tumorous Department. A Well Selected Jury.?Down in an extremely rural district of Arkansas an old man was arrested for stealing a hog. The proof was positive, and the court was surprised when the plea of not guilty was introduced, j The lawyer for the defence, a man well-known for bis trickery rather i than his ability, seemed particularly ' desirous of selecting a jury tbatHvould < not show partiality iu its decision. ' The prosecuting attorney, a young J and experienced man, agreed to every i juryman selected by the defense, and i the judge, although he might have stepped over the bounds of judicial 1 courtesy, said nothing. The argu- 1 ments were concluded, leaving in The 1 minds of the people no doubt as to the verdict, for one of the witnesses, a ( man whose word one could not dis- j a, ly n eon? t /I H t. puie, swore luni uc cm. n.v. when he stole the animal. The jury ' retired, and, after a few moments, re- 1 turned with a verdict of not guilty, in exact opposition to the charge of the court. I When the court adjourned, the judge i approached the lawyer for the defense and remarked : 1 "Look here, my friend, I never I heard of such a verdict. I cannot, as an impartial dissemiuator of justice, allow so flagrant an outrage to be : perpetrated on this community. That 1 man is as guilty as Judas, but if you will tell me the secret of the acquittal, ; I'll allow the verdict to pass." "You see, judge, some of the jury- I men were rather young and some ( rather old." 1 "Yes, but what does that signify ?" i "It signifies that I run in the old ] man's 12 sons on the jury."?Little Rock Gazette. ' t i Why the Parson Left Ken- ; tucky.?A good many years ago, | when a certain place in Texas was a 11 4. o nnmhor nf I very smmi iuwlij ijunt a uuiuw* v? ( prominent citizens went out on a hunt- ' ing expedition. One night, when they j were all gathered around the camp fire, one of the party suggested that ! each man should give the time and : reason for his leaving bis native state and coming to Texas, whereupon each 1 one in turn told his experience. Judge 1 Blank bad killed a man in self-defense, in Arkansas; General Soandso had j forged another man's signature to a check ; while another came to Texas on account of his having two wives. J The only man who did not make any disclosures was a sanctimonious look- j ing old man, who, although a professional gambler, was usually called the 1 "Parson." "Well Parson, why did you leave ( Kentucky ?" "I don't care to say anything about . it. Besides it was only a trifle. None of you would believe anyhow." "Out with it! Did you shoot any- ' body ?" "No, gentleman, I did not. Since you want to know so bad, I'll tell you. I left Kentucky because I did not build a church. Deep silence fell on the group. No such excuse for coming to Texas had ever been heard before. There was evidently an unexplained mystery at the bottom of it. The "parson" was : called on to furnish more light.' "Well, gentlemen, you see a congre- ' gation raised 83,000 and turned it over to me to build the church, and 1 didn't build the church. That's all." A story of close management is told about a Yankee who lately settled down in the west. He went to a neighbor and thus accosted him : "Wal, I reckon, you hain't got no old hen nor nothin' you'll lend me for a few , weeks, have you, neighbor?" "I will , lend you one with pleasure," replied the gentleman, picking out the very , finest one in the coop. The Yankee took the hen home, and then went to another neighbor and borrowed a dozen eggs. He then set the hen, and in due course of time she hatched out a dozen chickens. The Yankee was again puzzled ; he could return the hen, but how was be to return the eggs ? Another idea. He would keep the hen until she laid a dozen eggs. This he did, and returned the hen and eggs to their respective owners, remarking as he did so, "Wal, I reckon I've got as fiue a dozen of chickens as you ever laid your eyes on, and tbey didn't cost me a cent, uuther."

"An' do you mane to tell me that he burst up ?" said Tim. "Indeed I do, upon my honor." Tim said he would take the pledge at once, and he did so in the following form : "I swear never to blow out a candle while I am drunk again." In arguing a point before a judge of the superior court, Colonel Folk, of the mountain circuit in North Carolina, laid down a very doubtful proposition of law. The judge eyed him a moment, and queried : "Colonel Folk, do you think that is law?" The colonel gracefully bowed, and replied : "Candor compels me to say that I do not, but I did not know how it would strike your honor." The judge deliberated a few moments, and gravely said : "That may not be contempt of court, but it is a close shave." t&T Canvasser?Beg pardon, but would you object to look at a book I have with me?

I was the only American operator in eastern Cuba in February and March, 1898, which were very busy months in the cable office at Santiago, where I had been for four years. In the early part of 1895 we seldom handled more than 30 message a day, but after the insurrection began the number rose to 90 and a 100 daily, increasing a little every month. The cable from Santiago to Spain goes under the sea first to Kingston, Jamaica, thence to Puerto Rico, thonco t.n St. Croix, and from there to Parmaribo and Pernambuco in Brazil. Cables from Pernambuco cross the South Atlantic to St. Vincent, Cape Verde islands; and from St. Vincent other cables extend to Maderia, thence to Lisbon, and overland to Madrid. There is also a less direct cable from Pernambuco to the St. Louis in Senegal, Africa, and thence to the Canary islands and Cadiz. Beside myself, there was but one other operator in Santiago office, Laurin Merode, a young Spaniard, who had learned cable work at Lisbon. We thought that a 100 messages daily made work enough, but over 800 passed the day after the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor. Four more operators were needed, and we called to Havana for help; but no notice was taken of our appeal, and rather than desert our posts and leave the company's business undone, we slaved night and day, always hoping the pressure would moderate. One day we sent 13,742 words in over 1,100 despatches, yet we were two hours "back" at midnight, with Havana fuming at us over the land wire, and still hurrying messages through the Cienfuegos cable. There were Spanish government cipher messages from Sagasta to Blanco, and Blanco cipher to Sagasta; reams of bombast from the Cuban correspondents of the Imparcial and Correo for Madrid, followed by more cipher to Weyler at Barcelona from his brother officers at Havana ; and then the bankers quoting, selling and ordering! To add to our vexations, the "mouse mill" of the siphon recorder gave trouble constantly, and the clockwork that carries the record tape broke down every day or two. Now a Spaniard is utterly without native ingenuity. Merode was a tolerably good operator, but when it came to rectifying faults of the instrument, be was an infant, and all such tasks fell on me. Anything like clockwork I can "tinker;" but the mouse mill that works the siphon pen is a very delicate bit of mechanism, which assists the faint electric impulses that come great distances through the cable to move the ink point of the recorder to and fro on the tape. I suppose I had taken the record tape clockwork and mouse mill apart twenty different times; and on the evening of the second of April, after Merode relieved me, I set to work to wind a new motor coil for the mouse mill, which had worked so very badly all day that, rather than struggle with it longer, I had determined to sit up all night and build a new "mill." The cable-house at Santiago is a most lonesome place, particularly at night; but a Spanish sentinel was supposed to pass the door every three minutes. These poor fellows were rarely paid, and often looked in at the r?_ ?i iL. door to beg a cigareixe. do wueu iuc outside door opened behind us that evening, I supposed the incomer was the sentinel, and I did not even look around till an amused voice exclaimed, "Aha, senors! Buenos noches !" A Spanish sentinel begging a cigarette does not speak in that tone, so Merodeand I faced round with a jump. There stood a rather tall, good-looking young fellow, in a white duck suit and white cap, regarding us keenly ; and a step behind him was a typical Cuban rebel?sombrero, long mustachios, broad belt, long boots, revolver and machete. In an instant Merode was on his feet and shouted, "Sentinela!" at which our unexpected visitors laughed good-huinoredly, and the Cuban said, "I must beg the Seuor Telegrafero not to distress himself concerning the worthy sentiuel, for that watchful soldier is now lying comfortably on his back outside, with a gag in his mouth, and his hands are tied to his feet." "Well, who are you, and what do you want here?" I exclaimed, in Spanish. The young man iu white duck laughed. "You are an American; anybody could tell that by your Spanish. Oh, I kuow about you. Speak English." "Certainly," I replied. "What do you want here ?" "The news." "What news ?" "Are the Spanish war-ships Vizcaya * J. _?:ii ana uquenuu, sun at xucu/u mvu. Has the torpedo flotilla arrived there, or has it gone to St. Vinceft, at Cape de Verde ?" "It is contrary to the rules of the cable company for me to give such information," I replied. "Besides, all these Spanish government messages are in cipher, which I am not supposed to know anything about." "Don't let the cipher trouble you," he replied, laughing. "I have the key to their cipher all right. "As to who I am," he continued, "my name's Macomber. I am the correspondent of the ." He named an American journal. "News as to the whereabouts of the Spanish torpedo-boats and those cruisers would be valuable just now, not only to my paper, but to the American navy at Key West. Now you are an American, and a good patriot, I dare say. Will you not help us out ?" "I'm a good patriot," said I. "And I am also an honest man, employed here to do a certain duty, which I will not betray." "You will not help me, then ? Very well, I shall examine your tapes by force." "It is not my business to fight for Spain," said I. "I have no force to resist you, but I will not help you." - "Thanks. That's all I ask. Just you sit quiet." "Do you think you can read our ' tapes?" I asked, incredulously. 1 "Sure. I was a cable operator j1 three years." < "But where did you get your cipher ] key?" < "That's a matter that was arranged J in Havana, three months ago. Your ( "?? Kr\KK5ne A-vr (Ko Piirrpnt. wppk flrp I f iapc uvuuiuo iv/i vuv vM?. in the table drawer, I presume ?" "Look for yourself," I said. "But i my fellow operator here is a Spaniard. ' I do not speak for him." t "Senor Merode," I said in Spanish, i "these gentlemen wish to see the re- t cord tapes." ? Merode had stood listening, making t out what' we said with difficulty, t "Nunca !" (Never!) he exclaimed, ex- i citedly, "and made a jump for the big ? table drawer, with some notion, I i think, of destroying the tapes. He J was a plucky fellow. But the Cuban t seized him by the colar before he could i open the drawer, flung him violently ? backward on the floor, and drew his i machete. c "Don't hurt him, Luiz!" shouted!" i Macomber, and then, after a steady t glance at me, he stepped to the drawer himself and took out the rolls of 1 tape. 1 "This will be a somewhat long and 1 tedious business," he remarked, be- 1 ginning to unroll one of them. "You ? might help me if you w^jld; but at ? least oblige me by turning up the ? lamp a little and placing it on the ? table here." 1 "Thanks," he went on, when I had t nnmnUort and hfifran ranidlv unrolling 1 ?f- ) O ? w the tape through his fingers. He read well and fast, and his running comment amused me : "Oh, this is a dandy siphon of yours, isn't it!" What ails your mouse mill?" "Say, friend, your record here looks like the teeth of an old dull buck-saw." "Your ink's coagulated." I sat back and quietly looked on. Merode still lay on the floor. The Cuban stood watching us both ; if Merode stirred, he shook his machete at him. Thus, fully an hour passed; it seemed much more than an hour, indeed, before our American visitor found what he sought. "Ah !" he exclaimed at last. "Here we are! So the Vizcaya and Oquendo left Puerto Rico for St. Vincent last Sunday. Good ! Blanco is informed that the torpedo flotilla is going to St. Vincent, too, instead of coming to Havana. "That's all I wanted to know," he coatinued, turning to me. "Sorry to leave your tapes in such a mess, but I really cannot stop to roll them up again ; for I must be well out to sea before daylight. Oblige us now, both of you, by remaining quiet here after we bid you good night." But just then there was a new noise outside. The door opening to the street was flung back, and there stood a Spanish lieutenant from the fort, with half-a-dozen soldiers at his back ! For the Spanish sentry?a boy of 18? whom they had' gagged and tied up outside the house, had proved more nimble than they had thought him. He fiad worked himself loose, and hnH run tn the fort for aid. The Cuban turned instantly, killed i the lieutenant with a swing of his < machete, and was at once shot down < hy a soldier who fired over the shoul- J der of his falling officer. I Macomber showed better judgment, ' if less courage; he dashed the lamp ' out and grasped me by the arm. i "Help me out," he said. < It would be difficult for anyone to 5 resist the appeal of a felloweouutry- < man at such a time. While the sol- < diers rushed in trampling and falling I over the slain men and Merode, I pull- 1 ed the American after me through a * door, back of the tables, which opened 1 into our battery-room. Iu this back ' room was a window looking out ou 1 the harbor side, from which Macom ber f swung in an instant and decamped * without a word. I had time to get forward into the cable-room before Merode, who had regained his feet, fc struck a match and relighted the lamp. 1 Of the gruesome spectacle which the ^ light revealed I will not speak. t After the manner of Spanish justice, I both Merode and myself were put c under arrest, pendiugan investigation, I which showed that neither of us knew 1 anything about the affair. Yet the c commandant at Santiago suspected v that I had planned it, and sent me ^ under arrest to Havana, by steamer, s the following evening ! * I expected to remain in Las Cabanas c for the rest of my days, but was dis- * missed without trial the second day e after arriving there, and left Havana 1 along with a 180 other Americans on L the following Sunday. Hot Weather Cautions For Bathers.?Never enter the water when overheated; rest a little first, and cool oil', but not enough to feel . cold. Bathers should enter the water when the body is at a glow, not when it is in active or violent perspiration. Never enter the water with a headache ; never do so with a fufl stomach. Nothiug can be more dangerous to the system than to contravene these rules, and many huve lost their lives by neglecting them. No one should enter the water immediately after dinner ; none who wish to avoid the swimmer's bugbear, cramps, should enter it when suffering from acidity of the stomach. The best time for bathers is either before breakfast or between 11 and 12 in the forenoon. All who suffer from delicate constitutions should avoid bathing in the early morning.?Frank H.
