An Illinois Lawyer who Is Glad to

81 am glad to see," said the Chicago
lawyer, that the judges of the higher
courts of New York wear gowns.
They are distinct aid to lawyers ar
guing cases..
''The justices Of the Illinois supreme
court do not wear gowns. came NEAR
losing the last case 1 argued before
that bench because of the eloquent
trousers worn by one of the judges.
They were wonderful to behold and
so wide were the stripes and so strik-
ing the pattern of the cloth that to
save me 1 could not keep from wonder
ing how a man holding high Office
and coming in contact constantly with
men of good taste could have the
hardwood to wear such flashy gar
1nents while sitting in a court of JUS
tice.
NATURALLY such mental speculation
did not add any strength to my argu-
ment, and if hadn't pulled my wits
together and turned my eyes to the
other end Of the bench, am certain
that my case would have failed utter
ly."

HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway Is the Source of Supply for
the Whole of
Europe.

Few perhaps among the tourists
who visit Norway for the pleasures
of its scenery are aware that here
they are at the headquarters of Eu-
ropes ice supply. To the mountain
lakes of that country the continent
looks for it's ice. The ice is of the
finest quality, for the lakes are of
crystal-clear water, high up in the
mountains, and are surrounded by
very tall pines. The ice supply is con-
trolled by syndicates, says Youths
Companion.
After having been cut into great
squares by plows, the blocks of ice
are sent down the mountainside on
slides. On the way they acquire amaz-
ing velocity, and plunge into an in
closed pond beyond which are the ice
ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
1t sometimes happens that through
delay in the starting of the vessels,
or the cutting of unusual quantities
from the lakes to supply exception
al demands, the supply runs short.
Then it is that ice becomes dear, and
even IN winter-time is a luxury that
must be INDUCED in sparingly. But
ice is used in Europe far less COM
monty than in America, and de-
ficient supply does not occasion the
sense of loss that it would in this
country.

WHEAT FIELD IN SHIPS HOLD.
Freak of Nature I'm . British Tramp
steamer Presents q Strange
Sight.

A field of grain in a steamships hold
was one of the curious sights recently
seen in the port of Philadelphia. The
vessel was the British tramp Elwick.
Many persons were attracted to the
ship to view the interesting exhibit,
says report from that city.
The Elwick, under command of Capt.
Clark, has been running between Phil
adelphia and English ports, carrying
wheat and corn in bulk. She returned
from the other side on her last voyage
partially ballasted with dirt. 1t was
owing to the latter that the growth Of
grain was possible.
The interesting discovery was made
bya foremost hand who had occasion
to go into the hold. He reported to
the captain that the Elwick was grow
ing a wheat CROP Capt. Clark made
an investigation and found that such
was indeed the case.
Many grains of wheat remained
secreted in hooks and corners in the
hold after the ship had been dis
charged on the other side, and the
pitching of the vessel on her trip to the
United States caused them to fall upon
the dirt. The grain soon sprouted in
the warm and damp hold and it now
presents a remarkable appearance.

HARDENING A LITTLE QUEEN.
with e1mina of Holland Has Been
Taken Out in All Kinds of
Weather.

1t is incorrect to say "the little
queen of Holland" any longer, al
though for many years yet Wilhel-
nina will be young. She not only has
the gift of youth, but is strong and
well. Ever since she was baby,
writes one of her subjects in the
Pail Mall Magazine, she has been taken
out in all weathers in an open car
rage, and has thus been hardened to
the outer world.
Many who saw the delicate child
Drawing the east winds have trem-
bled for her health; but if these same
doubters saw her, a few years later,
watching the autumn military maneu-
>vers on horseback, on an open moor,
in steady downpour of rain, they
would have acknowledged the COM
plete success of the venture. They
would have seen how the clustering
wind and the little rivulets that
tricl<led from her hat only served to
heighten naturally superb appetite,
which it took many sandwiches from
"mother's" carriage to appease.
The royal hat was tilted back a
little to give the simple luncheon a
chance of keeping dry, and the invi-
tations of mother to take warm
corner in the victoria were banter
ingly refused.
Wilhelmina's soldiers will never
forget that scene on the handkerchief
heath. Perhaps they enjoyed it more
than mother did. She, poor lady! may
have felt like the hen whose chicken
took to the water, only in this case
mother had been teaching the chick.

LESSON WAS NOT NEEDED.
An Incident in stock SpecuIatins
FURRY That Henry CIews
Does Not Tell.

Henry Clews, the New York stock
broker, is very kindly man and de-
lights in doing good. Naturally he
figured to some extent in the recent
Wall street operations, and a story
is told of him that he has vainly
tried to sidetrack, says New York
exchange.
An army officer stationed in the
Philippines has been sending home
his salary for his wife to save. She
sought to add to it by taking a flyer
in Wall street. She had invested
every dollar of her husbands savings,
and in the recent panic all were
swept away. She appealed to Henry
Clews, with whose firm she had dealt.
"If L show you the way to get
your money back, will you promise
me that you will not speculate
again?" asked the broker.
Indeed l WILL" tearfully assented
the woman.
"Well, here's your money; now keep
out of the market"
Clews said afterward that he had
not invested the money.
A broker in the Waldorf-Astoria
cafe who listened to the story
laughed.
swell, that's one on Clews. That
woman brought the money right to
my office and asked me to buy Della
ware & Hudson for it. 1 did so, and
she made $5,400"

KING OF ITALY'S DISCOVERY,
Cause of Victor En,manuers UnpOpu-
larity with His Civil
Servants.

There is an element of the unex-
pected about King Victor Emmanuel
which is beginning to render him
his subjects. l suppose all the world
over civil-service clerks are more as
siduous than any others in their eff
forts to render their positions sine
cures, but in Italy they reach the acme
of perfection in this respect. The
other morning Sig. Prinetti, minister
of foreign affairs, went, as usual, to
the Quirinal for the royal signature
to various documents, which the king
signed without comment until he ar
rived at one for the augmentation of
the staff of the foreign Office. "This,"
he said, to the surprise of the minis
ter, you may leave; L desire to look
into it," and there the matter ended
for the moment, says the Rome COR
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette.
The next morning his majesty went
out alone and on foot, arriving at the
foreign Office about nine o'clock, and
began a tour of discovery, we may
call it, in search of some one to
speak to. At last in a small room
toward the roof he came upon a lone
man busily engaged in-rolling
cigarette. "Ah!" said the king, "you
are already at your work; pray what
are the regulation morning hours in
this Officer" "From eight to twelve"
stammered the unhappy man, wish
ing his bad luck had not led him so
early out of bed. "And what hour,
may 1 ask, can 1 hope to see your
catalogues?" "About H." the en-
barrassed clerk replied, too confused
not to tell the truth. "Oh, well, go
on with your smoke, and tell your
chief of my visit when he comes"
which, of course, was done, causing
dismay to reign supreme in the
breasts of the 3O0-odd clerks thus
caught mapping. Meanwhile the min
lister was called and dryly told that
instead of increasing the staff of the
office it might be just as well to see
that those already there did their
duty.

caught by screw ou a revolving

flesh and bones. His two legs and
one arm were completely severed
from the body (wrenched), his neck
