the stair. And then the prince came
up and wrapped me In the bedclothes
and carried me out. He was so tall
and strong and fine! His face was as
rough as scrubbing brush. and he
talked soft and kind and smelled of
schnapps. He took me on his horse

The creditors Of the ancient king
had become so unpleasantly insistent
that he resolved to put them where
they could trouble him no more. So
he invited them to a great banquet.
and when they had Toasted and drunk
Of his prepared wine he instructed his
servants to convey them to his deepest
dungeons. And the next morning
when he went down to learn whether
his servants had done his bidding his
creditors raised their voices and en-
treated to be set free. But he remon-
strated with them, saying:
my friends, you have no just cause
for complaint. Are you not better off
in the eye Of the law than ever be-

a secured creditor has an exceptional

knowledge that he could at last go

his own company. On reprimanding
one of them sharply the irate actor

asked who that man was.

Are Fixed by Law.
The German law fixes the exact fees
which German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work, an6
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less.
These fees apply to all matters OF
the civil code and Of criminal cases
The amount, according to the Greer
Bag, depends exclusively on the value
of the object Of contention.
1t is an old though still unfulflled
wish Of German lawyers to have q
new fixed list of fees, not made aftel
the old and low standard of the year
1879, but made with consideration to
the changes-the numerous decided
changes-which have taken place since
that year.

The Diamond Carat.

In diamond language carat Is equal
to four grains. but 1t is not customary
among merchants to speak Of carats
under twelve grains. Many difficulties
In the trade are due to the fact that
the carat Of France is lighter than that
Of Leipzig. which has one lighter than
the carats Of Holland and Antwerp.
Attempts to establish a universal
standard have failed, owing to con-

Emerson Brothers Were DISMISS.
ed on Charge Preferred by
StockweII from Beach

The Beach Advance this week
contains a story about the arrest
last week of Arden and Earl EN-
erson on the complaint of Emer-
son Stockwell of Beach, who swore
out a warrant before Justice Bush
ell, charging the brothers with
stealing oats.
The brothers stood trial on the
charge and were dismissed, no
evidence connecting them with
the alleged theft from the Stock
we'll bin being adduced
The Advance man was either
pre- ejudiced in this case or too busy
to get all the facts. Had he taken
the same pains to learn the out
come as he did the alleged charge,
he would have added that the
two Emerson were dismissed.
Stockwell had no proof, merely
a suspicion. When Stockwell
again rushes into court with Grim
inal charges against innocent par
ties, he will come pretty near hav-
ing to produce tangible evidence.
