Holding his handkerchief in his

of the plainest. he being served twice

police and the hangers-on were ordered
to clear the street and to keep all pas
sers-by and curious urchins back, while
the rival occupants of the residences
were ordered to stay within doors.
Then the constable put the box con-
tanning the hen at the point in the
roadway midway between the two
houses, and as the setting sun was
tinging the clouds in the west with its
last rays he removed the cover of the
box and retired on tiptoe. Biddy
jumped UP on the side of the box,
shook her feathers, hoped into the
street, picked in the dust for moment
and then, calmly marched into the yard
of one of the claimants, proceeded to
fly up into tree to go to roost. Call
ing the woman of that house to the
door, Franklin told her that he had de-
cided that the hen was hers, and, in
turning to the other, who had come out.
said: And if you give me any more
trouble about that hen | will assess
you $3.50 for costs" All the neighbors
were well satisfied as to the justice of
the decision, and Franklin's reputation
as judge was much enhanced thereby
among the native population. He had
very shrewdly thought that if no one
else knew to whom the hen belonged
probably Biddy herself would be the
most certain witness in the case.

One of the richest prizes ever picked
up at sea is now making her way

cargo of ore, which was picked up in

totally abandoned, but in first-class
condition, vessel and cargo being val

Jones of the British steamship Chiver-
stone, which arrived at this port yes

fact that the Superb, which is a full
rugged ship, was manned by only six
men, there were no requests for assist

that signals displayed showed that the
vessel was proceeding for Gibraltar.

The Truth
About Tobias,

II kissed my sister, for she is kind

Nevertheless, to try my fate!"
Anonymous.
1t took Hanora quite time to find
out the truth about Tobias. Not that
Tobias could ordinarily be considered
mysterious Individual Indeed, he
was precisely the reverse. From the
iool dawn hour in which he arose to go

supper-awaited him, his life was

wide for every casual or interested
glance. His nights, If less exposed to
the arc lights of public scrutiny, might
as well have been so. For, after eating
heartily of the food Hanora had pre-
pared and referring to the same in
admiring terms, he was wont to re-
move his shoes as unnecessary impedi-
menta, place his feet in their we'll
light his pipe, drink the solitary bottle
of beer which Hanora permitted him,
and read the mighty accumulation OF

Indeed. his was the only love that had
ever come Hanoras way. She had
never been guilty of that form of high

that she was unsophisticated. She

TEXAS SOLOMON.
How the Ownership of u Hen Was Ju-

Texas has always been noted for the
remarkable decisions OF some OF its
minor judiciaries, which. while often
showing ignorance of the letter OF the
law, contained good deal OF rude
equity and appreciation OF what was
right between man and man, says. the
Mexican Herald. Some of Justice /. p.

would have done credit to the wise cadi

came to him one morning claiming the
ownership of hen, valued perhaps at
25 cents. Each had crowd OF wit
nesses, who swore point blank up and
down. one lot that the hen was the
property OF one OF the women and the
other gang that II was the property OF
the other. Here was quandary,
Franklin thought awhile and then or
dered that the hen be left with the
court. and said he would render his de-

The statement is made on the au-

origin, but were first exported to Eng

dealers in accordance with Brazilian
requirements and reshipped across the

the fact that Brazil imported from this
