THE JEDGE's STORY.
usDt the Colonel Excited and He Took
the Party to See a "Fero-
ciOus" Tiger.

Ibid YOU hear about that ferocious
tiger at the Zoo and the visit of the
colonel and the jedge to see him?"
asked the old rounder, according to the
Washington Star. 1.-THE colonel and
the ledge were taking few juleps the
other evening, when the conversation
turned on wild animals. / was there.
Well, the jedge told about the prodi-
gious ferocity of the panthers which
Turk in the Mississippi cane brakes,
and for an hour kept our hair stand
ing on end.
t1he colonel, not to be outdone, said
that there was tiger out at the Zoo
which for ferocity and all the traits OF
savagery had the panthers of Missisip-
nj beat city block The jedge got in
terested and allowed he would like to
see any monster that could surpass the
brake panther of his own land,
The colonel said he would take him
out there first thing in the morning
and show him.
eve decided that in order to make
sure of getting an early start we would
sit up all night. So when all the reg
ular places had closed we went around
to the club with the colonel and stayed
there until four o'clock, when some
of the downtown places open, and we
could get another drink.
t.By this time our interest in the Zoo
! tiger had risen to fever feat Actually
we would shiyer at some Of the
colonel's descriptions of the fierceness
. of this beast. The jedge was almost
ready to throw up the sponge and al
low that the cane-brake panthers were
beaten.
eve took the first car out to the
Zoo and were there when the doors
were opened. The colonel led us
straight to the tigers cage. Sure
enough, he was a terrible monster,
and we chung to each other and gazed.
= Gust then colored boy came along
with q broom Before our terrified
gaze and before we could raise de-
sisting hand he had entered the tigers
cage. We turned our heads to avoid
the fearful sight we expected to ensue-
But no; that boy went up to that tiger
and whacked him in the ribs with his
broom, making the tiger move over to
the other side of the cage while he
swept up; then he whacked him again
and pushed him around in the most
.scanda1ous manner.
''The jedge looked at the colonel and
the colonel looked at the jedge, and
then we went sadly home"

Girls a Living sacrince.

A St. Petersburg newspaper relates
that a young woman was found lying
on the beach of the gulf of Finland be-
hind the Sergievo monastery, 10 miles
from this city. with terribly burned feet
and legs. She had on monks cassocK
and said she had been reading religious
books and had concluded that self-1n-
cineration was the only sure means of
salvation. The girl attended services at
the monastery and then calmly prepared
her funeral pile. She was unable to
bear the pain of the flames and attempt
ed to return home, but fell helpless and
remained 48 hours where she had fallen
before being found. Her life may be

MY FRIEND.

Are you my friend?
When in darkness and despair
Grope for the light and everywhere
rs only darkness, until you
Bring to me joy and comfort, too;
Then, where was darkness. there is light.
And where despair. a hope so bright
You are my friend.
Are you my friend?
a sacrifice you make to cheer
Nor count no service ever dreaT
III aught you DO in anywise
lDispel the gloom in my sad eyes,
And bring a ray of sunshine where
Was only misery and care
You are my friend.
Are you my friend?
When sorrow comes and grfef. ana woe,
You do not hesitate to go
And do what little mortal may
10 smooth a rough and rugged way;
with kindly word allay my fears,
And with smile drive way the tears
You are my friend.

CHRISTENING GIFTS.
There Is Nothing Better to Give at
Any Time Than a Suitable
Spoon.

There is nothing like a spoon for
baby's christening present, and OF all
the spoons made for the purpose none
are as good as the reproductions of old
time designs-the Apostle spoons"
with the head Of the apostle whose day
in the calendar comes nearest the day
of baby's birth or christening, says the
Washington Star. These spoons are OF
heavy silver, with the figure entirely in
relief forming the end Of the handle. A
teaspoon will cost So so, the next size
as much again, and the largest size still
more, but with the child's monogram in
the bowl in entwined script letters it
makes a pretty and useful gift.
These apostle spoons date back to
the middle ages when baby's religious
education began with the spoon as soon
as he could eat Shakespeare speaks Of
q spoon as being the acceptable chris
'tening gift in his day but nothing more
than its general utility is necessary to
make it popular to-day. Any kind of a
spoon is good for this purpose and later
1t will form part of the household sill
yer when the little man or woman is
grown UP.
There are many special baby spoons
besides those OF religious significance.
There is the regular pap spoon, which
&c, perhaps, the most convenient for sha
child's use-a short spoon, with the
handle bent over and under, the end
touching the bowl again and forming a
loop. which is convenient for baby
fingers to hold. There Is sure to be a
pretty design of some kind in the bowl,
/ and in the bowl of spoon Of ordinary
shape baby can see his own image-a
pretty babys head-engraved.
There are all sorts Of other things
given as christening gifts-pins of va
rious kinds, little gold chains, orna-
,ments, cups, plain mugs and SO many
loving cues with innumerable handles
that baby is not quite sure whether he
is yacht race or distinguished citi-
zen. One of the prettiest and newest
cups is light and shallow, small at the
bottom and rounding out to the wide
top. Engraved in these cups are various
animals and babies heads, and the
small owner is delighted to drink his
milk in order to see the pretty picture

HoHENzoLLERN DEATH DICE.
Relic of Historic Tragedy Presented
to- the Museum by Emperor
William.

The German emperor has presented
to the Hohenzollern museum the IA
nous death dice" by the help Of
which one of his ancestors decided g
difficult case toward the middle of the
seventeenth century, states the BerliI
correspondent of the Express.
A beautiful young girl had beer
murdered, and suspicion fell on two
soldiers, Ralph and Alfred, who hac
been rivals for her hand.
Both denied their guilt strenuous
lys end torture failed to extract . @--
fession from either of them. Prince
Frederick William, the kaiser's an
cestor, ordered dice to be brought II
order that the two soldiers should
throw for death, the loser to be exc
cuted as the murderer.
This trial by chance was conducted
with great pomp and ceremony, and
the prince himself attended to super
intend the appeal of divine interven-
ton, as he regarded it. Ralph had the
first throw. and he threw two skies
thus obtaining the highest possible
number.
Alfred fell on his knees and prayed:
Almighty God, Thou knoWest that
am guiltless; protect me, I beseech
Thee" Then he threw the dice, and
with such force that one of them broke
in two parts.
The one that remained unbroken
showed six, one part of the broken die
showed six and the second part Of the
broken die showed one, giving a total
of thirteen, or one more than Ralph
throw.
The whole assembly was filled with
establishment at the wonder. Ralph,
regarding it as a sign from heaven,
confessed his guilt, and the prince, ex-
claiming, sGod has spoken!" sem
fenced him to death.

swearing to Excess,

A cricket club in the south of Scot
land which has evidently found that the
use of lurid language doesn't add to the
amenities of play, has passed the fol-
lowing bylaw:
tAny member swearing to excess may
be expelled"
I have not heard whether the club
committee have yet arrived at defini-
ton of moderate swearing" The at
tempt to find one to meet all cases is
likely to result in language both pain
full and free.'-Glasgow Times.

Seen at White Salmon.

The good things in this life are al
ways ripe If we are ready to harvest
them. The first four days of this month
were rich in pleasant associations and
beautiful surroundings, as we were
then visiting at White Salmon.
At the ferry landing near the saw
mill we hoisted the white flag in token
of surrender, and to signify our willing
ness to be taken in, and soon heard the
putting of the little launch that carried
us safely across. The first person we
saw as we started up the hill was a
young man on a large rock eating
grapes, and in answer to our inquiry
if he didn't think it "cheeky to be eat
ing grapes so near the highway" he
came smilingly and presented each of
us with bunch of luscious grapes.
suppose he was pleased 10 find some
one with an equal amount of "cheek. ="
We were made to feel at home at the
Royal Anne farm of G. F. Waldo, on
Mob Hill, Jewett avenue, facing the
Columbia. Mr.. Waldo's family con-
sists of wife and daughter Edris E.,
father and mother Waldo, and Mother
Waldo's sister. The aunt is seriously
or rather painfully afflicted with Grip
pied right hand. Mr.. Waldo has very
much improved the place by good cuI-
tlvation, setting out trees and plants.
In few years he will have u valuable
cherry orchard.
White Salmon has scenic beauties of
unsurpassed loveliness and grandeur,
and among them Hood River is a star
of dazzling briliancy. On the I'd, Mr.
Jewett took us and Mrs. Waldo to see
the falls aud to visit our Eden Dale
ranch that we had never seen. We
took lunch at the falls, where there is a
new store kept by Mr.. Williams, who
seems to be doing good business. His
daughter, Miss Della, prepared us some
coffee that made our lunch complete.
With the Jewett grapes, Mrs. Waldo's
cake and Mr.. Waldo's wine, it could
not be called a dry dinner. The ride
from White Salmon to the falls was an
agreeable surprise, as we expected hills
and bad roads, but found It an even
grade and in good order. For about
mile along the precipitOus bluff of the !
