PLEASANT DAY FOR PRISoNERl
Circumstances Seemed to Combine to
Make Unhappy Time for Vic

record on file in the library Of the
United States congress contains an
account of the adventures of a certain
Hubbard. who was sentenced In Bos-
ton to the stocks for having INDUCED
In an unwarrantable ut Of Ill temper.
When lie had taken his seat for the
day there came along q drove of
swine, which seemed to east upon him
those leering looks that only q fat pig
can bestow A dog followed, shifting
at the prisoners feet and making
feints-unpleasantly approaching real
ity-of biting him. Then q cock.
mounting to the very top Of the stocks,
crowed his derision upon the victim
below. and presently a rough fellow,
after indulging In ugly taunts, threw
at him fetid toadstools and a dead
snake.
Then an Indian appeared, who, in
drunken rage. stimulated by some
fancied injury, rushed at Hubbard
with a tomahawk. probably intending
nothing worse. however. than to give
him a severe fright. which he Ger.
tainly succeeded In doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-.
ter. for at that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at
tention was attracted by the stocks
and with a roar he prepared for q
charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage
darted on. The bull made a dash at
the stocks and carried away the cor.
ner post. but without even grazing
the object Of his apparent wrath.
Whether he was Disguised by the lit
tie he had accomplished or his ami
mostly was thus satisfied, he started

MADE A PERSONAL APPEAL
suPplantsd Laundrsss Successful In
Effort TO Retain Patronage Of
Duke Of the Abruzzl.

At Salsomagsiore, says o writer in
McCIure's, there was 4 laundress who
had always enjoyed the patronage of
the Duke Of the Abruxzi whenever he
came there to take the cure on his re-
turn from one Of his expeditions. The
duke Of course knew nothing about
this matter, which was attended to
by his chaufeur-valet. Now, for some
reason, Of which I am ignorant, the
servant had taken a notion to change
laundresses; hence great humiliation
on the part Of the good little woman,
who naturally priced her celebrated
patron. What was she to do? She
wanted to get an explanation Of the
matter, at any rate; 30 one day she
placed herself on the road whore the
duke was to pass. When he came up
she said to him: "Your highness 10 no
longer satisfied with your former
laundress" who said so7" why.
your highness no longer sends me his
linen and am very unhappy about
IT," my poor child" exclaimed the
prince. II knew nothing about Il!
Come with me and we will settle the
matter out of hand" The duke or.
dered his chauffeur to send his linen
to his usual laundress in the future
and when she narrated this incident
to me (for ] was also one OF her pa.
trons) she added enthusiastically:
"And he isn't BIT proud, IL our duke.
for he IL the first man who ever lifted
his hat to me-"
