Having made the trip across the pond as many times as she has fingers and toes, my friend whom I shall designate as "The Veteran Traveller" was dis cussing with me a few days since her various experiences-humorous and otherwise, and among other things, to my great surprise she remarked that she always asked for an upper berth when she made her reservations.
 1T simply can't understand such a thing" said in astonishment. Two of the worst inconvenience in life, to my way of thinking, are having to dress by 8 coal oil lamp and sleeping in an upper berth, whether on land or on sea. Of course sometimes people can't get anything but an upper; some- times they have an upper thrust upon them (by the steamship agent), but I can't understand any sane, well-bal- anced person ever acquiring one delib- erately."
 T wish you could have seen the look of astonishment that came upon the countenance of the polite young
 
 I asked for an upper breath" said the Veteran Traveller. He turned pale, and then red, white and blue all in suo- cesslon, while with one accord every body in the office, even those polite persons who always pretend not to hear one's conversation, not intended for their ears, stopped what they were say f-k~ J.r tla lessly."
 Well you didn't blame them, did you? It was a real boom thrown into camp" I suggested.
 From theirs and your point of view, yes; from mine, Mo-" said the Veteran Traveller. Many times, when I have tried to make my reservations, I have held out, fought, b1ed and died for a lower berth. I have quarreled with the nice young man who has tried to sell me an upper. I have had rows with pursefs, fusses with stewardesses, and pitch batteles with captains for lowers, and 1t always terminated with my get ting an upper every time I crossed the Atlantic, so now I reserve one-to be sure of what I am going to get"
 1T can't understand why you didn't get to occupy a lower, if you had en- gagged one" I murmured.
 Well, I'll tell you why" answered the Veteran Traveller. "One time when I was shown to my state room, sitting joyously on the edge of my breth pre- pairing to ascend above me, was a study old girl weighing about 300 pounds, and as tall as telegraph pole. She was doing up her blonde hair, which looked like. a dish of scrambled eggs, into curl papers-the kind Mrs. Martha Bardell must have used when she tainted in MT. PiclSwick's arms.'
 That was rather a fierce proposi- tion," I remarked. Not Mrs. Bardell's s situation, but that of your friend"
 q cared nothing about the yellow hair and the curl papers, but I did seriously object to her 300 pounds avoirdupois, resting above my weary soul, on that 10 days trip across"
 And what happened?" I asked.
 Simply this" replied the traveller. "No sooner had I entered and deposited my traps than she said sweetly, My dear, are you the unfortunate victim who must repose in the berth beneath mine? I certainly feel sorry for you, for they don't make these things very strong.

producing an order from Chief Justice
w. ]. Pope of the state supreme court,
forbidding the case to be tried until the
appeal before the supreme bench should
be heard, which could not be done until
the latter part of November at earliest
This brought the intended trial for which
nearly two hundred witnesses had been
summoned, to, an abrupt termination.
When the case came before the state
supreme court in November It was on
two motions, one on the appeal from
Judge Hydrick's order refusing bail, and
another on direct appeal for bail to the
supreme court. After the arguments the
hearing was not continued until several
weeks later, when II was resumed and
an order handed down dismissing tho
application and refusing bail, which was
signed by two of the associate justices,
Chief Justice Pope dissenting.
Jones was in attendance at the hearing
in Columbia in the custody of the sher
if and afterwards was committed to the
county jail here, where he has been con-
fined ever since.
