successful farmer in the county.
He was indignant over the insult Of
fered the jury, and determined that
for one he would not submit to it.,
provided he could resent it without
going to Jail, relates the New York
Tribune.
So at the recess for dinner Mr..
Westray approached the judge and
asked him, as matter of law apper-
tanning to the prerogatives of a
judge, if he, the judge, had any au-
thority of law to say what he did to
the jury. Judge Shipp answered that
he certainly did have that right by
law, otherwise he would not have ex-
ercised it. Mr.. Westray then put this
question: Judge Shipp, if 1 should
here and now proceed to give you a
genteeI thrashing for what you said
to the jury, would you take it like a
man for your part as an individual,
or.would you fall back on your judi
cial prerogatives and put me in jail?'''
I The judge said in that event the
prerogatives would come into play
and be mighty handy, and that he
would board Mr.. Westray at the ex-
pense of the county for two years
Mr.. Westray then said: "Very well,
judge, if that be the case, we will
forego the thrashing,'s and walked
off.

BALLAD OF PLYMOUTH WASH.
ING.

When Capt standish, of Plymouth town.
Gable and strong While the weak went
DOWN.
With the six good men left sound and well,
I.abored for all, strange things befell!
Half o. the folk were under the snow;
Famine and fever had laid them low;
And the sick, too feeble for work or care,
Were burden the seven men must bear:
Guardians, nurses, and servlng-men,
Thev showed the stuff they were made OF
then!
Nothing too lowiy they found to do,
Nor shirked to try when little they knew.
They cooked. they cleaned, and their rough
hands tried
Tho tasks the women's had thrown aside.
They soothed and tended as oest thes
might;
They mothered the orphaned babes at night.
They gathered the garments foul, forgot.
And linen stripped from the fever-cot,
And sturdily faced, as a foe at bay.
The toilsome terrors of washing-day!
Rrows bent sternly and anxious eye,
Weapon unslung and sleeves rolled hlgh,
Brawny back bent over the tub,
Great hands awkward to wiring and rub.
And lean. strong arms in the sudsy snow
Tossing the linen to and fro
Strange to the peering sick folks eyes p
Capt. Standish in such a guise!
Bold Miles Standish, grim at your tub
Down through the years we see you rub,
And the water that whitens the web you
hold
Brightens your name till it shines like gold
Clear and clean o. the pride of war!
Was fame e'er won at the wash before?
Never a care for praise or blame,
Never a thought of mock or shame
Soldier and captain, brave O. the brave,
Drudging ungrudging, to serve and save!

Freddie started. There seemed to
be something in psychics. His funereal
face relaxed trif1e.
The Yelled Lady was jovial, fat
little prophecies, and she seemed to
like Freddie's looks. She took off her
veil after the first formal moment,
and even offered to send out for beer, if
Freddie was dry. But Freddie didn't
want any beer. He wanted clairvoy-
ance.

"and I'll go into psychic state and

Freddie started again. The Yelled

her his story, omitting names and
points of Identification, of course, and
the most narrowing details.
It seemed more tragic and hopeless

me cent now. You go home and
try my sch eme. Then come around next
week and pay me just what you think
it's worth. Is that fair?"
Freddie didn't like the plan. He
wanted to be rid of the Yelled Lady.
He offered to compromise for five dol
lars, then for ten. He would have
paid the $50, finally, but the Yelled
Lady pushed him gently to the door
and out. Sheseemed to like the prop
osition the more she thought of it.
"That's all right" she said. "You
come around next week. But be sure
and do it absent-minded, darling"
Then she shut her door and Freddie
made for the open air. #.s
His wife dined at home the next
night Freddie hadn't the remotest in
tention of making fool of himself on
the Yelled Lady's prescription, but
Mrs. Freddie was so wholly unrespon.
sive and bored that in sheer despera-
tion he had said before he knew it:
"What have you been doing to-day,
Flossie dear?" .F
Mrs. Freddie looked up with sud-
denness that jolted Freddie
"What did you say?" she asked.
81 merely asked you what you had
been doing to-day" said Freddie.
"Well, what" asked Mrs. Freddie,
"did you call me?"
She hadn't looked at Freddie with
such interest for six months. Freddie
couldn't believe his senses. -
"Why, 'Mildred,' suppose, what
else?" asked Freddie, lying without a
CULVER. Then in two dozen words she
told him of her doings that day.
Two nights later Freddie was doz-
ing on the library couch, when his
wife came home from dinner. She
passed by him and he put out his hand
and seized her sleeve.
"Hello, Flossie, DEAR" said Freddie,
sleepily.
Freddie weighs at least 600 pounds
when he is sleepy, but she had him by
the shoulders sitting upright in less
than it takes to tell it.
"Freddie-Freddie Lawrence" she
demanded, her eyes and cheeks blazing

Suitable nomenclature for the yes
sells of a national navy is not always
an easy thing to arrive at, but the
method adopted by the United States
seems to be the most satisfactory. The
naming of u fighting vessels after
the States Of the Union and after the
principal cities of the country is much
more significant than to christen them
with such high-sounding titles as Her.
enles. Ajax, Agamemnon and the like.
It typifes in a way the Union itself
and localizes interest in our navy more
than anything else could do. It is a
matter Of pride with q State or a city
to have a warship named after it, and
