An Eagle or an Ass?
rom the Anniston Star.

From the Anniston Star.
 Things strange and peculiar are to be found even on ten-dollar bills, as was proven to a Star man this morning by Probate Judge E. F. Crook. Judge Crook had ten-dollar bill in his hand when the Star man went into his office this morn ing and he asked the writer to look close ly at the eagle in the center of the lower portion of the bill. Then he turned the bill upside down and the eagle was changed to a jackass. The bill was one of a species known as the 'jackass bills, ' and the freak was caused by an engraver, who, having been given notice that he was soon to be discharged, took revenge be perpetrating the freak eagle. Thou sands of the notes were printed and dis tributed before the pecuiarity was dis covered and it was then too late to re- call them Now and then one of them turns up and the next time you get a ten-dollar bill you may discover by look ing at the eagle upside down that it is one of the variety.

The next witness said his name was Jenkins. That he heard the dispute. That one word led to another and finally they all led to court
 Another witness said he didn't pay much attention to it until he heard the defendant call MT. Albert a liar. That he then became interested hoping there might be a fight, but was disappointed in this, as soon as he saw a policeman on the scene. That there warn't no fight ing blood in the police anyhow.
 Another witness said that everybody was in the best of humor and no bad words were used unless they slipped out at times accidentally. Accidents will happen, he said.
 'The defendant again took the stand. "I went in the restaurant Judge" he said, ''and ordered a steak. It came in raw and to cook it I poured some to- basco sauce on it. Tn doing this I &C., cidentally split some on the table. The table caught fire and MT Albert got mad and said did it on purpose. Then I called him a liar. It aggravated me, Judge, to see a man who couldn't tell an accident HUH dl attempt lO Splll SduSG WltH malice aforethought."
 Tt is against the city ordinances to use abusive language said the Judge. There are no loop holes, port holes or any other holes in these ordinances for defendants to crawl through This is a case devoid of mitigating circumstances Any man who tries to drink tobasco sauce should be brought before a con gressional committee. As you have es- capped this and been brought before me l will try and do my duty and fine you s5. In case he does not pay 1t and goes to jail" said the Judge to the sheriff have some additional insurance taken out and notify the fire department to be in readiness. l have not had such a warm number in a long time.

JAcKAss PUT ON THE $1o BILL.
Just Examine Your Treasury Note of
 Series of 1880 and Find 1t.

An interesting story comes from Chi cago which every citizen who has a treas ury note of the 1880 series can verify He holds a "jackass bill" It appears that the government was made the victim of q practical joker in the bureau of engrav- ing and the staid serious money of the country has become the vehicle of a pug gle picture. The treasury officials have omitted to place an inscription on the bill. Find the jackass''. The absence of this has kept the matter a government secret for some time. Although the 'jackass bill' has been In existence for several years it was first discovered the other day by a bank clerk in Chicago who thought 1t was counterfeit and report ed it's discovery to the sub-treasury of flcials. They had been ignorant of the puzzle picture and sought information from Washington. The answer received was not made public except in so far as the bill was acknowledged as genuine The full text of the message from Wash ington, it is said, was to the effect to keep the "jackass" quiet and not let the public hear its praying.
 The jackass shows as plain as a life like portrait when the bill is turned up- side down. On the face of the bill is an American eagle in a little engraving to the left of the seal, and between the names of J. W. Lyons, register of the treasury. and Ellis II. Roberts, treasurer of the United States. There is nothing peculiar in the eagle until the bill is turned upside down and the eagle be- comes q jacl5ass, perfect in outline. The jackass' picture is on one of the most common of the S10 notes in circulation. The surprising thing is that the puzzle or joke on the eagle was not discovered long ago.
 None of the serious men who handled the money in Washington ever thought of turning bill upside down. The men who examine designs before they are committed to the engraving machine and the engraver passed the double tender, as 1t was facetiously termed. The bills had gone all over the country when the artist who perpetrated the joke in a spirit of maliciousness and revenge sent word to the treasurer of the United States to scan the portraits on the treasury $10 bill when held upside down.
 The jackass was found and there was best interests of the service and for the sake of the reputation of the department 1t was decided to let the combination of eagle and jackass alone in the hope that the public would never notice the pie ture.
 The story that comes from Washington IS to the effect that an Englishman work ing in the Bureau of Engraving was dis

I also think you will concur with my judgment when I state that there is one baby here so much prettier than the rest as to place it in a class of it's own, and to that baby it is my duty to award the prize. But to save the heart-burnings of the other mothers | think it best not to publicly announce the winner at this time. If the mother who holds the winner at this instant in her arms-and she knows to whom I refer-will call at the home of MT. Jones tomorrow morning at o'clock she will be awarded the prize that she so justly deserves.
 "Then I left and caught the first train for home. I gather from the somewhat warm and incoherent re- marks that Jones has made in my hearing since that there was a wildly exciting time when twenty-seven fond mothers called in bunch to demand the prize that I had awarded. Jones refuses to tell how it ended, but as he appears afraid to go back 1 rather i'm agine that the end is not yet"

Some Preliminary Remarks.

'I want the audience to understand" remarked Judge Feagin in the Police Court yesterday. that when the sheriff raps for order it Is not a signal for the audience to rap out applause, but for them to keep quiet. Imitation, I know. is the sincerest flattery. but l don't want you to initiate the sheriff too closely. While his head is level, too much lattery might turn it"

 "I am sorry to see you have got it in the neck" said the judge, 'for you are neither spring chicken nor a spring poet
 Judge, said the clerk. i've got a com plaint to make"
 ''Is it in common law form or statn- tory form?' asked the judge.
 "I don't know" said the clerk. "All l know is that it is not in bad form
 I'm glad to see something good around here," remarked the judge, If it's only complaint. What is it, Mir Clerk?'
 Judge said the clerk, there is too much shuffling of feet in the audience. Some of those people from the way they shuttle must think they are clog dancers. Your honor knows this room is never swept out and how the sand accumu- lates on the floor, and there is so much scratching of feet l cant hear my pen

 Are you furniture van?" asked the judge.
 NO, sir My name is Van Winkle-let her Rip. That's a little joke of mine your honor," said the defendant.
 'I am glad you labeled it." said the judge. 'It might have escaped me, and it would require the whole police force to arrest it. Proceed with your statement"
 Judge, I made the mistake of going into MT. Albert's restaurant, and he had me arrested for accidentally upsettng bottle of tobasco sauce. He seemed to think I did it on purpose. Can't get out of this in some way, judge?"
 T will have to hear the evidence" said

THE BABY SHOW.
Jones Acted as Judge, But Was Not
 Success.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Tt didn't turn out as Jones figured" said the talkative man, with a grin. He invited me to pay him a visit at his summer home in the country, and I accepted without any idea of what he had in store for me. No sooner had l arrived than he informed me that he had me booked to act as judge of baby show that was to take place the following day. I laughed at him and told him that all babies looked alike to me, and that I would have to be excused. But he pointed out the fact that I had been advertised to act, and that it was now too late to withdraw; so I consented, although with good many misgivings concern ing the outcome.
 Well, when I stood up on the plat form and saw twenty-seven proud mothers holding as many babies be- fore me 1 came near losing my nerve and bolting. However, I took a brace and told them to form in line and march past me. They did, and the sight made me dizzy, and for the life of me l couldn't tell a white baby from a colored one. To catch my breath and gain time to collect my thoughts 1 told them to march around once more, the result being that was more rattled than ever. I was about to ask them to parade them once more when l saw Jones grinning at me from the rear of the hall, and I realized the hand that he had had in getting me into the present situation. Like a flash 1 saw a way out of the trouble and chance to even up matters with Jones at the same time. Clearing my throat I addressed the expectant mothers as follows:
 CT have asked you to pass before me more as a matter of form than any doubt concerning the winner of this contest. That the babies are all dears think you will agree with me, and

From the Bessemer Herald-Journal.
 The town clock will bring it's sorrows as well as it's joys. The citizen who has had to attend lodge meeting will be plac- ed in rather a peculiar position should his royal spouse request the time of night as he returns from this said meeting, should he pull out his watch, with wise look, telling her solemnly that it is a lit tie past ten, if that clock should send forth the ringing notes of ding! ding! ding!-we will draw the curtain and not reveal the scene that would follow.
