The Arm of the Law.

In 4 certain Canadian city lady
was defending an action for a large
sum of money which she felt she was
not morally entitled to pay. When it
looked as if the case would go against
her She sold all her real estate and put
the proceeds. some $4,000 or more. in
her pocketbook-which in her case. rs
is the custom with some women, was
her stocl-i2g. The judgment was given
against her. and because she would not
pay, nor tell where the money was she
was sent to Jail for year. Her coun-
sci tried to get her released. The fol
lowing. conversation formed part Of
the proceedings:
You admit" said the judge, that
this woman had property to the value
Of So
Yes your honor" said the counsel.
"And' you admit that she sold the
property and put the money in her
stocking"
Yes, my lord
"!And do you mean TO tell me that
the arm of the law is not long enough
to reach it,"

The Best JUDGE.

Tie trust and dependence which
characterized the Rev. Mr.. Browns
attitude toward his wife's Judgment

"M-m-it's not aching just at

moments hesitation, during which
he made a cautious investigation
with his tongue. "Didn't Mrs.
Brown mention to you which tooth
it was? l always rely on her in
such matters."-Youth's Compan-

Herbert Speneer's Courage.

Who but Spencer would have been
content to fail as an engineer, an
inventor and a journalist and yet
keep his ambition and vitality IN
impaired? Who but Spencer would
have projected a work which could
not pay, a work which would con-
sumo his life and be judged only
by posterity and after thirty~six
wears of incessant labor complete
it? The world will pardon mach
arrogance and many crude judg-
ments for the sake of such spec
tacle of devotion and courage

hundred and fifty bodies We're found
in the lowest level Of the st. Paul

all but a score of the missing have
been accounted for The bodies were
found five hundred feet from the main
shaft on an elevated surface where
they had retreated before the ad-
vancing water and the fatal black
damp. They could not escape the lat
ter and died after struggle that may
have continued for two days.
Messages were scrawled on wood
and natural slate groupings from the
walls and placed the number Of dead
at one hundred and sixty-eight- One
message read, 1--WE are here TO die
together" Nailed on the walls were
two fans made of timbering tied about
pick handles and under them were
the biggest heaps OF bodies. Many
of the men were found with heads
resting on their arms as if sleeping,
while others were sitting as if resting
against the wall.
