Shippers who have been interview.

which happened to the Campania re.
Gently attribute 1t to the fact that the
liner must have got into what is
known In nautical language as wal
low" This. 1t appears, is caused by
one big wave following another be.
fore the ship has time to recover
from the shock OF the first. These
"wallows" are said to be of sudden
and unaccountable occurrence, but
fortunately they are experienced very
rarely. One instance Is recalled In
which vessel suffered so badly from
this kind of visitation that she had to
return TO port in badly battered con.
dition, and the officers turned up
suddenly at home like apparitions, to
the CONSERVATION of their families In
another case an Atlantic liner was

TRUE STATEMENT OF COUNSEL.
All In Courtroom Witnesses OF the
Judges Reversal.

81 once attended some legal pro.
ceedings in Nevada" says a Philadel.
phia lawyer, (which were unconven-
tional, to say the least. The Judge
presiding made up what he lacked in
legal lore by a certain entertainingly
joviality. The cnse before him was
windy and long drawn out, and 1t was
plainly to be seen that he was tired
ard uninterested. To one of his de-
cisions counsel for the defendant
promptly took exception and his hon.
or nodded carelessly and settled down
In his ample chair. For moment or
two he quietly dropped off to sleep,
his chair tilted back against the wall
Suddenly he fell over backward, and,
scrambling to his dignity and bis seat,
he sought to cloak his mishap by eX-
claiming abruptly and irrelevantly:
mo, counselor, must adhere to my
decision of a moment ago
Counsel for the defense arose, and.
with a serious bow, said: All, but
your honor has just reversed himself
most conclusively. '"-Harper's Week

STILL WATCH FOR MoNTEzuMA.
Priests Tend Sacred Fire and Await
Return OF King.


Taos stands unique and distlnct
from all the other pueblos, and Is
unusually interesting to the student Of
ethnology. 1t is there that the oter-
nal fire is said to be kept burning in
the estufa, or underground temple,
and there the priests climb daily to
the housetops and gaze toward the ris.
ing sun, hoping to see the returning
Montezuma sailing toward them on
his eagle. The fire, II is said, was
removed to this village from Pecos
In the early part of the last century,
when the latter was abandoned. Ac-
cording to rumor 1t is kept in a sa.
cred temple built in the bowels OF
the earth and connected with the sur
face by hidden passages and laby-
rinths. The priests tend the sacred
fire carefully, and, If tradition Is to be
believed, II has not been eXtingulshed
since Montezuma left the earth for his
heavenly home. Taos was also the
home of Kit Carson, the famous scout
who led Gen. Fremont through the
wilds and whose name has been sung
In many tongues. He ! led and died
In the little village, loved and respect
ed by all the administration

The Baron Himself,

A great Turkish player at big
hotel in Constantinople had been
beating everybody within a wide ra
dius at chess. One day a mean.look.
ing stranger watched the game. He
quietly offered to play. The Turk re
marked, I'm play you for hundred
sequins!" The stranger said: Very
we'll" An unusual "gambit" was Of
fered by the stranger Its acceptance
by the Turk caused the latter to lose
the game. He said: "Slr, thought
there was only one man in Europe
who understood how to take advan.
tage OF that move-Baron Won Moltke."
Sir" retorted the stranger, Il am
Baron Won Moltke, at your service"

Successive Steps From Kitchen Table
to Hall Mirror

Mrs. Compton looked at her patient
but bewildcred husband with an ex.
preston of good-natured superiority.

to explain to you, but I'm perfectly
willing to do it, of course.

Kitchen table, and | came home with
hall mirror. But 1t was an abso-
lutely natural change.
First | looked at kitchen tables
Then the clerk called my attention to
the kitchen cabinets, with drawers
and everything Then said how much
they looked like bureaus, except that
they had no glass. Then he showed
me one with glass, and then he said
ne had such pretty bureau, If |
cared to look at 1t.
so | looked at that and 1t was
pretty, but the glass was rather small.
So then he showed me a dressing case
with nice glass mirror, and ! said
what nice glass II was. And then he
said, If yen want to see fine piece
OF glass, let me show you one of our
new hall mirrors
And of course, George, you can un.
derstand that when / saw that beau
tiful mirror | had to have It; and
you know you don't like me to run
up bills in new places, and hadn't
enough to buy a kitchen table, too,

ed on Boston newspaper. This
man was the telegraph editor and was
possessed of one of those queer
streaks of humor, which he always
used at the wrong time. When the
story of 1peaker Kerr's death came

headline over the story "From
