The Court,s Comment.

A Georgia Justice of the peace, re-
lates Case and Comment, once took
upon himself to charge jury as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, this is a case which
has been tried by me before, and de-
cided in favor of the defendant" AS
the jury took the hint and found for
the defendant, just as the justice had
done before. although the evidence was
overwhelmingly in favor cf the plain
tiff, the higher court refused to let the
verdict stand. 1t also commented as
follows:
"a justice of the peace is generally
a man of consequence in his neighbor-
hood He writes the wills. draws the
deeds and pulls the teeth of the peo-
pie; also he performs divers surgical
operations on the animals of his neigh
bors The justice has played his part
on the busy stage of life from the time
of Mr. Justice Shallow down to the
time of MI Justice higgins. Who has
not seen the gaping, listening crowd
assembled around his honor, the JUS
t!ce, on tiptoe to catch the words of
wisdom as they fell from his venerated
lips?
'And still they yazed,
And still the wonder grew

Dicks head. but Dick threw it off be-
fore he could pull up the slack.
In an instant Pedro had gathered
up his rope and threw it again and
caught Dick around the head and one
arm. He drove the spurs into his horse
and started across the prairie. but like
a flash Dicks hand went TO his pistol,
and before the Mexican could pull him
from his horse Dick sent Il bullet
through his head. and the Mexican
fell to the ground dead.
"Rut Dick was jerked from his horse
with terrible force. for the Mexican
had made the end of his rope fast to
the saddle horn. The MeXican's horse
ran short distance and then stopped.
and before could get to him one Of
the other Mexicans had ridden up and
emptied his six shooter into Dick $
body He then put spurs to his horse
and soon disappeared across the prai
rie and that WAS the last | ever saw
of him.
The other Mexican told me that
was the third duel of that kind that
Pedro had fought and always got his
man.'-Seattle Post-Iutelligencer.

Unsuccesssul Attempts to Convert
Them In Early Times.
In report to the classis of Amster-
dam on the state of religion in the New
Netherlands il 1867, Rev. Johannes
Megapolensis and Rev. Samuel Drisins
made the following somewhat discour-
aging statement in regard to the eff
forts to convert the Indians. 1t will
be noted that the conclusions arrived
first sentence of the extract were in
the nature of a prediction which has
been completely fulfilled:
"Of the conversion of the heathens,
or Indians, here, we can say but little,
nor do we see any means thereunto
until by the numbers and power of our
nation they are subdued and brought
under some policy and our people show
them better example than they have
hitherto done.
"We have had one Indian here with
us full two years. so that he could read
and write good Dutch We instructed
him in the grounds of religion. He also
answered publicly in the church and
repeated the prayers. We likewise pre-
sented him with n Bible in order to
work through him some good among
the Indians. But it all resulted in moth
ing. He has taken to drinking Of bran
dy. He pawned the Bible and became
q real beast who is doing more harm
than good among the Indians. Al

PRETTY CLEVER HORSE.
Never Tied by lis Master Because 1,
Knew So Much.

Knew So Much.
You see that little horse over there, -
said Major Tom Williams. standing on
the edge of the sidewalk viewing a
small black pony. That horse has
more of the traditional horse sense
than his size would show for" He
continued, Watch him.
The major whistled few times. and
the little horse. which was nibbling
from bale of hay on the sidewalk,
raised his head and crossed the street.
He brought the cart to which he was
attached at standstill just in front of
the major.
that horse has all eye for distance
couldn't have driven him better than
that. That horse, too. is natlYal
scavenger. He will pick up anything
he sees on the street. if he wants to
eat it. never hitch him. when l get
out of the team, and he goes the length
of the block picking up banana peel
ings. eating hay. corn or anything he
takes fancy to. When l want him.
l only need to whistle"
At this point large, white dog
brushed against the major with a
friendly wag of the tail.
You never saw that dog kiss the
pony. did You? Well. watch him.
Major Williams climbed into his cart.
