A VAGRANT FROM BOSTON.
He AstOnished n BniliH by His High
Flown Language in
Court,

Bailitf Kendig is recognized as something
of wit. The first prisoner to be subjected
to the laconic thrusts of the ballitf in the
police court the other day was William
Ross, says the Washington Times. The
charge against him was vagrancy, and as
he was arraigned kendig said, soto voce:
- rolling stone gathers no moss" lie
then added, THAT is true saying" Much
to the surprise and chagrin of kendig, Ross
replied without the faintest semblance of
smile:
why do you not quote that aphorism cor.
rectly? As We say it in Boston it is: Any
petrified formation endowed with rotary
motion shows no affinity for the collection
of lichenous PARTICLES
n THAT will do from you," said Kendig,
you are charged as vag. Are you guilty or
not guilty?"
Ross answered not guilty, but the evi.
dence was against him. Policeman Gordon
declared that he found Ross begging at the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad station. Ross
claimed that the only begging he did was
to beg the policeman to release him. Judge
Mills sent Ross to the workhouse for 60 DAYS
- default of bonds in the sum of $40.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Little Bit of Bluff That Failed to
Work with Wide Awake
Man.

If there be one thing that more than an
other admire it is the having ones wits about
one-perhaps because l never had mine To
be possessed only of l'esprt d'escalers is
simply an aggravation, writes John Paul in
Harper's Magazine.
As illustrative of ready-witted men l re-
call an incident that l have often told but
never published. Let me do that now in
justice to one that is gone.
In company with the late j. R. Osgood l
once of an evening dropped in at Wallack S
old Fourteenth Street theater. We could
get no seats, as there was standing room
only. At the end of the first act two or
chestra seats were vacant in front, and we
walked down and took them. Barely were
we seated when two gentlemanly-lo looking
young men came down the aisle and ad.
dressed me.
Beg pardon, but have you checks for
those seats:"
l was on the point of rising, when Osgood
replied: NO. Have you?'
They hadn't. 1t was merely bit of SUI
preme bluff. But how few would have had
the readiness to meet and parry it.

There was long silence. The little ones
bent over and looked at one another and
drew long breaths, but none OF them said

length. I'm surprised! Isn't there any
little boy or girl in this class who can tell
why Babylon fell? Isn't there any one of
you who can think of any reason why Baby
Ion should have fallen?'
Then a boy with large brown freckles on

Upwent Chittenden's hand to his ear. with

DO bleed to DEATH" People can bleed
to death. The loss of blood weakens
the body. 1t must follow that gain of
blood gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in large
part due to it's action on the blood
making glands and the increased sup.
ply of pure, rich blood it produces. It
is only when the blood is impoverished
and impure that disease finds sell in
which to root. The Discovery puri-
fies the blood and makes it atangonistic
to disease. When the body is emaciat-
ed the lungs are weak, and there is oh.
stinate lingering cough, "Golden Medi-
cal Discovery puts the body on a
fighting footing against disease. and
SO increases the vitality that disease ia
thrown of, and physical health per-
fectly and permanently restored. It

to man the ship, turned to and chased

before they had the last one. They
were in the cabins, in the staterooms,
everywhere. One of them ascended
