JOY AND PAIN.
If there was net or any storm or rain,
Fair days would ceaso to bo so rare nnd sweet:
Ills when fainting on tho dusty street
Wo mind us of Vie woods; ah! then we fain
Would rest anions tho shadows onco again.
Wo long for Wlnttr; when tlio wild storms
boat
Upon oar heads wo pi no for Summer's heat;
There Is no joy without some loss or pain.
To take life as wo find It ts the nrt
Of Uvtns n ell. Ah, let us not forgei,
Though Ufo bo dark today there my be yet,
When Summer come, much joy for each sod
heart,
Tcrhaps God Bends us trouble as a test.
To see if it will prove us at our beet.
-Henry Uo le in Roeton Transcript.
THE ALIBI.
Jem Illako was shot dead in Lis own
doorway by Antonio Gueldo nud the
trial was to como off directly.
Tho extraordinary interest in tho af
fair was less duo to tho murder and ltt
peculiar circumstances than to tlie fncl
that this was tho first case tried at San
Saba in any moro formal court than the
timo honored institution of Judge Lynch.
As there was no placo specially nr
ranged for tlie trial, Judge Pitblado hos
pitably offered tho use of his shed. Here
a rough table and chair were placed f 01
tho judge, the other necessary furniture
intended to represent tho dock, the
stand, etc., being eked out with boxer
from Silas LtaRget s grocery store.
Jako Smith looked nt these prepara
tions for n time witli frowning dlscon
tont nnd then strolled down tho road,
turning into tho lanothat led to Blake's,
When ho reached tho door of tho 6hantj
ho leaned against tho jamb nnd poked
his naked head inside, fanning himsell
in un embarrassed way with his grcasj
fragment of a hat. IIo had como then
with tho intention of saying something
but tbo sight within mado him forget it
Blako's widow sat there, as sho had
pretty much all tlio timo Binco tho raur
dcr, staring straight beforo her, witl
her chin in her palm. Tlio sunlight
struck through tho foliago of tho red
oak trees that grew beforo tlio door, and
checkered with tho flickering brightnost
tho floor and ciadlp in which Jem's babj
was sleeping.
Thoro it was, just as it had been thrci
days ago (could It bo only three days?-
just as it had been when sho went out
that morning to look after tho drying
clothes nnd left him standing in tho dooi
by tho cradle (how fond ho was of tin
baby!) just as it was when 6ho heard
tlio crack of tho pistol and run in witl
an awful senso of suffocating fright-
just tho 6amo aB when sho had found
him lying upon tho cradle, dabbling iti
white linen with Ids blood and tho bab
playing with his hair. Sho screamed
once, tho first and Inst complaint anj

The arrangetnouta were soon found t
be altogether too meager. Pitblado'

box In bit store.
Antonio's lawyer, a sharp eyed, sharp
featured fellow from Galveston, had
bustled about witli surprising agility on
the day previous, holding mysterious
eonerenow with ill conditioned fellows
of Gneldo's kidney.
The court was assembled, the jury had
been chosen, and the witnesses were all
present save one Blake's widow.
Pretty soon there was a stir at th.
door, then a murmur of surprise ran
through the crowded room.
"May I be d-d," said Jake Smith, au
dibly, "if she hasn't brought her bob!"

ever that might be, there it was, clotped
firmly In Lor arms, its bright red oheeks

I father's sunny liair mingling with her

With some difficulty way was made
through the throng to her seat, which
had been placed on one side of the
udge, directly opposite the candle box,
on tlie other, where Antonio sat. She
took her place and never moved during
tho whole of tho trial, excepting an she
was required to testify, and once when
tho baby tagged nt some glistening thing
that lay hidden iu the folds of iter ilrom,
at which sho took pains, to distract its
attention with a chip from the floor. As
for the baby, it sat there with it big
blue eyes open to their fullest extent,
entirely absorbed in the novel rcene,
save at tlie moment when that irresisti
ble glitter caught its eye.
livery one being now present, the trial
went on in good earnest. A number of
witnesses woro examined, whoso testi
mony showed that Gueldo had had trou
ble with Blake, nnd moro than once
threatened Ids life; that Gneldo's pistol
was ono charge empty on tho evening of
tho day of the murder, whereas in the
morning it had been full; that he was
seen that morning around Blake's house,
and more than that, Blako's widow had
heard Gneldo's voice just before the
fatal shot, and had seen him retreating
as sho ran out.
At this last point the Galveston law
yer asked tho witness a few questions re
garding how sho knew it was Uueldo s,

but was none the loss suro for that.
Thero had been a rumor about that
some ono hail heard Antonio mako a
boaet of "having dono for Blnko this
tlmo," but if thore wero n witness for
tins ho could not bo found now.
And so the prosecution cloted.
The Galveston lawyer began by in
volving in n whirlpool of helpless con
tradiction the witness who had sworn to
having scon Gueldo near Blako's house.
Theu he expatiated on tho case with
which one person may be mistaken for
another, and brought a witness to show
how Gueldo had nlready been said to re-
semblo some one in the village. Finally
lie produced threo of tho ill conditioned
fellows before referred to, who sworo
that Antonio was with them on a hunt
ing expedition during tho whole of the
day on which tho murder was com
mitted.
It wiii a clear case of alibi. Jack
Smith's astonishment at the ease with
which tho thing had been accomplished
was unbounded. He threw n disgusted
look toward Pitblndo, bnt the judgo was
nonplussed nud didn't seem to bo inter
ested with things in Jake's vicinity.
"Gentlemen of the jury," said he,
iho verdict took a turn I didn't alto
gether cxpec'. I don't know as there's
much to bo said. I s'pose you'vo got to
go by tho ovldenco, an that don't ueod
any cxplaiuin. EC you kin mako out,
nccordin ter that, that Antonio Gueldo
killed Jem Blake, .why, jeet recollect
mat s what yer ncre fur."
Jako Smith iigdeted about on his box
nnd cast anxious glances through the
open door toward tho clump of nopils
where tho jury was deliberating.
Antonio talked and laugned in an un
dertone with his counsel, nnd Blako's
widow sat staring nt them with com
pressed lips and n strong expression of
determination coming into her face.
It wasn t long beforo tho jury filed in
again, all seating themselves but tho
epokesinau, nnd Judgo Pitblado rose,
wiping ids forehead with his shirt
sleeves.
'Straightened it out, liavo ye?' agked
he, nodding to tho spokesman.
The man nodded in return.
"Yer sec," Eaid tho spokesman, with
n hesitating and disappomted nir, "ef
yer hadn't a-corrulled us witli sticking
ter the evidence we might 'a' done bet
ter, bnt accordin to that Antonio wasn't
thar when tho murder was dono, an of
ho weren t thar ho couldn t n dono it,
an ef ho didn't do it, why then of
course he's not guilty."
Pitblado didn't daro to look at any
body; he stared up nt the rafters, down
at tho table, nowhoro in particular, nnd
then turned half way toward tho pris
oner. You kin go," said he at last, nud
with great deliberation, "but don t stay
around here too long."
There was a dead pause, during which
nobody moved.
Jako bmltli exploded a singlo cuss
word which he had held in for some
timo past, and Blako's widow stood up,
"Have you got through, judge," she
asked.
"Waal I s'pom so."
"And there is nothing else to be done?'
"I am afraid there aln t."
"And lie's free to go?'
"Y-a-s."
Antonio Gueldo arose with an insolent
grin and picked up lus hat.
Tho baby crowed, for it saw the glit
taring thing again.
There was a sharp report Antonio
pitched forward in a heap upon the floor
and Blake s widow Btood with the pistol
pressed to her breast.
A line of thin blue smoke curled from
the muule of the weapon and f onned a
halo aronnd the ohild's flaxen head. Tlie
glittering thing was quite near the little
hands now, and they took it from the
yielding grasp or the mother.
Blake's widow.looked steadily at the
figure on tlie floor it was quite motion
less; then alio turned and went through
the wide passage opened for her by the
tilent crowd, holding the baby very ten
derly, and -the baby carrying the pistol.
Tlie olitltl laughed with delight; it hail

Kind of Juror, l'r.ferr.,.
Criminal court lawyers always like to
have their cases on the tint two or three
days of the term if possible. The reason
is that the jurors iu many instances are
fresh and green at the work of listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the persons on trial than
they have after they have sat for a couple
of weeks.
Jurors in tho general sessions court
are chosen to try cases for a month.
Every terra there are always some who
hare never been In the court before,
while of course others hare had plenty
of experience and are adamantine. So
the young lawyer at the bssjinnlng of
the month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts to all tricks,
such as bringing the weeping wife into
court, and tells the juries ot the terrible
results of a term In state prison. New

It is for the "connoisseurs" to cxorclso
their preferences and to contend for tho
very best. There are degrees in tobacco

The "Figaro" or the "Henry Ciay" baa

among cigars oa among women, there Is
always the eternal and inevitable rivalry
between the blond and tho brunette, the

HOW BOMK MRU SMOKE.
A true smoker must never scloct a
moist cignr, but at tlie samo timo ho
must not tako a too dry on- As tho
Latin philosopher said, "In tnedio tutis
slratla ibis."
Tlio supremo felicity of the smoker
depends nlso in great measuro upon tho
manner in which he lights his cignr
To verify its pocullar nroma, ono has
first to draw tho smoko through tho
noso. To recognize n regular smoker is
an easy task his lips always betray
him. Tlio man who resolutely pnts his
cigar deeply in his month is n firm, do
cidoil man of action, quick in move
ment, perhaps brusque, but generally
good hearted.
Tho youngster who cuts tho end of the
cigar witli tho teeth isratherinsoucianf,
careless of futnro dental sufferings,
Tho baldhoaded young man who calls
for a penknifo to cut tho end of tho
cigar is a man judidqjtjt. In council,
methodical in his wnytf nnd well bal
anced. The ono who places his cigar in an
amber holder is recherche in his tastes
and stylish in his habits. Tho man who
holds it with a silver clasp is a dude
Tho man fond of light shaded cigars I,
fond of tho bullet, light performances,
Offenbach music, comio opera and shep
herdesses iu water colors, no is also
probably fond of fishing and boating, la
generally romantic and i, considered as
a paseionato waltzer.
LlOnT AND DARK BSIOKEKS.
Tho ono who prefers dark shaded
cigars may bo supposed a daring anil
fortunate gambler, an nudocious and
successful lover, rather fond of Leopold
Robert and Regnant's vivid pictures and
Verdi's intuit-. ho is partial to racing and
wild hunting.
Tho man who buys his cigars without
examination nud only because they are
tied in packages with ribbons port nmcd
by tho Cuban peddler's wife is of confid
ing disposition, presumably an obedient
husband and n credulous stockholder
Tho ono who smokes his cigar almost t
tho end is by all means a persovcrinj
character, a faithful friend nnd a con
stant lover; the ono who throws it away
when only half smoked is blase.
Tho man who allows it to extinguish
itself often and lights it again is absent
minded, thoughtful but indulgent, a
good fellow, Inclined to toleranco, taking
men for what they are, women for what
they are not; taking timos as they come,
ho lets the stream of life flow gently by
Tlio "connoisseur" must be very care
ful when cigars show littlo yellow spots.
If spots appear in consequence of un
equal drying, the cigar is horrid. If
made by small worms, the br-.d Is gen
erally exquisite, as worms rrefer to at
tack the beat flowers, tho beet fruits,
tho beet leaves.
In any case, the cigar is not tho true
smoker's beet enjoyment; it is a kind ot
compromise liotween the cigarettes of
tho "coquette" and the short plpo ot the
cynical philosopher. New York Re

The Origlual Silhouette.

Etienne de Silhouette, a French minister

the outlines ot a shadow's profile thrown
on a sheet of paper, and then rednun&
them to tho required sixe either by the
eye or by means of a pantograph. The
camera obscura and camera lucida ore
also occasionally used for the purpow

Funny lueld.nt. at Marriage Sortlcc
Some tunny stories are told about thi
marriage service in the Isle ot Man.
One of theni relates how an old man,
brought rather unwillingly to tho altar
ooulduot be induced to repeat the re
spouses. "My good man," at length ex
claimed the clergyman, "I really cunue t
marry you unless you do as you are told."
But the man remained silent. At thi
unexpected hitch the bride lost all pa
tience with her future spouse and burst
out with, "Go on. Say it after him jutt
the samo as if you was tnockiu him '
The same difficulty occurred in auothei
case. The clergyman, after explaining
what was necessary and going over the
response several times, without the
smallest effect, stopped in dismay,
whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, "Go ahead, paes'n, go ahead!
thou'rt doin bravely," Upon another oc
casion it was, strangely enough, the
woman who could not bo prevailed upon
to speak. When the clergyman remon
strated with her, she Indignantly replied
