A Defeated Conscience.
The secretary of the Kansas State
Historical society tells a story about
an eaily day Kansas justice of the
peace who will bo nameless here:
"This J. I\," said the secretary,
"would marry a couple one day as
justice of the peace and divorce them
the next as notary public."
One time, as the story ran, a man
surrendered himself to this J. P.
"An' phwat's the matter?" asked the
judge.
"1 killed a man out here on the prai
rie iu a tight," was the reply. "I want
to give myself Op."
"You did kill him, sor?" asked the
J. P.
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Who saw you?" asked the J. P.
"Nobody."
"An' nobody saw you kill 'iin?"
"No, sir. Just we two were there."
"An' you're shure nobody saw you?"
reiterated the J. P.
"Of course I'm sure," was the reply.
"Thin you're discharged," said the
J. I'., bringing his fist down on the
table. "You're discharged. You can't
'criminate yourself. Fifty dollars,
please!"— Kansas City Journal.
Trouble For Hubby. •
At a recent tea party where the fare
provided could not by any means be
termed palatable a guessing game was
instituted, and the lady who won it
was asked to say what she would have
as a prize. She greatly flattered her
young hostess by requesting a slice of
the cake with which some of them
had desperately struggled at tea time.
"Why did you ask for that stuff?" a
disappointed and still hungry youth
asked her. "You know very well it
isn't fit to eat."
"I have a definite purpose in view,"
answered the young lady, carefully
placing the piece of cake where there
would be no possibility of her forget
ting it."l mean to make my husband
eat it—if necesary, to force it down his
throat crumb by crumb—and thus con
vince him that somewhere in the wide,
wide world there is an even worse
cook than he imagines his inexperi
enced young wife to be." —Pearson's
Weekly.
A Tipless Curse.
"Talk about the tip evil," said the
traveled girl. "Now, last summer,
just before I left London, I got cursed
awfully. It was like this: I had tip
ped everybody on the place—the man
servants, the maidservants, the slavey,
the bootblack. Then Just before I got
in a cab a man up and threw an old
soiled cloth over the wheel to protect
my skirts as I got in. Nobody asked
him. It didn't protect my skirts, be
cause it was worse than the wheel, so
I didn't think it was necessary to tip
him.
"1 wish you could have seen his face.
It scared me. He swore an awful
oath. Then he said, 'I honly 'opes the
boat goes down wid ye, that's what I
'opes!'
"1 was pretty wabbly all the way
over, thluking it might, but the boat
didn't go down."—New York Press.
Too Soon For Her.
Apropos of those who never enjoy
the luxury of a carriage save when the
death of some one makes for a free
ride to the cemetery a clergyman told
of a little girl standing at Fifth ave
nue and Thirtieth street, New York.
She was a ragged little thing, and she
was watching the carriages rolling
past with the most wistful blue eyes.
"Well, little one," he said, "would
you like to own one of those car
riages?"
The blue eyes turned up, and there
were tears in their corners.
"I never rode in a kerridge," she
said softly. "Me little brudder died
afore I was born."
The Midnight Sun.
The midnight sun is not visible
south of the polar circle. It is above
the horizon throughout the twenty
four hours at Bodo from June 3 to
July 7, at Tromso from the 19th of
May to the 22d of July and at the
North cape from the 12th of May to
the 29th of July. There are corre
sponding periods during December,
January and November when the sun
is not seen, but the darkness of the
winter Is by no means so great as
might be imagined. The whiteness of
the snow and the glimmer of the
northern lights make a sort of per
petual twilight.
The Makings In Church.
"1 never knew," said the nervous j
man, "what an inveterate smoker I i
am until recently in church, my first
visit for a long while, I found myself
mechanically rolling a cigarette. In j
fact, I had it rolled and was reaching
'or a match when I suddenly came to. I
Suppose I hadn't waked up? Rather
awful, what?"— New York Press.
One of Our Pet Phraaea.
"Did any of the inhabitants escape
with his life?" inquired the man who
wants harrowing details.
"I didn't stop to ascertain," answer
ed the man who is harrowingly exact.
"It struck me that If anybody escaped
without his life there wasn't much use
in his escaping anyhow."—Washington
Star.

"John Jones," said the magistrate,

A Bill Ny. Story.
According to the Bookman, Bill Nye
once made a short speech at an au
thors' dinner in London that was
much relished by the bookmen pres
ent, including the publishers, at whom
it was indirectly aimed.
"Just a year ago," said Nye, "I was
walking on the principal street of In
dianapolis when I met a man whose
appearance showed that he was re
duced to the very depths of poverty.
His clothes were ragged, his face un
shaven, his hair long and matted and
his feet unshod. As 1 passed him a
look of recognition came Into his eye.
" 'Nye, old fellow, don't you know
me? Don't you know Abel I'. Jones,
who was your classmate at college?'
" 'What, Jones! Is it really you?
.Well, well! What can I do for you?'
" 'For heaven's sake, help me. I am
starving. Lend me half a dollar.'
"I felt in my pockets. They were
empty. I had no money myself. But
a bright thought flashed through my
mind.
" 'Abel, I can't lend you the half
dollar. I haven't got it. But, look
J<ore, I'll tell you what 1 will do—l'll
let you publish my next book.'
"Gentleihen, that was just a year
ago, and this month Abel P. Jones
sent me an invitation togo to Europe
with him in his steam yacht."
Needed an Explanation.
A little boy was often whipped by
his father for lying. He usually took
it as a matter of course, but 011 one oc
casion it seemed to excite him to re
flection. After it was all over he stood
before his father in a thoughtful way,
which attracted that worthy's atten
tion.
"My son," said the father, "what are
you thinking about?"
"Father," said the son, "when you
was a little boy. did you use to tell
lies?"
"No, my son. When 1 was a little
boy I did not tell lies."
"Father," returned the son, "when
mother was a little girl, did she use
to tell lies?"
"No, my son," replied the father.
"When your mother was a little girl
she did not tell lies. But why do you
ask me these questions?"
"Well," said the little fellow, draw
ing a long sigh, "it is the most mys
terious thing in the world to me trhat
a father who never told lies when he
was a little boy and a mother who
never told lies when she was a little
girl could have a boy that tells as
many as I do."
Plaid and Tartan.
Will the southron ever learn that
"plaid" is not a synonym for "tartan?"
Not long ago an Englishman came into
a hosier's establishment in Glasgow
and asked a man behind the counter
to show him some "plaid ties." The
attendant, perhaps wondering w-hat
this new and weird article of wear
ing apparel could be, was completely
batlled until explanation elicited the
fact that a necktie with a tartan de
sign was required. Dickens, too, is a
sinner in this respect, for he makes
Bob Sawyer say with regard to wheth
er his political proclivities are "buff"
or "blue"—"l'm a kind of plaid at
present, a compound of all sorts of
colors." Moreover, an English dic
tionary gives an adjectival meaning
of"plaid" as "colored in squares."
I've never heard ouch use in Scotland.
Has any one else? —Scottish Field.
Hall Caine'a Moonshine.
Authors and artists who have be
come well known by means of making
the moon dance in the wrong houses
of heaven are numerous, but we never
expected Hall Caine to join the group.
Yet in"The Scapegoat," chapter 23,
on Israel's return from prison after
evenfall, we find that "with a wave
of his hand he was gone into the dark
ness. It was a wonderful night. The
moon, which was In its first quarter,
was still low in the east."
It was indeed a wonderful night.
On no other night since the creation
has the moon in its first quarter ever
been seen low in the east.—London
Star.
Won't Stay Retained.
This notice appears on a Flushing
steamboat: "Passengers should obtain
a receipt for all provisions taken on
board this boat and are requested to
retain the same."
Easier said than done. It reminds
us of the old limerick:
There was a young man of Ostend
Who said he'd hold out till the end.
But when halfway over
From Ostend to Dover
He did what he didn't Intend.
—London Globe.
His Definition.
At a London board school the teach
er had explained to the children the
meaning of the word "ability." "Now,
children," she went on, "what word
would express the opposite to ability?"
A sharp faced little boy at the end
of the end form bobbed up his head
and exclaimed, "Please, teacher, nobil
ity!"— Work and Play.
Jack Knew.
On coming home from the office the
father met Jack and Dick.
"What have you been doing today,
fcoys ?" be questioned.
"Fightin'," replied Dick.
"Fighting, eh? Who licked?"
"Mamma did," answered Jack.—Ex
change.
In Keeping.
