T1UAL BY JUDGE.
In one of the vnlloys to tbe east ot tho
tnaiu Bimr ut t'.ic Cumberland I stopped
at a "liU'ldle" of housee for tho night. 1
vraa Riven n bod In n chamber with a
window looking out on to the yard, nnd
ten feet from the window utood n larzo
apple tiw. It being Bummer, the win
dow aiu Wi49 raisal.
It tmiHt have been about inlilght
when n sound at the window awoke me,
and I got ont of bed to aee what was the
matter. It did not take long to discover
that some onowns plnnning n surprise
for inc. A man had climbed tho tree,
And from n handy branch bad thrust out
a plank to reach tho sill of tho window.
It wns the end of the plank dropping on
the Bill which nroused me.
I stood back n little to watch, and
presently the fellow, whose color I could
not determine, started to creep along tho
plank. I didn't know exactly what to
do at first, but finally decided to giro
him a fall instead of a bullet. Waiting
until he was midway between the win
dow nnd the tree, I gavo the end of tho
plank a Bhove und down he went, yell
ing in affright as he found himself go
ing, lie had scarcely stnick tho ground
when some one seized mm. 'lne liouso
was alarmed, everybody turned out, nnd
when I got down the owner of tho house
was standing guard over tho man and
Baying:
Kow, tnen, Jim mvers, you unnas
got yo'self into a powerful f ussl Vuu
has been tryiu to git inter my cabin in
the night time to rob tho stranger, an if
you un dojn' dance high fur it I doan'
want no mo' tneatl"
Wasn't a-tryin to git in," sulkily re
plied Jim.
'Thou wuat was youun uomr
'Arter apples."
'Arter apples which hain't as big as
shucks at tills timo o' y'ar. Jim, yo' Is
bad bad all tho way up an down. I'vo
knowed it fur y'nrs, nnd I've knowed
that yo' would get cotched sorao day.
The cotchin hai arrovo."
Cawu't prove itogin' me," calmlyob-
served the primmer.
You nn justwnitl lingwlno touo
yo' up till daylight and then tako yo' bo-
fo Sonar Taylor."
Jess meant to look in tho winder,"
explained Jim, who was evidently be-
Einnimr to be alarmed.
Oh, yes! Wo tinders tana I wow
yon un como along to tho smokehouse
and doan try any tricks on me!
Next morning ho was regularly or
rested on a warrant charging him with
intent to cuter and rob. Tho examina
tion took place in the school house, and
tho Justice conducted it without any
lawyers tobother. When Jim was asked
to plead he replied:
"I less man t uun it, ana i n sties to
my fat If yo nang me!
Then I II enter a plea or not guilty,"
said his honor, and he asked no to tako
the stand. I testified a3 related abovo,
but all was not Bmooth sailing. When I
stated that I was aroused by a noise Jim
put in:
He mi doan' dun Bay wnat sort or a
noise, eriuur. Thar's mo' than fifty
kinds of noises, an ho uu's got to como
right down finer
When 1 said tnat 1 looked out of tno
window and saw n man in tho tree he
interrupted with:
Squar Taylor, is you un gwino to put
that down agin' me. Thar's varus sorts
o' men. IIow does he un know it wasn't
a nigger? Pin him right down, squar'.'
Uouluu t bin no nigger, nouow," said
Ids honor. "Couldn't bocn nobody but
yons, kaso yous tho ono cotched.
Wnen I testlnea to pushing too end or
tho plank OH tho sill, Jim looked done np
for u minute. Then n bright idea camo
and ho exclaimed:
Hold he un down, squar1. He says a
plank! How long was that plank? What
sort o' wood? Who did it belong to?
Doan' give he un no high ground over
mo kase he looks peart.
Tho owner of the lionso testified to
having been disturbed by a strange
noise, nnd he hail just gone to the door
when Jim fell from the treo.
"Shore it wa3 me?" asked Jim.
"Of co'se."
"Doan' reckon it was anybody else?"
"Couldn't bin. Kaso I grabbed it."
"Better bo keerful! You'a on oathl
What did I say?"
'Said you nn was arter apples."
'Put that down plain, squar.' Apples
isn't ns big as beans yit, and if I was
arter npples it proves Insanity. That s
ono forme."
When ho took the stand in Ids own
defense he was asked:
"Prisoner, what is yonr name?"
"What yo' drlvin at, Sonar' Taylor?
Alnt no use toinenshun any names an
git up n great fuss in do papers. Jess
go right along steady."
"Are you n resident of this village,
county and stater
Jess liar him. squar Taylor, that
bnin tnolaw. That a only fooltn around,
jews like a man lookin up a coon tree
when tho coon is somewhar else.
What is yonr occupation?" continued
the squire.
Say, afiuar , exclaimed Jim as he
arone and pounded on the desk, "this
haint no case whar' somebody stole
hog. This is a case whar' a nigger
climbed a tree to rob a white man in a
house, nn it's got to go 'oordln to law on
llldrnwriglitout.
'Jim," replied the justice after some'
reiucUon, "you mi was up that tree.1
l duu deny It."
Ynn nn ranltnnMl in orit in that win.
I "

- y uat wiauerr uaiu i. uudouj swaro

sharks Do Not Koll Over.
Mr. Willard Nye, of New Bedford.
Mass., was attempting to feed n small
dusky shark nt Woods lloll with tho
meat ofn clam. Ho liad a theory that
the animal would turn before taking tho
food nnd would bo slow in its movements.
but to his surprise tho shark snapped
sideways "as quick as lightning," nnd
took the clnin and three fingers of the
hand that fed it. Other sharks in tho
pool, attracted by the sight of blood
dashed up to tho edge and would havo
mado Berions work if a victim had been
within reach.
The notion that sharks always roll
over when taking food is deeply rooted
in tue iopnlar tntnil, uut the foundation
for this theory is not evident. Bat wo

"Tell you something about rloe In
LouialanaT' repeated Andrew C. Wilkin
eon, tbe owner of a large rloe mill in
New Orleans, where the rice grown on
bis plantation is cleaned, at the Gtlsey
House. "I see that tho papers havo just
found out that Englishmen aro trying
to bny up and form a trust of tbe rice
mills in the south, although the agents
have been .own there for something
over sue months. Nobody is quicker
than John Bull to scent a bargain.
New Orleans is the chief rloe milling
city of America. Fifty years ago, wo
did not havo such a thing ns a rloe mill,
bnt now we have sixteen, working ZtO
rice ponndera and employing moro than
women. Louisiana lias always been
known as the Sugar State, bnt wo also
want to add to It that of the Rico State
of the Union,
"How is it cultivated? Well, tho
first necessity of profitable rice culture
is n comparatively level piece of land,
properly prepared for the seed. This field
must be located so as to bo conveniently
irrigated from tho prnlrio reservoir or
the Hume in tbe levee. Highland rice
does not pay in Louisiana, tho only
profitoblo rico being that grown In
water. Water is tho first and last want
of sprouting, growing and ripening rice.
Beforo tho ground Is ready for tho seed
it is divided up by a system of little
sublcrees and watering ditches. It is
then i lamed In drills dug by machines
ir rather I should say that tho ma
chine is the proper way to do it, but the
seed ia frequently broadcasted with us in
Louisiana.
"Then comes the most delicate part,
in tho water manipulation. After tho
seed Is planted the Boil is thoroughly
saturated with water to sprout it, bnt
tho water is at onco taken off when the
seeds have ovenly germinated, nnd kept
off nntil the tender shoots of tho plant
rise two or threo inches nbovo the
ground. You can cosily eeo that tho
young plants may bo either drowned out
or dried up by tho least inattention In
regulating tho ilow.
DRAWBACKS TO TUB WORK.
On the other hand, with too much
water, crawfish invade tho fields and de
vour the delicate plants, while with nono
at all, rico caterpillars cnt them down
and kill them. If you negloct tho main
flnnio you not only risk tho total loss of
your crop, butby permitting tho water
to get ahead of yon there may como a
break in the levee, nnd nwoy go your
cattle and crops.
The most expensive part of rico crow
ing enmes when it is about a foot high,
after it has been liberally watered: I
mean the grassing of tho rice. You see,
the laborers wade through tho rice, pull
ing up nnd throwing into heaps all tho
weeds and water grasses they find. This
grassing costs on an average about four
dollara an acre, and of tor that is over
tho rico planter lias but little to do ox
cert to give it plenty of water. One pe
culiar thing about irrigation is that the
beads of the rico plants never fill out.
