Writ Was Not Served.

A ludicrous incident occurred when
Carter. the lion king, as he was called.
was exhibiting with Ducrow, at Lon
Ion. A manager with whom Carter
had made and broken an engagement,
issued a writ against him. The bailiffs
came up to the stage door and asked
,ol Carter. "Show the gentlemen up"
said Ducrow; and when they reached
the stage there sat Carter composedly
In the great cage, with an enormous
ion on each side of him. There's
Mr.. Carter, waiting for you, gentle
men, said Ducrow. 60 in and take
him. Carter, my boy, open the door,"
Carter proceeded to obey, at the same
lime eliciting by a private signal q
tremendous roar from his companions.
The bailiffs staggered back in terror,
rolled over each other as they rushed
downstairs, and nearly tainted before
they reached the street.

BIG CONTRAST IN METHODS
Difference In Way American and Can
adIan Authorities Deal With
the lndlans.

A recently issued book on THE
Riders of the Plains" an account of
the northwest mounted police OF Can
ada. published In London, gives a
number Of Instances showing the diff
ference between the Canadian and the
United States methods of treating the
Indians. One of these Is to the effect
that a number of Canadian Indians,
who had been concerned in the half
breeds rebellion of many years ago,
fed over the border to the states.
These most undesirable immigrants
were told they must go back. The
Canadian government finally said 1t
would take care of these Indians If
the states would send them over the
border. And here Is the conclusion
of the story:
In due course 200 very dissatisfied
and wiid-eyed Crees, with $50 horses,
were rounded up and started north
ward, with a strong force Of United
States cavalry in attendance. They
were met at the boundary line by
LuI6e nlOuutCu pOiiSOhiSh, Il
and two troopers.
The American commanding oficer
locked at them with a surprised air.
where's your escort for these In
dians?" he asked.
We're here" answered the cor
poral.
"Yes, yes, I see. But where's your
regiment"
Il guess it's here, all right" said
the corporal. "The other fellows look
Ing after the breakfast things"
But are there only four OF you.
then?"
That's so, colonel; but you see, We
wear the queens scarlet"
And these four redcoats were all
that we're necessary to take these 200
Indians, theil horses and belongings
a distance of more than n hundred
miles into Canadian territory where
they could bother the United States
40 more.

DROWNED THE MUSIC.

The Audience Was Angry, and Thse-
dors Thomas Was Obstinate.
Theodore Thomas once undertook to
raise a subscription fund for a series
Of concerts in San Francisco, but only
$4,000 had been raised, and the en-
terprise hung fire. Then he announced
that Emma Thursby would sing ct
each concert, and the guarantee FUND
promptly went up to $4,000.
Thomas had q rule against encores
for soloists. They we're allowed to ap-
pear and bow In recognition OF ap-
plause, but that was all. The San
Franciscans held that as 1t was Miss
Thursby's engagement which was re-
sponsible for the raising Of the fund
they were entitled to encore her II they
chose. Thomas, however, insisted
stubbornly on his rule.
On the last night a determined effort
was made to encore her. She appeared
again and again, bowling her thanks,
and each time the applause increased
instead of diminishing. At last the
audience began to shout its demands
instead of merely applauding, and Miss
Thursby turned to Thomas and said,
"What shall / do"
keep on bowling If you have to bow
all night" snapped Thomas grimly.
And she went out and bowed again.
This time Thomas directed the orches-
ira to go ahead with the final number.
The audience, thoroughly indignant.
shouted down the music, but Thomas
was ~inhexible. The orchestra went on
playing, utterly unheard, in a nande-
monium of shouted protests. And 1t
was probably the only time that a
Thomas number fell on deaf cars

was formed after nrussia's victory In
1866. there was nothing left for them
TO do but to give their allegiance to Its
successor, the empire.
Each is represented in the bundesrath,
or federal council, as well as in the
reichstag. and each retains the repub-
lican principle In its local legislation.
The Hamburg senate may have fallen
from Its highest estate, but 1t still lives
and legislates concurrently with the
house Of burgesses. The burgomaster

The Irony Of Fate.

In Ohio one Of the most promi-
nent judges of the state has been
sentenced TO serve a term of two
years in the state penitentlary
for malfeasance in the SETTLE
ment of an estate of which ne
was executor.
The former jurist for many
years served on the bench with
distinction. He was rarely re
versed by the higher courts
His decisions have frequently
been cited from the Ohio Reports,
as they were often quoted by the
supreme judges.
Yet this distinguished jurist
must now occupy a cell in the
same institution to which he sent
so many unfcrtunates while on
the bench.
This is the irony of fate. 1t
would be interesting to note the
meeting of the Judge and the. Of
tenders sentenced by him when
the portals Of exile close upon
him.
The amount that the former
Judge withheld was not exces-
sive, yet the evidence of his
crime was such that the courts
could do nothing else but award
the minimum sentence OF the
law.
Here is a man distinguished
among men. a man of family,
respected by all who have known
him in the past, a moving figure
in church and political circles, a
Judge with a splendid record on
the bench and with a substantial
practice.
Before him lay the future, a
future of promise. Behind stood
a creditable monument OF
achievement we'll performed.
For the sake of a paltry amount
he tossed all to the winds and
lost.
Why is it that a man endowed
with such e~ndowments, and
knowing the law so well, will
yield to a temptation which he
must know will sooner or later
be exposed?
It is different with the common
thief. He has little to lose and
much to gain. The prison has
no exceeding horror for him. He
can afford to take the chances.
There will not be a great change
in his after life. Sometimes he
is better off within than he is
without the penitentiary. Under
such circumstances his crimes
can be understood.
With the Ohio judge the con-
ditions were reversed; he had
everything to lose and but little
to gain. He yielded to the i'm
pulse of the moment. 1t will
cause him to appear with others,
and when once the stripes are
donned and a man joins in the
prison lockstep all look alike.
Names are registered with the
chief warden and a record pre-
served in the office, but with
shaver head, prison garments
and numbers assigned, no one
man is better than another. re
