Fort Wallace. In the course Of quar-
rel Comstock killed White. White
had brother in New York, q lawyer.
who came out to visit the law upon
his brothers slayer. Comstock was
arrested and brought before Judge
Joyce at Hays City. The prisoner
walked into the courtroom Judge
Joyce's saloon) with two big six shoot
ers belted to his hips.
"Misther Comstock, We are charged
with willful murther. Are ye guilty
or not guilty ?"$asked the judge.
GUILTY. was the laconic response.
This was entirely beyond Judge
Joyce's calculations. He had no prece-
dent for such a case and no power or
inclination to visit out a penalty, and
so, with great indignation, he shouted:
Eye are fool for tellin it! Did any
wan see We do it?'
NO" was the prisoners response.
Thin OF discharge We fer want Of
ividence," declared his honor, and
thereupon all the boys moved up to
the bar and took "sunthin" with Mr..
Comstock.

her great suffering for years. Terrible
sores would break out over her head

give her no help; but her cure is com.

Il dropped into restaurant not far
from the city hall for lunch, and the
waiter who took my order, although
Enthusiastically colored man, spoke as
though he had just come from some
Pennsylvania Dutch settlement up the
state. The thing was so pronounced
that spoke to the proprietor about 1t
and found that my suspicious were
correct. The man was a full blooded
negro, but he had been born and rails
ed In a small town near Reading and
had always associated with the whites
who spoke Pennsylvania Dutch. Queer,
isn't ftp
"Oh, don't knoww said one Of the
party whose business takes him
through the west. "a short time ago
| came across a German who spoke
English with decided Irish brogue
He was an educated young fellow, q
graduate of German university, and
he was very anxious to learn English.
He drifted out to Chicago and from
there to lumber camp up in Wiscon-
sin. Here, he thought, would be an
excellent chance to learn the language.
But all the men In the camp were
Irishmen. OF course the young Ger
man didn't know that, and he fell
readily into their mode OF speech. At
the end Of a year he returned to Chi
cago, very proud Of having mastered
our tongue, and was greatly surpris-
ed to discover that he had a brogue.
That was several years ago, but he has
never lost it. 1t clipgs to him as close
ly as though he had been born in Coun-
ty Antrim. "-Philadelphia Record.
