fore justice forthwith, but instead was locked up in a barn until next day. We had that constable so scared with in two days that he fairly begged loi me to take $1o0 and call it square.
 ''We then went for the justice. He had not given me the show allowed by law, and on four different points had rendered himself liable to removal He came to me with tears in his eyes and $75 in his hand and I let up on him. i.,~s~s s=sg1-y. .3ey .ss-, $~7
 ''Then it was the jailer's turn to toe the mark. He had no legal right to shut me up in a dark cell. No law gave him the privilege of substituting bread and water for my prison diet He had been abusive and tyrannical and had kicked me, and that was as- sault. The law specified what food, he should furnish his ~prisoners, but he had substituted what he pleased. He had tried to make me saw wood and scrub out the corridors and had put1ne in irons because I refused, and yet was clearly within the law had him up on six different charges, but before the case came to trial settled with him for $250.
 sT had been sent to jail without the option of fine. I was taken out on writ of habeas corpus and admitted to bail and was therefore free to appear in court #N " N.
 "The case did not end swhen the jail- CT squared up. Three or four politi- clans saw that my lawyer was making too much capital out of it, and they set out to down him The result was that it became political contest of in- terest to all in that legislative district, and after mud slinging campaign and close vote my lawyer triumphed over all and came out with flying colors. The district was upset politically for the first time ill eighteen y ears. and all because of a tramp. *% VT
 "My last jail," continued the c. o. D. man, twas In New Jersey and only last June. My arrest came about in a rath- CT singular way-that is, it would be accounted singular outside of New. Jer. sey. l had been walking all the fore noon, and about l2 o'clock sat down by the roadside to rest and have a cold bite. Pretty soon farmer came along leading bull, and just as he reached me the bull broke away. knocked the man down and jumped into field and gored calf. .'.~
 Although I offered my services to help capture the bull, the farmer in sisted that I was to blame and had me arrested. It was claimed that my pres ence excited the animal to do mischief, and on the ridiculous charge was sent to Jail for fifteen days. I told the jailer at once that should stand on my legal rights as a prisoner, and though he sulked over it he carried out his part of the contract to the very last day.
 My sentence of fifteen days expired at noon of certain Wednesday. Jail and prison sentences always expire at that hour, the same as insurance poli- ctes. This jaiier probably knew the law better than I did, but in order to get even with me he kept me until o'clock in the evening. It was then raining hea willy, and refused to go out. He had me flung into the street and added a kick by way of farewell and probably thought he had seen the last of me.
 Next morning I began a suit against him for false Imprisonment and on top of that another for assault and battery, and he had hardly consulted a lawyer before he was on hand with an offer to settle with me for $50. closed with him at that, and think the lesson was one to do him good.
 'Yes, I've been in jail. and perhaps I shall bring up behind the bars again, but I shall accept it as all in the days work and stand on my rights.
 Thank you again for the coin. You have delivered the cash, and have de- livered my story. Best and safest prin- ciple in the world to work on. c. O. D. saves all bookkeeping, prevents misun- derstandings, and there are no long drawn accounts to go over. I'm sure of bite to eat and bed for tonight, and if you haven't got the worth of your money I'll bear on little harder next time" M. QUAD.
