DANCING Hirda.

Sailors visiting the island Of Laysan.
in the Hawaiian group, are greatly
amused by the curious antics OF the
Laysan albatross. or gony. These birds
sometimes perform in pairs kind Of
dance, or, as the sailors call it, cake
walk. Two albatrosses approach each
other. nodding and making profound
bows. cross their bills, produce snap
ping and groaning sounds, rise on their
toes, puff out their breasts and finally
part with more nodding and bowling,
only to come together again and repeat
the performance. Occasionally three
engage at once in this singular amuse-
ment.

A Courtroom JOKE.

Lord Erskine. when chief Justice of

case with solemn emphasis thus:
'Tickell, the plaintiff, my lord" En-

Tn. story of Famous Phrase.

How Juvanc.e Settle auarr-I..

The .Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original. When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door
of the offender a circle with a straight
line across it. indicating that his al
fection. which would have been etcr-
nal, has been cut in two. Friends Of
both parties then shut them up They
parley awhile then pretend to he born
again, prattle as little children and final
ly AS men become reconciled and EN-
brace Should one he refractory and
refuse to be conciliated he is ostracizcd
by the community so eifcctually that
he Is soon brought to terms. 1t is jus,
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
knockdOwn arguments and certainly
much cheaper than going to law.

Disadvantage. of an Even Temper.
Ii is usual to envy the even tempered
people-thosc who are never undulH
elated or east down, who knit on
plain all the time If one like that sort
OF thing :; would be equally natural
to envy the animals-cows and pigs, Tor
instance-w whose serenity is seldom dis
turbcd For my part l think those even
tempered people lose nine-tcnths of the
pleasure of existence. The depths OF
grief and gloom into which impulslve
people are thrown are amply made up
for by the equally unreasonable and
unreasoniug joy into which they spring
at the slightest possible excuse, and
the sorrow OF II quarrel with dear
one is paid for in the delight of max
ing up" Parents are very apt to i'm
press on their children the beauty of
this even disposition. but so far as
can see the only benefit derived from
1t is an unwriuklcd complexion bona-

NO CITY TICKETS
TO Be ACCEPT TED
ON THE STREET CARS BETWEEN
CANTON AND MASSlLLoN.
New Order That Affects interurban
Passeneers-Worst Kick in
West End.

There is another little stir among
the patrons of the Canton-Akron street
railway, especially at the Massillon
end. For some time past passengers
have been using the ordinary street
car tickets which sell six for 25 cents
between Canton and Massillon and
others who live out short distance
from Massillon had been using them
to pay for their ride to North Canton,
Genoa and other points. Three tick
cts have been used for a trip between
Canton to Massillon, making the one
way cost 12R cents, or just the same
as it would if regular return trip
ticket had been purchased. A recent
order has gone into effect that these
tickets will not be accepted on any of
the interurban lines and conductors
Monday refused to accept them. The
claim is made by passengers that when
the first car goes over in the morning
there is no one at the Office to sell
tickets and as result they have to
pay Is cents for the one way unless
they have a stock Of round trip tick
cts on hands.
The greatest fuss is being raised by
the suburbanites of Massillon. They
cannot get tickets for the points to
which they have to go and must pay
the cash, thus getting the benefit of no
savings. In the past they have been
giving two tickets to Reedurban, but
now it is ten cents straight.
Attention is called to the fact that
the city tickets sold state that they are
not good north of Canton and are
supposed to be good on all other parts
Of the road, AID were accepted until
the recent order.
Manager Dimmock has issued an
order that the gates on the big inter-
III ban cars be removed and some have
been taken OFF. He states that they
are nuisance. Many passengers will
agree with this, as they often wonder
what would be the result in case of an
accident and the people wanted to get
out of the cars in hurry, especially
IL the accident should damage the
gearing that works the iron doors.

SLOCUM DISASTER
Government Case Closed Against For
mer Steamboat Inspector.

New York, March 20.-The govern
ment closed lis case today in the trial
of Henry Lundberg, formerly an as
slstant steamboat inspector, who is
charged with manslaughter in connec-
ton with the burning of the steamer
General Slocum.
9nYhe testimony of the government
witnesses all went to show that the
life preservers were worthless and
that they were torn and bursted when
seized upon by the frantic people on
the burning steamer as a means Of es-
cape.
DR.. M. O'Hanlon was the last wit
ness called. He testified that he had
signed over 200 death certificates in
connection with the losses of the Slo-
cum, the majority of which were due
to drowning.
Mr.. Gilbert, counsel for Lundberg,
moved that the letter of instructions
from General Dumont, dated April
1908 to certain inspectors, be stricken
from the record. This letter, intro
duced by General Dumont when he
was on the stand when the trial was in
its infancy, caused a sensation, Gen.
eral Dumont stating that the letter Of
instruction directed the assistant in
spectors to carefully examine the life
preservers but, he added, the letter had
never been promulgated and the only
way the inspectors could learn of its
being was to look through the letter
press books Of the office.
Mr.. Gilbert contended that the letter
had never been brought to the atten-
ton of the defendant. Judge Thomas
said that he would not grant the mo-
ton but would say in his charge to
the jury that 1t had not been shown
that the letter had been made known
to Lundberg. Judge Thomas therein
denied several formal motions of Mr..
Gilbert to dismiss the defendant.
Arguments will be heard tomorrow.
