put his hands on them, so he resorted
to a little eXpedient to catch the willy
members. He got lot of rice and
soaked it in whisky. BY getting them
to eat lot of this whisky
stuff he thought he would make them
drunk, and then it would be an easy
matter to catch them. He thought
they would eat until they were drunk
and then keel over in the yard, so he
would have nothing to do but pick
them up. He shelled out enough rice
to make drove of hogs drunk, and
he began to think his little experiment
was going to prove a failure. The
pigeons did not fail to 81 ow the effects
of the whisky. They were decidedly
boozy, and seemed to be having deal
of fun out of the game. They would
hop around on the ground quite mer-
rily, and would now and then take a
little whirl up in the air just for the
fun of the thing. Directly one of the
pigeons flew up to the little house in
the rear of the yard. Soon another
followed. This thing kept up until
the last one of the birds had flown
into the pigeon house. There was
noisy clatter in the house which had
been taken charge of by the birds for
awhile, and then suddenly the noise
died out. The pigeons all went to
sleep and did not venture out until
they had slept their jag off.
1.-The little eXpedient had proved a
failure, and up to this good day the
man has never been able to get rid of
the bad lot of pigeons, and the chances
are that he will not get rid of them
until he shoots them"

Indian Art and Industry.

Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India,
has been making an earnest appeal in
behalf of Indian art and industry. He
lamented the fact that study of In
dian arts, industries and manufactures
showed progressive deterioration.
Any effort to stem the tide of mod
ern commercialism and utilitarianism
would of course be futile. In India,
he said, they were witnessing only one
aspect of process which is going on
throughout the world that long ago ex-
tinguished the old manual industries
of England and is rapidly eXtinguish
ing those of China and Japan. Moth
ing can stop it.

Uncle Silas Jones has learned to his
sorrow that it is not always, desir-
able to have little daughter for n
champion. One of his two little
cherubs is particularly fond of him,
while the other espouses the cause of
her mother. A few nights ago, says
the Chicago Chronicle, the Joneses
were entertaining some visitors and
after a time the conversation turned
to the subject of economy. In the
usual order of things the men charged
the women with extravaganza and the
women did as much for the men. And

ALL WOUNDS HEALED
Jury Paid Costs of a "Hoss Case"
in York State.
Their Generous Action Pleased Both

Peace Rcigns supreme in
Ogden Town.

a correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes from Ogden, N. Y, that
when Dodson d Fogg made their ar
rangements with Mrs. Bardell about
the breach of promise case, in which
they were to charge nothing at all for
the costs unless they got them out of
Mr.. Picliwick, Dickens knew nothing
of Ogden, and the amenities of justice
as served up in that region were hid
den in obscurity. There the costs
are not extracted from the defendant
or from the plaintiff. When both are
well-known and popular members of
the community their finer feelings are
not annoyed that way. The jury chips
in and pays the courts fees and ex-
penses. While this is not established
as an unvarying precedent, it has come
to be the custom, especially in "hoss
cases"
The other day JabeZ Pierce, known
in western New York as Pierce, of
Monroe" and not unversed in the finer
points of politics as played in these
wilds, was called upon to face JUS
tice of the peace and jury of his
peers in just such litigation as was
suggested above in the term "hoss
case" When JabeH is not breaking
in voters he is curbing the high-spirit-
ed and fractions colt. Walter Bick-
ford, of Ogden, was the plaintiff. He,
too, is a man of prominence, and a
fancier of the frisky foal. Mr.. Bick-
ford made affidavit that last spring he
handed over a valuable young horse
to Mr.. Pierce to be licked into shape
for something while on the track.
Mr.. Pierce took him in hand, and by
the time of the Brockport fair he had
him trained down so smoothly that he
was offered $3.50 for him, spot cash

"Speaking of pigeons and the queer

"and l may say right here thGt the

aging.
Unquestionably the widespread dis
tress that so frequently prevails in In
dia is in n large measure due to the
failure to keep pace with the rest Of
the world in the fine arts and industry,
and If Lord Curzon shall be able to
stimulate these he will he doing an
inestimably valuable work for the vast
country over which he has been chosen
to preside The chief trouble seems to
be the inactivity and carelessness Of
the native princes and petty provincial
rulers, who are seemingly unmoved

great mass of the Indian people.

cited instances in which those of the
opposition were guilty of spending
money foolishly, if not recklessly. AS
usual the men had much to say about
the awful prices the women paid for
their hats and the women dwelt at
length upon the folly of spending
money for cigars.
"My husband isn't guilty of any such
extravaganza" said one of the wom-
en-, "but Silas, l am sure, spends
small fortune for cigars every year.
1t seems to me that that is little short
of sin. 1t is certainly absurd to put
money into tobacco. One might just
as well take the money and set fire
to it. Oh, don't frown, Silas! You
know I'm only saying what is true.
I've seen you distributing cigars right
and left and I've often heard you as
sure your friends that they are good
or fine or the best in the market,
and so they must cost you lot. sup
pose the least they cost you is ten
cents each"
1t was then that Silas' little defender
sprang into the arena. Her eyes
flashed Indignantly and her little hands
were clinched furiously as she turned
to the woman who lad smilingly at
tackled her father.
"You're wrong" cried the child.
"You're awful wrong. My papa does
not spend ten cents for his cigars. He

the distinction of being the only arm
less bowler in the universe.
Soon after he met with the accident
that caused the loss of both his arms
the community was intensely inter-
ested in the announcement that the
bowling fraternity of Lincoln, ILL.,,
were backing Coffman against anoth-
er popular man of his class. His best
score at certain match game was
201, the average tally of his opponent
being something like a hundred less.
He had not lost his cunning in spite
of the fact that he was manipulating
the ball with set of artificial fingers.
He set to work and contrived an
ingenious device for carrying out his
plan and one which enables him to
grasp and hold the ball both naturally
and well. With a swing of his strong
right arm he sends the ball spinning
down the alley. With very limited
amount of practice he was all ready
to play in one of the Lincoln City's
league teams in their weekly games.
The fingers, which are part of his
artificial arm and hand, are set of
springs capable of holding the ball
with the same tenacity as the useful
members of which he had been de-
prived. He is able to depend upon
their use at all times.

The Fluctuntions of Trade.

An interesting study in the fluctua-
tions in foreign trade and commerce is
furnished by the record of the year
1902, which shows II marked change
in the share which the various ports
have lad in the distribution of the ex-
ports of the United States.
The gulf ports slow falling off of
about 13 per cent in expectations as
compared with last year and the At
lantic coust ports decline of about
10 per cent. while the lake and north
ern border ports show n gain of per
cent. the Pacific coast ports gain of
10 per cent and the Mexican border
ports an increase of % per cent
These marked contrasts, in which the
ports tributary TO the Atlantic show q
reduction and those on the Pacific or
fronting upon contiguous territory
show an increase, are in keeping with
the general trend of the years com
merce, in which exports to Europe
show Il marked decline and those to
Asia and to the contiguous territory at
the north and south n marked growth.
Exports to Europe especially were af-
fected by the crop failure of 1901,
since breadstufrs and provisions form
the large proportion Of the sales of the
United States to that part of the
world. while our exports to Asia, Mex
leo and Canada We're less affected by
crop failures. since manufactures form
the bulk of our sales to those parts of
the wC.ld: hence Tie decrease in ship
mcntS through gulf and Atlantic ports
| and the increase in those through Pa
cific ports and those fronting upon
contiguous territory.
While the foregoing figures, which
are furnished by the treasury bureau
of statistics, include only eleven
months of the year, they are presum.
! ably Il fair index of the full years op-
erations at the various great doorways
through which the exports of the coun

damages were set at SIS, the difference
between what Mr.. Pierce might have
got and what he really did get.
Mr.. Pierce, on the other hand, de-
clared that the reason why he did not
let the colt go for $3.50 was because
he expected to get more, but would
have closed the deal had not Mr..
Blickford been too sick at the time
to be conferred with.
Judge Colby was the court before
whom this nice question was dis
cussed. Six good men and true were
summoned as jury to weigh the
evidence. After listening critically,
the panel withdrew as usual to the
coal cellar to reach a conclusion.
Coal cellars are exceedingly cold dur
ing blizzard weather, and the jury al
most Immediately brought in ver-
dict of no cause of action. This nat
urally surprised the plaintiff, Bick-
ford, who had known every member
of the jury from childhood. The de-
fendant was elated, but in a gener-
GUS mood. When it came time to tax
the costs, the foreman of the jury
arose and said:
MAY it please your honor, the
members of this here jury feel that
in finding, as they have done in this
case, they were actuated by a calm
and dispassionate consideration of
the facts. Justice, they feel, must
not be trihed with under no circum-
stances. Nevertheless, knowing and
respecting both parties as we do, we
feel that all here present should
leave this bar of justice without no
hard feelings laid up against nobody.
Consistently this jury has decided
to chip in half dollar apiece toward
paying the courts costs"
This generous offer so warmed the
hearts of the spectators that the
/ fund was soon made up, with the ex-
ception of 60 cents, but this dilemma
was safely solved by holding up a
constable who had been paid in ad-
vance for serving the papers. The
trial was then declared off.
