The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry " of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at a wayside
inn for n cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected TO present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that n two handled cup would prevent
recurrence of this, so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his establishment, the
maid, having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful of
the kings cup, presented 1t TO him by
holding it herself by each of its ham
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of a cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out of
three handles 1 shall be able to get
One"' Hence the loving cup.

MANY years ago. writes n New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
Journal. lit was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all of them, but many of them.
As late as 1850. and probably later, the
cellar of the stone church on Bowdoin
square was used by the Trull distillery
near by pitts street, If l am right for
the ripening in hogsheads of New Eng
land rum. Some one found hymn
book in pew and copied in there the
following verse:
"1'here are spirits above and spirits below,
The spirits OF love and the spirits OF woe.
The spirits above the spirits Of love;
The spirits below are the spirits of woe.
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The spirits below the spirits of wine.
81 have myself frequently watched
the men putting hogsheads of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"

Father Insane, Mother Hope
IessIy Dissipated and Lit
tie Ones Homeless.

Yesterday was kindergarten day in the
probate court, and Judge Bazille was
called upon to dispose Of several I'M
fortunate waits, who were almost as
good as homeless.
The case of Ernest Fraley and Powell
Fraley, seven and nine years old re-
spectively, was sad one. Mrs. Anna
Fraley, mother of the children, resides
on Rice street, and evidence was pro-
duced to show that their father is in
the insane asylum and their mother adj
dicted to drink to such an extent that
she is unable to care for the children.
Rev Father Ogulin was appointed as
their guardian, and his wards will be
sent to the German orphan asylum.
F. A. Ingleheim, a twelye-year-o boy,
was brought into court by his mother,
a widow woman, who has three other
children to support, and she stated that
as the boy is inclined to be wayward
and she could not keep track of him,
she desired him committed to the state
training school at Owatonna. The court
decided to commit him to that institu-
ton.
Charles Mullen, bright-eyed little fell
low, eight years old, was brought into
court by Mrs. Marie Laughlin, who has
cared for him of late, and who explained
that mis- mother is dead and that he had
been abandoned by a cold-hearted step
father. He was turned over to the
Children's Aid society, and an effort will
be made to locate his uncle, who resides
in Wisconsin.

NOT A CRACK SHOT
PATROLMAN LICHAS BULLET EN-
TIERS AUDITORS OFFICE

Patrolman Licha, who stands at Fourth
and Wabasha streets, attempted to shoot
dog shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, but instead of hitting the dog
the bullet struck the asphalt pavement,
and, glancing off, made bee line for the
county auditors office, and broke two
window panes on the Fourth street side.
The dog Is owned by Mrs Ridway,
who rooms at 319 Wabasha street. Ac-
cording to the patrolman's story the ca
nine passed him, and as it did so, snap
ped at him. The dog had done this on
three previous occasions before, and Pa
trolman Licha thinking it was mad or
vicious, drew his revolver and shot at It.
The bullet flew wild, however, and while
the dog ran yelping. across the Wabasha
street bridge, the leaden missile sped on
its way until 1t reached one of the win
dows in County Auditor Johnsolfs Of
