jndg« Wouldn't Commit Him, so
Bo Brought tho Court to Time.
Magistrate Ladner was seated in
state behind the tall railing in his
office, his dignified clerk atone elbow,
hla dreaded constablo at tho other,
when a well-dressed man entered,
mounted the step below the railing,
leaned over, and observed:
“Judge, I wish you would commit
me to the house of correction.”
“Too late,” answered his honor,
curtly. “Drop around to-morrow
morning.”
But Ladner's visitor was not to be
discouraged.
“My name, judge,”»said he, “is Silas
Elkinton. I’ve been drinking too
much and eating too little. I’m all
broken up and I haven’t a cent Won’t
you give me a chance to brace up?”
“You can have it to-morrow," was
the reply. “The boat has gone up the
river and I don’t commit in the after
noon to suit the convenience of any
man that wacts to go to jaU.”.'
“I’m desperate,” rejoined Elkinton.
“If you don’t commit me now I’ll
Bmash somebody’s window; then you’ll
have to do it”
"Go ahead,” said Ladner, for the
man did not look a person to carry
out the threat
“You won’t commit me?’’
“No!”
Smash! Silas Eliflnton's fist went
through Magistrate Ladner’s door
pane, price 81.75, right under the
awful constable’s very nose.
“Now,” said the visitor, “I’ll bet
you’ll commit me.”
“You’ve thrown aces,” the magis
trate rejoined, red-hot “I'll commit
you for a year." '*
“You are more than kind,” said
Elkinton, and the constable marched
him off to a square meal.
HIS FIRST FEB.
But the Old Servant Beat the Doctor
Out of the Precious 92.
“You can tell your hard luck stories
until you are blue in the face, but I
can beat them all."
“Yes of course you can.” yelled the
crowd.
“Well, lean.. When I graduated
from the medical college I knew it all,
as is usual, and got out a nice gold
sign on the front of the house, with
M. D. after my name. Then I got a
tin one on a .post to swing over the
side walk. Then I waited for busi
ness. We had an old housekeeper
who nursed me when I was
a baby, and felt that she
was privileged to take all sorts
of liberties with me, and did
it; I will always be a boy in her eyes.
Well, I got a case eventually. The
patient was a neighboring servant
girl with some ordinary trouble, and
with due ceremony I gave her advice
and a prescription besides. As we ap
proached the front door she asked
me what my fee was, and I was about
to make a bold play for $2, when the
old housekeeper sailed up with ‘Hello,
Mary; why Louie won't charge you
anything—I hope you’re better,’ and
opening the door old Bridget let my
first patient and my first fee sail down
the steps together. Wasn’t that hard
lqck?”
“Not by several fees!” said the
young surgeon of some practice.
“Wait till you see a whole book full
of fees get away, then begin to kick.”
DESERTED BY MEMORY.
Two Instance* of the Treachery of the
Human Mind.
A smart young cavalry officer was
recently exercising his regiment upon
the drill ground when the familiar
words of command suddenly slipped
from his mind, and the strenuous ef
fort made to recall thorn was utterly
futile. In order to cover his embar
rassment he was compelled to retire
from command under the plea of ill
ness. The fugitive sentence came to
him when he reached his room.
A still more singular case is that of
a well-known and esteemed mer
chant, whose memory so treacher
ously failed him one morning after
leaving home that he was totally un
able to locate his offices, and was
actually compelled to inquire as to
their whereabouts. Another inter
esting example is that of a popular
novelist who had nearly finished an
important work upon which he was
engaged when a sudden failure of
memory deprived him of his plot and
necessitated the laying aside of the
book for more than a week; then an
association of ideas recalled the miss
ing plot, the novel was brought to a
successful issue and enjoyed a wide
circulation.
Uiiilns Heir to the Aberdeen Earldom*
The present earl of Aberdeen, vice
roy and governor .general of Canada,
is liable at any moment to be ousted
from his seat In the' house of lords
and deprived of his peerage and es
tate by the reappearance of his elder
brother, who vanished in a most mys
terious fashion years ago, during a
voyage from New York to Brazil,
from a vessel where he was serving as
sailor before the mast. He was very
eccentric, had been roaming around
the world for years without letting
his relatives know of his movements
or of his whereabouts, and hence it is
quite possible that he may still be
alive somewhere or other. For, not
withstanding all efforts to discover a
triice as to what had become of him,
no clew has ever been obtained, nor
is there any certainty of his death.
A Poor Bargain.
A Scotch minister is said to have re
buked his wife for sleeping during his
sermon, in this fashion: “Susan," he
exclaimed from the pulpit, in a voice
that awakened her, as it did all the
other sleepers—“Susan, I didna marry
ye for yer wealth, sin ye had none.
And I didna marry ye for yer beauty
—that the whole congregation can
see. And if ye had no grace, I hae
made a sair bargain in ye, indeed.”
AN OLD SUITOR.
IMIat'lMn Work Generally Many
External Changes.
Time, indeed works many changes.
Yesterday a well-known resident said
to Ins wife: “Oh, I forgot to tell you,
my dear, that I invited a friend here
to dinner to-day.”
She was in a flurry in a moment
“Why did you not tell me before?
We are not prepared. How careless
of you! If I had only known—”
“He will be glad to take just what
we have.”
“But.who is it my dear?”
The husband mentioned the name
of the expected visitor and then went
on reading the paper. But the wife
seemed greatly agitated. She fussed
around and went into the kitchen her
self. The visitor arrived. He was a
portly person, extremely large of girth
and bald. He passed most of the
time talking business to the husband.
When he had departed the wife, who
is sometimes given to touches of sen
timent, in spite of her forty odd years,
Bald to her husband:
“You heard that he said he knew
me when a girl, Frank?”
“Yea”
“Well, I have a confession to make.”
“What is it?"
“We were engaged once.”
Instead of expressing any surprise
he merely replied:
“Pooh. What of it?”
Then he went on reading the paper,
and she tried to see a certain resem
blance in a slim, aristocratic young
man to this modern Falstaff. Gifted
with great imagination, she almost
succeeded.

Philippa’s Time.
Mile. Humbert, a woman whose life
was shrouded in muoh mystery for
many years, has died in a veritable
garret in the Rue des Martyrs, Paris,
at the advanced age of 87.
In her district tho old dame passed
as a mendicant, owing to the shabbi
ness of hor attire, and people, struck
by her miserable appearance, some
times spontaneously offered her alms
in the streets. She never refused the
money, but was in the fiablt, after
receiving it, of telling her benefac
tors to keep away from the side of
her dress in which she kept her purse.
This extraordinary oonduct was usu
ally set down by good Samaritans to
craziness
Surprise was great when it was dis
covered lately that Mile. Humbert had
left a sum of several thousand pounds
in bonds and bank notes sewn up in
an old mattress, and that, moreover,
she had a valuable collection of paint
ings by old and modern masters in her
garret. It has since come to light
that the apparent mendicant and fe
male imitator of Daniel Dancer was a
great beauty in the days when Louis
Philippe was king, and that the money
and the pictures were gifts of her ad
mirers, one of whom was a prominent
supporter of the second empire. The
ex-demimondaine’s property now
passes to a relative, who is naturally
overjoyed|at the unexpected and wel
come windfall.
A. Valuable Bello.
It is claimed that at police head
quarters at Wheeling, W. Va., is a
precious relic in the shape of the
remnant of an ancient pistol, said to
have been carried by Washington
when he crossed the Delaware. To
prove that it was, the rust caused by
getting in the water is still on it, after
all these years. The funny fact about
it is that it has a percussion lock,
which goes to show that the popular
idea that percussion caps did not come
into vogue till long after Washing
ton’s time is without foundation in
fact This reminds a fellow, as the
late lamented Lord Dundreary might
have put it of the fellow, you know,
that owned the demijohn, you know,
out of which poor old Noah got drunk,
don’t you know, and made such a
blessed aws of himself.
Origin of the. Peach.
It has never been clearly ascertained
what was the- original parent of the
peach. It is, however, well known
that the peach, the almond and the
nectarine can be developed, the one
from the other; that it is therefore,
reasonable that all had the same
origin. It has been supposed that the
almond was really the antecedent of
the other two. Recently, however,
there has been found a wild plant in
the north of China and it is believed
that this is really the parent of the
peach and its allies. All that is known
of the peach and almond is that they
were in cultivation as garden plants
as far back as written history goes.
Sir Humphrey Davy's Safety Damp.
The smallest lamp is the miner's
safety lamp, invented in 1815 by Sir
Humphrey Davy. The frame of this
is of iron and brass inclosed in wire
gauze. The reservoir is of brass
screwed to the bottom of the lamp
and locked with a key. Its wick is
raised by lowering a sliding tube over
the wick carrier by means of a wire
running outside of the lamp and ex
posing a fresh section of the wick.
The key to this lamp was kept by the
officer in charge of the mine, so that
the minor could not possibly expose
the flame to the fire-damp.
Tea Tears Asleep.
For more than ten years Miss Susan
Friend of Prestonburg, Ky., has lam
in a sleep or stupor that nothing can
arouse her from. Ten years ago she
fell and cut her hand on the stump of
a sapling. The wound did not appear
to be serious, and healed in due time,
but gradually there came a change in
her condition. She grew morose and
silent, her health gave way, and final
ly she lost the use of her lower limbs.
Following this came a drowsiness that
nothing could shake off, and she was
placed in bed, where she has remained
•ver since.
