Musical Swiss Horses.

The Swiss horse is apparently q
very musical animal-or not, accord
ing to the hearers ear. Strings OF
bells are hung round their necks, pro-
ducing a musical jangle at every step.
Some of the horses with the most
bells, noticed, were the thinnest-
apparently they went without food to
buy bells. A horse like that ought to
be restrained.

Switzerland. Hitherto l had found the
people extremely kind and consider

are not Intentionally unkind to their
horses in Switzerland, but it seems
to me they are tride inconsiderate.

coverable reason, carries a fire buck

see one in use, and have no idea what
they are carried for, is slung on the

adelphia; that he would probably be
required to remain there during the
| operation and the convalescence of the
patient, and requested them to consent
| to a postponement of the case until
the following term. The attorneys
courteously expressed their regret,
but replied that this was a criminal
trial, and that they could not consent
to any order, no matter what. Still,
they could not see how their client
would be pre1udiced by such a con-
tinuance, and if the judge wished to
enter such an order, they would make
no vigorous oral argument against it.
When the court convened on Mon
day morning, the judge made the con-
tinuance upon the motion of the dis
trict attorney. This motion was not
strenuously resisted by the counsel for
Jeremiah Patton. They offered a for
NAL objection for the prisoner, which
was overruled. and the exception was
entered on the record. The Judge dis
charged the jury, ordered a new panel
and took up the trial of some petty
revenue cases, the assistant district
attorney appearing for the govern
ment.
Stetheimer explained the meaning
of this continuance to the public by
covertly suggesting the story told to
the Judge. The public was appeased
with the promise Of more and promin-
ent victims, and the district attorney
stood justified in the conduct of his
case. Moreover, his reputation for
shrewdness was established, and his
figure as far-sighted, incorruptible
public servant on the trail Of higher
thieves heightened, widened, loomed
larger. He left Immediately for New
York accompanied by his wife, wLO
was taken to the station in en- amhu-
lance.
Jacob Solmeyer arranged b meeting
Of some of the more prosperous lofsk-
ing Of his clients and took tho district
attorney before them. They discussed
the problems of the great combine,
questioned the lawyer at length uaon
the status of their rights under the
interstate Commerce Act, the passi-
bility of a Federal investigation, the
effect of such a move on tas bones Of
the trust as a security, and the
scope of the act in its criminal fea-
lures.
The district attorney ssurre6 over
the difficulties in the FeGeral statue,
pointing out that the section providing
individual punishment for violation of
the act was already dead letter, that
the act itself was largely bugaboo to
appease the farmer. He urged the
combine and promised immunity in
Missouri. Solmeyer's bankers ad-
iourned without finally determining
upon the loan to the contemplated
combine. However, they agreed to
employ the district attorney, in case
the loan was made, and to pay him
twenty-five thousand dollars a year

SLAUGHTER of the Gator.

Alligator hunting in Colombia Is an
industry which furnishes the natives
with considerable sport 1t is car
ried on along the Magdalena river
from December to April, and in
July and August. During these rain
less months the streams subside,
draining the great alluvial plains
which border the main stream. The
alligators, which rushed out onto the
inundated fats during the previous
swelling of the river, crowd back
through the connecting branches and
channels, where the Indian hunters
slaughter them in large numbers,
spearing them and hauling them out
on the banks, where they are stunned
and then beheaded with long-handled
axes. Rifles are not used owing to
the prohibition of the use of firearms
except shotguns. Hundreds OF alli-
gators are also left stuck in the deep
slime left by the receding waters.

an accuittal, precluding retrial and
working the discharge of the prisoner.
jeremiah Patton has been put to trial,
the evidence against him was intro
duced; then, upon the motion of the
district attorney, without any reason
given on the record, and over the pris-
oner's protest, the case was contin-
facts here are in accordance with
those in the case cited. The decision
of the associate court is not to be
disregarded, and the prisoner must
be set at liberty"
The judge paused a moment, took
and looked down at the packed sea
of faces. ct would be folly" he said,
for me to do other than sustain this
motion. The United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals would Immediately
reverse me. The government would
be put to the expense of a useless APP
peal, and l would be subject to cen
sure as an arbitrary public servant,
disregarding the doctrine Of law es-
tablished by an associate court. By
curious accident, this prisoner steps
outside the power of the law through
one of the numerous safeguards which
our judicial system throws around q

not know whether or not jeremiah

old PreIudlees Die Hard.

Ancient prejudices have certain
vitality about them that defies time.
There are plenty of Englishmen to-
day who will lose their temper in
discussion on the character of Oliver
Cromwell, and now we find heated
debate in the French chamber on the
propriety of celebrating the birth an
niversary of Jean Jacques Rousseau,
who first opened his eyes upon the
world two hundred years ago. The
proposal was holly opposed by the
Monarchist- Catholic minority, number
ing 112 votes, who denounced the be-
stowal of posthumous honors upon
the man who was described as the
father of anarchy. And yet there is
hardly an intelligent man in the
France Of today who would hesitate
to subscribe to every article in the
Contrat Sociale. Compared with the
mildest radical of today, Rousseau
would rank almost as conservative

while he could, while the winged hand
of opportunity was reached out to
him. Money was the only actual pow
er that could be stored away against
the time of need. Everything else
was like fairy gold-yellow oaii leaves
on the morning after. Still, Stetheim-
er feared to abandon the case to sub
ordinates and go out of St Louis. He
would be open to the charge of hav-
ing been purchased by the defendant:
besides that, the assistant district at
torney would step up into his place
before the public eye. He must find
some other way.
In his extremity, he determined to
apply to the judge for postponement
Of the trial until the next term of
court. This would give him an oppor-
tunity to meet the bankers in New
York. and still conduct the case. He
went at once to the judge and explain
ed that he had just discovered a posi-
BILE connection of several other prom
inent persons with the wrecking of
the Patton National bank, and that,
before he cross-examined jeremiah
Patton. he wished thoroughly to in
vestigate this evidence and fortify
himself with all the details. This
would take considerable time. Stet-
heimer strengthened his suggestion
with excellent arguments-it was a
matter of the greatest public impor.
lance; thousands OF helpless deposit
tors relied wholly on the courts to in
sure the fidelity of their bankers;
swift, complete, ruthless punishment
of every person involved, high or low,
was their only safeguard. He wished
to ferret cut every one of the Grim
inals concerned, to run them down,
brand them as thieves, and hand them
over to the warden of the penitentiary,
and the Judge must give him ample
time in which to do this. In fact, it
was a duty owed to the whole PEG,
pie of Missouri. The judge decided
finally that, If these were the facts,
he would direct continuance upon
the motion of the district attorney.
Stetheimer went then to the attor-
neys for Jeremiah Patton. He said to
them that his wife was i'll, threatened
with appendicitis, it was thought: that

might attempt to bring the matter in
to court, and thereby affect the bonds
of this syndicate, which they would
hold as their security. If, however,
the principal Office of this great pro-
jected company could be placed in
some large city of the west, where the
district attorney of the United States
was a person of conservative ideas,
they would furnish the money; other
wise they would not. Solmeyer rep
resented these bankers, and this was
the problem they had presented to
him for solution. He had gone care
fully over the entire field, and finally
settled upon the district attorney Of
ST. Louis as filling every requirement
of his clients. If he could act,
Solmeyer would pay him i've thousand
dollars as retainer; then, when the
bankers held their meeting in New
York, he could come before them and
arrange about his annual retainer.
The size of this annual retainer Sol
meyer hesitated to suggest, but in
timated something in the neighbor
hood Of twenty thousand dollars.
The district attorney glowed with
joy and increased Importance, put the
five thousand dollars in his pocket,
and Jacob Solmeyer returned to his
Office in New York.
The trial of jeremiah Patton con-
tinued. All the affairs Of the bank
we're gone into. Masses of documen-
tary evidence were introduced. The
district attorney was determined to
make his reputation on this case. He
burned with dramatic pose every piece
of red fire that he could lay his hands
on. The courtroom swarmed with re-
porters. The evidence was printed in
detail IN all the great dailies. Patton
was looked upon as an intolerable
scoundrel who had wrecked the bank
of which he was president, and looted
his depositors by borrowing on worth
less securities great sums for CON-
pany which he owned.
On a Saturday afternoon, the dis
trict attorney closed for the govern
ment and rested his case. On the fol-
lowing Sunday Jacob Solmeyer tele-
graphed the district attorney that
there would be meeting Of the bank
ers on Tuesday evening, and to come
at once to New York. Stetheimer call
ed Solmeyer by long-distance tele-
phone, explained his situation In re-
gard to the Patton trial, and asked
If the meeting could not be postponed
Solmeyer answered that postpone
ment was impossible, that some mem
bers of the syndicate were the heads
of great banking houses in Europe and
could not await any mans convent
ence; that the district attorney must
attend the meeting, or return the re-
tainer paid to him and abandon the
scheme.
Uncertain what course to follow, the
district attorney took counsel with his
wife. She advised him to get rich

to arrange it. The people are mad
for sacrifice. A jury could not be
got that would acquit bank presi-
dent under such circumstances. Bel
mont Lane has brought me up to the
door of the penitentiary. The United
States court will put me inside and
turn the key in the lock-"
Randolph Mason paid not the slight
est attention to the mans words. He
merely repeated the last sentence of
ais statement.
When you are acquitted" he said,
you will come at once to me, and
will adjust the remaining features Of
this problem"
jeremiah Patton returned to st.
Louis on that very evening, and I fol-
lowed the order of subsequent events
in the newspapers of that city. The
Federal court was at that time open
ing its session. An indictment was
found. Patton's attorneys demurred
10 this indictment. This demurrer
was overruled. They then demanded
an immediate trial, and the court or
dered the case to jury. Two weeks
we're consumed in the examination of
talesmen; new panels were obtained
and almost wholly rejected. It seemed
that every man in the city had con-
ceived an opinion against the prisoner.
Finally curious medley of jurors was
secured, and the government began
the introduction of its testimony.
Up to this time, Mason had done
nothing. Now he sent for Jacob Sol
meyer, lawyer of considerable prom
inence, and explained to him what he
was to do. / know in detail how Sol
meyer carried out his instructions:
He went at once to st. Louis and

This Is perfectly dangerous in

A good many gifts mean an
noyanee, or regret, and some
times contempt to the recipient,
and to come back with a note
sincerely expressing just what
one thought about it might cause
an explosion under relations
otherwise pleasant. Why, there
would be lying in just the word

per cent Of the gifts.
