When Elias Goldenoerg, BeIcovitcb,s
head cutter, bethrothe himself to FANNY
Fersht, the prettiest Of the lnachinists,
the Gretto blessed the match, always ex-
cepting Sugarman, the Shadchan (whom
love matches shocked), and Goidenberg's
relatives Who considered Fanny fighty
and fond of f1nery).
Fanny was cut out for a rich mans
wife" insisted Goldenbergs aunt. shak-
ing her pious wig
HE who marries Fanny is Itch" re-
torted Elias.
Pawn your hide but get a Lride ,,
quoted the old lady savagely.
AS for the sighted marriage broker he
demonstrated almost like relative.
But 1 didn't want a negotiated mar
rage" Elias protested
A love marriage I could also have ar
ranged for you," replied Sugarman in
dignantly
But Elias was quite content with his
own arrangements, for Fanny:s glance
was melting and her touch transporting

engagement ring, months wages had
not seemed disproportionate, and Fanny
mashed the diamond bewitohingly 1t lit
up the gloomy workshop with it's signal
of felicity. Even Belcovitch, bent over his
press iron, sometimes omitted to rebuke
Fanny badinage
Inc course of true love seemed to nm
straight TO the canopy-Fanny had al
ready worked the bridegroom's prayin-
shawi-When suddenly a storm broke AZ
Irst me cloud was no bigger taan a
mans hand-in fact, it was a mans
mana. Ellas espied it cropping for Fan
ny IN the dim space between the i've
machlnes. AS Fanny's fingers fil5ttered
towards it, her other hand still guarding
the cloth under the throbbing needle
Elias felt the needle stabbing his heart
up and down, through and through.
The very finger that held his costly
ring lay in this alien paw, gratis.
The shameless mink! An, MS relatives
We're right. He snapped his scissors
sayagely, like dragons jaws
Fanny, what dost thou!'' he gasped in
Yiddish.
Fan1ly's face famed; her guilty fingers
flew back. Il thought thou vast on the
other side" she breathed.
Elias snorted, ineredulous.
As soon as Sugarman heard of the
breaking OF the engagement, he flew to
Elias, his blue bandanna streaming from
his coat-tail
"If you had come to me-, he crowed.

able article. However, heaven has given
you second helping. A well-bu1t wage
Garner like YOU can look as nigh as Il

Il never wish to look upon woman
again" Elias groaned.
'sTschuss!" said the great marriage
broker. 'Three days after the Fast Of
Atenement comes the Feast Of Taber-
nacles. The Almighty. blessed be He,
who created both light and darkness, has
made obedient females as well as plels-
Ure seekers And he blew his nose en-
phatically into his bandanna.

What Sugarman gasped. ''Then she
considers herself still engaged to your

'And she has given you back your

Sugarman sharply.

Elias had time to dissent from the bar

Fanny indecorously put a finger to her

Sugarman desperately, through the clos

Surprise and curiosity brought her eyes

His feet are too larger And she flick

THE LAWS DELAY.

Gov. Odell. Of New York, has called
the attention of the legislature to an
abuse of justice of long standing in New
York city. The laws delays are exempli-
fed perhaps as forcibly in the great me-
tropolis as elsewhere in the world. A
lawyer puts his case on the general cal
endar of the courts down there, and rare
ly has any expectation that it will ap-
pear again for some two years or over.
On its appearance on the day calendar
there is deal of delay and trouble.
necessitating the appearance Of lawyers,
witnesses and litigants in court, day
after day, often with the result of seeing
the case go over to the next term.
The principal remedy which the gov
ernor suggests is the one of having the
supreme judges work longer hours He
declares that his information shows that
the judges only work four and d half
hours a day five days of the week, and
suggests that they might without injury
to themselves increase their court hours
25 per cent. He also suggests the tenn
porary remedy Of taking from the county
courts certain judges who are especially
qualified, and adding them to the su-
preme court, with view to putting an
end to the congestion of business which
is visible in the courts of New York and
Kings counties.
The evil of the existing condition is
palpable and notorious. There is no
reason why Htigants in New York should
not have their business disposed of by
their courts relatively as promptly as
any other form of public business is
transacted. There can be nothing what
ever said in excuse or mitigation of the
existing situation. The press of bus ness
has nothing to do with it. The county
or state is called on to furnish enough
judges to enable the business to be done,
no matter how great it's volume.
In Ramsey county the district court
is able to dispose of its business as
quickly as it presents itself. When a
lawyer ties what is called his note of
issue and the cause is placed on the cal
endar it is called for trial on the first day
of the next term of the court, is set
down for the most convenient cay, and is
tried on that day unless the attorneys
agree to postpone it. A notice of trial is
required to be served twelve days before
the opening of the term; but; quite often,
when the issues are made up after it is
too late to give the required notice for
the next ensuing term, the case is put on
the next term calendar by mutual agree
ment, and disposed Of Often the case is
tried and judgment entered within a
week of the time that the pIeadings are
filed
Whether or not Gov OdeH has found
the true cause of the trouble in the
shortness of the work hours of the court
judges in New York, the remedy ap-
piled should be one which would give
results just as satisfactory as those
which are produced day by uay here in
st. Paul.

have arrived so far as ST. Paul is
concerned. A very large very fashion

at the Metropolitan theater last night
welcomed the bands return to the city.
Bravos were shouted at the energetic

the ''La Gioconda" number on the pro-
gramme. But if not so demonstratWeIy
