Strange and unreasonable laws guar
anteed to the headsman his full share
of emoluments. He was well paid for
his work and never suffered from n
dull season. From the towns he re-
ceived poultry and fodder, from the
monasterics fish and game. The Alb
baye de Saint German gave him every
year n pigs head; the Abbaye de Saint
Martin five loaves of bread and five bot
ties of wine. Cakes were baked for him
on tho eve of Epiphany. For each leper
in the community he eXacted-heaven
knows why-a tax at Christmas time.
Les files de joie were his vassals. 1t
was his privilege to seize in the market
place us much corn as he could carry
away in his hands, and the peasants
thus freely robbed submitted without
murmur, crossing themselves with fer
vor as he passed. He had the power to
save from death any woman on her
way to the scaffold, provided he were
able and willing to marry her. He was
the first official called to the body of a
suicide. and, standing on the dead
mans breast, he claimed as his own
everything he could touch with the
point of his long sword.-Agnes Rep

How inertia Covert Protected Her
Grandfather and saved His
Hurd-Earned Money.

There is a white-haired man in the
state Of New York who thinks that it
would be hard to find a brayer girl
than inertia Covert. inertia is his own
granddaughter. but that fact does not
alter his opinion.
One day Just as the winter was clos
ing the grandfather, Joseph Covert,
and inertia were driving from Middle
town to their country home. Both
were feeling unusually light hearted,
for Mr.. Covert had disposed of some
cattle very PTofitably and was carry
ING home several hundred dollars. At
a lonely spot in the hilly road two
strangers met them, stopped the
horses and attempted to spring into
the sleigh. The old man realized at
once what their purpose was, and
made desperate efforts TO protect his
property, but he was helpless in their
hands. Neither of them paid any at
tention to the girl, but inertia, who has
a pair of strong arms of her own, and
courage 10 match. had no intention of
quietly looking on TO see her grand
father robbed.
Snatching up the whip. she welded
II vigorously. One of the men she
knocked from the sleigh at the Erst
blow. Leaning forward, she lashed
tSe horses to a run, and then a. the
sleigh Ieaped ahead she gave her at
+ention to the second man, who appar-
entity lost courage on finding himself
abandoned. In a moment he. too,
dropped off into the snow, and inertia
and her grandfather triumPhantly
went on their way with the money tn"
girl had so bravely defended.

CLARK BEATS JONES.
Eryan's Manager Defeated in Ar
kansas Legislative Fight.
Victor Is an Eccentric Chap and u
Halter from Way Back-His Rec
ord as Governor Marked by
Bold Decision.

BY defeating James X. Jones, for
mer manager of Bryan's campaign, IN,
their recent senatorial battle, eX-Gov.
James p. Clark, of Arkansas, has once
more demonstrated the eccentric tight
ing qualities which have made him SO
prominent as we'll as so bizarre tig-
ure in western politics.
Jones has already served one term
as United States senator for Arkan-
sas. He came up for reelection, his
chief opponents being Gov. Jetferson
Davis and eX-GoV. Clark. Davis quick
ly dropped out, leaving the struggle
between Jones and Clark. The latter
after hot campaign, proved the VIC
tor.
Ex-GOv. Clark, although only Il
years old, has had long and decidedly
eventfuI-not TO say tumultuous-pO-
litical career.
He is in many respects, says the New
York World, the typical western
statesman. the sort seen of late mora
often on the stage than in real life.
He is a character essentially American,
and as incongruous in our present sem
ate as a mailed visigoth at a village
prayer meeting.
"Old Cotton Top" as Clark has been
nicknamed, on account of his Sow
white hair. is very tall, lean and
straight as an indian, with a hand
some. distinguished face and a man
ner whose outer dignity al times fails
to cloak the impulsiveness and even
ferocity of the inner man.
He is a man who has ever stood firm
on all points where he believed honor
TO be involved, and who, in defense Of
his principles, has made hosts of enc
mics. damaged his political prospects
and has even been carried to the point
Of physical violence.
Clark's first public office of note was
that Of attorney general Of Arkansas.

COURT PROTECTS WIDOW.
L0Ve-siek Prisoner Is Forbidden by
= Chicago Judge TO Call on
Woman He AdOres.

Frank Yinker was told by a Chicago
justice the other day that he must not
annoy Mrs. Annie Zappergolka, a
widow, of 172 West Fourteenth street,
who caused his arrest a few days ago
because he persisted in laying his
heart and soul at her feet. Yinker ex-
planned TO the justice that he was in
love with the widow, and he believed
he could not go through this life with
out her.
4 can't help that" answered Yin
ker. "She is the only woman | ever
loved, and l want to marry her. I
will make her my wife at this moment
if she will only consent"
Il wouldn't have him" answered the
widow. Il don't want him to come
to my home, and l want him to keep
away from me. have told him re-
peatedly not to call on me, but he in
sists."
Yinker looked appealingly at the
woman, only to receive a cold look
from her.
Forgive me" he pleaded, as he held
out his hands. Let me come back
and I'll be good"
mo, sir; you can never come back,
and l want you to take your presents
back and never bother me any more"
was the answer.
The justice told the prisoner that
if the widow objected to his calling
on her he must cease.
"But l must return there and get
my presents back" he pleaded.
He can't come into my home. l
will throw the presents through win
dow" insisted the complainant.
The Ioye-sick prisoner gave his con-
sent and followed the widow to her
home There through an open win
dow punches of letters and other ar
ticles were thrown TO him, and Yin
ker walked sadly away.

isfactiOn, and so thoroughly convinced
his party Of his integrity and ability
that he was brought forward as candi-
date for governor.
Soon after his election il became evi-
dent that he possessed aggressive
qualities which were far more notice
able in that exalted post than they had
proved while he was merely attorney
general.
As governor he suddenly brought
himself and his state before the pub
lie eve by his action in the proposed
bett-Fitzsimmons fight.
Corbett was at that time champion
heavy-weight pugilist of the world.
Fitzsimmons had challenged him, the
articles had been signed, and all that
remained was 10 fix on a place where
the fight could occur without legal in
reference.
Hot Springs. Ark, was at last chosen
All ARRANGEMENTS were made. the date
was set for October. 1895; every legal
obstacle was apparently cleared away
and the fight seemed a certainty. Bat
at this iuncture Gov Clark quietly fOF-
bade the men to hold the contest in Ar
kansas, declaring il Illegal. This unex-
pected fat reused the liveliest sort OF
opposition from all sides. Protests
poured in. a mass meeting was held.
money is said TO have been offered in
enormous sums, influential statesmen
and politicians urged the governor TO
/ abandon his attitude Of resistance. 1t
was pointed out that be was antagoniz-
ing the people and endangering his fu-
/ ture career.
The only effect Of all these pleadings
was to strengthen the governor in his
decigion that the fight should not come
of in Arkansas.
When it was suggested that means
might be taken to circumvent his au-
thority he raked up an old statute
which empowered the governor TO or
ganize an army Of 100 600 men. if neces-
eary, and take possession Of any sec
tion of the state. holding it until Or
der was restored.
Clark threatened TO raise such an
army and, with himself at its head, 10

refusal TO permit the fight TO go on.
This proved a death-blow TO the
fighters hopes, but it was, perhaps. al.
