Judge Paradise Ordered Louis Phil
ippe, When ExiIed, Confined in
His House for Violating the
Game Laws.

Louis Philippe, citizen king of the
French from 1880 to 1S48, was an
exile in this country from 1896 to
1900, and most of that period he spent
In New Jersey.
A famous dispenser of justice in the
lower half of New Jersey in those
days was a district judge of the name
OF Charles Paradise. He was widely
known, not only because of his eccen-
tricities. but also because Of his great
Integrity of character, his profound
knowledge of the law, and his exceed
ing great justice.
One day, in the year 1898. when
Judge Paradise was holding court,
there were brought before him two
men in charge of a game warden.
Your honor, 1 have a complaint to
make against these men," said the
game warden"
What is the complaints" asked the
Judge.
II accuse them of having violated
the state law which forbids the hunt
ing Of deer at this season..
The game warden was sworn and
unfolded his evidence. 81 heard the
sound of shooting" he said, land en-
tered the woods and came upon these
two men. They had already shot one
deer. l said to them that they were
violating the law and that l must ar
rest them and bring them to court.
That iS all I have tO saw
The judge turned to the accused.
You have heard the accusation.
What have you to say in reply to it,"
The older of the men, who seemed
to be about twenty-five or thirty,
bowed politely. What the officer
says is true" he answered. 1--WE did
shoot the deer. There is nothing for
us to say except that we did not
know the law said we must not shoot.

Amos J. Cummings Cast Into Waste
Basket the "Copy" of Abraham
LincoIn's Memorable Cooper
Union Address.

The fact that Abraham Lincoln re-
vised, at midnight, in the Office OF the
New York Tribune, the proof sheets
of his memorable Cooper Union ad-
dress, delivered on Washington's birth
day, 1860, is recorded in history So,
also, 1 believe, it is recorded that the
proof reader who sat by Lincoln's side
while he did this was Amos j. Cum
mings, who afterwards gained fame as
an editor and a member of congress.
But, so far as l know, the incident has
never before been reported in Mr..
Cummings own words.
Il had been told by Mr.. Greeley"
said Mr.. Cummings, chat Mr.. Lincoln
would call at the Tribune Office late in
the evening, as he was very anxious to
go over the proof slips of his Cooper
Union speech; and Mr.. Greeley asked
me especially to take charge of the
proof reading"
Il should say it was about midnight,
perhaps a little earlier.-when Lin
coin came into the proof readers
room. If l could have looked ahead
only as far as three months, am
afraid that my interest in the per-
sonality of the tall, gaunt man, before
me would have seriously interfered
with careful reading of the proofs.
But looked upon him as nothing
more than one of the best stump
speakers of the west.
He brought chair to my side and
passed the manuscript of the address
to him. Here l said, are the galley
proofs, with my corrections, Maybe
you would like to follow the manu-
script yourself and look over the
proofs at the same time, to see If
have made the proper corrections
well, 1 reckon that would be the
best way, Lincoln replied. Then, as
he adjusted his spectacles, he looked
curiously about the room and added:
This is the first time I have ever been
at midnight in the Office of great
daily newspaper. You turn day inside
out here. making night day, and day
night. Well, let's begin
1--WE went over the proofs very care
fully, and made a few changes. Then
be took the proof slips and read all of
the correction again very slowly.
by this time it was getting close to
o'clock. Mr. Lincoln said, I shall
have to hurry the corrected proofs out
10 the composing room because 1T is
getting late Do you want to wait
and see a revise?'
mo he said, I reckon we have
done all the revising that is necessary.
I think I'll go across to my hotel and
go to bed So he shook my hand,
thanked me, and left; and did not
see him again until, as soldier, /
went to washington.
"a few minutes after he had gone"
continued Mr.. Cummings, the revised
nroofs of the speech were handed to
me. I glanced them over, saw that
thew we're o. X. and then threw the
manuscript of the speech into the

WOMAN HAS
finger PIERCED
BY needle
MRS. LEONA HEATING HAS A
PAINFUL EXPERIENCE
WHILE SEWING

With one of the fingers of her
left hand pierced through and
through by the needle of the ma
chine on which she was doing some
sewing, Mrs. Leona Heating, resid-
ing near the Sundog schoolhouse,
was compelled to endure thirty min
utes of agony while awaiting the
arrival of a physician, says the
Goldfield Tribune.
Mrs. Heating was sewing and at
the same time talking animatedly
with friends, with the result that
she failed to notice how closely her
hand was approaching the flying
needle. Suddenly she uttered a
shrek of pain as the needle pierced
her finger and remained there, stop
ping the machine.
Several of her feminine friends
who were present at the time, en-
deayored to release her, but were
unsuccessful and Mrs. Heating fin-
ally decided to await the arrival of
a physician rather than chance
breaking the nedle off in her flesh.
Thirty minutes elapsed before the
Doctors arrival, and it was found
necessary after that to take off a
portion of the top of the machine
before her hand could be released
Notwithstanding her unfortunate &C.
cident did Mrs. Heating suffer ser.
ious consequences, nor is it be-
lieved that there is any danger Of
infection from the steel needle.

BEING DEVELOPED-HAS
GOOD SHOWING

Alfred Jones, superintendent of
the Dunderberg property in l X L

nesday for supplies.
Mr.. Jones brought with him some
very fine looking specimens of lead
ore, taken from the two tunnels
which have been run on the ledge.
No assays have yet been made of
these samples.
Two tunnels have been run to
cut the vein on this property at the
different levels, and in each instance
rich ore has been found. Suffic-
lent depth to satisfy the owners of
the permanence and extent of the
these tunnels, and third one, to
cut the vein at depth of 500 feet,
ing made in driving this lower tun-
mel, and Mr.. Jones expects, if no
difficulties are encountered, to strike
the ledge by the first of the year.
When the ledge is cut at this level,
if it shows up as good as it does
above, it is the intention of the
| company to lose no time in getting
the mine into shape for working,
erecting reduction plant, and
going into the bullion business

earth are contented with their lot.
How few laborers in this great
work-a-day world receive payment
commensurate, In their own eyes,
with the labor performed. How is
il with the housewife, who from
morning till night tolls increasingly
for her family, yet with all her dill
igence, must pinch here and cramp
there, keeping her own wants in
the back ground. that the house,
hold she manages may have clothes
to wear and food TO eat? II is so
throughout every department OF
industry to a great degree, and one
great crying evil is the cheapness
to which nearly all work done by
human hand is reduced. The oray-
ing for cheapness and hunting afte
bargains is not only economically
false, but cause of great suffering
to thousands of individuals, 1t is
hard, in fact impossible, to be con-
tent and be in want But when
want is past, and comparative COM
fort is granted, almost invariably
comes a craving for something still
better. and the very ones who
have felt the pressure an pinch OF

in exchange for very little pay as
