Lost His Birthmark.

An amusing incident took place at the
Grand Central station few weeks ago
4 portly man with clothes of foreign cut,
outlandish baggage and decided German
brogue bought ticket for western point
and then bought sleeping berth and
waited for his train to be announced As
soon as it was called he got into line, oc-
eupied much space with all his bags and
bundles and made people in front and be
hind him uncomfortable He had no
sooner reached the platform than he
dropped his baggage aud freight aud pushed
his way back into the waiting room, ran
up to the police officer and cried breath
lessly:
''Gott in Himmel Say, l lost mine
birthmark "
Lost your birthmark Where was
hY'
Here in mine pocket in y
In your pocket? That's nice place
to have one, said the officer, wishing to
humor crazy man. "How did it look?'
"Red-fool-hk birthmark all can
without it not in the sleep wagon 90, and
he rushed to the ticket window, where
they knew that the German meant berth
check when he said birthnark, and the
matter was settled to MS satisfaction. The
crowds had gone through the door, and it
was nearly train time when he came bound
ing back and up to the ticket window,
where, with profuse apologies, he told the
clerk that he had found his ''birthmark !"

Crops on Mortgaged Land.
From the Belair Times.

Chief Judge McSherry in the Court of
Appeals last week delivered an important
opinion in the case Of Edward Wootten VS..
Huda A. White, appealed from the Cir
cult Court for Montgomery county The
question in the case is this: Can mort
gagor, whose mortgage is in default, plant
4 crop aud then execute bill of sale of
that crop to a third person aud thereby
deprive the purchaser of the mortgaged
farm from claiming the growing crop, if
the farm be sold under the mortgage while
the crop is still growing The vendee
under the bin of sale brought an action of
troyer against the purchaser of the farm
for the value Of the crop. The crop was
planted when the mortgage was overdue.
The mortgagor sold the crop by a bill of
sale to the person who furnished the fer
tilizer with which there crop was planted
Before the crop was ripe and before it was
harvested, the mortgages sold the farm
under the mortgage and the purchaser at
that sale atterward cut the crop and still
holds it. The Court holds that the execution
of bill Of sale BY mortgsgor does not
constructiyely sever the crop from the land,
aud that as the crop was actually growing
and was annexed to the land at the time
the land was sold it passed with the land to
the purchaser and that the latter right
to it is superior to the right claimed by the
vendor of the fertilizer under the bill of
sale. If the mortgage had not been fore
closed until after the crop had been cut by
the mortgagor or his vendee, the title
which the bill of sale conveyed would have
been good. Every person who buys crop
growing on mortgagsd land is liable to have
his title to the crop defeated if the mort
gage be foreclosed and the land with the
crop growing cfi it be sold before the crop
is actually severed and cut. Though a
growing crop is for many purposes treated
and regarded as personal property, yet
until it is actually cut and severed from the
land it forms part of the mortsagees
security for the payment of the debt due
10 him, and he cannot be deprived of that
security if he forecloses the mortgage and
sells the land while the crop is still standing.
This is a new question in Maryland and
the decision of the Court is of general in
terest and great importance.

A Judge on Pardons.
From the Kansas City Correspondence,

From the Kansas City Correspondence.
In sentencing Levi Moore to 80 years In
the penitentiary, Judge John W. Wof-
ford, Of the Criminal Court, recently made
some remarkable statements. Among other
things he said
''When you go down to the penitentiary
behave yourself and some fool Governor,
who wishes to distinguish himself for phil
anthropy, benevolence and kindness, may
pardon you. Yours is an extraordinary
case, and some Governor may think he can
become distinguished by pardonins you.
Therefore the jury did you great benefit
not to hang you. They have given you
chance to be pardoned.
''We have had examples lately of Gov
ernors seeking to become heroes by par
doning murderers and criminals In this
State. The hero factory has been work
ing overtime in the last eighteen months.
If man can become hero by wadins a
river with the water up to his shirt tail,
why can't Governor become hero by
pardoning you p

How to Invest $1,000.
J. Harsen Rhodes, President of the Greenwich
Savings Bank, in the N. Y Sunday World.

The wisest way to invest one or two
thousand dollars is, of course, to keep
it in the saving banks provided for that
purpose.
Ihe average man or woman lacks the
business training and wide knowledge of
financial matters necessary to the profta-
bic investment of capital. The savings
bank is absolutely the only safe place for
the deposit of small sums. The rate of
interest paid may seem small when com
pared with that promised by dishonest
spectators, but the little income Is at least
certain.
When a man has saved 81 900 or
so by self-denial and industry he is con-
stantly met by the temptation to invest it
in some speculative enterprise which offers
dazzling inducements.
No legislative measure is more urgent
than one which will protect the people
against bogus spectators The Legisla-
ture of the State of New York should take
action as soon as possible in this matter;
there is no law existing at present by which
this most reprehensible form of dishonesty
may be prevented.
In savings bank depositors have the
Judgment of a competent board Of direc-
tors at their service State regulations
prevent the money from being used for
speculative purposes and allow only certain
kinds of investment which are known to
be safe
Young men are often advised to 60 to
some new country to be begin business,
but my opinion is that geography has little
to do with success. New York offers Just
As many inducements to an ambitious young
man with small capital as Arizona or any
Western State. No matter in what part
of the world man lives he will find that
the virtues of thrift, economy and industry
lead to success, and their opposites lead to
failure.
To the young man l would say Save
little money every week. Deposit it
where it viii be safe and at your com
mand When the right opportunity ar
rives invest it in business of which you
viii have personal control. Avoid debt
and the allurements of speculation Move
ahead step by step, establishing regula-
ton for reliability and integrity.

An inventor has discovered an artful
means by which an approaching torpedo
boat may avoid detection from warship's
searcklight. His innovation consists of
huge light mirror, to be set up in frame
at the bow of the torpedo boat when an
enemy is to be attacked under cover of
darkness. This mirror is tilted forward
at its upper extremity. What is the re-
sult2 When the rays Of the inquiring
searchlight fash across the mirror they are

Saturday journal, the torpedo boat will be
able to get near enough to use its tubes

If farmers will make it rule to send
only the best to the market they will get
more money for one-half of their crops
when prices are low than for the whole.
When the markets are well supplied only
the best will sell Not only should the
articles be selected, but they should be uni
form-of the same quality at the bottom
of basket as at the top. Instead of re-
ducing the prices of potatoes by sending
the very small ones to the market keep
those that are unstable and feed them on
the farm and they viii then be more valu-
able.
