Feats Of Indian Jugglery

Andrew Lang quotes in Longman's
Magazine letter from India in which
a strange tale of jugglery is told:
Yesterday" says the writer, 1--WE
were all marching in from Khim}asa
when we passed village and on the
roadside a juggler was resting. We
said to him: Juggle! We stood
within six feet of him, all round him,
all the time, and he was half-naked.
He took rudely carved little boat,
empty and unlocked, about inches
by inches, with one thwart across
it, with hole for mast. We all ex-
amined this boat and handed it round
1T was empty. He then stuck a thin
bamboo stick about two feet long in
the hole and then took a cocoanut and
handed it round. This cocoanut was
empty, with three holes in it.
HE then stuck the nut, which we
had all seen and felt was empty, on
the bamboo, and stuck a little bamboo

Put Washing Before Royalty

A story comes from the west that
is gbod enough to be true. In the
autumn of 1901, when the royal tour
lists, then known as the duke and
duchess of York, were passing tri-
umphantly through loyal dominion,
they came to small town not far
from the Rocky mountains, of which
Alexander Guthrie was mayor. OF the
mayor and his wife, be it remarked, in
the words of Mrs. Jean Blewett. "he
was Scotch and SO was She" There
was change in the plans of the royal
party, and the mayor received word
that they would arrive at 10 o'clock
on Monday morning, instead of four
hours later. Sunday afternoon was a
period of excitement. The mayor sur
veyed his Sunday suit" with feelings
of pride and anxiety, and assured his
wife Margaret that her black silk
would be the proper garb for the oc-
casion. He arose betimes and saw
that the station platform was properly
decorated. But what was his horror
to discover after o'clock that Mar
garet was Ult in the back yard bend
ing over a washtub and prespiring

BODY NOT RECOVERED.
Still, Believed, However, That Soldier
Was Drowned in Lake.

Burlington, May l6.-All day yester-
day men were on the lake in boats
searching for the body of Private John
j. Moore, Troop !. 18th Cavalry, who
it is believed was drowned early Sunday
morning. The men used rakes and
graphing irons but up to late hour
yesterday afternoon the body had not
been found The water in the vicinity
of the place where it is supposed the
man went down is about Is feet deep.
First Lieut.. Ben Lear, Jr., commanding
officer Of Trop /, and Corporal Ray Il.
Alyord, Troop l, the soldier who was
with Moore, went to the dock in front
OF the municipal power plant yester-
day afternoon and went thoroughly over
the ground. There is no doubt in the
minds of anyone familiar with the de-
tails of the case but that the soldier
met a watery grave.
Lieut.. Lear called upon Chief of Po-
lice Russell yesterday afternoon and in.
formed him that reward of SIS would
be paid to the party or parties who
found the body.
1t was suggested yesterday and the
proposition was Immediately put into
effect, that one of the 3,2 inch guns OF
the field artillery at the post be brought
to the dock and tilat a couple of blank
charges be fired over the water, to pos
sibly bring the body to the surface.

Mcdonald had ordered the surrey to
call at the house to take Mrs. Mcdonald
to the noon train, but it was getting
close to IL o'clock and no surrey showed
up. A passing team was stopped and
persuaded TO take Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Donald to the depot, but they arrived
there only to find that the train had
just gone. Mr.. Mcdonald then cast
about for team that would take them
to the Junction in an endeavor to over
take the train, when e. A. Prindle came
along Main street in his automobile.

Can you take us to the Junction to
catch the noon train"
sSure,n was Eugene's reply, and in
ten minutes after the train had left
Barre they were on their way to Mont
pelier Junction. The trip was made
without mishap and the automobile

tied in from the north. Mrs. Mcdonald

Startling Statement by Justice
Davis OF New York
FROM BEGINNING TO END
He Believes That Majority Of commun-
ity Thinks that Miss Patterson
Held the Revolver Which
Smith Bought.

New York, May 16.-At the monthly
meeting of the Phi Delta Phi club, an
organization Of lawyers, last evening,
Justice Vernon NJ. Davis of the supreme
court Of the state OF New York, who
was the guest Of honor, gave his opin-
ion as to the guilt of Nan Patterson,
while speaking in defense of Assistant
District Attorney Rand, who had prose-
cuted the young woman at her three
trials for the murder of Caesar Young.
Justice Davis, who presided at the first
two trials of the former chorus girl,
said that she had lied from beginning
to end, and it was his opinion that the
majority OF the community now believed
that Miss Patterson held the pistol by
which Young was shot, that j. Morgan
Smith bought the weapon and gave it
to her, charging her at the time with
the duty of soaring" Young.
In the middle OF the justices re-
marks the reporters were asked TO leave
the room, but before they had reached
the door they were called back by the
speaker, who said he left it to their
discretion as to just what parts of his
speech were to be used.
I'VE have heard a great deal in the
public press Of late of severe criticism
of Mr.. Rand, and his conduct of the
trial. said the justice,
~you cannot prosecute a criminal
without telling what you believe to be
the truth In the second trial before
me the defendant went on the stand, and
It was quite obvious that she was tell
ing falsehoods from beginning to end.
The very air seemed charged with the
fact that she was lying. Yet she was
woman. She was young. 1t was
natural that the public should sympa-
thize with her. People seemed TO know
| that she was not telling the truth and
| the great public of New York said
| Why should she not lieg Let her lie.
| Let her get the benefit Of her lies
@But today in the light Of the last
disagreement | felt sure that most peo-
| pie are convincedthat a majority OF
| the people believe--that the pistol that
killed Caesar Young was held by Nan
Patterson, was discharged by her, was
bought by j. Morgan Smith, in an att
| tempt to get money from Caesar Young
for the support of the combined fam
| lily.
Il don't mean to say that she took
the pistol from the recticule and shot
him in the side, but | do believe that
She had the pistol and showed il to
Caesar Young. An argument followed
and he took hold OF the weapon. In
the conversation and consequent strug-
gle the pistol went off and the man was
killed
Il believe moreover that had she told
the story on the witness stand as it
really happened, in other words, had she
told the truth, that second jury would
have acquitted her"
