A traveller in the highlands observed while at a tavern in a small village c very beautiful collie. At his request the owner was pointed out to him, and be asked the man what he would take tor the dog.
 "YeIl be taking him to American the Scot asked cautiously.
 Certainly, if you sell him to me"
 "I no cour part vie Rob-" the dogs owner then said cmphatIeally. I'm muckIe fond-like O him." And liberal offers were no inducement
 To his aStoniShment the traveller later saw the dog sold to a drover for half what he had offered and after the droyer had disappeared requested an explanation. You said that you could not sell him." he remarked.
 A twinkle came into the highlander's eyes.
 No: I didna say I'd no sell him. ! said I couldna part vie him." he said. "RobN be hamc in two or three days Ira nOO, but cOuIdna ask him to swim across the ocean. Ma; that woul be too muckle to aSk"-Harper's Weekly.

Paris possesses q very fine gallery of modern masters, largely of the Bar. bizOn school. not one of which Is genu- inc. It is To the painter Harplgnles that France is indebted for this queer collection of the spurious Passing through the Rue de Vaugirard one day, his eye caught some canvases in a window. They were all signed by prominent names, including his own. and every signature was forged. Pass. Ing inside, the list became more exten- slve. and the painter found himself in the presence of false COrOts, Diazes, paubignys, Luucrets, Isabeys, Neu- villes and even English Turner's. The revelation of his own identity enabled Harpignies to become possessed of this collection for something less than the proverbial old song. and 1t may now be inspected by those interested in such matters at the state furniture de- pot, where 1t is preserved as kind of high water mark ln s0phistlcatlon.

Pews That Carry a Vote.

The parish church of Chertsey pos sesses q curious anomaly. It has sev- eral pews in its gallery which are bought and sold by auction, just like a table or chair, and these pews give their owners for the time being q legal right to vote at parliamentary elections in the division. Moreover, the owners of the pews have to pay the poor rate Of f2 a year into the bargain, a prIvi' lege they are not so eager to use as the former one. Many years ago the church. wardens of ChcrtSey were at their wits end in order to raise money for the res toration and repair of the sacred edi' fee, and they could find no solution to the question until some parishioner5 suggested that they should sell the gal. lery pewS to the highest bidder. They accepted the idea and obtained q spe- clal act of parliament allowing them to do this and also giving the privilege of a parliamentary yOte.-LondOn SpectR' tor.

 Defense Seeks Pontponement.
 The defense. as soon as the case was called this morning. sought to secure a further postponement by motion to uuash the venire. It was alleged that the jury commissioners had drawn the panel improperly and it was all legged that the Sheriff had not properly certified to the jury lists. There were seventeen of these counts in the motion for the quashing of the venire, and they were argued at length. pro and con. All tke morning was taken up with this wordy and legal battle But Judge Miller overru1ed the motion and ordered the trial to proceed.
 Tn the afternoon the defense ar- nounced that four of their witnesses s were not present and that the inter ests of the defendant would be seri- ously jeopardised if the case went to trial without them. The State asked that showing be presented from these absent witnesses, in order that 1t might be determined whether the showing should be admitted and the case put to trial anyhow Upon the examina- ton of these showings. all of which were made by residents of the same neighborhood in which Staliings and Buckhalts lived. the State admitted them and the trial of the case con- tinued. The court then went to work In the selection of the jury.
 The fight for the defendant Is being led by ex-Congressman J. F. Staflings. of the Second District. who is now nractIcinE law in Birmingham. The def sndant is a cousin of the ex-Con- gressman.
