MAKES THEM AND USES THEM.
Yes maam, this lots all the same price take

stand in Fulton Market, where food was dis

and III put il in your basket fo~ you and
extra charge for the seaweed to keep 'em fresh.
But don't you go to picking them up for your
self or you'll get pinched; crabs as ready to
shake hands as a candidate for alderman, and

Having thus delivered himself the dealer over

top of his stand. whereupon the lively ANIMALS
began Immediately a sidewise race demanding
vigilance and a stick on the part Of the man to
prevent his wares from scuttling of down South

in the midst of swapping claws. the dealer deftIy

dropped it upon the layer of wet seaweed at the
bottom of the woman's basket where the crab

layer, being evidently just stupid enough 10

two sticks together by whipping a p!ece Of fish

them as far as 1t Will so toward the fastened
end The cork Will stick fast about six OF eight

ton to-day. The story of his detail for
duty at the White House furnishes an
interesting chapter in official life at
Washington.
When a boy, he possessed natural tai
ent for artistic penmanshp and free hand
drawing. During the war he served as
private in the Northern army. When the
war ended, he came to Washington as
an orderly in the Judge Advocate Gener
ais Office. While there his skill with pen
and ink attracted the attention of Gen.
o. e. BabcOck who was then on duty at
the White House as military secretary to
President Grant. One day, Gen. Babcock
observed Mr.. Pruden sitting at a table
scribbling. Unconscious that his penman-
ship had attracted the Generals attention.
the young artist dropped some of his work
upon the floor. Gen. Babcock picked ii up
and took it over to the White House. At
that time the executive force needed IN
expert penman. At the suggestion of Ger.
Babcock MIR. Pruden was transferred
from the Judge Advocate Generals office
to the White House and there assigned
to clerical duty He soon displayed his
talents. not only as an expert penman,
but as a pen and ink and water color
sketch artist of more than ordinary abil-
ity. From that time forward he has re-
manned on duty at the White House. and
he is now regarded as one of the fixtures
in the Presidents official family holding
the remunerative position of assistant
secretary to the President All communi-
cations and correspondence requiring ar
tistic penmanship in connection with the
official business at the executive mansion
are the work of the former orderly in the
Judge Advocate Generals Office, now
known in official life as Col. Octavius L.
Pruden.

Judge Reagan attempted to make the ver-
dict of the Supreme Court in the Spauld-

ment of his court. that he would be ask

ground upon which the motion would be
made, would be all sufficient to carry the
point attempted by the counsel for the
Prohibitionists.
The matter has been kept down almost
to a rumor until last night, when man

to whether they will be able to take
