APPEALS TO JUDGE

Frederickson legally is the other half
OF Mrs. Frederickson. In size he CON-
pares as a peck to a bushel. and a
hen peck at that. SO gradually that
Freder1ckson did not seem to realize
it, Mrs. Frederickson usurped the pow
ers Of the head of tho house.
Let him remain out late at the
Georgetown lodge, and when he came
home, II his answers did not satisfy
her, and he did not have certificate
that he was sitting up with a sick
brother at Cannon Station, few miles
away, she laid him across her knee.
Then with the back of hairbrush or
half Of cedar single, she made him
yell for mercy.
Recently Mrs. Freder1ckson, In a
playful mood, bounced bottle Of
milk of his head. Then she hit him
with a poker and swung him around
her head and threw him out Of doors.
Frederickson sat outside and consult
ed his friends. They fortified him with
a certain amount of apple juice and
then suggested that he have her
arrested.
Urged by the local orator of George
town Frederickson decided to strike
back-legally.
She was brought into court. He
was there. She stood with arms fold
ed over her mighty chest, reminding

The Opportunity.

There were two lawyers, brothers,
well known in New York few years
ago, who had the popularity of gen.
orally appearing on opposite sides Of
the same case, thereby keeping the
fees in the family whichever way the
trial went. Those who knew them
we'll will remember their names, and
to those who never knew them the
names don't matter. But their first
names were Philip and David. One
day In the City Court on the first
call OF the calendar Philip answered
ready" for the plaintiff and David
answered ready" for the defendant.
On tho second call Philip again an
swered ready" but Philip asked for
an adjournment.
If Your Honor please" cried Phil
ip, my brother was ready half an
hour ago. What can have happened
to make him not ready?"
your Honor" said David, this
is what has happened. I discover
that my brother has twelve witnesses
IN court and I have only eight: so
I want an adjournment until / can
ind four more"
IT that is ALL" replied Philip, I'VE
can go on. I will lend my brother
two Of my witnesses"

On the Eating Of Crows.

Among American colloquialisms the
expression "eating crow" is one of the
most familiar. 1t is applied derisive-
ly to a self-contident person who has
suffered defeat or been forced to re-
cant some favored doctrine. There
are few Of us who haven't "eaten
crow" in that sense
But the sentence may presently &C.
quire a literal meaning. At least in
Kansas. Prof. r. L. Dyche, of the
national history department of the
University of ansas, tells the people
out there that they should all actually
eat crow. He declares, after personal
experience, that the crow is superior
to chickens and turkeys as a table
delicacy, and that the person who
hasn't partaken Of it has yet to enjoy
the choicest Of all American game
birds.
Perhaps that may be true. For
when you come to think of it you
must acknowledge that the crow is
decidedly more fastidious than the
chicken in manner and habit.

Would Be Interesting READING.

I'VE may wonder if the world will
ever be allowed to see the private cor
respondence amassed by the late
Queen Victoria" says a writer. 1T Ia
stored away in strong room built
into the walls of Buckingham palace,
and the queen shared her confidence
with no one. So long as she was
physically able to do so she opened
and closed the safe herself and ar
ranged it's contents When she was
too feeble to do this she employed an
old land trusted secretary, but even
he had to work Under the royal eye.
He was never allowed to keep the
keys nor to read the letters that he
handled. Queen Victoria was always
a voluminous letter writer, and she
was in constant communication with
most of the royalties in Europe
Every domestic secret and privacy Of
royalty during half a century is said
to be represented by the contents Of
this wonderful safe, and it is easy to
believe that the modern historian
would find his hands full II he were
permitted to browse among these let
ters. But probably he will have to
wait few hundred years, and then
his popular audience will be Ian
guild one. It is one Of the ironies Of
life that we can never have things
when we want them"

lunaev and thu Moon.

For ages there was a persistent be-
lief that lunacy, an intermittent form
of insanity, depended on the changes
of the moon. This belief, though long
since repudiated by scientists, has In
recent years been revived In non
scientific circles, particularly in Eu-
rope.
A curious case full of interest for
those who believe that the moon ex-
erts baleful influence upon the hu.
man mind is under observation In
San Francisco. Charles Sch2eher
was taken to the emergency hospital
In that city a few days ago by his
wife, who asked that he be kept I'M
der restraint until the shades OF the
earth were cast over the face Of the
moon. She explained, and her hus'
band agreed. that while entirely nor
NAL at all other times, he is seized
with a wild desire to take his own
life whenever the moon is full. With
his own consent he was placed tenn
porarily under guard. .

madness" .@@-,-%

ONE CAUSE OF BROKEN RAILS
Iron Trade Review Arises In Defense
Of the Good Name Of tho
Makers.

Recently passenger train between,
Chicago and Indianapolis was wreck
ed, although, fortunately. no one was
injured. Examination Immediately
after the wreck showed that q rail
over which the train had passed was
broken into five pieces. The railroad
employees did not fail to take advant-
age of this opportunity to call atten-
ton to the apparently inferior quality
of the rail and to convey the impress
sion that~the steel maker was ult1-
mately responsible for the accident.
However, there we're some other
very significant circumstances con-
nected with this wreck which the rail-
road people did not dwell upon. An
examination Immediately after the &C.
cident showed that several of the ties
under the broken rail were rotted to
depth of at least one and one-half
inches, and were so soft that an or
binary pocket knife could be stuck in
to the wood the full length OF it's
blade with scarcely any effort Some
OF the spikes in the ties were so loose

fingers. Several of the ties had been
broken of short by the accident. One
OF these showed q core of sound
wood OF not over ten square inches In
cross section. equal to about quarter
OF the total section area of the tie.
1t Is very evident that the real
cause OF the wreck was not due to any
failure Of the rail, but to tho fact that
the rail had practically no support
and was, therefore. subjected to enor-
nous stresses for which it mad never
been designed.
Broken rails have been rather fire.
quent lately and rail makers have
been the target for a great deal OF
criticism. 1t Is not unlikely that q
careful investigation OF all the recent
wrecks attributed to broken rails
would indicate that in several cases
1t was the ties and roadbed which
were at fault.-lron Trade Review.
