A Chicagoan tells a most amusing
story of an incident in the experience
of a newspaper friend of his. The
friend was city editor of great daily.
and in the course of his manifold du-
ties it fell to his lot to take to task
one of his reporters. The reporter i'll
question was an Englishman. slow of
thought and action and miserly Of
speech. Through the TRADE to which
he was subjected he said nothing, and
when it finally ended he left the pres
ence of his superior without any COM
ment. But, as the result proved, he
did some tall thinking. City editors
when ''riled," as is well known are
not particularly choice or economical
in the language they bestow on their
unfortunate reporters, and among 9TH
err things the Englishman had been
told that he was no better thanh
fact, was-a crazy man, and that his
proper habitat was a lunatic asylum
and not the hall bedroom of Chicago
boarding house. which he occupied.
The Englishman took his part of the
city editors remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum. had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists,
and secured from them an official GER
tificate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the office of
his paper the next day, and. entering
the city editors sanctum. he slapped
it down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. Now, you go and
get one" was his only comment, and
for once that city editor capitulated.

sents. let the next thing be a wedding
before the old man can change her by
appeal or threat
Thomas felt that this was the
dernier resort. and ne would adopt
it. If it should fail, he would be in
no worse condition than at present.
He accordingly repaired to Sibley.
While there vacillating between his
resolve and trepidation. and almost
decided to press his suit no farther.
he received this letter from his part
ner:
The men have gone out on their
threatened strike at last-that is to
say, all save ours. An ugly feeling
prevails. The companies are trying
to get other laborers by train, but the
strikers declare they shall not work
the phosphate beds if they come. 1
fear trouble. Both sides are equally
determined, but the sheriff appears to
be in sympathy with the laborers.
Have you delivered that ultimatum
yet? Be sure that you do not let your
courage ooze out at the last moment.
1t is sure to work.
WILLIAM NJ. JAY
This decided Thomas. He had an
interview with Miss Lowell at once
which must have proved satisfactory.
for that evening he wired his partner
as follows:
viii arrive by o'clock train, or
at latest by 4:40. Have Rev. Whit
man at City HOTEL
Jay smiled, Notwithstanding the SER
iousness of the labor situation, and
went about putting things in readi-
ness; then waited impatiently for the
earliest train. 1t was delayed, for it
was crowded with laborers coming to
take the place of the strikers. and
there came nigh being a wreck at one
place.
At last the o'clock train hove in
sight, but just behind was also the
4:40. What if Colonel Lowell had
learned of the elopement and followed
on the latter? The mob of miners
surrounded both trains. and refused
to let any one get out. There was
great hubbub, and it was made worse
as men in charge of the laborers sue
ceeded in breaking through the Gordon
of miners. There were two or three
shots fired, and, rushing to the win
dow. Thomas saw that Colonel Lowell
had got out of the hindmost train and
was making frantic efforts to reach
the one in which he and Miss Lowell
were. The old gentleman was very
red in the face, and he was not using
the choicest language as the strikers
endeavored to check his advance.
After the report of firearms sounded.
Thomas heard the sheriff demanding
to know who had made matters worse
by such resort to violence. rom

Irish Attorney OutwIts Judge.

A certain judge by the name of
Greene was once trying a case in
which one of the attorneys was unmis-
takably a son of the Emerald isle. The
Judge ruled against the attorney on
several points in manner that the
latter regarded as arbitrary, and fin
ally. just as the judge was about to de-
eide another point. he arose and said:
II hope yer honor will not decide
against me on this point until he has
read the following section from
'Browney on Frauds. - What did
you say was the name of the author?"
inquired the judge. 'Browney, yer
honor; Browne, Browney." My
NAME said the judge, lis spelled
Greene; how would you pronounce
that Greene or 'Greeney'?'' shall re-
serve me judgment on that, yer hon.
or replied the attorney. until the
honorable court has rendered a decis-
ion in the case"

OF the various companies working
the Mill Valley phosphate lands, the
most popular among the employees was
that of Thomas & Jay-a fact chiefly
due to the kindly department and just
ideas Of its members. Walter Thomas,
the junior partner, had gone from
Sibley to Mill Valley and purchased
a considerable tract. and as it proved
rich in phosphates, he was soon on
the road to fortune. few months
afterward he had sold an interest to
Jay, who was in needy circumstances,
although capable business man. The
esteem in which the partners were
held was especially demonstrated dur
ing the first strike of the laborers-
week of rioting, called Black Week
by some of the companies; for Thomas
Jays men remained at work in spite
OF every effort made to bring them
out
few days before Black Week
Thomas announced that he was 60
Ing to claim a month off, averring that
he needed a change.
That's all right, of course" said
Jay. But l trust your health is not
failing, valdez"
No" replied the latter. There
are rumors that many of the men are
dissatisfied with the scale of wages;
do you think you can get along by
yourself if they go out?"
1 think | can. The truth is, | have
no fears as to the course of our en-
ployes. I trust you will return re-
juvenated, so to speak"
There was something in his part
ner's tone that caught the attention
of Thomas. He looked up and noted
droll look on his friends features.
Come, now" said Thomas, slightly
irritated, what is the meaning of
that horrible look?'
rs it horrible?" Jay laughed. at

ton. Look here, Waldo-Im on,

What is it," was as much as
Thomas would agree, drawing at his
cigar with unusual energy.

said Thomas quickly, directing the
sheriff toward Colonel Lowell. He
is the man most to blame; arrest him,
and I think comparative quiet can be
secured"
The sheriff rushed of and seized the
colonel. The latter protested, but
his protests were ignored. He was
dragged off by a deputy at the sug-
gestion of the sheriff, and was soon
out of sight; though before he disap-
peared he shook his fist at Thomas,
who knew by that that he had been
seen, and that the sheriff had in all
probability given the name OF his ac-
cuser to the old gentleman in durance
vile:
Late that evening, while Thomas

MODERN HAROUN.

Wonders of Arabian Nights Survive In
This Eastern Prince.
The most remarkable ruler in the
world in many respects, figure out of
the Arabian Nights" modern Har-
oun al Raschid come again to life and
judgment, such is the maharajah Of
Baroda, the richest and most power
full of Indian princes. The details of
his curious existence have only just be-
come public through an English maya
zine article, in which the maharajah
initiates the emir of Afghanistan in
relating the dry details of his daily
life. II the weather permits the gaek-
war goes out for a drive, always ac-
companied by a splendid escort-the
only way to impress eastern people
with the idea of power Often when
driving through the city petitions are
presented to him, and few hours of
each day are devoted to receiving Pc
titioners in the splendid hall of audi
ence of his million-dollar palace. But
this great potentate is most interest
ing when, clad in the rags OF beggar
or the ash-strewn garb of mad priest,
he sallies out at night TO view his
city. Like the great Haroun al Ras-
child of Arabian Nights" fame, who
travelled in disguise in order to famil-
iarize himself with the ways and do.
lngs of his subjects, the gaekwar visits
different districts III disguise, consult
ing village heads and others he MAY
meet on his rounds. If anything is
more extraordinary than the princes
sharply eontrasted daily life it is that
of the maharanee. She is hidden in
special suite of rooms called the sen-
ana; III an enclosed quarter of the pail
ace, and is never seen By mans eyes:
Her life is an epitome of the real mys;
terry of the east. Yet when in England
or other foreign countries, where she
often visits, her life is the same as
that of any other lady of rank and
riches. She accepts invitations to din
ner, theater, etc, and nothing is
thought of it. The gaekwar and his
maharanee visit England every year.
In doing this they break CASTE" ac-
cording to Hindoo theology. and on
their return have to undergo an elab-
crate ceremony of purification.-Bos-

the parties concerned were residents
of Sibley, and the unsuccessful WOO
ing of Thomas was known and dis
cussed by the gossips, though the
young man was blissfully ignorant of
the talk.
Thomas was handsome, prosperous
in his present undertaking, if he had
not been before in other enterprises,
and was the soul of honor He had,
however. at least two reasons Tor be-
ieving in the assertion of Joaquin
Miller, that
'T tell you that love is the bitterest sweet
That ever laid hold on the heart of a
man."
One was that Colonel Lowell was
unalterably opposed to his marriage
to his daughter, Mary; the other was
that Mary. while confessing her love
for Thomas. was averse to becoming
his wife without the consent of her
father. Two of Colonel I.oyalps

daughters had been compelled to elope,
for their lovers met no favor in his
eyes. His wife considered them with
more favor, and when she asked him
timorously Why he opposed them. Had
to put up with the reply, Just be-
cause I am, and that's sufficient"
The truth was that Thomas was in
need of little advice at the time his
partner made his suggestion. Like
a drowning man, ready to grasp a
straw, he listened with patience to
Jay, now that the subject had been
mentioned. He very naturally asked:
What do you mean by appealing
to the young lady's fear?"
Simply this: Tell her with all the
resolution you can command that you
propose asking her but once more to
listen to love and reason; and that
if she remains obdurate, you are 60
ing away with the firm determination
to forget her. l am quite sure this
will bring her around-she's a wom-
