ILs business was to look at the docket and find the facts about any case that seem ed to him to warrant him in writing about. One afternoon bj tiseovered an entry that said one wpiam Burns had been arrested and fined $10 for stealing a martingale from James Jones , A neigh bor. bor.He He recited thes facts In an Introduc tory paragraph , and then went on : 'This criminal was justly punished , for the pretty littte martingale he stole was the Joy and comfort of the wife of James Jones. She kept It in a cage in her parlor , and when , tired with the work of the day , the martingale began to pour forth those strains of melody for which our Pittsburg martingales are famous , she found great pleasure. Sucli miscreants as this man Burns should not be allowed at large , especially when they descend s6 low as to steal harm less and melodious martingales. " Sat urday Evening Post.

THE FAMILY'S FAVORITE HEDSOfNE CATKAB.T2C BOWELS m frivv < M : m , USARCIAL Unseasonable weather interrupted retail dealings .nud there was a smaller demand upon the jobbers for staple goods- but the buying of holiday spe cialties maintains an exceptional aggre gate. No diminution appears In the volume of production in Iron and steel and other prominent industries , and a steady flow of new demands added ur- ther to the pressure upon manufactur ing capacity and maintained firm mar kets for raw materials. More congestion is noted in railroad transportation and various - in terests suffer severe drawbacks from lack of cars. Advices from interior points continue cheerful as to the ex cellent outlook for winter trade , stocks of merchandise undergoing tinely re duction , and mercantile collections at western points make a good showing. Distribution of commodities is swell ed beyond all previous magnitude , much of the gain being duo to unprece dented quantities of heavy materials for construction and po\ver. Earnings of the Chicago railroads increase large ly in gross over those of a year ago , and with the liberal additions now be ing made to equipment some relief soon may be apparent where congestion is acutest. Failures reported in the Chicago dis trict numbered 2G , against 27 last week and 21 a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade. Though checked In York. some sections by irregular weather conditions , trade Is active as a whole. Holiday demand is opening up earlier than usual , in dustry in nearly all lines is still pushed to the limit of production , and little relief from the prevailing car conges tion is yet apparent , despite the fact that the movement of certain crops to market is smaller than usual at this season. Despite the approach of the close of the season of outdoor activi ties , there is still general complaint of the scarcity of labor , and railways , mills , and factories are conceding ad vances in wages to hold their help , without , however , entirely satisfying demands presented. A season of plen teous production , of immense indus trial activity , and of great financial operations is apparently closing , with a record holiday trade beginning ear lier than usual. Jobbers have been working to fill re orders for fall and winter goods , while wholesalers have been busy on spring account. Taken as a wbole , trade in first and second hands is at present more active than usual at this season , while retail trade U heavy , demand covering a wide range , and the quality of purchases exceptionally high.

Theresa was a mute of unusually mulish disposition. She belonged to Jean Turcotte , a Frenchman possessed of a truly remarkable fund of patience ; but he needed it all , for Theresa was not only a beast of burden , but a bur densome beast If Turcotte wished to go up-hill , The- tesa invariably felt impelled to go down. If Turcotte yearned to ride in the shade , nothing but sunshine would do for Theresa. If the Frenchman ex pressed a wish to go forward , the mule was immediately seized with a desire to "crawfish" in the opposite direction. Yet Turcotte bore with her for sis long years. Finally , however , Theresa , balking at' a time when she was weighted down ( with two bags of lime , backed off the dock into deej ? water , and forever van ished from sight. "Theresa Turcotte , " breathed the Frenchman , fervently , as he leaned over the edge of the wharf to shake his fist at the rising bubbles , "I hope for once that you got your mos' complete satisfy.
