A Pair of Lovers.

Two American men in Venice spent
their first evening loafing round the
Iagoons in n gondola, it being moon
light. of course, and all the rest of the
sentimental, charming things it is al
ways in Venice.
Here comes a gondola," stage whis-
pered one American to the other, ''that
probably contains pair of lovers. See
how absorbed those two dim figures
evidently are in each other. Gondolier,
other gondolas, the witchery OF the
moonlight and the place-to all of it
they are oblivious. oh, what spot for
sentiment! The air is full of it"'
And as the two gondolas glided past
each other the Americans heard the
unmistakable accents of fellow coun-
tryman, "I'll see your three and raise
you five."-Philadelphia Record.

CURIOUS LINE OF DEFENSE.
Hold Instructions Wrong Under Which,
Accused Was Acquitted.

Omaha, Ner.. June 13.-The state
has concluded Introducing its evidence
in the Callahan perjury case and rested
its case. About one-half of the wit
nesses who testified at the robbery
trial We're called TO the stand. The de-
fenSe began by Offering part of the
record and the Instructions of the
court, in which the jury was instruct
ed that if Callahan was associated
with the kidnaper and had anything to
do with the kidnapping, even though
personally absent at a great distance
from the scene, of the deposit of the
money. he was guilty of robbery.
The contention OF the defense is
that the Instructions were wrong, and
that there was not properly trial for
robbery, so that the testimony of Cal
lahan ut that time was not material;
and further, that inasmuch as the
court held as it did. all those things
have been passed on by a jury. and
that Callahan has already been in
jeopardy for the things with which he
is now in effect charged.

asked what the charge would be for
joining them in the holy bonds of mat
rimOny. He said that his price was
81.
John thought that the price was too
high, but he could not convince the
justice that he was entitled to the cut
rate, so they wended their way to Jus
tice Devoe, where the same talk was
repeated. He also refused to make Il
cut price and John said that he could
get the job done for less money at
Mount Morris. and that he did not pro-
pose to pay the price asked by the
justices of Flushing. and accordingly
he took his intended and went to
Mount Morris, where the knot was
tied. The price paid the justice at
Mount Morris is not known.
