In Perfect Accord.

Some years ago there came to an
American city delightful German,
Herr Won Blitz, who intended to sup
port himself by giving lessons in his
native tongue. When he had been here
several months and had secured a
moderate number Of pupils he went
one day to the mother of one of them
and to her great surprise asked for
her daughters hand in marriage
'But, my dear sir" said she. my
daughter has no fortune"
The sutton smiled upon her in an ex-
pansive generosity.
''Me, too," said he reassuringly.
"And, although we are not rich. we
have thus far been able to give her
every comfort She is indeed used to
luxury"
"Me, too," was the smiling rejoinder
But, Herr Won Blitz, she will never
be able to manage AFFAIRS
'sMe, too" rejoiced the lover.
'And / feel obliged to tell you that
my daughter has very high temper"
''Me tOo-me too"
That was enough. The mother re-
tired from the contest, and the pro-
fessor won his suit

Quick Justice at Ascot.

Not only the horses, but the powers
Of the law, says the London Chronicle,
are swift at Ascot, for the course has
special tribunal for the punishment
Of evildoers. No sooner is the pick
pocket. welsher or ticket snatcher ar
rested than he is standing in a little
room in the royal stand, where the
evidence is heard and the verdict and
sentence pronounced before the Offend
er fully realizes that he is caught. No
where else does punishment so swift
" follow crime as at this court, which
is decreed by clause 81 of the in
dictable offenses act Of 1S4S. This
race course tribunal arose curiously
in the eighteenth century from an as
sault upon royal parsonage. In his
indignation at the impossibility of in
slant punishment Of the assailant he
ordered that in future a magistrate
should always attend the royal race
meeting. This has ever since been
done. and by the above mentioned act
the chief magistrate of Bow street was
constituted ex officio a justice of the
peace Of the county of Berks in order
to enable him to hold this court at
Ascot.

section, leaving only the hardware store
and small store on the opposite side of
the railroad track.
That the fire was of incendiary origin
is we'll established, but there is no direct
clue to the perpetrator. That kerosene
was used in large quantities is evident,
and that the intent of the incendiary
was the total destruction of the town is
shown in the manner in which the fire
started and the method employed. Total
loss is nearly $780, 900.
