ceived his picture of Fagin, the Jew.
During the time he was illustrating

Of a face that would correspond with
his conception Of the character. One
day while standing before a mirror in
his dining room pulling faces at him
SELF" so to speak, for the want of
something better to do, he accidentally
made the features for which he was
looking. The picture therefore of
Fagin is really that of Cruikshank him
self,

"Look at the sweet little baby, my
dear! Is she not pretty?"

fully aware from the servants of the
household that the new arrival will
usurp his past privileges as an only
child, exclaimed with secret exulta-
ton:
"Auntie says that pretty babies grow
up ugly"
Maybe they do" assented the nurse,
unable to forbear smile.
But the smile was lost upon BERTHE.
He stood for a moment in meditative
mood, and then, glancing up from his
contemplation of baby's features to
those of the nurse, he said with child
| ish confidence:
Nurse, you must have been a very
pretty baby"

Tenemeuts Turned TO Sign Roards.

The night of July 8 was celebrated in
the usual manner this year, and in addi-
ton to the noise and harmless fun some
one INDUCED in acts of inexcusable van
daEsm by painting on C. J. Bundy's three
Main street houses. The notices are in
bold letters, and the entire repainting Of
the sides of the houses on which they
are displayed will be necessary. In add.
ton to the letters quantities of paint
were daubed in various places, giving
the buildings anything but an attractive
appearance. The painter or painters are
not known at this writing. Mr.. and
Mrs Bundy were away at the time and
have not returned,
Clements Chances.
The discussion Of state politics which
had almost ceased since the state coll
vention, has been revived by the an
announcement of Clements candidacy,
and there is much speculation concern
ing what the result OF his running would
be in Lyndon. There are those who be-
lieve that the majority of the democrats
would support Clement if he is nomi
mated but strong sentiment against
such a move is easily detected. A hot
campaign is sure to be the portion of
Lyndon.

An English Kings Death.

William Rufus was killed by an ar
row, either accidental or with murder
GUS intent. He died in the New for
est, his body was stripped by tramps
and the next day was found by a char
coal burner, who placed the naked
corpse on his cart, hoping to receive a
reward. On the way to Winchester
the cart was upset, and the kings body
fell in the mire. Covered with filth
and black with charcoal, it arrived in
Winchester, where it was buried in the
cathedral. A few years later the tow
err fell and crushed the tomb, and GOO
years after the Puritans rifed the
grave and played football with the
kings skull.

At the court of assizes in Venice,
when sentence of death is about to be
passed, a man clothed in a long black
robe enters the court, and advancing
to the bench bows profoundly to the
Judges, saying, Remember the baker!
Then he bows again and retires. Here
is the explanation of the custom:
Three centuries ago a baker was exc
cuted at Venice for crime OF which
he was not guilty. When his inno-
cence was fully proved, the judges who
condemned him invested a sum of
money, the interest on which serves to
keep a lamp perpetually lighted in the
palace of the doges, this being called
the lamp of expiation." In addition,
their fatal mistake has for 300 years
been held up as warning to their sue
cessors on the bench when they are
about to infict the extreme penalty OF
the law.
