A Bad Change.

While holding a term Of court at
Augusta once Judge Walton sentenced
a man to seven years in prison for a
grave crime The respondents coun-
sci asked for mitigation Of the SEN
tence on the ground that the prison.
er's health was very poor. "Your
honor" said he, II am satisfied that
my client cannot live out half that
term, and I beg Of you to change the
sentence" "Well, under those circum-
stances" said the judge, Il will
change the sentence. I will make 1t
for life instead of seven years" 1t is
almost needless to add that the re-
spondent chose to abide by the orig
inal sentence, which the judge per-
mitted him to elect.-Argonaut

Fine Dinner For Hungry Crowd on .
Small Capital.
Years ago the late Senator E. w.
Carmack was editor Of the Nashville
Democrat, a paper that had precari-
GUS life and flickered out on Thanks
giving day.
When the staff came around on
Thanksgiving afternoon Carmack met
them with the announcement that the
paper was dead and that they were oil
without jobs. This was saddcr than It
seems now, for the paper had not been
paying salaries for some time.
Boys" said Carmack, 'it's all over.
The sheet is dead. But we shall not
want for Thanksgiving day dinner.
How much money have we? A search
of all pockets showed $40.
PLENTY" said Carmack. "Come with
me-"
They went to the best restaurant
and sat down, and Carmack ordered q
sumptuous dinner, with turkey and
everything complete. After the dinner
was over and the diners were smoking
the best cigars the house had Carmack
called the waiter in his grandest man
ner and said: boy, you have served
us admirably. We are more than
pleased. Here is small sum to com.
pensate you for your trouble and as
slight token OF our qualification"
Thank yo'. boss" grinned the walt
err; thank yo'. But how about this
we're check of 1910 for that dinner
you all just had?"
BOY" exclaimed Carmack, what i
your status here? Are you waiter OF
are you the financial manager Of this
concernf'
"'Deed, boss, rs only walter"
"Well. them" said Carmack, "don'1
trouble yourself about the financial
affairs Of the place. Leave that to thu
manager" And he stalked out, fol
lowed by the Toasted staff.
But he paid when fortune smiled
again.-Cleveland Leader.

ROTTEN COTTON GLOVES.
The Origin Of One Time Popular
Slanq Phrase.

Slang Phrase.
The origin Of "rotten cotton gloves"
phrase which for some years be-
longed to the slang Of England and
America, is worth relating. At time
when John lie Hay was playing at the
Prince of. Wales he was command
ed" to give his ventriloquial perform
ance at birthday entertainment at
Sandringham.
His two figures, the usual squeaky
old lady and the usual rude old man,
had been newly dressed for the occa-
sion. that their clothes might not SUI
fer too keenly by comparison with the
rich surroundings. But when Mr.. le
Hay had placed them in position and
was about to begin his "show" he
found to his disgust that his costumer
had forgotten to change the old mans
dirty cotton gloves for pair Of new
kids.
The tone of shabbiness this gave to
the male figure was too conspicuous
to be ignored by poor Mr.. lie Hay, and
in an eternal half minute his quick
wit found a way out of the trouble for
him.
"a nice thing" remarked the male
doll, looking around at the royal audi
ence with alarm, bringing me to a
swell house like this in these terrible
gloves!'
This caused so much amusement
that the ventriloquist decided to make
more Of the "wheeze," and the badly
behaved old gentleman's incessant
grumble throughout the entertain.
ment, "rotten cotton Gloves" proved
one Of the chief successes Of the even
ing.
The Zine" was in all Mr.. lie Hays
subsequent performances in America
as we'll as in England, and If, say, q
man had had bad deal in Wall street
or in Throgmorton avenue it was the
usual thing to say that he had rot
ten cotton deal."-London NJ. A. P.

Fine Old Spanish Emera,Ss.

''Fine old Spanish emeralds'' Is
phrase which means something quite
different from what it seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined IN
Spain, but after the conquest Of Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities Of loot, of which emeralds
formed an important part. In this
way the finest emeralds came into
possession Of the old Spanish families,
and as very few had been seen in
Europe previous to that time all the
best stones soon became classed as
fine old Spanish emeralds. Today the
expression still applies to the best
emeralds Of any source.

CITY N COLD GRASP Of
STORM KING
SIDEWALKS AND STREETS rs
COVERED WITH COATING
OF DANGEROUS ICE.

Not in many years has Astoria ex-
perienced a more disagreeable day
than yesterday, when the wind, rain
and,eold sleet, and the slippery walks,
all combined to make il time long
to be remembered BY old and young,
The worst feature, Of course, was the
icy condition Of the walks and streets,
and Il was not possible to move any
where with any degree of comfort or
of safety, Many pedestrian took
swift and undignihed tumble, and that
the accidents were not more numer-
GUS seemed greatly a matter Of good
fortune. All day long, as well as
through all OF the proceeding night,
the city was in the icy grip of the
storm. The streets were compare
lively deserted, and only those who
were compelled to take their horses
out did 50, as il was almost impossible
for the eQuines to keep their feet even
il shod sharp. The Luriine kept her
dock ali day long as a sort Of
huge illustration of the tempestuous
and icy day,
The fuel bills have been piling up
high the last few days, too, and doubt,
less many win be glad when the
wind veers around to the south again.
But there was another side to the
storm, and a cheerful side, too.
Every little boy and girl in the city
seemed to have had the time Of their
lives all day yesterday in coasting
down the hills. II was a wonderful
time for coasting, With the sidewalks
and streets as smooth and icy as the
frozen surface Of a lake the oppor.
tunities for eoasting were simply un-
limited, and in few cities are the hills
better arranged than here for this |
spot. A long swift coast Of four
blocks was nothing.
Down went the sleds with a ker-
plunk-as the boys went 'bellykerfop'
and then came the swift fight down
the hill sides In some places the
boys would attain a speed Of appar-
emily rs miles an hour. which is sure
ly going some"
One or two cutters appeared on the
streets last night, the horse drawing
one being ripped out with sleight
bells after the good old fashion Of
back East"
