The sensation in the Mr.. William Vance
Hill-Etta Garrett Mallory case in the
Hastings Court yesterday was entirely
different from what was expected by the
ga ping throng of spectators that had
gathered to hear the evidence in the case,
and it brought the trial to a sudden ter
mination.
When the case had been opened and
the charge against Mr.. Hill of failure to
keep his promise of marriage had been
read, Miss Mallory took the stand. She
said that she had made a mistake III
her testimony in the Police Court when
she stated that Mr.. Hill had promised to
marry her. Then she said that he had
not done So and in this statement the
case for the prosecution collapsed. and
a nolle prcsequi was entered and Mr..
Hill discharged.

that a manager once said he could new

engaged no monkeys.
Perrot told them the story, and, when
Duprez laughed at him, Perrot said;

'You monkey" said Duprez, ''this diff

The following is one of the stories
told about Eugene Field:
There were visitors in prospect one
afternoon in the Field household and
a strike in the culinary department.
Mischief was at food tide, and Mrs.
Field was vainly endeavoring to be
everywhere at once, when the man of
"sharps and flats" appeared in the
kitchen doorway with a folio in his
hand.
"Oh, won't you watch those pies for
me while l run upstairs an instantF'
his wife exclaimed. "Be sure not to
let the meringue scorch-it would ruin
them; you'd better give me that book
or they'll be burned to a crisp" With
mock meekness Mr.. Field allowed her
to carry off his treasure. On returning
she was Mortified to find the oven door
wide open and the rich, fluffy meringue
fat, tough and leatherlike.
They're ruined!' she exclaimed in
dismay. "Why didn't you keep the
oven door. shut?"
tKeep the door shut!' Mr.. Field
repeated in very genuine amazement.
"Why, you told me to watch them ev-
cry instant, and I'd like to know how
l could do that with the oven door

Sleeping in the open air has passed
the life limit of a fad and assumed
the proportions of habit. 1t is, more
over, a growing habit. the motto of
which is with nothing between you
and the sky" Only in summer is it
possible to push this habit to the ex-
IRENE, of course, and even then so
meager are the sky accommodations
of the average home relatively few
can enjoy the luxury indicated in the
motto.
The number of persons who take to
tents and repose in hammocks swung
in the open air in the summer. how
ever, increases each year. This Is par
ticularly true of young children, hun
dreds of whom during the past sum-
mer were emancipated from stuffy
nurseries and given their maps on piaz-
zas and balconies or upon the hand
breadth of grass plot dignified by the
name of 'dooryard' in city homes.
Such children in their plump beauty
and infantile good nature are the best
possible witnesses of the efficacy OF

speaking, it is q preventive instead

Long and short Hair.

Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc-
ton. Subsequently the Athenian cav
airy and all Lacedamonian soldiery
wore long hair. The Parthians and an
cient Persians wore long. flowing hair.
The Franks and ancient Teutons con-
sidered long hair a mark of high birth.
The Goths looked on long hair as
mark of honor and on short hair as
mark of thraldom. So did the Gauls,
Tor which reason Julius Caesar, when
he subdued them, obliged them to cut
their hair short in token of submission.
In England judges, the speaker of
the house of commons and at one time
the bishops wore long hair, while Grim
inals and paupers wore short hair. On
the other hand, Jewish priests during
their time of service had their hair cut
once q fortnight, and Roman slaves
wore their hair and beard long, but
shaved their heads when manumitted.
Sailors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as if manumitted
from the sea. In Ezekiel V, l, there is
mention of "barber's razor" with in
structions to thou. son of man. take
thee a BARRIERS razor and cause it to
pass upon thine head and upon thy
beard"

"What will you take" said Sheri-
dan, "for shot at those ducks"
The man looked at him with aston

"Will half a crown do?"
The man nodded and Sheridan gave
him the half crown, taking his shot
at the ducks. About half a dozen fell
dead. AS he was preparing to bag
them he said to the man: Il think on

One day in autumn we all rode to Ken
nythoi Pc Flora was anything but an
intrepid horsewoman, but she looked very
beautiful in her habit, and Drayton West
rode by her side. 1t was surely the finger
of fate that drew meek or Nothing" to
Kenny; 1Orpe that day, for as we cantered
down the High street we saw him riding
toward us. Meek or Nothing" rides that
sort of a horse you can hit with stump
and it doesn't mind. He called it Welsh
pony, and people said it was hollow, for
its sides reverberated like drum as he
clattered along the road and belabOred
them. AT the sound of his approach our
horses laid back their ears and began TO
fidget, and there seemed some possibility
of 9 stampede, when all of a sudden
fresh incident occurred which engaged
everybody's attention. We happened to
be on the bridge which crosses the slug
gish little river Kenny when there rose
sudden clamor, and we saw child strug-
Cling in the water.
Flora went very white.
"Oh do save itn' she cried.
Drayton West dismounted Immediately
and as he did so he glanced at his late
rival and could scarcely repress a laugh,
for, quick as thought, meek or Nothing"
had dashed from his horse and leaped
upon the parapet of the bridge. The next
instant we saw him throw his arms above
his head and dive deliberately into a cou-
pie of feet of water and half a foot OF
mud. Scared before, the child screamed
with redoubled vigor at this fresh calam-
ity, and Drayton West ran down the
bank at the side of the bridge and drew
her into safety with the handle of his
hunting crop. When Meek or Nothing
had got some of the mud out of his eyes
and found, after great deal of founder
ing, that he was standing in about two
feet of water, he discovered that the res
cue had been gracefully accomplished and
the assembled company was incapable with

no doubt as to the emotion which brought
them there.
Alas for the schemes of mice and men,

out as Drayton West had intended. We
waited while "Neck or Nothing" got

Flora's horse had rather more of the
Welsh pony's company than it cared
about.
