THROWN OUT OF COURT.

"In the good old days of Ken
lucky" says The Bar, "there
was a court composed of three
magistrates to try certain cases
appealed from single justice of
the peace. The three magistrates
were backwoodsmen. A case was
being tried one day that was very
important, and several hours of
listening to the reading deposi-
tions and the arguments of coun-
sci, pro and con, and pro and con
again, had so nearly entangled
the court in u labyrinth of per-
picking questions of law and fact
that they doubted their ability to
blaze their way out So they
whispered to the leading lawyer
at the bar, who was sitting by as
spectator, and asked him what
he thought ought TO be done with
the case.
"I think it ought to be thrown
out of court, was the prompt
and emphatic reply.
"That settled it.
"'Mr. Clerk, said the chief
magistrate, pass up them pa
pers.
"rhe papers, which made quite
a large bundle, we handed the
chief magistrate.
"'Now, Mr.. Sheriff, said he
deliberately, open that window

dow and the case was thrown out
of court.

Tricks of Choir Singers.

One Of the English bishops has
been complaining that he notices
about many choir boys and men
a want of reverence and of atten-
ton to the services that are going
on, and he eXemplifies this by
saying that the choristers talk in
song and have sort of "volun-
tary" of their own wherein they
drop the original words and, to
sacred music, chant: 81 am so
hungry; | hope we shall finish
soon. ,"
But this, in reality, is very
old complaint, and the average
stage manager is far more affiict-
ed by it than even are choirmas-
ters connected with places of wor-
ship The rows of chorus men
and girls one sees on the stage
carry on long conversations about
everything under the sun, and to
music. And all the time they in
dulge in the gestures they have
been taught as appropriate to
the scene, their thoughts are re-
ally with the themes of their
chat, and thus it is that these
gestures seem so wooden and ar
tifcial. And it is a fact that the
great bulk Of the chorus people
engaged in the high class "Ital-
ian" opera sing any CHERISH they
please.

WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE COST

In a certain town in Vermont,

chewed away at pepsin tablet, |
picked up wallet containing $500
in cash. In it were papers bear
ing the owners name, and he
proved to be the mayor of the
town. / at once hunted him up
aud handed over his lost cash, and
as he received it he looked me
over and scratched the back of
his head and said

Howmuch do you think you ought
to have. "
Nothing whatever, sir I am
glad to restore your property"
"But you expect something?"
"No, sir"
Didn't look for me to give you
a cent?"
"Not a red
at don't seem possible" he
went ON as he looked me over
again, "but I'll have to take you
at your word. Doyou know what
it might have cost me, sir, had
any one else found this wallet?"
81 can't say, of course,
"I'd have had to hand over at
least 10 cents, sir, and he might
have struck me for Is or 20. :"

Whittier At Home.

The first ihstallment of a series
of letters that passed between
Whittier and Gail Hamilton are
published for the first time in the
December Ladies Home Journal.
In one letter written, however,
to a friend) Gail Hamilton gives
this interesting glimpse of Whit
tier at home:
Imagine Whittier and me sit
ting together one whole day and
two evenings, talking all the time
and then repeating it,
One of the brass knobs on the
Franklin stove was loose and
came off in my hand. turned it
over and remarked upon it's
brightness. He said, Now does
MT thee know that thee is making

destroying the brightness by
handling it, | rubbed it with
my handkerchief and asked the
housekeeper if | had made her
any work. oh, she said, you
make me no work. Mr.. Whittier
always takes care of these brass
es himself. - That accounted, |
said, for his anxiety-and dis
missed mine-for | did not think
a man generally had any more
work than was good for him!

COUNTLESS MILES.

Statements as to the distance
of the pole star from the earth
which have appeared in some of
the newspapers lately have been
ridiculously inadequate. One of
the estimates made is 255, 100000
miles. Now, if one will remem-
Der that the sun is $4,000, 1000
miles away and that it's light
comes to us in eight minutes, he
will see that if the foregoing esti-
mate of the distance of the pole
star We're right it's beams could
reach us in about Is days. 1t
would be only about 300 times
as far off as the sun.
Light travels 100000, 100000
miles in a year, and even the most
modest guesses as to the parallax
Of Polaris make it 80 light years.
Pritchard's estimate in 1887 was
80 light years, but he has since
modified his figures. Hence, if
one will write 2l0 and add II
ciphers thereto he will have the
number of miles which the most
conservative authorities believe
intervene between the earth and
the pole star. New York Trib-
une.

DECEIVED BY APPEARANCES.

Many years ago number of
Peoria Indians organized show
company and made tour Of the
east. They were mostly half
breeds and all were thoroughly
educated in English, but it was
stipulated by the management
that they must talk only in their
native tongue, and when they got
on their war togs they looked saw
age enough, indeed. Among the
company was Will Labadie, well
known in Galena, and one evening
he was standing in the corridor of
an eastern hotel, dressed in his
chiefs robes and looking every
inch the savage man of fiction,
when he was approached by an
elegantly gowned lady and the
following conversation ensued:
How"
"Ugh."
"You big chief in your coun-
try?"
ugh"
"You go to Washington to see
great White Father?"
"Ugh."
"You cannot speak white mans
tongue; you no speak English?"
'No madam. l regret to say
that | do not understand the Ian
guage."
The poor woman was greatly
surprised and embarrassed, but
perhaps not so much as a bevy of
girls on later occasion. In al
most every town some of the au-
dience would remain behind to
get better view of the awful saw
ages. One night Labadie had tax
en- his seat in the orchestra box
after the show and four or five
young ladies who were standing
near commenced to comment on
his personal appearance
"How would you like to kiss
him?" said one of the maidens,
with litter. ooh, girls! let's all
do it, just to see how it would feel
to kiss a real Indian" exclaimed
one more daring than the rest,
whereupon Labadie turned calm
ly to them and said:
'Iadies, nothing would afford
me more pleasure than to give
you practical illustration Of the
osculatory accomplishments of the
red man."
There was a chorus of little
screams, swish of skirts and
the theater was empty.
