1 was toling over the mountain trail
wlih a knupsack on my buck when

asked where 1 was going, and when I
replied that I hud been directed to

mid:
"I tun jest gwlne up to Tom's place
myself, and we'll Jog along together. I
hev to see Tom about the tuxes."
"How ure taxes assessed up here In
the mountains?" I nsked after uwhile.
" li. kinder so-so."
Nothing more was said until we
reached he cabin. Mr. Hopkins was
rutting fire-wood In the hack yard, and
he came around und welcomed us and
queried of the man with me:
"Wall, Sam, what brings you up this
way?"
'Cum to see about yo'r taxes, Tom."
"Shoo. How tir' taxes this y'nr?"
"Wall, Tom, taxes Is up a leetle, I'm

He wus taken III und soon after secured

Van Holder. t
There ure several other boarders at
the same place, among whom is Jacob
Scherilierliorn. Mr. Scheniierhorn was
taking a bath ut the time of the theft,
und left his wuteTruud gold ring In his
bed room. I'poli his return to the bed
room no trace of either was found. As
an Sol der .was absent and did not re
turn, he was thought to be the thief,
und Mr. Scliermethoru took measures
to secure his property. At tin- oltlce ot
Alderman Jones he swore out a war-
ant which was given to f unstable
Ncury to serve. No truce of the young
fellow could be found around the city.
but the constable was informed that he
was seen to mount u street car going
south. He took the 7 o'clock train lif
ter the fugitive and at Mayfleld he was
seen upon the platform. Ncury at
once arrested him and he was brought

Ilnrglnrs I nter tho Store nf !' I'incrnn
on I'nndaff Street.
When Mr. Fineran, who keeps a gro
cery store on Dunduff street, opened the
lace yesterduy morning, he found the
place hud been entered during the night
by thieves. The burglars were evident
ly experts ut the business for the win
dow through which they entered was
strongly nailed on the inside. They
were evidently disappointed, however,
for but little booty was secured, seventy-live
cents being about all.
After finding the money drawer emp
ty the burglurs turned their attention
to the -safe, which they prepared to
blow open. It was not locked, however,
and this wus found out before the ex
plosion took place. A quantity of high
ly exidoslve chemicals were found on
the Moor. As Mr. Finerau never keeps
anything but papers In the sufe they did
not secure any booty, and evulentally
gave It up as a bad Job.
No truce of the burglars can be found.
Mrs. 10. .1. Burns, who lives next door.
says she was awakened about two
o'clock In the morning by a noise, and
on lookins out saw two men on the
sidewalk. They soon walked away.
It is probable that these men were the
thieves.

Chief Justice Wulte. who delighted to
tell legal stories, once told me this story
uboiit Evurls and Conklint:
Itoscoe Conkling cunic Into Mr. hv-
arts' otlice one day, when he was a
young lawyer. In quite a nervous stute.
"You seem to be very much excited,
Mr. Conkllug," said Mr. .ftvarts, us Ros-
oe walked up and down trm room.
"Yes. I'm provoked I uin provoked."
said Mr. Conkllng. "1 never hud a ell
etit ilissatlsMed about my fee before."
Well, what's the matter? asked Mr.
Evurts.
Whv. f defended Gibbons for arson.
you know. He was convicted, but I
lid hard work for him. I took him to
the suerlor court and he was convict
ed, then fin to the supreme court and
the supreme court confirmed the Judg
ment und save him, ten years hi the
penitentiary. 1 charged him $3,000, and
now Clbbons Is grumbling about it
says It's too much. Now, Mr. Kvurts.
1 ask you, If I really charged tixi
much?"
Well." said Mr. Evatts, very delib
erately, "of course you did a gmnl deal
of work, and J:!,000 is not a very big fee,
hut to be frank with you, Mr. Conkllng.
my deliberate opinion Is that he
might have been convicted for
less money.
Chief Justice Fuller tells many legal
stories. Once, he said, he was quite
shocked during a real estate trlul lit
Chicago. It was years and years ago,
when John Went worth was Said to go
t very morning and look through a knot-
hide In u fence around u vacant htute
street lot. When asked by Thomas
Hoyne what pleasure there was looking
through that knot-hole, Wentworth
su Id :
"Why, It Is a sensation an Inexpres-
sable sensation for me to look through
that board fence and see one piece of
Chicago real estate without a mortgage
on it."
Tom H. Reed tells me that when Chief
Justice Fuller was a boy he belonged
to a debating dub In oldtown, Me.
One evening capital punishment was
debated. The deacon of the church
was for hanging. Young Fuller was
opposed to capital punishment.
Said the deacon, quoting from the Mo
saic law: "Whoso shedde'h man's
blood, by man his blood shall be shed."
Thinking this to be a bombshell to his
opponents he dwelt upon it till his time
mid expired, when young Fuller sprang
to his feet and said:
"Supposing we take the law) which tho
gentleman hus quoted and see what the
loglcul deduction would come to. For
examples one mun kills another; another
mun kills him. and so on. until we come
to the last man on earth. Who's going
to kill him? He dare not commit sui
cide, for fjat some law forbids It. Now,
deacon," continued the boy, "what are
you going to do with that last man?"
The boy's Untie called out rounds of
applause and vanquished the deacon.

Some of our best wit comes through

One day O'Rufferty was up before
Judge Brady In New York for assault

Mr. KaTerty," said the Judge, "whv
did you strike Mr. Murphy?"
"HecBUfE- Murrihy would not give mo
a cl"il answer to a civil euestlon, yer

"SVhut was the civil question you
asked him'.'"
"I asked him, as polite os yess plase,
'Murphy, ain't your own brother the
biggest thafe on Manhattan Island, ex
cepting yourself and your uncle, who Is
absent at the peniteutiury In Sing
Sing?"
"And what rude answer did he give
to such a very civil question?"
"He said to me, 'Av course, prlslnt
company excepted;' so I said, 'Murphy,
you're another,' and struck him wid me
list."

Iho Judge's l.nnch Depends I'pon Who
settles the Check.
From the Sun Prunvlsco Post.
The employes uf city hull have
watched with considerable amusement
the lunches of one of the municipal
Judges. He patronizes u place across
the street from the hull and Is gener
ally aocompunled by half a dozen other
officers. They usually pay for the din
ner in rotation.
"Well who pays for the dinner to
day?" Inquires the Judge.
"Why this Is your duy, Judge," sug
gests one of the crowd.
"Oh. Is It? All right. Walter give
ine some baked upples. Better huve
some apples, boys. They are great and I
am in a hurry today."
The Judge gets black coffee for noth
ing, and saves some of the cream fr, m
the apples to put lu It. The next day
he reptnts his Inquiry: "Who pays for
the dinner today?"
"This is Jones'. day," suggests one of
the party. .
"Jones, eh? Walter, how Is your
.milliard duck? Oh, give me a little
inooK turtle soup llrst and then a dl h
nf chicken salad. Koust tlie duck
twenty minutes and while I'm waiting
for It brluff ' ma some fried swett

It all depends on who li paying for
the dinner.
