erolc Endeavor of Mule Trader to
Squirm Out of Tight Hole.
Mr. Justice IJrowor of the United
Slates supreme court , in lecturing bo-
'oro IIH | law class at the George
Washington university some years ago ,
md occasion to Illustrate an Argument
regarding the Slight ot Unto , and the
tory ho told In illustration was
rather hotter than the usual "darky"
skit.
" 1 knew of n case once , ' said the
lustlce , "whero two darkles swapped
mules. Ono ot them was an old hand
it the business , and In making the
Irado he represented his mule to ho
seven years old. This was In Febru
ary , and the now possessor of the mule
hud not had It long when lie dlscov-
jrod that ho had boon .materially
cheated , on the point of the mule's
age , at least. Dut the victim , did not
manage to find tl\e \ man who had vic
timized him until .veil along Into
t\io month of Juno. Having found
iilm , however , ho ut once accused hla
opponent of making rascally misrep
resentations to htm regarding the irau
age of the mule in question.
' "You say , ' said the former pro
prietor of the mule , 'dat when you got
de mule In February dat he was soben
year old huh ? Au' now It's Juno an'
you 'low he's twelb year old ? '
" 'I dol' was the angry response.
"Tho trickster rolled his eyes and
shook hla kinky head. 'Ma. soul , man I'
he groaned , 'Time she do fly ! ' "
Quite the Contrary.
"Gentlemen , " said the campaign
spellbinder , as ho began his speech ,
"In the words of our Illustrious chief
at Washington , who said : 'Speak ' "
"Louder ! " yelfod a score of voices
In the back part of the hall.
"Not at all , gentlemen , " said the
orator , visibly irritated. "Ho said , as
every well-informed person knows :
'Speak softly , ' even while carrying the
big stick. If I am , Interrupted again"
hero ho waved the chairman's gavel
aloft "I shall use the big stick un
sparingly ! "
Having thus asserted himself , and
silenced the rude .persons who had
been guilty of the unseemly Interrup
tion , he resumed his speech.
Successful Hypocrite.
Gnilgaoll , the son of a fisherman ,
& priest in a rich abb'oy In Florence ,
had a net spread every day. on the ta
ble of his apartment to put him , as
ho said , In mind of his origin , .The
abbot dying , this dissembled humility
procured Gruignoli , to bo his successor
ser , and the net waa used no more
A friend who came to see him the day
afterwards , on entering his apart
ment , said :
"Where is the net/
"Thero Is no further occasion for
the net , " replied Oruignoll , "when the
CUb. Is caught"
Find of Coral.
, Now that coral la , becoming fash
ionable nguln , It IB Interesting to learn
that a diver of Algiers had recently
discovered off the coasfof Mansourah
rich banks at coral , situated J a depth
of about 1UO feot.
The Hailing lor this curious polyp la
considered one of the moat difficult in
dustries which exists. Since coral has
ceased to be lOKhlunablo It has not
been ut all remunerative , and Is little -
tlo practiced uxce.pt by the Maltese
and Sicilians.
Up to the present tlmo the annual
allowance of1,000 francs decreed by
the Algol tun government In 1904 for
distribution as prizes among the coral
Ushers has not been used. 'J his diver
will , without doubt , be the first bene
ficiary.
Woman's Great Compensation.
Dress Is one of the great compen
sations , or should be , to women for
the many disadvantages of their sex
There is nothing that enables us to
defy the natural consequences of
Time so successfully , provided wo
give enough attention to the poten
tialities of , and to the individuality In
dress. It Is a duty that women ewe
to society to make the best of them
selves. But a great deal of the sue
cess of a gown depends on the degree
to which it Is In harmony with its sur
roundings. To bo overdressed Is
worse than being shabbily dressed
However beautiful a frock may bo , 1
it strikes a discordant note with its
surroundings much of its beauty wll
be lost. The Ladles' Friend.
