 ROME, ITALY-MY DEAR OLD "PARD:" We'll, sir, if you could see me now, you wouldn't know me, because foreign travel has broadened me out, so l can talk on any subject, and people of my age look upon me as an author ity, and they surround me everywhere l go, and urge me to talk. The fact that the boys and girls do not understand word l say, makes no difference. They do not wear many clothes here, and there Is no style about them, and when they see me, with whole suit of clothes on, and hat, and shoes and socks, and d scarf-pin on my necktie, they think | must be an Americana that is too rich for any use, or something that ranks with prince at least, and the boys de- light to be with me, and do errands for me, and the girls seem to be ill love with me.
 There is no way you can tell if girl is in love with you, except that she looks at you with eyes that are as black as coal, and they seem 10 burn a hole right into your insides. and when they take hold of your hand they hang on. and squeeze like alamand-left, in dance at home. and they snug up to you and are as warm and cheerful as a gas stove

Unwrltteh Law Invoked.

In a justice of the peace court at Fort Smith, unusual procedure was had in case of a violation of the sanctity of the home, in which the unwritten law was invoked It seems that the wife of Lon Dean. an indus trious and sober negro who resides in Van Buren, and was deeply in love with his wife. cut her throat because of her alleged disloyalty to him. A number of times she had been arrested for drunkenness and immor- ality and fined in the police court, her husband always paying her out She again engaged in her debauch, and the husband came to the jail to pay her out and found her in com pany with another negro who had paid her fine. He importuned her to return to her home and she laughed at him to show her disregard for his feelings, and kissed every man who came near her. In a frenzy of excitement and rage. Dean drew his knife across her throat, but the knife was dull and he only succeeded in inflicting an ugly gash When he was brought to trial, the judge, after hearing his story, an. nounced that he would reduce the felony charge of assault with intent to kill and give him trial for a mis- demeanor. The judge then instructed the jury that under the written law Dean was guilty of the felony charge, but under the unwritten law, which was superior to the written law in then went on the stand made clean breast of it. His wife admitted her disloyalty to her husband The jury retired just long enough to write a verdict of acquittal.

The notorious "Paddy" Lynch, who
was sent up a couple of years ago from
Astoria TO serve eight years for the
crime Of kidnapping, has had a petition
for his pardon fled with the governor.
Lynch was a sailor boarding house
keeper in Astoria, and, together with
one Tobiason, was convicted Of the
above crime in March, 1903. Lynch
received a sentence Of eight years,
while bis pardner was only given two.
This is one Of the reasons alleged in the
petition for his pardon. There were
only 10 names signed to the petition,
and it is not probable the pardon will
be granted.
