JOKE OF ENGLISH LAWYER,
Writes Satirical Tale the Title of
Which Catches an American
Librarian.

+ How | Became a Judge; Being the
"reminiscences Of the Honorable Mr..
Justice Rater," is the title Of an anus
ing little book written by satirical
lawyer recently.
The humorous sketches of life at the
bar was widely appreciated and quick
ly passed through three editions. A
copy found its way to the library Of
congress. Washington, and one of the
Librarians plainly jumped to the con-
clusion that Justice Rater is a real,
live ornament to the English bench.
At any rate, the librarian addressed a
reply-paid postal card to the author
in care of his publishers, thus:
Justice Chumley Rater, care of J.
B. Nichols & Sons, parliament man
sions, Victoria street S. W., London,
England"
Justice Chumley Rater was asked to
furnish the librarian with brief au-
photography and the titles of any 9TH
ers of his published works so that
they could be catalogued in the library
of congress-.
Moral-When English jokes are ex.
ported to America they should be la
beled.

SENDS POTATOES BY MAIL.
Novel Method of Saving Fourteen
Cents a Pound Found by
Alaska Man.

John r. Dodson, an Alaska miner,
bought so pounds of potatoes and or
dered them sent to Mastodon, Alaska.
by United States mail, says Portland
(Ore.) report.
He paid 5000 for the lot and for
their carriage by mail into the in
terror of the northern territory, which
will make the "spuds" cost 81 cents a
pound laid down at their destination.
At that price he saved IA cents a
pound on the price in the markets
there
'It is not the saving in expense that
induced me to do this" said Dodson.
"Up there we don't go to much bother
to save seven dollars. But we are anx-
ious to illustrate to the people of the
United States how the government is
holding back the development of
Alaska, and when l tell you what the
Canadian government is doing for the
Klondike country, just across the line,
then the people will understand that
something is wrong with the Alaskan
policy of this country"

Pafchnnli

The patchouli plant is natiye OF
India and China, where 1t is quite
common. 1t is also grown successfully
in Ceylon, Paraguay and the French
possessions Of La Reunion. The leaves
and branches possess musk-!ike per-
fume, and upon distillation furnish the
essence of patchouli. It resembles the
sage plant in height and form, but Its
leaves are less fieshy.

oped that Mrs Rogers. the Bennington

cording to the son of Deputy Sheriff
Kinney. the hanging was attended by
the most horrible scene ever witnessed
at an execution in this state.
The rope stretched from three to six
inches, the woman's feet came down
fiat on the floor and as she wriggled
and twisted convulsiyely in her agony
two deputies on the platform above
her grasped the rope. and. hosting her
into midair. held her suspended and
gasping until the requirements of the
law had been fulfilled.
Then every man in the execution
chamber. including the three Vermont
newspaper men who were delegated To
represent the entire press, was sworn
to secrecy and a statement was issued
to the effect that the hanging had been
accomplished successfully and without
any untoward incident.
