SUED BABIES
According 10 the Dei.nse Two Young
Men Put Up In Magis-
trate's Court.

A very interesting and amusing law
suit occurred this morning in Squire
David's court in which the plaintiff was
Mrs. James E. Stewart, Of ut. Clare,
and the defendants were two boys
named Wesley AMI Joseph Greynolis, OF
the same place.
Some days ago Mrs. Stewart sued the
boys for store account of $500, and
when it came to trial the boys accom-
panied by their mother appeared and
set up the plea That they were infants.
Their plea made it necessary for them
TO nave a guardian appointed. Taey
were given week in whica to get q
guardian. But they appeared in cour
again today without any guardian ana
knew Of no one that would serve. f.
H. Rogers volunteered to act in That
capacity for the boys. The bbys prac-
tically acknowledged they owed the
debt but thought they had no right 70
pay IT rs a part OF the debt was for
tobacco and pop and not for necessities
and that they were infants. although
they were supporting their, mother and
brothers and sistsrs.
1ns squire deferred judgment until nc
could investigate and find out Just wat
necessities would include in such case.

ly giving things away. He looks upon
all men who wear the fez as his broth
ers, and they look at him as though
ne was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
on talking to the women here without
an introduction. and a woman in Tur-
Key had rather die than have a Chris
tlan dog look at her. Dad was buy
ing some worIny figs of a merchant,
who was seated on the floor of his
shop, and giving him signs, when a
curtain behind the Turk was pulled
one side. and woman with beautiful
eyes, and her face covered with veil
came out with a cup of coffee for the
Iurk. Dad shook hands with her,
ana said: Your husband and I be-
long to the same lodge" and he was
gong to go inside and visit the family
when the woman drew a small dagger
out OF the folds iof her dress, and the
Turk drew one o.. these selma ters. and
1t looked for a moment as though /
was going to be half orphan, par
t1cularH when dad put his hand on
her shHulder and Datted 1T. and smiled
one OF those masher smiles which he
uses at home. and said: 'My good
woman, you must not get in the habit
or Jabbing your husbands friends
with this crooked cutlery, though to
be killed by SO handsome a woman
would indeed be sweet DEATH but
the bluff did not gp, and the woman
disappeared behind the curtain, and
dad had the frantic husband to deal
with.
/ have never seen a human being
look as murderous as that Turk did
as he drew his>thumb across the blade
OF his knife, drew up his lip and
snarled like a dog thai has been be-
reaved of promising bone by a
brother dog that was larger. The
Turk looked through his teeth, and
his eyes seemed to stct like small arc
lights, that were to show him where

and looked scared

him the only way out of it, alive,
would be to buy something, SO dad
picked up a little Jim crack, worth
about ten cents, su1d gave the Turk
a nve-dollar gold I Iiece, and while the
Turk went in beh ind the curtain to
get the change 1 told dad now was

soldiers came UP on the yeranda,
where dad and / had broke UP the
procession, and they lit on dad like
buzzards on a dead horse, and took
possession of the hotel, and began to
search our baggage.
One Turk choked dad until his
tongue hung out of his mouth and
another took me by the ear and
stretched it out so it was long as a
mules ear, and they took us to a bas-
tile, and dad says it is all up with us
now, because they will drown us like
a mess of kittens in a bag, and all
because we woke them UP with a

just in time to keep from being arrest
ed or blown up with a bomb. Dad
wanted to go to Moscow, because he
saw picture once of Moscow being
destroyed by fire by Napoleon, or
somebody, and he wanted to see if
they had ever built the town up again
but / felt as though so mething serious
was going to happen in that country
if We didn't look out, and so I per-
suaded dad to go to Turkey, and the
day we started for C.onstantinople we
got the news that he Nihilists had
thrown a bomb unde E the carriage of
the Grand Duke Setrglus, and blew
him and the carriage into small pieces
not bigger than a slice of summer
sausage, and they had to sweep his
remains up in dust, pan and bury
them in two qua rt fruit jar.
Wouldn't that jar you?

couldn't have 9ept, hin in Russia on

watched you and dad giving each
other signs and grips, ard whispering

the grocery, nights, after you had
locked up. I thought, at the time,
that you and dad were planning
burglary but when you both went to
the lodge one night end stayed till

that you and he had joined the shrine.

We struck Constantinople, and dad

got his fez out of his trunk, and he
wears it all the time.
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks
here as though he owned a harem.
We go to the low streets, about as
wide as a street car, where Turks
are selling things, with dad wearing

AS TO SHAKESPEARE.

4 LOUISVILLE, KY. preacher, the
u Rev Mr.. C. c. Cromer the other
day burned with great and pre-
arranged dramatic effect in the pres
ence OF his congregation a copy of the
plays of William Shakespeare. my
objections to Shakespeare" he said,
are that the work teens with un-
wholesome stuff that is unfit to be
read by anyone. There is a great deal
in Shakespeare that no man would
have-the indeceacy to read in the pres
ence OF ladies. and no book contain
ing such matter should have a place
in a Christians library, and it shall
rot have in mine"
The Reverend Mr.. CroIner viii be
the only loser by the elimination of
the works Of Shakespeare from his IL
brary. And he viii lose something
more than the marvellous writings of
Shakespeare. He viii lose whatever
reputation he may have possessed for
being a sound-minded. leveI-headed,
practical man. We suppose it is
hardly worth while to point out to MIR.
Cromer the fact that his rule would
exclude the Bible from his library
There are many verses in the Bible,
and especially in the Old Testament,
that should never be read aloud in
mixed company We grant freely
enough that an unexpurgated edition
OF Shakespeare. and even editions that
have been carefully expurgated, con-
tain Objectionable matter. But they
also contain so much that is good that
they should have a place in every Ii
braTy. But it is waste of time to
argue the question. Those who hold
TO the contrary view are so few that
they are not worth converting.
Why, the Christianity in Shake
sDeare, if all else were eliminated,
makes il worthy. King Henry says:
We are no tyrant, but a Christian
king" and Shakespeare never loses an
opportunity to manifest his reverence
for and his belief in the Christian re-
ligion- Mr. Cromer would not throw
the Bible out of his library; he would
not take a single verse or a single
word out Of the Good Book, though he
must. if ne Is honest. admit that many
of its verses are far more unfit for
general reading than anything in
Shakespeare plays.
The whole matter seems to resolve
itself into the old French saying, Evil
to him who evil thiuketh."
