tending in this city must have one
line to the southwest and probably

Settinq Himself Straight.

George Washington Thomas, an
able-bodied negro of Sleepy Hollow,
appeared before Magistrate Nussbaum
charged with stealing chickens. The
negro was accompanied by his law
yer, Col. Simmons, a rising young
white attorney. The old Judge saun-
tered into the dingy court room where
he had reigned for more than twenty
years, and after calling for order he
looked around on the little company
there assembled. Seeing George
Washington Thomas, he pointed to
him and said:
"Be you the defendant in this case?"
"Quick as a flash George was on
his feet, and, not understanding legal
terms, he exclaimed politely:
mo, sab; no, sab; amt de-fen ant;
dar's de'fen ant ovah dar." And say
ing which he pointed to his lawyer.
There was general laugh about the
room, in which the queer old Judge
joined heartily. The darkey felt abash-
ed. He was visibly embarrassed, and
thinking to correct the mistake. if
mistake it were, he said again, point
ing at his lawyer: "Yas, sab; he's de-
Tenant" and pointing to himself, he
said: Use de gent'man what stole de

tells good story concerning himself.
Some time ago while in Washington
he was presented to the wife of high
government off1cial-a very ample"
lady, and one whose appearance indi-
Gated that she possibly enjoyed the
material comforts of life more than
the esthetic.
When Mr.. Wister's name was men,
toned she regarded him with consid-
cradle interest, and the author began
to think that something very compli-
mentary was going to be said concern
ing his books. The lady beamed once
or twice in preliminary sort Of way,
and then remarked with genuine feel
ing:
you know it's often very hard to
catch the names of people who are In
troduced to you, and sometimes It's
hard to remember them. But in your
case it's SO different. 1 really want to

contain green copperas in the proper
ton of twelve pounds to barrel.
1t had since been suggested that the
copperas was used to make the beer
frothy, but the revenue authorities
knew nothing of that method and 1t
was impossible to suppose that twelve
pounds was necessary for the pur.
pose in barrel.

replied Mr.. Hawkins.
Mr.. Plowden said he considered the
real object was to promote on the
part of the customer passionate de-
sire for another glass. No publican
could hope too strongly for thirsty
customer, and if he could keep the
thirst going his source of income was
ineXhaustible. 1t was very ingenious
device, but it was hardly the way to
