A Bad Man With Many Virtues.

A man who for several years has pos
essed the entire confidence of the people
Of Patterson, New Jersey, is now fugl-
tive from Justice. he was Mayor OF that
city and honored and respected both per
sonally and officially. One of his friends
is quoted in the New York Press as fol-
lows:
In his private life he was most scrupu-
lous; in his family relations he was pure
and faithful; in public Office he was be-
yond temptation. How do you explain
It? He was all that to me and to the peo-
pie of Patterson generally. And yet l
know now that during these past eight
years all the time that his reputation stood
highest he was forger and swindler.
This man was frequent visitor to the
public schools. Children were attracted
to him and he seemed to have genuine
fondness for them. he was neither a
smoker nor drinker. In fact he was to
all appearances paragon of all the vir'
tues. He could borrow money without
security. It seemed, indeed, that there
were many men anxious to lend to him.
Yet this man was swindling poor clients
out of small sums all the time. No sum
that he could obtain, even to 50, was re-
jected. Criminologists will find him a
most interesting study. There is nothlng
in fiction or in the drama which should
be considered impossible after the exploits
of the truly good" man Of Patterson.

A Close Bargain.

The reputation held by Mr.. Cobb OF
Candy for making the closest bargains
Of any man In the region was sus-
tained during the summer by bis deal
,nes with several Of bis neighbors from
the city.
"Mr. Cobb" said one Of these neigh
bors whose orchard was In need OF
pruning, ''the man says he must have
a longer ladder than mine, tor when
he's finished the orchard want him to
trim that scraggly elm Just this SIDE OF
the apple trees. Have you a LADDER J.

"Um-m, well I spoee hev.' said
Mr.. Cobb grudgingT as he turned MS
lean face half away from bis visitors
gaze. 1--WE got one, but It's kind OF
loose tinted toward the top. I'm not
cal'1attn' to put any repairs on to 1t,
for don't ever go clear to the top
myself. I'm willin' to let ye take It,
but I shall hev to charge ye hutV
cents, guess, on account Of the resk
Of your mans breakin' through the top

way than I am, and along Of not IN

Placing the Responsibility.

A man convicted of murder was allow.
ed by the presiding judge to make a
statement before sentence of death was
pronounced against him. Addressing the
Judge and jury he said:
II began my downward career at sa-
loon bar legalized and protected by the
voters of this town. After the saloons
YOU allowed have made me drunkard
and murderer, I am taken before anoth-
er bar, the bar of Justice, and now the law
power will conduct me to the place OF ex.
ecution, and send me into eternity. l
shall appear before another oar-the
Judgment bar of God-and you, who
have legalized the traffic will have to ap-
pear with me. -,
"Think YOU that the Great Judge will
hold me, the poor, weak, helpless victim
of YOUR traffic, alone responsible for the
murder of my wife? Nay, /, in my drunk.

murdered one, but you have deliberately
voted for the saloons which have mur-
dered thousands, and they are in full op-
Grafton today with your consent.
"You legalized the saloons that made
me drunkard and murderer, and you
are guilty with me before God and man
for the murder of my wife.
"Your honor, am now done. l am
now ready to receive my sentence, and be
led forth to the place of execution. You

solemnly asking God to open your blind
ewes to your own individual responsible

support to this dreadful traffic"

Why the Bears Foueht.


q. n. Russell, the western painter,
tells an amusing story Of bear fight
which be thinks Is funnier than any
humorous sketch he has ever seen por-
rayed ON a vaudeville stage. he had
been out with a guide all day, and to-
ward evening they saw far down the
road two bears saunterng along quite
obltvtous Of the presence Of human be-
ings, as the wind was in the wrong d.
rection. Russell and his guide quickly
Jumped behind a small thicket and
when the bears were within shooting
distance the painter let fly and struck
one Of them fair tn the side. The shot
stunned the animal for moment, and
he was under the impression that his
mate had struck him a terrific blow
when he was not looking. As there
appeared to be DO reason for this chas-
tisement he proceeded to retaliate by
attacking the other bear. About this
time the guide took shot at the as
sauIted animal, with the result that
the brute was tnfuriated and imagined
he had been struck with undue force
by his comrade. Upon this the two
bears set to and had terrific fght- :

Education Won the Pot.

On a warm and sultry day two tramps
were playing a game Of poker behind a
haystack. One of them dealt. "What
are you going to bet?" he asked the
other.
"I've got pretty good hand, so II!
open the pot for a hundred dollars: o,,
athousand." -,
"Good! I'll make it billion dollars"
'Pll see your billion and just to make
it interesting I'll raise you trillion dol
lars"
"Whew! You must have good hand
But I'll stay and 60 you just quadrillion
better"
"That suits me. I'll make it quintil-
lion better than yours"
The other tramp hesitated and looked
at his cards intently. Finally he said:
"The pot is yours. You win on educa
tion."

AnswertnG the Emperor.

Answering the Emperor.
The following story Of Kaiser VII
liam II. and one Of his generals is told
BY a biographer Of the German emper-
OF:
At a review in Berlin the kaiser I'M
patiently reprimanded old General Won
Meerscheldt for losing bis wits at q
critical moment
III your majesty thinks am getting
too old, beg Of you to allow me to re-
sign"
mo, no." replied the emperor. "You
are too young to resign. Indeed II
your blood didn't course through your
veins quite so fast you would be q
more useful army leader"
On the evening Of that day the kaiser
and the general met at court ball.
The general was talking to some young
ladies.
"Ah, Meerscheldt," cried the emper,
or. that Is right. Get ready to marry
Take a young wife, then that excit'
able temperament Of yours will soon
vanish"
The general bowed low as he re,
torted:
Il beg to be excused, your majesty.
A young emperor and young wife
would be more than l could possibly
stand"

Peace at Last.

The representatives of Russia and ia
nan at their meeting on Tuesday finally
agreed on terms of peace, and the war
will now come to close. The Russians
refused to pay indemnity, to surrender
interned warships, or to cede the Island
of Sakhalin. In fact, it seems that the
Japs get the worst Of the peace negotia-
tions, for they surrendered some things
which they have already won by the
sword. 1t was a surprise to the Russians
when the representatives of Japan backed
down on Tuesday and agreed to Russia's
terms

A LEGISLATIVE CONSPIRACY.
Rumor Of an Attempt to Defeat the Biennial
Sessions Meaeure.

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier writes that paper as
follows:
THE special commission appointed to
consider the biennial sessions matter has
not met yet, but session is expected
shortly. 1t will be remembered that at
the last session of the legislature the con-
stitutional amendments voted on faVora-
bly by the people at the last election came
up. The judiciary committee OF the house,
to whom the matter was referred, reported
back q number of objections as to bill
passing at that session, and finally it was
decided to refer the whole question to a
special committee to sit during the recess
and report at the next session.
"This committee is supposed to solve
the various problems connected with the
change and to clear away all objection.
They are to prepare bill to be passed by
the house and senate that will embody all
of these changes, such as reports by State
officers, the appropriations, the meeting
of special commissions and other matters
of this kind.
1.-THE bill, however, will come up at a
bad time of the session. The next year IS
political year, and there will be many
who will do all they can to prevent the
bill from passing either the house or sen.
ate, thus defeating the expressed will OF
the people. The amendment OF the con-
stitution is supposed to 60 into effect IN
1907, and the provisions must be made for
this change at the next session, or it can
not be made at all.
"Just what means could be used to pre-
vent the passage of the measure is not
known and cannot be even guessed at,
but it is certain that there are number
of members who not want the constitu-
tional amendment ratified by the legisla.
ture, and for this reason the report and
meeting of the special committee will be
awaited with interest,""

Strange Sort Of Government.

The people voted for prohibition in
1892, and did not get it. They voted for
biennial sessions three years ago, and it
looks like they are not going to get it:
They are voting for prohibition in several
counties now, and the dispensary crowd
are calling on the courts to prevent their
getting that. Is this government OF the
people, for the people, by the people? Or
is it a government by the whiskey ring?-
