind firm the sandy
shore
Navies may sink amid its wild connection;
These humble weeds never their work
give Ger.
And who shall say the feeblest thought
ayails not
To bind the shifting sands upon life's
beach?
Some heart may treasure what we've long
forgot.
The faintest word some soul with power
may reach.

KNOCKS OUT STATUTE.
Judge Vinje on Legal Publications
and Sunday Labor
Laws,

West Superior. Wis, Aug. 17.-[Spe-
cial. THE decision of Circuit Judge
Vinje handed down a couple Of days
ago ii the case involving the validity Of
the Superior Morning Leader as a legal
publication, is broader than is generally
supposed. The court, in holding that
the Leader is legally entitled to bid upon
public work, such as the publication Of
delinquent tax list, holds further that
chapter 319 of the laws of 1899 is uncon-
stitutional. This law provided that 4
newspaper must publish seven days in
the week in order to make bids for legal
publications and to have its legal publica-
tons valid. There was a slight am
biguity about the law, so test case
was brought. involving the legal publica-
ton of the Evening Telegram of this
city. Judge Vinje decided that the law
did not relate to evening newspapers and
that a siX-day evening newspaper is en-
tirely valid. The Evening Telegram
case is now appealed to the Supreme
court for Il ruling of that body. In the
case involving the right of the Leader to
publish legal proceedings, the court goes
farther and cites that the chapter $40
cannot be construed to conflict with the
state laws requiring no Sunday work
and to make it necessary for the morning
newspapers to publish on Monday would
be to require la Dor upon the Sabbath.

Japan is Not a Country of Flowers.

In spite Of the fact that flowers are so
inseparably associated with everything
japanese, it would be a mistake to as
sumo that Japan is land of flowers; for
wild as we'll as garden flowers are far
more profuse in many sections Of this
country Japan is, however, rich in Gull
tivated flowers that are grown in great
profusion in garden and nursery in the
suburbs of all the cities.
Flower sellers, carrying their fragrant
burdens in huge baskets, are met with
everywhere, and they are patronized by
the poor as we'll as by the rich, for the
prices are low enough to bring them
within the reach Of all. Although there
are many varieties of flowers, few, COM
paratively, are used in flower arrange
ment; for the japanese limit their choice
to those with which they are most famil-
lar, and such as are most closely asso-
ciated with the different months or sea-
sons, seldom or never using rare or I'M
known f1owers.-From Japanese Flower
Arrangement" by Theodore Wores in

Judge Griswold's Family Thrown
Out Of a Carriage.
II MAY BE SERIOUS.
In Descending a Hill u Part OF the
Harness Broke and the Team
Ran away.

Waukesha, Wis, Aug. 17.-[Special.1
Judge N. S. Griswold and family were
the victims of a runaway accident yes
terday afternoon. They were driving III
double carriage and in descending the
hill on North street some portion Of the
harness gave way and the team ran
away. Mrs. Griswold and her mother,
Mrs. Weed, and Mr.. and Mrs Girls
wold's son were in the carriage with the
judge when the accident occurred. Mrs.
GrlsWold was thrown out and the car
riage tipped over and rolled down the en-
bankment about five feet with the others.
Judge Griswold and his son escaped with
few slight bruises, but the ladies were
not SO fortunate. Mrs. Griswold was
severely bruised about the head and face
and fears are entertained that she sus-
tanned internal injuries. Mrs. Weed was
also quite severely injured, but not SO
badly as Mrs. GriswOld. Drs. Philler,
Malone and Jacob were called, ard, with
the aid of several who saw the accident,
the ladies were taken home and medical
assistance given them.
Mrs. Griswold rested comfortably last
night and it is expected that she will
recover slowly.

The organ grinder realized the danger
and probable loss of life. One moment
be hesitated; life was sweet even to
him. Then he saw the young patrician,
with Margretta's big brown eyes, cling
ing in terror to the velvet cushions, and
with one spring he Ieaped across the
street. His hands were rough and
strong. anu. clutchng the brides, he held
the beasts Under contro! while the en-
CINE rushed by. But not before the rear
brute, mad with fright, made wild
plunge toward his captor and the organ
grinder fell to the ground in Hmpless
heap.
Tenderly the group of excited servants
lifted his poor. bruised body from the
ground and carried him up the stone
steps and through the richly-furnished
hallway, the same that the lady had
traversed 4 few minutes before. A smile
crossed his face once, as II he understood
the incongruity between himself and his
surroundings. and then. noticing the tear
full, dark-haired maiden bending over
him. he murmnred:

for this locality and proposed to the foot
man that they should call there and find

One of the maids remembered that she
had seen him sitting on the curDst0ne
quite a while before the accident hap
pened, and that he had a hand organ
with him So they brought over this
silent friend and companion of many
years. and laid it beside the dead man,
his comrade in death.
The news spread rapidly through the
tenement on Rue street aud number of
dark-faced Italians stood around the
door. excitedly conversing in the mother
tongue They said his name was Manuel
Cassie, and that he had come from Italy
about three years ago; as he had always
held aloof from the other dodgers this
was the extent of their knowledge.
The small room on the top story told
no tales about its former occupant. The
rays of the sinking sun fell aslant the
