and, though there was no doubt Of the guilt
of the defendant, he had a regiment OF
friends who swore he was forty miles way
when the horse was stolen. This evidence
the prosecution was unable to break down,
and the young lawyer pfumed himself on a
certain acquittal. The jury retired, and five
minutes later came back into court.

Before a judge "out west" a fat, short,
lazy, innocent-lcoking fellow named Dolph,
sometimes given to whisky and cards, stood
indicted for gambling. His bond for appear
ance on the first day of court had been for
feited, but in consideration of the fact that
he was a regular customer the forfeiture was
set aside on payment of costs. The Judge
then asked, who is your lawyer" Dolph
said he had none. We'll" said the Judge,

quizzingly at the judge and said, II don't
want no lawyer, jedge. Jist you and me will
try the case" 1t turned out that the prose-
cutor's witnesses had defective memories and
he could not prove his case, whereupon he
tried to put Dolph himself on the stand In
defiance of his constitutional rights against
eliminating himself, but the judge said,

that he gambled," said the prosecutor. "Oh,
no." said the judge, that won't do. Dolph
and me can't stand that" Dolph was dis
charged for lack of evidence, but the court
warned him that it wouldn't generally be
safe to rely on the court to defend him.

Walls PlaStered
with Coins

Miss Daisy Dentz of Dentzville. N. J., a
suburb of Trenton, has probably the largest
collection OF coins in New Jersey. Some of
them are many hundred years old and they
represent the currencies Of nearly every
country In the world. Some idea of the size
OF the collection may be gathered from the
fact that the ceiling of Miss Dentz's boudoir
rs completely covered with United States
money, While the four walls are hidden be-
mind the coins of Asiatic, European, African
and South American countries. There is
considerable history attached to this collec-
ton, especially to the English coins, which
were found near Princeton in a queer-shaped
hat by one of Miss Dentz's relatives while
In search of minerals. The hat is similar In
shape TO these worn by the Hessian soldiers
during the revolution and is still in Miss
Dentz's possession. There are many valuable
coins in her collection and were she to con-
vert them all into present American cur
rency they would yield quite a snug sum

Creighton NJ. Foraker, the Ohio senator's
brother, went out to New Mexico in the
early eighties for his hearth. He recovered
his health, speedily became popular and
prosperous, and two years ago was appointed
United States marshal. Since then he
has won a great reputation for successfully
running down thieves, especially train rob-
bers. Foraker is a dead shot with either

The series OF pictures of Nebraska's fight
ing regiment printed in The illustrated Bee
are everywhere receiving merited praise, both
for their historical value and superior print
ing. OF one Of them the York Republican
tells this story: THE picture of the First
Nebraska regiment entering Manila beneath
the sea wall, which appeared in The Illus
trated Bee two weeks ago, is an exact coun-
terpart of the picture which appeared on
the outside of the programs of the minstrel
entertainment given by members of the regi-
ment in Manila. 1t was taken by a little
Englishman who stood ON the top of the
wall amid a storm of Mauser bullets, and
G. w. Bemis says he got down and rested
the instrument on his knee and arranged the
focus as carefully as he could have done
had he been getting a snap shot of his best
girl at a picnic. The camera just caught the
tail end of Company A., and the snap was
taken Just as Bemis shouted Let 'er go!

The return of the volunteers will be the
all absorbing event OF the coming week
The closing scenes in the regimental camp
at San Francisco and the start OF the home
ward journey on the train have been
watched with peculiar interest by the
friends and relatives Of the men who are

When the First Nebraska was mustered

ganization as a part OF the state militia and
when 1t was mustered out last Wednesday
its members ceased to have any militia

vate citizens, but so distinguished by
their military record that they come home
as guests Of the state. The fact that they
come as the guests Of the state, however,
was determined only at the last moment
when the effort to raise the guarantee
fund necessary to provide a special train
was suddenly made successful after the gov
ernor had issued a statement to the public
giving up all hope Of raising the money.
The chief credit for the successful rails

New Stories About
Cecil Rhodes

Here is an instance of how Cecil Rhodes
makes enemies. A young Englishman
named Pierce until recently held a good
position with the British South African
Chartered company, and was being rapidly
advanced by Rhodes, who held him in high
favo;. Coming out from England, where he
had taken a brief vacation. Pierce fell in
love with the daughter of a major in the
Scots Guards, and before he reached Bula-
wayo again had married the young woman.
With funds exhausted but spirits exuberant
Pierce rushed to the eX-Dremier to be con-
graduated. Rhodes received him coldly, re-
fused to employ him or even to advance
him enough money to get out of town.
Whether or not the arbiter of South Africa
has had an unpleasant love romance no one
seems to know. but he certainly does not
care for women and dislikes to employ
married men.
Persons either like Rhodes immensely or
detest him. AT Kimberly he is most popu-
lar. He became so by refunding to several
hundred miners the money which Barney
Barnato persuaded them to invest in the
Pleiaedes mine on the Rand. The Kimberly
men sunk every %sixnence they had saved
in this investment. and when it proved a
failure they were so wild with rage that
Barnato would have had a hard time but
NoaSS' "No pau lhC iiieu @loU,UUU VI
his own money, completely reimbursing
them and winning their esteem forever.
Among the native tribes in South Africa
Rhodes is called "Lamula M'Kunzi," which
might be interpreted approximately into
Kind white father" With them he is
thoroughly popular. He seems to enjoy
sitting in a native kraal and conversing in
the various dialects. He addresses them as
my children"
Rhodes apparent ignorance of the value
OF money is greatly appreciated in South
Africa, where gold sovereigrs are about as
plentiful as quarter dollars in the ordinary
American town. He will sign a check for
100000 to the order os some friend, and
reach in his pocket only to find he has not
a single coin to buy the stamp. His valet
always makes 1t a point to carry about some
money, for his master is frequently with
out it.
For those whom he likes Rhodes will do
anything. and the rougher and harder YOU
are the better chance you stand of winning
his favor. He advanced almost m
sums to Roland Creech, an American cow
boy who had the contract for building part
OF the telegraph line from Umtali to Tete,
because Creech could thrash any other
single white or black man In Portuguese
territory.
