An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned al
the Birmingham police court by pris'
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one OF being drunk
and diserderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
few of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list OF his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, reali0
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter
and broad smile spread over his face
His blunder did not cost anything

Georgotto Fontano, an embro1derer
who lives In the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fance. AS
he happens to be fireman whose
station Is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding call.
She did so anr in few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons all laden with firemen, of course,
but alas her fance was not ameng
them, and more than that all the IRE
men we're angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be a simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the - covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle OF the
table mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors OF
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians. and
the cakes we're served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson

Not Altogether Dead,

Mr. Robert Butler of Marlborough,
England, has had the peculiar expe-
rience of hearing his death ann'ounc-

conference at Exeter when one of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence of the death Of Mr. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one Of
the representatives Of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference,
amid much amusement, that, SO far
as he was aware, he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the office If the

disappearance of counterfeits. I'VE

the party, "as to the genuineness OF
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took a $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding it up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
one knew, and by way Of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born In May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened al
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last

Planting Wedding Oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm, wife OF
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task of reviving one OF Germany's
Oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately az
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side In
park or by the roadside OF their ma
tive town.
The town Of Mulchausen, in Thur1n-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal A municipal OH cial ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom 70 drive with him In car
rage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenbure
with the object Of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war. Tit
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted number o
fruit trees.
