"-Philadelphia Bulletin. ' Expert Testlmouy oa Lrlac A Kansas City lawyer tell .of .the usa of expert testimony on lying. He says: "1 was prosecuting attorney for Finney county In 1881, and had a fellow up before Squire N.C. Jones on the charge of horse stealing.' lie hired Mike 6utton to defend Mm, and when the case was called I proved beyond question, by a witness whi witnessed the theft, that we had the right man. After the prosecution had rested, Button introduced 'Buffalo Jones as a wit ness, and gravely Informed the court that he Intended to prove by him that my wit ness had lied. 'Buffalo' took the stand and swore that while he had never seen or heard of the witness before, and knew nothing at all about the crime committed, he had had a great deal of experience with men and could tell pretty certain when they were lying. Then he proceeded to tell how men acted when they were lying, And gave the expert opinion that ' my witness had sworn to lies from the word go. I pro tested against such performances, but Sut ton made the Judge believe he bad as much right to Introduce an expert on liars as he would have to Introduce an' expert on med icine or any other science, and the result was the thief was dismissed from custody."

Story of Jeffersoa. New Tork still has at least one of Its old time firms of booksellers the sort of busi ness house which Is law unto Itself, and alters not the law to suit the convenience of any one, however great. Joseph Jeffer aeft had been a customer of this Arm for years, but had never seen either of Its members, who may Just as well be called Jones A Smith as anything elsa One day Jefferson called at the shop, his errand be ing to protest against a long delay In delivering- books he had ordered. The old gentleman arrived In a very Irate state of tnlnd, but toon cooled off when, he observed the pained expression of the shopkeeper. "You understand," said the veteran, "that I don't wish to be offensive to you. It Is your confounded firm I am complaining of. II you are Jones, I say d Smith. If you are 8mith, I say d Jones. I don't mean to be personal at all." New Tork Times. Got the Better of Batler. Purlng his boyhood Benjamin F. Butler was a frequent visitor In the town of Nut- tlngham, N. H., where an uncle resided, and among the many stories related of him is one concerning his examination of Pal Murphy, s local character. Tim Dolan had been accused of selling liquor, and the prosecution summoned Pat to testify In the case. Now Pat was a Job teamster, and Butler endeavored to make him admit that he had delivered liquor to" the defendant . Butler asked.; "Did you ever take any freight from the railroad office and deliver to Tim Dolan?" ' "Yls, sor." "Patt of this freight was a barrel, wasn't It?" "Yls, sor." "Pat. what was In that barrel?" "I don't know, sor!" "Don't know! Wasn't the barrel marked?" "Tie, sor." "Then, how dare you tell the court that you don't knoAV what was in It?"

Senator Depew at a dinner lo Washing ton was praising the wit of women. "Against this wit." he aald, "we men are powerless. Even wfeen all the right and logic of an argument Is on our side, woman, with all her wit, will nine times out of ten put us to shame. "Thus a man once found that his wife had bought a few puffs of false hair. This displeased him. He hid in the hall one day, and. Just as the lady was fixing the false puffs upon her brow, he darted In upon her. " 'Mary.' he said, reproachfully, 'why do you put the hair of another woman on your head?' " 'Why,' his wife answered, 'do you put the skin of another calf on your hands?' " Cincinnati Enquirer. A Brother Indeed. Andrew D. White tells this story of Rub. ert Browning. The poet one morning, hear ing a noise in the street before his house, went to his window and saw a great crowd gaslng at some Chinamen In gorgeous cos tumes who were Just luavlug their carriages to mount his steps. Presently they were announced as the Chinese minister at the court of St. James and his suite. A bjIpmiu prcentatloii having taken place, Browning said to the Interpreter. "May I ask lo what I am indebted for the honor of his excellency's visit?" The Interpreter re plied: "His excellency Is a poet In his own country." Thereupon the two poets shook tends heartily. Browning then said: "May I ask to what branch of poetry his ex cellency devote himself?" To which the Interpreter answered: "His excellency de votes himself to poetical enigmas." At this Browning, recognizing fully the comla clement In the situation, extended his hand most cordially, saying: "His excellency Is thrice welcomed; he Is a brother Indeed!" A Joke 1 11 Court. "While In Ungland recently," says "Abe" Hummel, "I called on an eminent barrister with whom 1 was going to the race a at Newmarket. He asked me to step over to the law courts while ho made a motion In the trial of a client accused of rather large swindling operations. 1 consented, pro vided 1 should not have to listen to any of the atrocious puns that are alleged lo pass between the learned judges andcoun-' nel in English procedure. " 'Nonsense,' aid my friend. 'We never do anything of the sort. It's mere news paper talk.' "To my surprise, and obviously to that of my friend as well, his client was brought into court handcuffed to another man ar raigned on a criminal charge. At the proper time the Judge said: " T am astonished that such a prepos sessing prisoner should be brought before mo on a charge like this. He looks like a prosperous, polished, well groomed man of the world.' " 'He should present a neat appearance, my lord,' replied the counsel. 'He was brought Into court Ironed.' "New York Times. Back to Boyhood. Travers had bven absent from his club for two days. When at last he appeared one evening with a light of victory In his face, his fellow numbers crowded round him and demanded to know why and where he had been. "I have been humiliated, deeply, painfully humiliated," he said. "Let s hear about It," came In quick chorus. "Well, the other afternoon I was walking up King street, when 1 found a group of boys spinning tops on the sidewalk or rather trying to spin tops. They were very small boys. s " 'Say. mister,' said one of them to me, 'can you spin a top?' " 'Indeed I ran,' 1 said. " 'Show us ,how,' they all demanded. "I used to be a first-class top spinner twenty years ago, so I pulled off my gloves and took the top and string. Theit my troubles began. Klrst I could not wind the thing. The string kept slipping down. Then when I did get It wound 1 couldn't remem ber which Angers should hold the end tf the curd. I put the button between the second and third Angers and threw. The top bounded Into a mud putldle in the middle of the roail. Tli 1j said nothins. "I tried again with the button betneeu the first and second Angers, but still thn top would not spin. I tried the flrsl combina tion again with the same result. - " 'Ho!' said one boy. 'Mike can du better'n jo J. and he ain't only six.'

I And that all the leading American news papers and jnagaxlnes are sold in Cuba. You may buy them In Havana in the vari ous passageways upon which the stores open, and there la a large news stand Just above the national thcaler which belong to a German-American who has u general rews business in other cities as well. This man tells me that he sells 12,-000 American magazines and 60,000 American newspapers every month. He charges good prices. All American papers cost from 7 to 10 cents apiece. The 10-cent magazines cost about IS cents and other things In proportion. The only books sold are paper novels, al though one may occasionally buy English bound books In the Spanish book stores. I find that many of our American houses are sending goods here by mall. This is so with the big Chicago mall-order bouses and also the leading merchants of other cities. Lord It Taylor, John Wanamaker, Arnold & Constable and other New Yorkers are doing such a retail business with Cuba, and a number of such houses have open ao counts with people throughout Cuba. Many Cubans com to the United States and there arrange to have goods sent to them. Some big Arms send men here to drum up such accounts, and altogther a great deal of business la done which does not show in our trade reports. A commerclsl traveler representing one of the largest department stores of the United States, for Instance, tells nie that he Is sell ing many fine editions of the English and American novelists and sets of costly dic tionaries. He lis told within the pnst three month ffO.'HHiV-orth of a ten-volume dictionary; the finest bindings ar In chief demand, and the sets average $13 apiece.

Raffles Slory (Continued from Page Two ) himself In such a aay that even the porter could not recognize him If they came face to face at th corner. And the sun fcas still up. Put Rattles would go. and when he dirt I should not have known him m self. He may have been an hour way. It wa barely dusk when he returned, and my Arst Question referrd to our danasbua ally, the porter. Raffles had passed him unsuspected In going, but had managed to avoid him altogether on the return Journey, which he had completed by way of the other entrance and the roof. 1 breathed again. "And what have you done with the cup?" "Placed It!" "How much for? How much for?" "Let me think. I had a couple of cabs and the postage was a tanner, with an other twopence for registration. Yes, It cost me exactly five-and-elght." "It cost you? But what did you get for it, Rafftes?" "Nothing, my boy." "Nothing!" ' "Not a crimson cent." "I am not surprised. I never thought It had 'a market value. I told you so In the beginning." I said Irritably. "But what on earth have you done with the thing?" "Sent It to the cueen." "You haven't!" Rogue Is a word with various meanings, and Raffles had been one sort of rogue ever since I had known him, but now for once he was the Innocent variety, a great gray-haired child, running over with mer riment and mischief. "Well. I've sent It to Sir Arthur Bigga to present to her majesty, with the loyal respects of the thief, If that will do for you," said Raffles. "I thought they might take too much stock of me at the O. P. O. If I addressed It to the sovereign herself. Yee, I drove over to St. Martin's-le-Grand with It, and I registered the box Into th bargain. Do a-thlng properly If you do it at all." "But why on earth," I groaned, "do such a thing at all?" "My dear Bunny, we have been reigned over for over sixty years by Infinitely the finest monarch the world has ever seen. The world is taking the present opportunity of signifying the fact for all it is worth.

"Supposing they trace It to us?" said I. "There's not much to catch hold of In a biscuit box by Huntley & Palmer." repllei And I didn't write a word upon a sheet of paper which could possibly be traced. I simply printed two or three on a virginal post card-another halfpenny to the had -which might have been bought at any pnt ofllce in the kingdom. No, old chap, the G. P.
