appeared before Magistrate Nussbaum
charged with stealing chickens. The
negro was accompanied by his lawyer,
Col. Simmons, rising young sttor-
ney. The old Judge sauntered into
the dingy court room, where he had
reigned for 10 years, and, after cali
ing for order, looked around on the
little company there assembled. See.
ing George Washington Thomas, he
pointed TO him and said

Quick as a fash George was on his

terms, he exclaimed politely;

pointed to his lawyer. There was a
general laugh about the room, in which
the queer old Judge joined heartily.
The darkey felt sbashed. He was
visibly embarrassed, and. thinking
to correct the mistake, If mistake it
were. said again. pointing to his law
yer: "Yes, sab; he's the fen ant" and
pointing to himself, he said, Use de

And there in the corner beside the door
Lies motley heap Of many more.

Tailless monkey and headless doll.
And new bright pennies, his special Joy.

There lie his shoes on the kitchen foor'

Battered and chubby. short and wide
Worn at the toe and cracked at the side.
And there hangs the little dress he wore'
Scarlet flannel, and nothing more
But there clings about !, nameless CHARM
For the sleeves are creased by his dimpled arm.
Dear little feet, that are now SO still,

Ever as pure from stain as now;
Lead him through life by Thy guiding hand.

The Judge of one of the Missouri
county courts went to his home the
other afternoon, and becoming ac-
quainted with some fragrant act Of
his seven-year-old son summoned the
lad before him, says the Kansas City
Journal. Now sir, lay off your
coat" he said sternly. 81 am going
to give you whipping that you will
remember as long as you live" IF
it please your honor" said the boy,
1--WE desire to ask stay Of the pro-
ceedings in this case until we can
prepare and file change Of venue
to mothers court. Our application
will be based on the belief that this
court has formed an opinion regard
ing the guilt of the defendant, which
cannot be shaken by evidence, and is
therefore not competent to try the
case" Stay was granted and the
boy allowed 25 cents attorney fee.

Thought he Had Nerve.

did you ever hear of an Irishman
committing suicide2" Coroners' Ply
slcian O'Hanlon askpd the other day,
relates the New York Times. "In
all my experience l have only come
across one or two cases. The Irish
temperament is too sanguine for sui
eide, and even if an Irishmsn starts
out to make away with himself, he
usually changes his mind before he
completes his job l was talking this
matter over with friend some years
ago who employed an Irish man OF
all work in the country. The man
heard US and in order to have little
fun with him my friend called him
over and said:
"'Pat, the doctor here says Irish
man don't commit suicide because
they haven't the nerve.
"'Nerve, is it?' replied Pat. I'll
show you whether they have or not.
Gan hour or two later my friend
sent for Pat, but he was nowhere to
be found. We went in search of him
and finally found him in the barn
suspended from rafter by a rope
tied about his waist.
"'What in the name of all that
sensible are you doing asked my
friend, after We had got him down.
Hanging myself, sor. You said
didn't have the nerve
"But, you idiot, you ought to have
put the rope about your neck

couldn't breathe. y"

Royal Baking Powder is indispensable

Mining Arsenic.

A Virginia farmer, up among the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
cleared new field and pastured his
cows there. Before long the animals
sickened and one died. Thinking
that perhaps the spring which bubbled
from the rocks in apparent purity
might be the cause, the farmer caused
it's waters to be analysed. 1t was
found that they contained arsenic in
such quantities as to render them
dangerous to man and beast. This
discovery, Gays the Boston Herald, led
to an industry, unique, not only In
the United States, but in the western
hemisphere that is, the mining OF
arsenic ores and the manufacture Of
white arsenic, for the supply of which
America has hitherto depended en-
tirely upon foreign markets.
Arsenic is mined in japan, Italy,
Portugal, Spain, Germany, and Eng
land. It's uses are many. As pol
son it has been known from very
early times. The peasant women OF
Austria consume large quantities OF 1t,
having faith in it's virtues as besutl-
fer, and the men Of the same region
are addicted to it's use in the mistaken
belief that it increases their bodily
strength and endurance.
Arsenic is q useful mineral. 1t is
used in the manufacture Of glass,
white metal, Paris green and a great
variety of paints; in printing calico,
in making toilet soaps, cosmetics, and
complexion powders in the manu-.
facture of fireworks and ss a consti-
tuent Of many alloys. For these and
similar purposes between FIVE and six
thousand tons are imported into the
United States every year. The aver
age value OF white arsenic may be
placed at about eighty.hve dollars a
ton.
1t was only about year ago that
the arsenic ore was discovered in Vlr.
ginia then the mountain top round
the present mining town Of Bnnton
was an almost unkroken wilderness.
The story Of its transformation into a
busy industrial community is good
illustration Of the pluck and indom.
liable will TO which America owes its
industrial supremacy. The mine if
located at the summit Of a mountain
three thousand feet above the sea lev
Ell. The physical difficulties that had
to be overcome were enormous
The ore body averages twenty-five
to thirty per cent pure arsenic. II
is found in assure veins, cropping out
at the surface aud extending into the
earth for an unknown distance. Twen
ty distinct veins have been discovered
outcropping for distance Of sever
miles, so that the deposits are ezten
sive enough to supply the worlds de
mands for an indefinite period.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend TO my daily duties. /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and 1t caused disturbance in my
stomach I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. ] was ad-
vised to give Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that 1t acted like fine tonic, and In
few days began, to enjoy and properly digest
my food. Ny recovery was rapid, and in
FIVE weeks was well woman. | have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unqual-
fed Reimbursement, or has such record OF
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
