DUGaAN WAS THE REFEREE.
But the Case Was so Plain It Needed
No Refereeing.

Once upon a time, not many davs
ago. Farmer Stewart and Farmer Nc
Lane, whose holdings adjoin in that
bushy neck OF woods, 'twixt the Notch
and Chlnchlla, were each expecting to
have hastings to distribute to the
reighbors. And it came to pass that
each had the aforesaid delicacy with
which to gladden. the aforesaid neigh
bors, but by a singularly remarkable
coincidence. the which whereof all this
was coincidental was not at hand. In
other words, the calves could not be
found.
Both men and their households set
forth to scour the bush, and after half
days search n Stewart found live
calf and the McLanes a dead one. Both
laid claim to the live one. and both
had arguments galore to support their
claims.
1t had the markings and all the other
family characteristics of the Stewart
COW. the Stewarts claimed. while the
McLanes pointed out that man with
half an eye could see the calf was an
Alderney like their COW, and possessed
not the faintest resemblance to the
cross Holstein of the Stewards.
Not wishing to have any falling out
about a little thing like calf. after
the two families had lived together in
peace and quiet for over a decade. 1t
was mutually agreed to leave the dis
pute to be settled by some one learned
in the law.
Saturday last while discussing the
question of referee in the road, just in
front of Stewards barn, who happened
along but Patrolman John Duggan,
bent on iaunt to Chinchilla to look
al some game roosters he heard were
for sale up that way.
What man could better decide the
question? John Duggan, who was the
law itself for all the Notch for years
and years. could not be beat for set
tlnG just the sort of thing that was
bothering the Stewarts and McLanes.
John was called, and the case laid
before him in all it's details well. L
hope you're not puzzled over that" said
John, with an air that betokened the
next thing to disgust. But they We're
puzzled. despite Johns disgust, and
they would have him solve their diff
Guilty.
where's the calf" inquired John.
She's here in the barn." answered
Stewart.
"When was she fed?" John asked,
With an emphasized interrogative ac-
cent, to indicate that the question was
all-important.
Not since the morning" was Stew
arts answer.
Good" quoth John.
Then. at the order of the blue-coated
sage, the cows were brought, headed in
different directions, and the calf let
loose at a point equi-distart from the
rival mamma cows.
The way the calf scampered over to
the McLane COW, and the way the Nc
Lane COW acted glad. and the way the
Stewart COW didn't show a bit of in
terest in this truly interesting proceed
ing made it unnecessary for the wise
John to voice his decision.
81 guess she's yours. Mae said
Stewart, pushing the brim of his hat
down over his eyes and scratching the
back of his head. McLane was sure 1t
was then, if he wasn't before. and so
excited was he at winning out that it
was not until Officer Duggan was on
his way back that he thought to ask
him if he would take jug of cider
along home.

A NEWsBoYS' sQUABBLE.
A Missing Purse Caused One Lads
Arrest.

Patroman Dave Parry was last night
accosted by ten-year-old Lackawan-
ma avenue newsboy, who pointed out
another urchin about his own size and
wrathfully declared that the latter had
picked his pocket of his days earn
ings.
"He swiped forty cents from me-" the
lad remarked Indignantly, and Parry
then approached the other boy, who, on
seeeing the bluecoat coming near, made
futile effort to escape.
He was taken to the Center street
station, where a small pocketbook con-
tanning the missing sum was found on
him. He claimed to have found 1t in
front OF j. d. Williams store, how
ever, and then, strange to relate, the
first newsboy relented and lamely said
that maybe his co-worker did find it,
The latter was allowed to leave the sta
tion free boy once again.

Government Printing.

Youths Companion.
Thousands of people 60 every year
to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing in Washington to see Uncle
Sam make money. Several young
women are assigned by the bureau to
act as guides for these visitors, who are
taken about in groups of six. They
are first shown the silk-threaded paper,
as it comes from Dalton, Mass, where
it is made expressly for the govern
ment and under close supervision.
Much OF the protection against coun-
terfeiting lies in the paper. 1t comes
III sheets just large enough for tour
bills.
The back of the note IS printed first
then the face, while the third time
the notes are run through the presses
the serial numbers are stamped upon
them and the fourth time the govern
ment seal. The last process is car
ried on at the Treasury Department
proper, hali-mlle away, In order to
make check on the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing. Besides paper
money, postage-stamps, bonds and
various government securities are
turned out at the bureau.
Although the employees number
nearly two thousand. not one OF them

night until every sheet CT paper tina!

A New Humorist in the Senate.

National Magazine.
a new tount OF humor has burst
tort h Upon the Senate. That veteran
Confederate chieftain and Democratic
politician, Senator Pettus, of Alabama,
grave, calm and dignifed, has scored
the humorous honors of the session in
that austere body, popularly termed
the "Milliona1res' Club" His speech
on the Puerto Rlcan bill was one Of
the funniest ever heard in the Senate
chamber. By turns his colleagues
shook and quaked and gave way again
to hilarious laughter. Senator Frye,
of Maine, who was presiding, was shak-
ing 80 with laughter that he made no
effort to restrain the tremendous, con-
tlnuous applause Of the galleries staid
Senators were rubbing their sides all
aglee, and Senator Chauncey Depew,
himself prince of speakers, as adroit
al anecdote teller and mlrth proyoker
as ever graced an assem- blage, could
not keep his seat, but paced back and
forth behind the rows of seats to give
full vent to his Uncomfortable amuse-
ment. Senator Pat;us began with a
careful constitutional argument, but
soon branched of into another vein
and began poklng fun at his colleagues.
1t was his inimltable manner as much
as his words. He referred to Senator
Galilnger as one who had "infol med us
that he was not lawyer, and be
proved it to us not only by asserting
it, but by his argument" Then he
poured forth his -cauIdron of sarcasm
on the brilliant young Hoosier orator
Senator Beveridge, whose prowess in
the Senate was so marked. Senator
Pettus is the oldest member of the
Senate, and was spurred to run for his
present seat as Senator Pugh's sue
cessor by an unfortunate remark o1
the latter gentleman, who tried to dis
suade General Pettus from seeking the
bench, on the ground of age.
