usually operates II isn't the way the an
thorities Like to have it operate. And then, too,
here was an old woman. who had never been
away from home in all her life, who had grown
up children, who had knitted in that little
kitchen there in the village of Fort Kent and
had looked out through her little window at the
landmarks. There wasn't a person in the village
who wanted to see her go down to HouIton in
that manner
But there she and Uncle Charette sat without
looking at each other. Every one knew that
Aunt Charette had money enough to pay the
fine Uncle Charette's name on the bond would
keep her at home
And all Uncle Charette would say was:
She t'ink she batter go. She'll be all FRAT
I'll kip house till she COM back We've talk
bout dat ting som, and t'ink dat p'rap she
batter go down dere.'
Well, under those circumstances the law had

on the platform outside the door. The husband

evening indicated that Aunt Charette had 500
worth Of liquor in stock
The officers left word that Aunt Charette
must be at the Office Of the local trial justice the
next forenoon at 9
At o'clock Uncle Charette eased her down
out of the old fashioned chaise onto the platform
before the Justices office. It was a slow and
tedious job for Aunt Charette's avoirdupos is
disposed in most unwieldy fashion. She was ar
rayed in her best black dress Uncle Charette-
this being a state occasion-had on his long
tailed black coat The faces OF both were per
fectly expressioness. Evidently Aunt Charette
had exhausted all her emotion the afternoon
before
They sat side by side in the Justices office
mute, never moving. never even turning their
heads while all the other cases of seizure were
disposed Of.
It had been a wholesale raid through the vii
lage All the men and women who had been
raided owed money 70 Aunt Charette. All gave
bonds to appear at the higher court All went

Well. Mrs. Charette' said the justice, you
are charged with single sale, with nuisance and
keeping tippling shop. Have you any lawyer

To the surprise of all Uncle Charette who had
been all these years the silent partner in this
firm, the one to speak

Well. I shall have to impose fines amounting
TO about $500 her. said the justice Aunt
Charette gasped-that was all Uncle Charette
said nothing.
You appeal. don't you?" asked the justice.
You know you can appeal and give bonds and
then your wife won't have TO go to Jail. You will
also have time to get money collected to pay
the fine"
We don't do nottins tall bout dat ting"
said Uncle Charette doggedly.
What you don't mean to say that you are
going to let your wife go down to jan?" cried
the justice IF she doesn't pay or give bonds
she'll have TO go to jail and await the sitting of
the court. That is two months off. Then she will
have still more time to serve in carrying out
her sentence. She is likely to stay there the
most of year. aunt Charette has been 4 good

ZEBRA Law IN ENGLAND.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.

From The Pail Mall Gazette
Zebra law may not be important to the
average citizen dog law. but it is worth
knowing IL you frequent menageries. One Mar
Ior. visiting an Oldham show, found a stable
door open and went in and stroked the ZEBRA
whereupOn the ungrateful beast let out with his
heels and pushed him through a partition into
another stall where another zebra bit his hand,
which had to be amputated Could he recover
from the Zebra's owner? jury thought he
could, but the Court Of Appeal says not A
zebra is at present legally wild animal and
likely 10 remain so, since the advance Of the
motor car makes against tanning animals
for harness Now mans duty with regard to
his wild beast is to keep it secured. that it
may not go about seeking whom it may devOur,
and secured his zebra True the door was
casually left OPEN and If the visitor had merely
gone in and been kicked. he might have
covered; but he invited" his kicking by strok-
ing. Zebras do not understand magnanimity.
All the same if Zebras' doors left open. II
might be well to put up notices that the beasts
are likely to go off at both ends.

EXHIBITION CAB FARES.
from The London Chronicle.

From The London Chronicle.
The Paris cabmen are getting somewhat
alarmed about their prospects during the Ex-
position period, and have appealed TO the Minis
ter who controls these matters to allow them
to raise their fares. Visitors to the Paris Ex
position of 1883 will be surprised that such
permission should be thought necessary. as
normal fares were then practically unknown
and cabmen would demand or francs
in place Of the usual / franc 80 centmes without
a blush Whether ii is good policy thus to raise
the fares is another question. Fortunately
there are tramcars and oIuaibuses in Paris, not
to mention the prospect of an underground rail
way.

A Couple of Shocks.

''Yhere have you been. Mr. Rocky?'
demanded the boss.
"Oh, SIR" replied Rocky mendacious-
~, 'my landlady is a most excellent
woman, and she has been so III that /
had to stay at home to nurse her."
This excuse went, and the boss turned
away. The following day Rocky felt
like he had sand in his head, and a
headache as long as n rainy Sunday
N the country developed. He staid at
home, sending the excuse that his
Iandlady was dead and he had to at
tend the funeral. Later In the day a
woman entered the bookstore and in
quired for Mr.. Rocky.
''The reason / came here" she ex-
planned, SIS because am his landlady,
and not having seen him for a week /
became uneasy and called to inquire
about him."
Ellis landladyv' gasped the boss.
"Why, woman, he's attending your fl
neral this very day and has been nurs-
Ing you for a week."
1t was u shock to the poor woman to
find she was dead, but a shock of an
other sort struck Rocky when he came
back to work. 1t was his funeral that
time.-Louisyille Times.
