IT SERVED THEM RIaHT.-"Courtesy

French actress, to an interviewer

are discourteous to them, they hate
and oppose us.
1.-TWO women occupied compart-
ment In a railway carriage with one
man, a stranger. They were extremely
rude to this man. In whispers that ne
could overhear they criticised his cos
tune, his figure and his manner. He
to be revenged, did a singular thing.
The blackness of a tunnel envel-
oped the car, and under cover Of the
darkness the man kissed the back OF
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then,
when the train entered the light again,
ne looked from one woman to the other
with q magnificent smile.
WAS it you he kissed%
mo, of course not Was 1t you?
And neither lady would believe the
others denial, and each, In her inno-
cent heart, was offended to think that
the man had chosen her companion in
stead Of herself to kiss. The man look
ed cool and compiacent. When. finally
he rose to go he said, lifting his hat
with a jocular air:

WILLING TO PAY For His CONTEMPT.
The following anecdote Is told OF
Gen. Gilman Marston, once famous
New Hampshire lawyer, says the Bos-
ton Herald.
Gen. Marston was attending court
at Dover, when a young attorney made
a motion that was denied by the court,
The young man demonstrated against
what he thought was the wrong ruling
of the judge. So vehemently did he
demonstrate that he was fined $40 for
contempt Of court. An older attorney
took the matter up, and he was fined
a similar sum. Still another, who
thought he stood a little better with
the Judge, endeavored to straighten the
the matter out, but, he too, enriched
the Golfers of the state by paying a
"ten spot" for contempt.
Gen. Marston was then seen TO rise
in his seat and advance to the clerks
desk. Taking his long pocketbook from
his pocket he took out two $40 bills
and laid them on the desk.
What Is that for" asked the court.
"I want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, that l have
Just twice as much contempt for this
d court as any man here, and
am paying for It,"

AND SHE Took THE HINT.-At the
home stations Of the British army
the private soldiers washing is usually
done by the married soldiers wives,
who are expected to sew on missing
buttons and make other repairs, for
which a small sum is deducted from the
privates' pay, says Tit-Bits.
Pat McGinnis had had good deal
of trouble with his laundress. Sunday
after Sunday had his shirt come back
with the neck button lacking or only
hanging by a thread. He had spoken
about the matter and the woman had
promised to see to 1t, but still the but
ton was not properly fixed.
He got out of patience one day when
the missing button had made him late
for parade. Bother the woman!" he
said, I'll see If can't give her hint
this time, anyhow"
Taking the lid Of thin backing box,
about three inches In diameter, he
punched two holes in 1t and sewed II
on the neck Of the shirt that was next
to be washed. When his washing came
back he found she had taken the hint
or part Of II. She had made button
hole to fit the lid.

Napoleon's Outrider.

Wernet, Napoleon's outrider, once
saved his emperor's life. 1t was after
the abdication of Fontainebleau' and
when Wernet drove Napoleon away
from the palace that he received from
a peasant information Of plot to fire
on the coach as 1t passed through the
forest. The outrider, representing that
there was an obstruction on the road
persuaded the emperor to leave the
coach and ride around in another di-
rection, while he brought the carriage
as best he co Id to meet him. This
was done, and Wernet encountered a
furious fusillade, which, however.
left him unscathed, as 1t was directed
not at the box, but at the interior of
the empty vehicle. Wernet lived to be

Wills Long Lost.

OF course, wills do turn up In out
of the way places, and bring about
startling climaxes in the lives Of un-
suspected legatees. One nobleman's
will lay hidden for years in the leg
of a bedstead; another came to light
years after the ship Schiller, in which
it was being carried from New Zealand
to England, founded Off the Scilly
Isles. Yet another last testament was
discovered entered among the ordinary

The late Duke of Sutherland left
over four score Of Wills; while the
one and only instrument settling the
affairs Of the late Lord Cheylesmore
was stolen by a baggage thief on the
railway.
Post mortem tangles often result
from the caprice Of the testator. This
happened to be the case Of wealthy
Liverpool merchant recently deceased
1t was known that everything that ne
possessed at death would go to his
only son, with whom he had not been

18th and 18th, for the purpose Of Or
ganizing the Wyoming Wool Growers
association, and to discuss forestry
and other problems of interest to the

The Importance Of this meeting is
recognized on all sides, owing to the

and the urgent necessity of the sheep
men of Wyoming presenting a united
front.
The old sayings of United we stand,
divided we falP' and In unity there
is strength could properly be applied
in the present case. The necessity of
a state organization to present our
demands and push the same to a sue
cessful conclusion must be apparent
to all wool growers, and it is urgently
requested that all sheepmen interest
ed in the betterment of their business
attend this convention and give voice
to their ideas.
The state board of sheep commits
sioners will hold a session during the
convention and range for the sea

anteed to pay all expenses Of the con-
vention.

that many will attend this meeting.
