A Steady Job.

So many witnesses had Queered his
clients case by swearing that the
shots they had heard in shooting af-
fair were only 80 seconds apart, that
when pressed to tell what they were
doing when each report was heard.
naming actions so dissimilar that it
must have taken at least 10 minutes
to switch from one to the other, the
criminal lawyer swore that he would
maintain consistency above all things
n his latest case. Gustave, the
Swedish janitor, had heard two shots
fired at the injured man, and the law
yer impressed upon him the impor-
tance of swearing that he was engag-
ed in the same task at each shot.
In the course of the trial it was
brought out that the shots had been
fired month apart, the first being
merely a little target practice that
did no harm, the second inflicting
serious wound. But there was no
time to coach Gustave anew. Said
the lawyer:
What were you doing when the
st shot was fired?"
L was sitting in the kitchen gnaw-
ing a chicken bone" said Gustave.
And what were you doing when
the second shot was fired? Be care
full how you answer
And Gustave was careful.
II was sitting in the Kitchen said
he. "gnawing that same chicken

Went the Way of Others.

Last year when the Scott bill which
proposed to prevent speculation In
cotton futures was before congress a
number of cotton manufacturers, in
Guiding Lewis w. Parker Of Green
Vile. s. c.. appeared before the COM
mittee in support Of the bill AT the
same time a well-known cotton broker
Of the south voluntarily appeared be-
fore the committee and very vigor-
ously defended the New York Cotton
Exchange.
A few days ago this same cotton
broker attempted suicide and this
week the failure Of his firm by reason
of cotton speculation has been an
nounced.
When he appeared before the COM
mittee he was reported as being a
winner by several hundred thousand
dollars, but his end was like all 9TH
ers who have tried to beat the New
York Cotton Exchange game and his
profits vanished and became losses.
To enter a poker game against
sharps using marked cards Is no more
risk than dealing with cotton futures
under the present system.
Every town in the south can point
to men and firms who met disaster
because Of cotton speculation and al
most every graveyard has its suicide
who could not face the world when
the chalk marks upon the blackboard
of the cotton exchange went against
him-TeXtile Manufacturer.

A Nice Distinction.-In the heat of
revivals regrettable things are some
times said. Deacon Washington, COL
ored, was holding a meeting in the
Nolachucky chapel, and, being wrought
up to a high pitch of excitement, he
cried out: II see befo' me ten chicken
thieves, includin Calhoun Clay"
Instantly Calhoun Clay rose and left
the church. He was very angry. He
brought several powerful influences to
bear, and the deacon promised to apol-
ogize. So at the next meeting the old
man said:
"I desire to retract nah last nights
remahk when l stated that l see be-
fo' me ten chicken thieves, includin'
Calhoun Clay. What l should have
said, dear bretheren and sistern, was
l see befo' me nine chicken thieves, not
includin' Calhoun lay."-Detroit Free

The Bubble Reputation.-An

The Bubble Reputation.-An old
Greenock salt applied for employment
aboard a vessel, but, having no dis
charge papers, he was rejected in ia
vor of younger man whose written
credentials proved satisfactory to the
captain. Subsequently, however the
captain was unable to obtain crew of
fully qualified seamen, and at the last
moment he signed on the GreenocK
man for a transatlantic voyage.
The first day out he was put to work
washing down the deck, while his rival
with the discharge papers was perched
aloft with a bucket, adding coat of
tar to the rigging. Even as the old
salt was casting sour glances at his
qualified shipmate, the vessel gave
lurch and the unfortunate seaman
dropped over the side, bucket and all.
The old salt made his way leisurely
toward the bridge.
Now, cap'n," he said, you know that
mon yer signed on wi the papers?
We'll, what of it, my man." the cap
tain rejoined.
He's just gone off wi your bucket"

She Knew.-William Archer, the
noted English critic. said at one of the
meetings of the Reformed Spelling
board in New York:
II have been rather surprised, here
in the states, with the general ignor-
ance of what we spelling reformers are
trying to do Our aims are not at all
understood. We have no idea of going
to such ludicrous extremes as many
people think.
In fact, the average mans idea Of
reformed spelling is a good deal like
the two young ladies' idea of natural
history.
What part OF the animal does the
chop come from?' said the first young
lady. Is it the leg?'
"'Oh, not at ALL said the other
laughing. The leg! How ridiculous!
1t is, of course, the jawbone. Have you
never heard of animals licking their
chops?'"

Cutting tho Wedding Cake.

There is q distinction In these days
between the brides cake and wedding
cake The former has come to mean
that one is used at the rehearsal. while
the latter is served in boxes marked
with the initials of bride and groom.
These boxes are usually filed with
fruit cake and served from side table
in the hall as each guest leaves after
the reception. If you do not wish half
your guests to go cakeless 1t is well
to have the boxes passed out by a
waiter The most liberal providing
will not cover greedy persons, who
take home four or five boxes apiece.
The brides cake proper is generally
served the night of the rehearsal,
sometimes at the wedding breakfast.
II is usually n white cake or pound
cake iced with elaborate bridal de-
signs with white icing and contains
trinkets that are supposed to tell for
tunes.
These trinkets can be bought insfan-
cy satin boxes, which contain a ring
for the next to wed, Il penny for
wealth, thimble for the old maid, a
button for the old bachelor. Some Of
the more elaborate sets have tiny gold
>eharms, slippers. wedding bells and
hearts in addition.
The bride always cuts the first slice
Of cake. II she has a military or
naval wedding the cutting is done
with the sword Of the groom Brides
maids and ushers cut in turn.
