A COMEDIANS TRICK.
Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest
and HID His Debts Paid,

Many amusing stories are told Of Joe
Haines. comedian of the time of
Charles H.. sometimes called Count
one morning by two hailiffs for debt
of f20 when he saw Il bishop to whom
he was related passing along In his
coach. With ready resource he imme-
diatcly saw loophole for escape, and,
turning to the men. he said, Let me
speak to his lordship, to whom l am
well known, and he will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The bailiffs thought they might ven.
ture this, as they were within two or
three yards of t1le coach, and acceded
to the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took off his hat to the bishop. His
lordship ordered the coach to stop,
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples Of conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest
ing that his lOrdship should invite them
to his house and promise to satisfy
them. The bishop agreed, and, calling
to the bailiffs, he said, You two men
come to me tomorrow morning, and
will satisfy you"
The men bowed and went away
pleased. and early the next day waited
on his lordship, who when they were
ushered in, said. "Well, my men, what
are these scruples Of conscience"
"Scruples?" replied one of them. I'VE
have no scruples. We are bailiffs, my
lord, who yesterday arrested your cou-
sin, Joe Haines for a debt of EGO, and
your lordship kindly promised to salts
fy u.s."
The trick was strange, but the result
was stranger, for his lordship, either
approaching its cleverness or consider.
ing himself bound by the promise he
had unintentionally given, there and
then settled with the men in full.

KRUGER'S NEW HOME.
Description of the Ex-BOer Presi-
dents Residence at Utrecht.

The new dwelling which Mr.. Kruger
occupies at Utrecht. Holland. is called
"Oranjelust." meaning Orange joy" or
flavor" which is somewhat appropri-
ate, seeing the favor VIII which he
was treated by the one remaining men,
Der of the house of Orange here, the
queen of the Netherlands.
Oranjelust is separated from the
public pathway by an iron railing and
stands in a small garden. The garden
is fianked with bushes, and the center
space is occupied with a rockery.
Around the latter tulips have been
planted to represent the Transvaal flag,
and when they bloom the "Vierkleur'
will be just in front Of Dom Paul's
window.
Oom's part of the house is the right
hand lower portion, consisting of re-
ception room, bedroom and dining
room. The first of these is deliberately
fitted up in the style of Louis XIV, the
walnut furniture being Upholstered
with green material worked with lilies
in white. The curtains are of green
stuff also.
Mr.. Krugers bedroom suit is of oak,
upholstered in green, and there are
green curtains to the windows. But
the dining room is the wonder of those
who are fortunate enough to get peep
into it. Oak upholstered with red leath-
er and red plush curtains, the chamber
has very warm appearance. The car
pet comes from Smyrna. 1t is most
elaborate piece of work. 1t will be re-
membered that dark green is the color
Of Mr.. Kruger's livery.
The remaining portion of the house
is for the eX-presdent's followers.
while two doors farther up the road the
family of the Eloffs have taken up
their sbode. Some time ago DR.. Leyds
took a house in the town, so that now
the entire Boer court is close together.
and Mr. Kruger only needS'to blow a
