Der of the New Orleans bar who had
been gathered to his fathers, and one of

Eve had a copying clerk whose inef6-

to a point of explosion. One day wire
basket fell of the top Of his desk and
scratched his cheek. Not having any
court plaster, he slapped on three post
age stamps and went on with his work.
"a little later he had some papers to
take to the United States court, and for
getting all about the stamps, he put on
his hat and went out.

raised his head and fixed him with an
astonished stare. The clerk stopped
and looked frightened, and finally asked:
Anything er-wrong, sir?'"
asYes, sir" thundered the old gentle
man. ''You are carrying too much

How Term BLACK Maria" Originated.

How Term BLACK Maria Originated.
The following is given as the origin Of
the term BLACK Maria" When New
England was filled with emigrants from
the mother country a negress named
Maria Lee kept a sailors boarding house
in Boston. She was a woman of great
strength, and helped the authorities to
keep the peace. Frequently the police
invoked her aid, and the saying, Send
for Black Maria" came to mean, 'Take
him to Jail" Brstish seamen were often
taken to the lookup by this amazon, and
the stories they spread of her achieve
ments led to the name of Black Maria
being given to the English prison van
New York Tribune.
