 aToaGeta0ut Town

<tJudge, if you'u suspend Judgmeuei I'll get out of this old burg as fast as I can if I have to ride on an en-e gineer's whisker'' That was the plea for 1eniency by Daniel Murphy Of Brooklyn and elsewhere, to Judge Frederic Bartlett in the city court tai1 morning when he was called upon to answer to the charge of trespass- ing on railroad property.
 Murphy and three pals, James Dunn of Philadelphia, Herbert Par ker of Boston and William Moran of Hartford. were resting on the steps of house on upper Crescent avenue, opposite the Chain factory, facing the railroad. The houses are the property of the New Haven road and the trespassers were arrested by Railroad Policeman O'Brien. They explained to the court this morning that they were ignorant of the fact that they were on railroad property. Murphy, on behalf of his pals, made the novel plea and Judge Bartlett sentenced them to 20 days in jail with Judgment suspended. A litter went round the court room when the plea was made and even the judge had to turn his face away to hide a smile.

AMPLY PROVED THEIR SKILL
According to This Story, Russian
Workers in Metal Had Marvel
Gus Ability.

The Russian peasants, of course, are
neither scientists nor technologists;
but even they think that they can do
a few things-and especially work
metals-as skillfully as anybody. A
century or two ago, according to folk
tale current in Russia, the gossudar
(the czar) called together a dozen
or more peasants who had reputa-
ton for skill in the working of met
ais, and exhibited to them a steel
flea, of natural size, which had been
made in Germany" and had been
sent to him, partly as gift and part
ly to. show the delicacy of the Ger
man smiths work. The gossudar hand
ed it to the peasants on plate and
said: 81
Look at that! You think that you
can work metals; but don't believe
there's4one of youscan duplicate that
steel flea."
The peasants said, Perhaps not,
batushka Uittle Father; but if you
will let us take the flea home, we will
see what we can do"
The czar consented, and they re-
tired A day or two later they reap
peared, and with low waist bows pre-
sented to their monarch on plate the
same German flea, but without the ex-
pected duplicate.
"Ah!" said the czar. "You couldn't
make another. knew you couldn't!"
"Will your majesty deign to look at
the flea through magnifying glass?"
replied the peasants.
A glass was brought, and upon close
inspection it was found that the Rus
sian metal workers had shod the Ger
man flea with steel shces.-George
Kennan in the Outlook.
