A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported from Natal, where a youthful Hindoo bride was recently called upon to choose between her husband and her jewels. The case came before the Dur ban police court in the first instance where the brides parents. says the Natal Mercury, accused her husband of abducting her while under thirteen years of age. The bride, however, claimed to be eighteen, and the magis- trate dismissed the case. Outside the court d tug of war took place between the two parties for the possession of the bride, in the course of which it ap- peared that what her parents particu- larly desired was not herself, but her jewelry. A sergeant of police then sat In judgment and decided that the jew elry belonged to the parents, and the girl must choose between her husband and her bracelets. After some cogita ton she chose the husband, who promptly unfastened the bangles from her arms and handed them to her parents

 "I," said an esteemed magistrate "spent a week in jail before I entered. on my judgeship. I ate the prison food. slept in cell. l conformed with all the prison rules. wore the prison clothes. did the prison work Thus learned the value of the sen tences was to mete out later on. l got to know what week month, a year, in jail meant. As result am more merciful than most judges. think 1t would be a good thing if every judge before taking office would spend little while in Jail as did. He would then know the value of prison sen tences. a thing he doesn't know now Now he is like a cashier who attempts to pay out money in a coinage of whfch he -ts' .fshozaut.

GOVERNOR FOLK TO
 CIRCUMVENT RACING

Jefferson City, Mo, April 9.-Gover- nor Folks recommendation in his proclamation calling special session of the Legislature of the state of Missouri, is thought to be due to in.i- nations he received that an attempt will be made to resume racing in St. Louis county before the amended an- ti-racing law introduced by Senator w. Ely goes into effect, about the middle of June. An emergency clause is all that the governor considers lacking in this amendment.

Four lad Snakes.

]. Snakes are much maligned creatures. although they are, for the most part. of considerable value to man, as they live almost entirely on insects and the small rodents that are injurious to crops. Of all the snakes that inhabit North America there are really only four that are dangerous. These are the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat tlesnake an! q little snake of souther,i Georgia and Florida known as ths. coral snake. Of course there are q, number of different species of the rat tier (about th;cty), but they inhabl different parts of the country aii;l are all to be known from the fact that they rattle" when approachea. All the rest of our snakes are absolutely harmless. and their bite is to be less feared than that of mosquito.-Scra Book
