Justice is Not Always Blind.

Squire Henry Grelle, OF Beltzhoov-
er, Pa, does not like lawyers, He
believes that they stir up too much
trouble by dragging musty old books
into his Office and insisting that he
follow the precedents they dig from
them. He has the full approval OF
his constituents His justice is the
sort that is equitable between man
and man, and not that misnamed stuff
that depends on the technicaIities OF
law books for standard.
One of Squire Grelle's early cases
was brought against friend Of his,
who was accused of cruelty to animals.
The man had been bothered by avic-
ious dog, and he shot at it. The bull
let cut piece off its tail, but did no
other harm. The trial attracted "A
large crowd. There was conflicting
evidence as to the dog. Some of the
witnesses said it was a gentle animal
and others declared that it ought to
be killed.
81 will reserf my decision until next
weeg, said the squire, after he had
heard the testimony.
He was not satisfied as to the dog,
and, while he had the case under con-
sideration, he made some inquiries IN
the neighborhood He learned that
the dog was bad. But the manning
of it by depriving it of part OF its tail
was undoubtedly a cruel act, and he
did not see how he could get over that,
even to favor his friend.
When the day came for him to give
his decision, it was evident to the
crowd that had gathered in his office
that he had made up his mind. He
called the defendant up.
"You admit shooting this dog" be
asked.
"Yes, do, squire, but the dog is"
dot will do; sid down" And he
called the owner of the dog forward.
"Your dog is bad dog" he said to
him.
"No, he isn't, squire, " said the man.
"he's as gentle as"
"Dot will do. Sid down. | haf
my mind made up. ! fine de defend
ant one dollar and costs for shooting
dot dog"
There was applause from the side
of the room on which the friends Of
the dog were gathered.
"Order Orderl" commanded the
squire. 81 haf not vinished. l will
fine de defendant one dollar and costs
for shooting dot dog, but | will gif
him one more shot at de dog.

ENDING UP FLOOR BOARDS.

It is a common thing TO see men pass

1t takes muscle TO lift the boards By

little variation in the method en-
ployed was observed in this city by
which the nan on tie ground managed

One OF the Many Touching Stories OF
Soldier Life In the Late

Among the many touching stories
arising from the late war, the hs.owing
is old by the New York Commercial
Advertiser:
A man Of the Thirty-third Michigan

over his shoulder he carried two guns.

smoking a cigar. and kept up a con-
start stream of bantering remarks in q
reckless way.

where did you get the extra gun?'
"It's a dead mans gun. 1t belonged

Paris publishes a new newspapers Mt

of the city of Paris at the last nsu

Gently published Presse Annuaire for
1899. the newspapers of the city now
number ASST.
There are in Paris at present 40 daily
political newspapers. but how many
there win be next week or how many
the week after is practically impos-
sible to state. If public occasion de-
manded there might be another dozen.
OF the political organs in existence 81
come under the category Of republic
an, 80 are conservative and 1S are So
cia.ist.
The maintenance of SO many social
isl newspapers in n city is strongly
indicative Of extent TO which French
papers take up and consider politics.
The price Of French newspapers is
high. and the reading matter is small
in amount. French newspaper read
ers DO not require much news. and are
perfectly satisfied to depend upon the
post office as an ordinary channel of
communication whenever the telegraph
fails.

it. While his wife was gathering

found a big chicken snake c0iled in
a hens nest. She dispatched the
reptile, and cutting it in two with
hoe, found the pad lock inside the
snake Mr. Moore says he has kill

them open, found live frogs in them
