EXPERIMENT IN JOESTICE.
Even Charlemagne Was Unable to
Shorten Legal Processes.
"The law'sdelay," which Hamlet
thought was one of the things which
'rade life not worth living, has been
a subject of raillery on the part of
satirists and of serious concern on,
the pa}t" of statesmen in Al ages.
The poor, man, who, at the present
time, has gone into eourt, and who
fears that justice will never be. done
him there, may assure himself, at
any rate, that his troubles are noth-
ing new.
Chronicles of the time of the Em-
peror Charlemagne, who was tht:
master, and to a great extent, the
lawgiver of Europe in the latter part
of the eighth and the beginning , of
the ninth century, record an inter-
esting attempt on this monarch's
part to prevent the delays of justice.
He could notdeny that the excuses
made by the judges were plausible,
but he was convinced that they could
decide cases more promptly if -they
would.'
He decreed, therefore, that when
a judge had failed to render a de-
cision within a reasonable time the
ppmplainant in the case 'should have
the right to take up his residence in
the judge's house, to eat at his table,
and to lodge at his expense until the
decision should be made.
The decree was promptly taken ad-
vantage of by various litigants, who
praised the wisdom and righteous-
ness of their sovereign as they tast-
ed the fare and slept on the beds pf
their dilatory judges.
They found, however, that there
was another side to the pidture. The ,
succeeded in hastening the decision
of the judge, but when it was reach•
ed, it was generally found to be un•
favorable to the complainant. It
was the judge's way, as we "should
express the matter, of "getting even."
' This interesting method of enfor.et
ing decisions became, therefore, nn
popular. And what the ' wise and
powerful Charlemagne failed to ac-
complish has never since bee(i eifec•
tualiy secured. '
thusiastic preference for that of Italy.
"I can hardly go so far with you,"
replied the. other. "For me, art has
no frontiers, and I give German mu-
sic the preference over Italian."
"Indeed, sir," said the general tes-
tily. "For my part, I would give all
the German operas in the Would for
one act of `Rigoletto'•'
"You really must excuse me from
following you any further on this
ground, replied the composer, blush-
ing a little, am Verdi."
Kindred Minds.
At one time when Napoleon was
carrying out an operation which could
only be accomplished with absolute
secrecy he rode one day to the head
of a column, where he heard a soldier
say:
"Faith, if I were general in chief
I know what I should do.
"Well," called :Napoleon, "what
would you do?"
The soldier unfolded his plan. It
was the very one which Napoleon
himself bad evolved.
"Rascal!" cried the general. "Will
you hold your tongue?"
After the battle which had proved
the wisdom of the project he sought
about for the soldier whose mind had
mirrored his. The man was dead.
-10' Thrifty Squanderers.
When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905 the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of the c:onquerdr by all sorts of flat•
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was a banquet patterned a£•
ter the famous one offered by An'
tory to Cleopatra. The tables were
set in an artificial garden, floating on
pontoons, which were towed out to
sea during the progress of the feast.
At the conclusion of the banquet -
again in imitation. of Antony and
Cleopatra -all the costly 'gold •and sib
ver plate was flung into the sea. This
little triljute of honor to the emperor
was not/ so expensive as it seemed,
for the floating garden was surround=
ed with nets, and the plate was sub.
sequently recovered,

Verdi was once traveling in the
same railway carriage. with General
Tournon. They got into conversation;
which soon turned on the subject of
music, and the general, who did not
know his companion, expressed en -
Refused to Be Knighted.
Mr. John Henniker Heaton, who
has announced his intention of retir-
ing at the end of 'the present Parlia-
ment, could have been knighted many
times, and once his name was actual-
ly included in an Honors' List, But
he has preferred to remain untitled.'
"I am satisfied," he once declared,
"with the freedom of the City of Lon-
don, which 'I consider is the greatest
honor it is possible for a man to re-
ceive." His avowed ideal. is to enable
inhabitants of our planet to communi-
cate with any other for the sum of
one penny.
Profit In Ancient History.
A gentleman who was visiting one
of the public schools in a Scotch town
asked a bright looping boy: ..
"What profit is there in the study
of ancient history?"
• "About 1a pence, I suppose,s' was
the reply.
"What?"
"Well, the teacher makes us buy
the books from him, and we have to
pay 3 shillings.. I think he gets them
for 18 pence apiece, so he has a clear
profit of 18 pence, according to my,
.calculation." - ,y

"I always 'inherited the hand-me-

"Get the old things, eh?"

skates.' •

SATE AND ONE
MRSI_MAGULREI
Between Them They Brought the
Parted Couple Together',.
By M. LOUISE CUMMINS,
Mrs. Aiaguire looked up from her
knitting a second time to a meet the
same pair 9f , brown eyes, Again a
sense 4f familiarity in their gaze went
over ber,
""And, sure, there'd be nothing
strange in that," she soliloquized, "aft-
er me being attendant in this waiting
room for the past fifteen years."
Nevertheless her mind, went back
gropingly trying to place the girl •alt-
ting opposite. She gave a quick glance
and reached wbat she sought -with
such suddenness that she fairly start-
ed.
"Tis the very wan -the very wan,"
she muttered. "But, Lord love us all,
what has changed her so much?"
Presently she rose, bolding ber knit-
ting in her left hand, and made a little
tour of the room, picking up a paper
here, straightening a chair there, ap-
parently intent only upon her business.
But she paused near the woman who
had attracted her attention.
"'Tis tiresome work waiting
trains. ma'am," she hazarded.
"It,it, indeed!"
. At sight of such woe in her eyes,
which she had once seen filled with
such blessedness of joy that, as she
said, "they were litre twin lights on an
altar," Mrs. Maguire's heart ached.
"Though there's them that don't
mind it," she went on. "Look there,
now," with a sidelong nod to where in
the outer waiting room a young couple
were seated oblivious of time and
place.
"They makes me think of a pair that
sat in that very spot -let me see, it
must be all of four years ago," she
continued reminiscently. "They had
missed their train and bad to wait six
mortal hours for the western express.
Well, if you'll believe me, 1 don't think
they knew 'twas ,as many minutes."
Mrs. Maguire saw the hands of the
woman come slowly together suddenly
in her lap.
"Did you ever see them again?'' she
asked slowly.
"Not her."
The dark eyes came round in a flash.
"And him?"
"Well, as sure as you live" -Mrs. Ma-
guire had seated herself and was knit-
ting complacently-"'twas only last
week. He come in and just sit in that
very spot. I tools no notice to him at
first, but he looked so broke up I had
to. It. seemed all wrong to see him
sitting without hen"
The woman at ber side sprang up.
"It is suffocating In here!" she pant-
ed.
Then she sank back into the chair.
"You recognized me," she said weari-
ly- i
"And if I did, a-lanive"-Mrs. Ma-
guire laid a soothing palm on her knee,
the soft crooning of her mother tongue
coming'back to her -"I meant no harm
by what I said. Sure, when I looked
across the room you made me think of
a bit of a primrose you'd see in a
boreen at home wilting because the
bush that sheltered it was tore away."
"And I thought" -her slender body
seemed to contract with the agony of
recollection -"God help me! What I
thought was not the truth."
"God help us all when we begins to
doubt the wan that's dearer to us than
our heart's blood. 'Tis well to be
sure" -she went on slowly -"sure be-
fore you spake the word that can't
be onspoken."
"If some one had said that to me
then!" Her breathing seemed to tear
the delicate throat. "But I would not
listen to him, and now -now it is too
late!"
"'Tis never that" Mrs. Maguire said,
with conviction.
"It is. He said if I left him it would.
be final."
If Mrs. Maguire's fingers flew her
thoughts went at such bewildering
pace that she started when ber cons
panion rose. She took and patted be-
tween her own the hand held out to
her, looking beyond with unseeing
eyes.
"She'll come back," she thought, with
the assurance of one who knew. "And
he, mother of God! Isn't it the pity of
the world to see them parted? And for
nothing at all, most likely!"
It was strange after that on days
when a slight figure in dark blue sat
in the ladies' waiting room how many
excuses Mrs. Maguire found for excur-
sions to dilterent parts of the station,
with what eagerness she sat out on
these expeditions and with dejection
written in every"' line of her comely
face when she returned.
'Tis watching for him she is her-
self she thought, meeting the wistful
interrogation of the dark eyes. And
never dict maiden look for the coming
of her lover as did Mrs. Maguire for
the tall figure which bad imprinted it-
self on her memory.
It was a matter of genuine impor-
tance, however, which called her away
one day just as tier visitor entered.

superintendent hitneelt' wants me," she
explained. smoothing down a snowy

tall figure. One glance was sufficient,
A. moment later she was hanging to
his arm With all the pressure oz her
773 pounds,.
"Walt, seri" she panted, "For the
lute of heaven, don't go!"

to his were wonderfully sane behind
therr steel rimmed glasses.

toward the waiting room door, "She's
in there, I tell you, eating her heart
out for a sight of you. And," grasp-
ing him again. "don't you say a word,
but just take her along home."
As his broad back disappeared Mrs.
Maguire laid hold of a newspaper
stand for support.
A few minutes later, when, with
flushed cheeks, she passed humming
a bar of -Eileen Aroon" above a
lump which threatened to choke her,
they were sitting where they had sat
four years before.

bent over hers, "that we should meet

Untold Riches,
Wealth Is merely comparative. One's
possessions constitute a pittance or a
fortune, according to one's point of
view. The Rev. Frederic Denison tells
a story of one of the inhabitants of
old Westerly, R. 1., which shows tbere
is no general standard of riches. The
young man, prompted by patriotism
and desire for gold, had enlisted in the
uncertain business of privateering.
On returning home after many and
various cruises he was thankfully
greeted by his kin, and anxious friends.
Itis mother, with maternal solicitude,
itiquired:
"Well, Harry, how have you made
out? Did you get much money?"
"Oh, yes, mother," answered the ad-
venturer, "I had good luck. I am rich.
I shall have enough, with prudence
and care, to carry me through life, I
hope."
"I am glad, my son. How much have
you?"
"Well, I don't exactly know yet. but
I think when we settle upit will
amount to $30." -Youth's Companion.

Diego de Torres, the Spanish am-
,passador, who visited the emperor of
Morocco in 1547, found that knives,
spoons and forks were unknown at the
royal table. Each guest helped himself
with his fingers and cleaned his hand
with his tongue, excepting the emper-
or, who performed that office on. the
head of a black boy whom he retained
by his side in readiness. The emperor,
observing the ambassador smile, asked
him with what Christian kings wiped
their hands at meals and what such'
things were worth. "Pine napkins,"
replied the ambassador, "a clean one
at every meal, worth a crown apiece
or more." "Don't you think this nap-
kin much better," said the emperor,
wiping his hands again on the black
boy's head, "which is worth 70 or SO
crowns?"
