me last Christmas I suppose he got ashamed
of the bull l's-eye | bought long before he was
born. Well, on the face of this watch is a
second hand, and the figures are of the Roman
kind, such as you see on almost every clock
and watch. How many of you have seen such
a watch as | have described?'
Every hand in the room was elevated.
Every WELL Then you are well prepared
to answer my question as though each OF you
had a watch with you-raher better, | think,

every boy and girl in this room who will write
on his paper or her slate the numerals as they
appear on the face of my watch"
This announcement fairly took away the
breath of the school. They could not believe
they heard Alright, for seemingly the require
ment was so simple that every one could per-
form it without difficulty.
If such should prove to be the case, it
would require a handsome sum to compensate
the pupils. The general conclusion was that
the squire was facetious, and was trying some
clever trick upon them. He observed the
looks Of general doubt, and fastened to add
This is an honest proposal, and | promise
a half-eagle in gold to every one who answers
correctly You are not required to write the

chain of islands extend from the north
western extremity out into the Pacific Ocean.
Do you remember the name of the islands?'
"Aleutan, responded nearly all the school.
What body of water lies to the NORTH?
"The Kamtschatka Sea-" answered a few
less than before.
Very well. Now, remembering that those
islands form part of Alaska, the question
ask is this: Supposing | start at the city of
New York and run Il line due west, straight
across the continent and then out into the
Pacific and on toward China, till | reach
the same longitude as the westernmost island
OF the Aleutian group; supposing | stop right

two exactly in the middle, | want you, with
out looking at your maps, to tell me about
where that middle point will be. In other
words, where is the middle point between
New York and the westernmost point of our
country
After the squire had made his question very
plain, the boys and girls began giving their
answers, while teacher and visitor smiled, and
made comments on them. They named a
score of localities all of which were as distant
from the truth as will be the guesses of you,
my young friends if you attempt to give the
right reply. Suppose you make the effort,
and then learn how far you are from the
right one.

what he said, the boys and girls went smil-
ingy at work. each confident that the re-
suit would almost bankrupt the good-hearted
squire.
BY and by slate was held up, then an
other and another, until all were raised aloft
for examination. Then the teacher and the
squire began walking around the room on a
tour of inspection. Mr. Willett himself had
been "caught" by the squire few minutes be-
fore, so he was a good judge.
Most of the states had the following:
81 ii III " V vi VII VII TX X XI XII"
But quite a number were represented thus:
81 II III iii V VI VII VIII
Those who gave the latter form were con-
fident they were right, but when told that,
ike the former, they were in error, they could
scarcely credit it.
"Ah, here is one who is right" called out
the squire, from the other end of the room,
as he caught up slate, and scrutinized the
| figures on it.
Jarvis Brinton," said the teacher; 81 was
sure if any boy would get it correctly, il
would be he; but l didn't expect even him
to do it, Jarvis, suppose you put your work
on the blackboard, SO the whole school can
see it," -, :, nn.o,,, a., .,
And Jarvis, a handsome boy of seventeen
made his way to the blackboard, near the
teachers desk, and, picking up the chalk, mad,

Others were named until lu came, because
the pupils could suggest no more places.
Are you through?" asked the squire with a
smile.
A few feeble guesses followed, and then all
signified by their silence that they had nothing
more to add.
"Well, you mustn't feel discouraged when l
say that not one of you came anywhere near
the right point. You'll open your eyes when
l tell you that the halfway point isn't in
this country at all. 1t is actually west of San
Francisco, out in the Pacific Ocean. just look
at your maps and see if it isn't
The rustic of leaves and the hum of sur
prised voices followed, for it is safe to say
every boy and girl in the room believed their
respected friend was mistaken. A few min
utes' careful examination, however showed he
was right.

Alack there wasn't one, though in a city
school the answer could not have failed to be
very different.
'Never mind; for it isn't material. You've
all seen a watch, and know as much about
'em as if you owned one apiece Now, hold

by the government in the Greene and

banking and brokerage houses.
The contention of the prosecution
was stated as being that the accounts,

The defense was asked by the court
to state its position upon this matter
Mr.. Osborne replied that the defense
would show that the transactions were
bona fide purchases for Westcott, and
that Carter did not furnish the funds
at all. as the government contended.
The defense would show, he said, that
the money came from Westcott, and
that the deficit resulting now and then
in the amount Westcott had ON deposit
was made up by Westcott.

show that Carter gave Westcott the
money with which to make good these
deficiencies"

HUNTSVILLE WILL
PAVE SOME STREETS
"shoestrne" Ward, Which Included
Negro Population, Is to Be Done
Away With.

Huntsville, February -(Special.)-The
city of Huntsville will issue $4,000 of
bonds for the purpose of raising funds
to be expended in improving the streets.
A resolution to this effect was passed at
the meeting of the City Council on last
night. The city will probably pave the
public square and one or two of the
principal streets with yitrified brick pro-
vided Madison county will pave few feet
of the streets around the county court
house.
A resolution adopted by the council
last night provides for Encouragement
of the wards of the city. This Will do
away with the shoe string Fourth ward
in which the negro population predomi-
mates. This ward is composed of a mar
row strip of territory almost surround
ing the city and was formed when the
negro voters of the ward outnumbered
the whites by ten to one. For twenty
years or more. negro aldermen were elect
ed and had it not been shaped as it was
and had the negro population been distrib-
uted among the other three wards, the
negro voters could have elected every
member of the city Council. Now that
there are few negro voters, the great
majority having been DISTINGUISHED by
constitutional restrictions, there is no ne
cessity for the present arrangement and
the wards will be arranged as IN other
cities. fe
The City Council has refused to allow
horse traders to engage in their business
on the square.
Mr. William A<ard died yesterday af-
ternoon at his home in this clty after
