WITH REAL AFFECTION
A Grandmother's Love for Her
Child's Children.
CASE OF RAW DESERTION
Young Ledford's Father Asks the Court
to Give His Wayward Son His
Liberty - MIR. Charles
Estate.

Mrs. Agnes Talon yesterday COM
menced habeas corpus proceedings in
Judge Clancy's court to get possession
of her four children, who, she says,
are unlawfully kept from her by one
Kate Demory, who resides at No. 24O
East Broadway. In her petition Mrs.
Talon says the children are Gertrude,
aged 70; May, aged s; Joseph, ased
4, and Loretta, aged years, children
by her former husband, Peter Ryan,
now deceased. Judge Clancy ordered
the issuance of the writ and set the
matter for hearing at 10 o'clock TINS
morning.
Mrs. Demory is the grandmother Of
the children and mother of Mrs. TAI
Ion. According to story told the
county attorney by Mrs. Demory yes
terday the children We're deserted by
their mother, and the grandmother
who has supported them since the first
of last January, has became very much
attached to them and does not wish
to surrender them to the mother. Mrs.
Demory was accompanied by the eld-
est of the four children, who declared
that she would never return to her
mother.
The trial of Jack Ledford, charged
with committing murQefOuS dSSd III
on a Galena street woman, had been
set for to-day in Judge Clancv's court,
but on the courts own motion it was
continued until the first of June. Judge
Clancy stated, in court, that he had re-
ceived a letter from Ledford's father,
who lives in Tennessee, asking him to
let the young criminal go free. The de-
PENDANTS father wrote that he had
sent his son money with Whi7h to pay
his way home, but that instead of 60
ing home he got into trouble in Butte.
The young fellow is charged with as
sault in the second 7eoree, and his
father modestly asked the court to al
low him to plead guilty to assault and
battery and suspend sentence as long
as he remained out of the state. Judge
Clancy said that the best he could 40
for Ledford was to continue the trial
of his case until June l to give his
father time to come 10 Butte, If he
wished to do so before the trial.

r.onr Range Firing.

No one who reads about the des- perate fighting going on in these long, range. quick-fring days could have failed to be amazed at the small num- Der of resulting casualties. As mat ter of fact, the firing begins when the combatants are miles apart and ends before they can see the whites of each others eyes. There is no "hand-to- hand" business as of yore. What kill ing is done is miscellaneous and aeei- dental. This is particul. ly true with respect to the warfare now in progress in the Philippines. The fatalities among our troops mainly result from the fire of sharpshooters, who pick their victims off from the safe cover of the jungle. The Filipinos have learned to protect themselves by keep ing out of range. Two or three severe lessons sufficed. d.-Philadelphia Record

 Last spring disorders took place at sastel Gandolfo, a village on the AL aan hills, provoked by peasans E agi- ating for bread or for land on which Q cultivate grain. Prince Barberini. proprietor of much land in the neigh aorhood, portioned out a part of it. which had for the last 100 years been ct f6r pasture, between IA peasants. The terms offered to the peasants were dmple. They were given a three years ease of the land on condition that hey should cultivate it with maize or wheat, and that one-third of the crops hould belong to Prince Barberini and he other two-thirds to the peasants. Ehe first harvest of maize has now ,een reaped. and the results are most neouraging. The value of the erop is calculated at 6,300 lire. and a third, Iiqual to about so pounds, goes into he pockets of Prince Barberini. The wheat has just been sown. and it is xpeeted that it will produce 12.600 ire, of which 4,200 lire, or 160 pounds Fill belong to Prince Barberini. who Eill thus have 240 pounds a year out of and which has yielded him less than 0 pounds year In addition. he has Ssured good livelihood to IA starY- sg families.-London Post.

The Difference of a Letter.

A man, recently left widower, when arranging for his late wife's tombstone, gave orders that the lettering should be of a stated size. At the bottom of the stone he wished to have the words. Lord, she was thine" The stone- mason said he was afraid there would not be room for the words, but the bereayed widower insisted, and the carving was put in hand. The correct ness of the mason's view was justified, for when the stone was finished at the foot of the tablet were the words. Lord, she was thin. "-London Chron. ieIe

Birds That Dance.

There is no longer doubt that blrds are addicted to the dance. The bower bird and the prairie fowl are adopts in the art, while the American grouse is veritable master of ceremonies. It is the custom of these birds to pre- pare their ballroom by beating down the grass with their wings, and then to dance something suspiciousiy like the Lancers. By twos and fours they advance, lowing their heads and droop- ing their wings; then they recede and then advance again and turn on their toes, swelling their feathers and cluek- ing gently.

The Broken Heart
 (An Old Favoritel Now lock my chamber door father, And say you left me sleeping; But never tell my step-mother Of all this bitter weeping.

And oh, kind heaven were it thy will, To close my eyes for ever For how can maids affections dear Recall her love unshaken? Or how can heart of maiden bear To know that heart forsaken! Oh, why should VOWS so fondly made, Be broken ere the morrow To one who loved as never maid Loved in this world of sorrow!

Record Diving Feat.

The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the cost of South America, when a diver named Hooper made seven deseents to depth of over 200 feet. remaining at one time 42 minutes under the water. An authority states that the greatest depth to which a man has been known to descend does not exceed 220 feet, which is equivalent to a pressure of SS15 pounds to the square inch.

SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.

 Boston Man.


 Boston Man.
 We have received a little pamphlet which we hope has been distributed widely among our readers. The care ful study of it may put an end to doubts that have embittered house holds and poisoned the wells of domes- tic happiness. This little book-Ws dislike the term booklet in simple language how to dress your eoaehman, groom, butler, doOrman and page. Thus, for instance, the coach man should wear six buttons on his eoat-two in the back at waist and two at the bottom of skirt. He shold also have flats on his pockets. Otherwise he might be mistaken for the groom, who has no flaps on his pockets, and has five buttons in front and six be- hind. These buttons should always match the metal trimmings on the har- ness. Ardent Bryanites will. of course, use silver. The hat must be silk. There is no alternative Slouch hats are no longer worn by the coachmen of our LA4OlO CAS4u04FG CALlAG1Sy dAd tue HUI fastidious insist that the hat should be new one, not cast-off dicer of the muster. The coachman, when on du- ty, should smoke only cigars. They should cost at least at the rate of three for a quarter. Green baize cloth aprons should match your billiard ta- ble. Crest buttons, worn by your ser- wants, should be ducal There are several dukes in England, so there may be variety in the device. By paying attention to these details and the ad- vice as to other matters given by this pamphlet, you will be obliged to be more serupulous as to your own dress; for 1t is sad sight when the groom Is mistaken for the master-Boston Jour- nal

The whlstIing Tree.

The "whistling tree" is so called from the wind in its branches making a sound like flute. It is the "tsofar of South Nubia, and yields the gum oi senaar. Dr. Schweinfurth has shown that the sound is caused by holes bored in the spines of the branches by an Insect in order to suck the gum. Tne spines, in fact. become little flutes.

About Amber.

Although amber is not a precious stone, or anything of the sort, it is nevertheless a precious material, one full of picturesque interest and very beautiful to boot. Most of the amber of the world has been found thrown up on the shores of the Baltic sea, and is supposed to be the residuum of old and huge forests of a period before eiviliza- tion of the world began. A little Is found in this country, a little in Eng land, little in the far Orient, little of 1t is mined and the fossil trees, whose gum 1t was, are still in evidence in the strata with the gum exuding from them, but the most of the worlds amber comes from the Prussian coast.
