Nose and the Law

Bozeman Bulger, baseball writer,

Southern Alabama, darky was
brought into court to answer a charge
of murder.
''Mose Tupper,' said the judge,
contemplating the prisoner over his
spectacles, "you are accused here OF
one of the most serious crimes known
to our laws-towit, the taking OF a
human life. Are you properly repre-
sented by counsel?"
t.No, suh," said the darky cheer
fully.
"Well, have you talked to any
one about your defense since your
arrest?'
sI told the sheriff about the shoot

me heah,' said the prisoner-"but
that's ALL"
"And have you taken no steps
whatever to engage a lawyer?"

fully, ct amt got no money to be
wastin' on lawyers. Dey tell me

"If you have no funds" insisted
the Judge, ''it lies within the power
of the court to appoint an attorney
to defend you without charge"
"You needn't be bothin' yo-se'f,

Thought Hog Had Jaundice.

Several weeks ago a citizen OF
Mooresville was confined to his bed
with jaundice. Having a fine 400
pound hog that was ready for the
butcher, he sent for a colored man
to kill and dress his hogship. The
darky carried out the instructions
and delivered the fine porker to a
nearby merchant In dressing the hog
the darky had got his water too hot
and of course the skin turned bit
yellow. When the hog was delivered
to the merchant, the latter said to
the darky:
"Uncle Jim, what is the matter
with this hog, that the skin is so
Yellow"
"To tell yer de trufe, white man,
dat hog shore is got de yaller jan
ders. I seed it turn yellow whe !
took it outen de water. OATS whut
de matter wild de man what it long
to, and de hog done ketched it, too"
The story of the darky was be-
lieved and the meat was turned back
to the owner. The owner being too
sick to look after it, and believing
that something really was the matter
with the animal, the hog was carried
a good distance from town and cast
away. This 400-pound porker was
lost to man who can ill-afford such

Smooth and unwrinkled and glossy

Horse Leaps on Train.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. l6.-The
unusual sight of horse leaplng
from a bridge, alighting on top of
a passenger coach while the train
was running 35 miles an hour, fall
ing to the ground, Immediately
scrambled to it's feet and running
away, is what was witnessed by pas
sengers and crew on train No. IL on
the Cincinnati Southern Railway in
the Citico yards here.
The horse had been frightened by
a Southern Railway train and had
taken to the concrete bridge which
spans the tracks of the Cincinnati
Southern. As the animal came to
the center of the bridge, the Cinc1n-
natl train passed under the struc-
ture at a rapid rate of speed. The
frightened animal sprang far clear
of the bridge, alighting squarely on
his feet on the roof of a coach. He
staggered about like a brakeman
who had lost his balance, fell heavily
to the roof, rolled to the edge, and
fell into space. As he went he kicked
the ventilators out of the car, and in
passing a window on his way down,
his feet crashed through the glass
taking the window out, sash and all.
The train was stopped and backed
to the spot where the horse had
fallen. The animal was lying as If
dead when the train crew reached
him. Flagman J. R. Ford was first
to reach the PROSTATE animal, and
was startled to see the beast leap to
it's feet and start to run. Apparently
from the manner in which the horse
made it's getaway, it was none the
worse for it's peculiar experience.
The owner OF the horse has not been
located.

HAD TO STAY IN.
Unfortunate Guy Who Tried to Get
Out Of Politics.

A man who enters politics loses
his peace of mind, according to
story told by Senator Bob" Taylor,
of Tennessee.
Il once knew a man from my part
of the country" said Senator Taylor,
"who had a nice little farm and was
entirely satisfied with life. Some
well-meaning friends, however, came
along and persuaded him to run for
the legislature. After good bit OF
coaxing they succeeded and he was
defeated. Not content, he decided that
at the next election he would again be
a candidate, and so on for 80 years.
FINALLY he became convinced that
the people did not want him to rep
resent them in the legislature and he
decided to commit suicide.
mot wishing to make failure OF
the job, he bought rope, some kero-
sene and a revolver. Then taking his
old boat he rowed down the river
which flowed near his farm until he
came to a big overhanging tree. He
saturated his clothes with oil, placed
the rope around his neck and tied it
to the tree, struck match on his
trousers and kicked away the boat.
He then placed the revolver to his
head and fired.
"The revolver shot struck his head
and glanced off, cutting the rope and
letting him fall in the water, which
extinguished the blaze. He Waded
out, and when he found himself in
tact, concluded that Divine Provi-
dence had saved him.
AT the next election he ran on a
reform ticket. Washington CORE

ON DEPOSIT 40 YEARS.
A Lone Dime Stayed That Long in a
New Jersey Bank.

There was a sigh of relief among
the employees of the Half-Dime Saw
ings Bank, Orange, N. j., at closing
time last month, when an account OF
10 cents was closed by a depositor,
says a New York special. It had been
on the books for the last forty years.
Frederick Egner, assistant cashier,
was surprised when the man walked
into the institution to-day and asked
for his deposit. The man, who Is
employed by a New Jersey newspa-
per, was lad of IL in 1872 when he
deposited a dime which he hoped
would be the nucleus for substan-
tial account. Soon after he left it
with the bank he moved with his
family from the city.
The deposit was recalled to him,
and to-day, while on a business trip
to Orange, the man stopped at the
bank. He showed his original receipt
and Mr.. Egner passed him out new
piece of silver.
In the 40 years the dime has been
placed to the depositor's account it
has figured in many balance sheets,
and it's worth has been consumed
many times oyer in the ink, paper
and time given it by clerks who had
to keep track of it. In all trial bal
ances that stubborn dime had to be
reckoned with, and it's withdrawal
has ended an odd existence rare in
banking annals. As no interest is al
lowed in Jersey savings banks to
sums less than 81, the solitary coin
in it's 40 years in the bank did not
increase.
