^timorous JUprtmcnt. All the Pig's Fault. One of the best stories the house Democrats have heard this session is the story of a Georgia pig, a Georgia Negro, and a Georgia justice of the peace, says the Washington Post. Its author is Judge Bartlett, of Georgia, who is the justice of the peace-in the story, and who is likewise one of the cleverest imitators of the Negro dialect that, in the language of the sporting fraternity, "ever traveled along the dusty pike." Plain words in black and white are feeble to express the merriment Judge Bartlett in his soft, southern accents puts into the telling. When the judge was on the bench, the Georgia Negro was brought before him, accused of stealing a pig. The Negro's excuse is the point of the story. " 'Jedge,' said he, 'I war down in de marsh with de oxen when I saw dis little pig coming. Little pig, says I, doan you come dis way. De oxen will hurt you, little pig.' " 'But de little pig kep' coming toward the oxen, saying, "Oo, oo, oo." " 'De little pig keeps coming straight fer dat big ox on the off-side. I says again: "Go away little pig. Dat big ox on de * off-side will kick yo' suah," *but dat little pig say, "We, we, we," and he goes straight for dat old off ox. Den dat old off ox kicks dat little pig, and he lays out stiff on de ground.' " 'Well,' interposed Judge Bartlett, cutting short the testimony in this important and highly picturesque litiga, tion, 'I fine you $25.' " The Band's Part. One winter when the First United States cavalry was stationed in Mon * AW - tana, says tne cnicago kbwb, we uauumaster, went to the commander of the post. General Culver Grover, and reported that the members of the band had been ordered to help cut IceHe said, "Sheneral, they did not enlist us to cut Ice, but to make mooslc." The commanding officer called the adjutant and on his approach said: "Mr. Adjutant, Mr. Schmidt wishes the band excused from ice fatigue. He says they enlisted to make music." Mr. Schmidt, bowing to the commanding officer, said, "Yes, sheneral, to make moosic." The commanding officer then said, ''Mr. Adjutant, the band will be excused from ice fatigue." Mr. Schmidt bowed himself out, saying, "Thank you, sheneral; thank you, sheneral." "But," continued the commanding of fleer as the door closed; "Mr. Adjutant, the band will take post on the bluff overlooking the river and will make music while the rest of the command cut ice." The weather was intensely cold, and as a matter of course, it was impossi Die ior tne piayers iu ma&e a. disuuu, their breath freezing on their instruments. The bandmaster again hurried to the commanding officer and said: "Sheneral, it is impossible to make moosic. The band would rather cut ice." "Very well, Mr. Schmidt, just as you wish," replied the commanding officer, and calling the adjutant, he said, "Mr. Adjutant, the band will cut ice." The Preacher and the Fish?The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, the min, ister-author, has a country house on the Delaware, and is very fond of shad that run up this broad stream in the spring and early summer, says the Washington Star. The fishermen of the neighborhood are aware of Mr. Brady's weakness, and take pains to cater to it. They never fail, on the first spring casting of the seine, to present one of their largest shad to the clergyman. But last spring the first cast was made on a Sunday, and the fishermen hesitated therefore about making Mr. Brady their usual gift. Finally, though they decided to risk it, and one of their number called at the Brady residence with a fine shad. "Mr. Brady," he said, "I took the liberty of bringing you this fish." "Thank you, Tom. Thank you," said the minister, and he relieved the other of the shad. "Only I must tell you,"- said Tom, "that the catch was made on a Sunday,, sir." Mr. Brady frowned. He half extended the shad to the fisherman, then he half drew it back again. "Well Tom," he said at length, "I'll keep it, anyway. What happened was wrong, but surely it was not this poor fish's fault." Letter From Warm Climate.? * " ?--1?11 l* a it*11 ?nVt_ I "SpeaKing' OI puipil jun.eo, a.

Like Father, Like Son.?A Washington man has a bright youngster who succeeded recently in getting even with his father in a very telling, though unconscious manner. His father was reproving the little fellow's table manners. The warning seemed to be lost, for the fault was repeated. "Do you know what a pig is?" was the inquiry, put in a solemn manner. "Yes, sir." "What is it?" "A pig is a hog's little boy." The lessen is ettiquette was suspended. piscrllatmms Reading. FROM CONTEMPORARIES. Newi and Comment That Is of More or Less Local Interest.

Glorlna Uncertainty In the Attitude of People Toward Train Robbers. "It's queer," said a Colorado mining engineer, "but you never can tell how a man is going to act in a train or stage stick-up, or hold-up, as you Junipers back this way call it. "About six years ago I was riding through Southeastern Colorado on a westbound train. There were about twenty-flve or thirty men in the smoker, all pretty comfortable-looking chaps. A dyspeptic looking little man, about 40 years old, with a Bostonese patois, sat in a seat ahead of me and an hour or so after I boarded the train he engaged me in conversation. " 'Belong out this way?' he inquired of me in his Down East drawl. " 'Yep,' said I. " 'Reason I asked you that,' said he, is that I've heard there have been a lot of robberies on the railroads out this way lately. That right?' " 'Pretty close,' said I. " 'Ever And yourself involved in one of those affairs?' he asked me. " 'Couple times,' I told him. " 'Did you let 'em go through you?' | he asked me, with a searching look. " 'Don't you think otherwise for . a [ holy minute,' said I. 'I am my sole remaining support, and, in general, I find life a pretty good game. It's the best I know anything about for sure, anyway.' " 'Well,' said the dyspeptic-looking little man in his piping voice, 'I'd just like to see the loafers get any of my money, that's all! I'd just like to catch them at it!' " 'Why, what would you do?' I asked him, grinning right in his teeth; I couldn't have helped it to save me. " 'Never you mind, sir, what I'd do!' said the little man, chopplly. 'I'd take good care that they didn't get any of |my goods, however! I'd fix em! Yes, siree, the train robber doesn't walk in shoe leather that's going to relieve me of a copper cent, and don't fail to remember that, sir!' "The little man, who, as I afterward ascertained, was on his way to California for his health, looked so puff today and fierce while he was getting off these brave remarks that I couldn't help but laugh in his face. That nettled him a trifle, but I smoothed it over and made a remark or so to him about the general nature and character of stick-ups. " 'My friend,' said I in conclusion, 'the only advice I can give you is this: If any of these chaps ever comes along your way and asks you to call heaven to witness with your two hands pointing to the zenith, just you do the same, that's all, and do it in a hurry; do it a-running; be nice and pleasant about it, and don't get gay. Don't endeavor to frivol any with a man who's got the edge on you with a forty-five leadspitter.' " 'Well, just let one of 'em try it with me, that's all!' exclaimed the little man, and then we changed the subject. "Well, about 9 o'clock that night we pulled up at a little station called Tyrone to give the engine a drink. We only halted there about four minutes, but it was long enough. The train hadn't got more than five miles out of Tyrone before we heard a lot of shots up forward?the smoker was the second car from the engine?and the train came to a halt. "The wheels had scarcely ceased to revolve when the front door of the smoker was thrown open with a bang, and the command rang through the car like the crack of a whip: " 'Everybody put 'em up?quick!' "A tall, raw-boned man, with a straggling red mustache, stood in the door calmly waving his gun from side to side with the characteristic movement of an expert gun-fanner. He looked business all over. "I decided Instantly?I'd put my hands up before I'd done any deciding, however?that he wasn't any amatuer and that he was going to get all that was coming to him. I couldn't help but notice that the dyspeptic-looking little man in front of me threw up his hands with the rest, although be did a little bit of fumbling with his right hand before it went up in the air. i " 'Seein' that my podner's busy keepin' tab out in front,' said the rawboned bandit?he didn't wear any mask, and there was a certain devilish twinkle in his eye as he spoke?'I'll ask you gentlemen to spring what you've got on you with one hand at a time, as I pass along, and I'll do the rest.' "He wore a hickory bag suspended by a string around his neck, in front of him?a bag similar to that worn by carpenters and lathers for holding nails, and he Just reached out his left hand and dropped wallets, watches and loose rolls into the bag as he passed along. None of the passengers had any chance to hold out anything on him, for he was one of the eagle-eyed kind, and he seemed to see all hands in the car at once. "He walked sideways down the aisle, so as to be sure that he wouldn't be plunked from behind after passing along1. He was an artist in his business, all right, was that raw-boned person, and he didn't miss a trick. Every man up forward unquestioningly forked over his belongings to be dropped into that roomy bag. "The dyspeptic-looking little man amused me, with his arms sticking up there as rigid as poles, so that I almost forgot to worry about what I was going to lose when it came my turn. He had become as white as' a sheet, and he looked even. more ghastly as the robber approached him. "Finally, it came his turn. The robber looked him over with a grin. " 'Sorry, my sawed-t)ff chum,' the robber started to say, when puff, the right hand of the dyspeptic-looking little man opened with cat-like rapidity and the robber got a flstfull of red pepper square* in the eyes. He let out a howl, and the little rfian dropped to the floor like a flash. So did I, for that matter. "The robber, yelling like a madman, lowered his gun hand and groped around with it, and half a second later he was butted in the stomach with all the force the little' man from New Eng. - - -* * -a lana naa in ms neaa. mai uuumcu the robbed up, af?d a minute later we were all on top of him at once. " 'You will try to appropriate what doesn't belong to you, hey, doggone you!' shrilled the dyspeptic-looking, little man, standing over the blinded bandit, who was almost insane from pain. We bound him securely, did what we could to alleviate his misery, and put a guard over him. The robber who was sticking up the engineer, hearing the aganized shouts of his pardner, concluded that there was nothing doing, and firing*a few bluff shots, scampered off the tender into the darkness. "We took the raw-boned bandit to Trinidad, where he was tried and as I afterward learned, he got twenty years. And that's one time I got fooled up a head in a stick-up."?New York Sun. The Squirrel Skin Craze.?The story of the sudden rise to popularity of squirrel skin in the world of dress this season is not generaJly known. It was brought about by the ingenuity of a Russian official. For years and years certain Russian peasants in Siberia paid their taxes in squirrel skins. This being an old custom, the czar's government did not care to cause hardship and breed discontent by changing it. But there was little demand for Russian squirrel skins. The whole American trade took only 20,000 skins per annum at the low price of 12 cents each. The skins accumulated in the Russian government warehouses in Siberia. There were millions upon millions of them piled up there. The official in question, knowing that the skins were light in weight, soft and warm, decided, last year, to test the caprice of fashion in respect to them. He went over to Paris, called upon a famous dressmaker and persuaded him to use some of the skins. The idea was a success. Paris set the pace. English society folk took up the iasmon ana iasnionaum Amniuuio brought the squirrel skin craze across the water to this side. The result In this country has been that In 1902 the United States Imported nearly 5,000,000 squirrel skins at about 37 cents each wholesale as against 20,000 at 12 cents each in 1901. The rest of the world was equally liberal. The great demand emptied the Siberian warehouses of Russian squirrel skins at a considerable profitExchange.
