Lacked Presence Of Mind.

In the criminal court in Baltimore a
darky was on trial for stealing a
watch which he had pawned. He was
identified by the owner as the person
who had grabbed the watch out of his
pocket, yet the darky claimed he was
innocent. When asked how he came
in possession Of the watch. he said:
Il was standing on the corner when
man comes up to me and says he is
hard up and hasn't cent to buy food
with, and he wants to sell me this
watch for three dollars I knew ]
could get four dollars on 1t in pawn
and felt sorry for him and bought
the watch for three dollars and pawn.
ed 1t for four dollars. That's how I
got the watch"
The prosecutor then asked. IL he
had bought the watch for three dol.
lars, knowing he could pawn it for
four dollars. simply to help the man
along because he felt sorry for him,
why he did not advise him to pawn 1t
himself, and then ne would have had
four dollars instead OF three dollars.

to do dat."-Judges Library.

STARTLING FOR THE EMPEROR.
Pretty Present Sent to the Ruler Of
Austria.

A day or two before Easter a very
carefully tied up little parcel was left
at the Hofburg, addressed to the EN-.
peror. 1t was viewed with some sus.
picion. and as the orders are never to
accept anything that has not been
commanded, 1t was about to be re-.
fused, says the Vienna correspondent
of the London Standard, when a sound
of song was heard from within.
The servants made one of the cham.
berlains acquainted with the facts, and
1t was decided to open the packet. In.
side was found very neat little cage,
and inside the cage spry young star.
ling, which, as soon as light and air
were let in, began to whistle a series
of the most popular airs of the season.
A letter attached to the cage begged
his majesty to accept the gift. Though
the sender was aware of the strict
veto against offering presents to the
emperor. he hoped that an exception
might be made In his favor, as he had
spent nearly year in training the bird
to give moments Easter pleasure to
his sovereign.
The tone Of the letter pleased his
majesty, and while he was talking to
the official who had brought 1t the star
ling began to pipe so loudly that his
majesty broke of the conversation to
listen, and decided to send the bird to
his grandchildren, at Lainz, for their
amusement. also giving instructions to
find out the sender. If possible. and
give him suitable return present.

TWO WHO WE'RE NOT HAzEo.
West Pointers Escaped Usual Fate Of
"Freshmen."

John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans,
grand esquire of the Benevolent and
Protective Order Of Elks, Is one of the
few men who as a student at West
Point was never successfully hazed.
Col Sullivan-by virtue of the Span
ish war, as he did not remain in the
army after leaving the military acade-
my-stands six feet two inches in his
stocking feet and is built in proper
ton. The story goes that when a mob
of fellow West Pointers attempted to
practice on him the usual diabolical
arts reserved for new arrivals in the
old days, the young man from Louis
lana submitted counter proposal.
I'm willing to be hazed all right, If
you fellows are equal to the job," he
said, but l must insist on your COM
ing one at a time THAT looked easy,
but was not. The hazers came on one
at time and rumor has it that Sulli-
van whipped II of them to standstill
before making them see the futility
of further attacks. After that he was
not molested.
West Point annals contain a record
of at least one other man wko was not
hazed. He is Capt Beaumont B. Buck,
of the Sixteenth infantry. His meth.
DDS were not the sama as Sullivans s.
however. He warned the hazers not
to attempt to enter his room, and
when they tried to rush him he fired
on them with results by no means
pleasant to one young man. This was
while he was still student at pre-
paratory school near West Point.
