A Lawyer WhO Was Not Hunting-
Litigati n Over Land.
It's the canny )Id bird that cannot be
snug ht with the b rd lime of litigation.
You're probe y heard of Lawyer
Hackett of Some .set. A little while ago
oe purchased som land over which there
had been a • laws it Ifor years, until the
parties ' had spe t half a dozen times
what the land wa worth. Hackett knew
all about it. Som of the people wonder-
ed why he wante to get hold of property
with such an in bis of uncertainty on
it. Others thoug t tl.at perhaps he want-
ed sorne legal k itting work and would
pitch in redhot o fight that line fence
tluestion on his o n hook.
That's what th owner of the adjoining
land thought. S he braced himself for
trouble when h saw Hackett coming
across the fields ne day.
Said Hackett, "What's your claim
here, anyway, as o this fence?"
"I insist," rept c.i the neighbor, "that
your fence is ov r on my land two feet
at one end and ne foot at least at the
other end."
"Well," repli Hackett, ":.ou go
head lust as cru ck as you can set your
!bead
over. At be enwhere you say
that I encroach n yon two feet set the
fence on to my and four feet. At the
other end push it on to nay land two
feet."
"But," persist d the neighbor, "that's
twice what 1 cls m:' .c
"1 don't care bo11t that," said Hack=
tett. "There's een fight enough over
this land. 1 w nt you; to take enough
so you are peri ctly s'tisfled you have
got your rights. and t en we can get
along all please i tly. Gb ahead and help
'ourself."
The man pa :ed, abashed. He had
beer` ready to c • mmence the old struggle
tooth and nail. But this move of the
new neighbor stunned him. Yet ; he
wasn't to be ou done in generosity. He
looked at Hack : tt. •
_"Squire," saiAi he, "that fence ain't
going to be mor d an inch. I don't want
the blamed old and. -There warn't noth-
in to the fight but the principle of the
thing." •

A GREAT JOKE.
But the Fini Was Not Funny For
the Cl ere Young Man.
One of the cl rks employed at the Pub-
lic Safety buil ing made the usual week-
ly call on an ast end young woman a
few days ago. a had with him a pair of
handcuffs that he had put in his pocket
for her amuses ent. He intended to play
a practical jol e on her. He would lock
one of the cuff on his own wrist, he told
himself, and t a favorable opportunity.
slip the other n to her wrist and lock it.
Then he woul exclaims
"Now we're tiedl"
That would be.a clever play on words,
for the slang or married is "tied." Be-
sides it migh give her a hint of—well,
she ought t know anyhow that re -
wasn't callin there once and twice a
week merely to talk about the weather.
• After he wond lock the manacle on her
wrist he wou d pretend to have lost the
key and would have a good laugh at her
expense in the end.
The plan w.rked splendidly. She look-
ed as if she ti ought it rather clever when
he said, "No we're tied!" But she soon
began to coa hind to take it off. He de-
clared that h had lost the key and that
there wasn't another key in town that.
would fit the lock. When he saw that
she might g•t axsgry if he carried the
joke too far, he reached in his pocket for
the key. T s en he remembered that he
had put it n an envelope so that he
would not to a it, and he had left the en-
velope on hi desk in the Public Safety
building.
/
The father of the young girl was called
in and asked to gp out and look for a po-
liceman. H: found one, but he hadn't a
handcuff ke with him. 'The only way
out of the di I; culty was to take the hand-
cuffs to a -ey. So " the joker and the
young lady boarded e. car and rode to
the Oaklan police station. They tried
to hide the II andcuffs, but that only at-
tracted atte tion to them. The girl said
she felt sm 11 enough to fall through a
`crack in th car floor. The young man
would have givers a month's wages for
the key,
"It isn't ar," she said to him when
they came- nut o1 the police station. "I
can go hom= alone."

Re erica the Verdict.
Not long ago a prominent citizen of
New Orlea ' s went raging into the "elec-
tric light c. mpany's office and declared
that one of their wires had killed a pet
tree on his f+remises.
"That tre ," said he, "has been stand-
ing there fir 20 years, and we regarded
it as one .f the family. illy children
played and r it when they were babies,
and it is a»socinted with some of the
pleasantest emeries of my life. When
it began to ie, we all mourned, and we
could not imagine what ailed it until yes-
' terday, whe I );soused that a wire Was
lying right s cross a branch, My poor
tree has bees electrocuted, and I feel as
if murder ha. been done in my house."
Considera ly moved, the agent of the
company w nt to view the scene of the
tragedy and found the tree still alive, but
feeble. Wh n he came to trace tho wire,
he discovers one end nailed to the roof
of an old am and, the other twisted
around a dis arded pole. It.had been eut
off for at le, st two years and forgotten.
But the oc•asion demanded something,
so he made he following report:
"Tree aliv ; wire dead. Wire evidently

THEY WATCH HER EAT.
And Thus Decide Whether She Will
Make a Good Wife.
' Of all the strange customs of foreign
nations those that strike us to be most
peculiar are the marriage customs of the
Russian peasants. It is the aim of ev-
ery ,young peasant to acquire for him-
self a wife that will be a suitable :aid
both in the' field and in the kitchen, and
he leaves the choice to his parents. The
beauty of the young -lady and her taste
of dress and furniture are little consid-
, erecl, but instead the dispatch with
which she can perform her daily duties,
and in the following peculiar way her
ability in that line is obtained:
The parents of the young man decide.
that a certain young lady would make a
suitable mate for him. They say nothing
about the matter to any one, but on some
evening they will drop around unexpect-
edly to the prospective bride's home and
will stay for supper. During the meal
they will keep a dose watch on the
young lady. If she eats fast, she will
perform her work speedily; if she goes
neatly and cleanly about her plate, she
will perform her work neatly and clean-
ly; if she does not talk much, she will
work and not talk and prove a faithful
and obedient wife to her husband; if she
prefers rye bread to white, she will be
satisfied with her lot; if she does not
gaze and stare at the visitors, she will Ile
a wife that will not continually pry into
her husbaud's businesp, and If she jinme-
diately proceeds- to clean up the dishes
after the meal she will bring prosperity
to-, her husband and will be economical
with his money.
Thus the fate of the young couple is
decided. Should she prove satisfactory
to the young man's parents by the above
mentioned actions the parents stay after
supper and close the bargain with the.
young lady's parents over "a bottle of
good vodka.
A most peculiar thing about the mar-
riage ceremony is the fact that when the
couple enter the church both groom and
bride snake a dash for the platform, on
which is the pulpit. It is believed that
the one whose foot touches the platform
first will live the longer and that the
children will take after that one fn size,
health and beauty.
The festivities last three days, during
which all friends and relatives celebrate
a holiday. The bride is adorned in a
bandana of the brightest hue and with
ribbons of all colors and shades. The
groom has a new fur hat and a skin
overcoat tied with a belt of brightest red.
The marriages generally take place in
the fall, after the harvest has been gath-
ered.

AN EARTHQUAKE.
The Sensation It Produces and the
Terror It Inspires.
We have had an earthquake, and I
have never had a sensation like it, either
physically, mentally or spiritually. I was
up stere writing in my room, which opens
with French doors on to a large stone
balcony overlooking thecourt in which
the fountain is. For some time there was
an increasing trembling, which I at first
thought was the moving of furniture,
though it seemed strange that it should
d
shake a heavy stone building, but when
I began to reel dizzy, I said to myself,
"Earthquake," and I then went out on to
the balcony, and sure enough the whole
building was visibly swaying and the
large hanging lamps swinging like cen-
sers. There was no noise, which made it
all the more weird. I ran down stairs and
found every one hurrying into' the street
(it was in the afternoon), and in the wide
street which opens into the Alameda
(public gardens) at this point was a very
impressive scene.
All traffic had stopped still, and there
were hundreds of people in little groups
on their knees praying, some aloud, some
to themselves, the men with their hats
off. Those who werenot kneeling were
holding on to one another, as neo one
'could stand steady. The lamp posts were
swinging like trees in a wind. Somepeo-
ple were calm, others in abject terror.
I can't say that I was not afraid at al
though as soon as I was out of the built
ing 1 couldn't see the chance of any dan-
ger. The earth was not any longer .trem-
bling or shaking, • but swinging, which
was most demoralizing. 1 felt somewhat
ass though a solemn and dignified night-
mare had came true, or as though we had
suddenly been transferred to somewhere
near the Presence where the working of
nature was going on. It was very strange
indeed.. No one was hurt in our part of
the town, and I can see now how very
little danger there really was, for there
was plenty of time to get into the open.—

NO ITNESSES REQUIRED,
A Public .Church.
Probably the only public church in the
world is at Cynthiana, in Posey county,
Ind. It does not belong to any certain
denomination, but is open to all creeds
who desire to hold services there. The
church was built by the Wilkinson fam-
ily, one of the pioneer families of that
county.
"The church stands about a mile south
,of Cynthiana. It is a neat little building
and will accommodate about 1,000 peo-
ple. The church is looked after by a
board of trustees. Near the church is a
cemetery, where all the Wilkinsons are
buried in a row. The burial ground is
public, and the farmers living in the
neighborhood see to it that the place is
not neglected. Every spring the farmers
lay aside their work for a day and put
the old burial ground in good shape:

Heart Failure.
Hyson—How did the Blank murder
case come out?
Foochow—Oh, the woman was cleared
of the charge!
Hyson—But how could that be? She
shot the man deliberately, and he died
instantly, as at least half a dozen per-
sons testified.
Foochow—I know, but the defense had
a medical expert. He made a post mor-
tem examination of the man whom the
woman shot, and he declared that it was
a case of heart failure.—Boston Tran-
script.
'THE FASHION PLATE.
White tulle hats to wear with airy
evening toilets are trimmed with white
wings and quaint rhinestone buckles,
High class modistes are making con-
siderable use of fringes of every width
in silk or chenille or both in combination.
Some very beautiful tints in blue and
in gray are used for evening toilets of
veiling, peau de sole, faille francais and
satin foulard.
The new lovely rose color called Amer.
scan beauty is a prominent shade among
rich or dainty . summer textiles and on
French millinery in hats entire or among
the striking accessories.
Summer cloth and foulard and etamine
or canvas and foulard form very smart
gowns. A few of the latest gowns are
double skirted, but the majority are in
one piece when made of wool of any de-
scription.
White trimmings are greatly ,in evi-
dence on summer gowns of every de-
scription—white lace, white chiffon,tulle,
etc. Cloth dresses, those of veiling, ere-
pon and hengietta cloth, hare white pip-
ings and folds.
Entire white costumes will be in mark-
ed vogue this summer, and as white par
emote and beautiful white dress materials
are now to be purchased at such surpris-
ingly low prices it is very easy to make
selection for white toilets.—New York
Pont..
Now that se much whit* lace, white
chiffon, cordings, etc., are used . for trim-
ming evening toilets, white., suede gloves
are in great use, but other very popular
tints include the soft shades of tan,
maize, primrose, canary, pearl gray,.deli-
eate cameo and Persian mauve.
Many dressmakers art using flounces
cut straight from the goods instead of
the long popular circular shapes cut bias.
The reason is that on wash fabrics the
former come from the laundry in bet-
ter condition than- the others, and on
very light, airy fabrics they hang better.

OUfl CANADIAN COUSINS.
Great Britain seems unable to bring
Canada Into the proposed Anglo-Ameri-
can union.—Baltimore Herald.
Canada has just one practical way to
work for an Alaskan seaport, and that is
to aslefor annexation.—St. Louis Globe -
Democrat.
This ie a time of recantation. Here is
Goldwin Smith renouncing annexation
,and saying, "Not in the short remainder
of my lifetime is it likely to be heard of
again."—Ottawa Citizen.
So far as the boundary dispute Is con-
cerned all that we can claim is what
Russia warranted when we bought Alas-
ka, and that we'll have, with or without
arbitration.—Detroit Tribune.
When the United States took the terri-
tory known as Alaska, all the right of
Russia came with that territory. Cana-
da made no claim to the boundary which
it now marks out. The United States
has held undisturbed possession for more
than 30 years. That would constitute a
good title in England, even were there
no other.

RAILWAY TIES.
The first electric railway in the world
was built in Ireland, from Bushmills to
Giant's Causeway.
New steam railway construction this
year will reach 5,000 miles. Nearly 4,000
are under way already. This is a record
unequaled since 1890.
The Japanese railways have introduc-
ed newspaper reading cars on some of
their passenger trains. Tall piles of
newepapers are kept at the service of
travelers, so that they may read as they
ride.
French railways are now running, Eng-
lish and American close in the matter of
speed. Of 425 expresses doing over 50
miles an hour 5 do from 54 to 58 miles,
including stoppages. The express from
Paris to Amiens does 57.7 miles an hour,
the total distance being 81% miles.
