"Didn't you hear of the lawsuit over a title that 1 had with Jones down in Malone last summer?" asked Paul. The friend had not heard. "Well." said Paul, "it was this way: I sat in the court room before the cnse opened with my witnesses around me. Jones bustled in, stopped, looked my witnesses over carefully, and said: 'Then you win,' said he. 'I've had them witnesses twice myself.' " \ Took Care of It. Z mmmmmmmmmtmrn Two Scotchmen had been having a good time on the heather downs of a leetle island and were rowing back home across the firth, says Dean Mortimer Cooley, of the University of Michigan, when the boat capsized. Dean Cooley told the story to the Engineer's club a few days ago. Angus had clung to the boat and Jock, who had clung to the bottle, was foundering bravely in the deep. Although a poor swimmer, he struck * f K/\Min<r tha hnttlo Kill IU1 II1C OIMU, UUIU'U^ V"V uvv?v in one hand. After a few strokes he became exhausted. "Angus," he cried. " I dinna thenk I can mak' it." "Well, if ye canna mak' it. Jock, throw it," called back Angus. Shook it Well. There was a terrible noise coming from the direction of the dining room and the fond mother, alarmed, rushed in. On the floor her son, aged ten, was going through all manner of contortions?somersaults, both backward and forward. Bang, bang, he went. "Willie! Willie!" she cried. "What are you doing? You'll?" For a moment Willie paused in his ?vmn3Rtirs. "Oh. it's all risrht, moth er!" he gasped. "You see. I forgot to shake my medicine before taking it?like you always told me to do. So I thought I'd shake myself up as the medicine was inside me." He Saw the (Jovernor. The following story which is going round Washington points a moral too obvious for comment, says the New York Evening Post. A mar with a very important air recently got on board a western train, seated himself beside a quiet, unobtrusive stranger, and began a conversation. "I'm on my way to the capital," said the important one, "to get a pardon for a convicted thief. 1 am not acquainted with the governoi personally, but he will have to lis ?

His friends have promisee me $500 if I get him out and it's e pretty cold day when my line of talt runs out. Where are you traveling?' "I'm going to the capital too.'" "Do you live there?" "Yee " "Perhaps you could help me. Maj I inquire what business you are in?' "I'm the governor." | THAW WINS AXOTHKII VICTORY. Federal Judge (irants Petition for Habeas Corpus. Concord, X. H.. April 14. ? Harry : Kendall Thaw's petition for a writ of - habeas corpus was granted by Judge L Edgar Aldrich, of the Cnited States - District court to-day. The court said. however, that no order would be is: sued for the prisoner's discharge ' from custodv until arrangements had been completed to take the case tc the United States Supreme Court on appeal. Thaw's petition for admission tc , bail the court left undertermined, taking the ground that it would be more appropriate for this to be pass. ed upon by the Supreme Court. The result of the decision is that Thaw's guardianship and condition ' will be unchanged for the present, [ but that his petition for a writ of habeas corpus will go to the highest ? court in the land, with a decision of [ the lower court in his favor. The decision discusses exhaustive ly the various phases of the case pre| sented in the United States court, [ concluding: Insanity and Extradition. ' "My conclusion is that constitu. tional right of tradition for crime - does not reasonably apply to such a situation as this, where the right ol control by the demanding States re> sides in a degree of custody based on insanity, and where its papers upon their face negative the idea of per? sonal criminal responsibility. It is further thought that it would involve forced or fictional reasoning to make a flight of the character of the one in question the kind of a flight contemplated by the constitution as a basis for extradition. "It results that an order will be made sustaining the writ and thai the petitioner be discharged from the extradition process under which he was held at the time his condition foi habeas corpus was brought upon constitutional grounds. "It has been understood from the beginning that, whichever way this case was decided b: lie, it would be , taken to the Supreme Court. Therefore, no formal order will be made either sustaining the writ or discharging the prisoner until the aggrieved party has had an opportuni ty to perfect its appeal." Escaped Last December. When Thaw entered New Hamp shire last September after deportation from Canada he was arrested His attorneys petitioned foF a wril of habeas corpus, this acting as a stay to extradition granted by Gover' nor Felker. Later Thaw applied for bail on the grounds that conspiracy to escape from Matteawan, the alleged offence on which extradition proceedings were based, was bailable. Counsel for New York State opposed the mo tion, alleging Thaw's mental condition would make his freedom a menace. Reciting facts as to Thaw's petition for bail and the report of the commission upon his mental condition, the court says: "I have no doubt of the right ol the court to grant bail under the circumstances of this case, but as the question is an interlocutory one, oi which the petitioner has the right tc avail himself at any time and at any stage of the proceedings, and as the case is about to gc out of the control of this court and into the Supreme Court, and as Supreme Court Rule 34 has an important and, perhaps a controllable bearing upon the question, I am disposed to leave the motion for bail undetermined without prejudice." Thinks Thaw Not Dangerous. The court says the report of the commission, supplemented by his own r?hc;prvation at the several hearings, satisfied him that any supposed danger to the community through Thaw's liberty was so remote as not to warrant his being deprived of bail upon that ground. "I am not at all certain that I am not denying a plain right and doing the petitioner an injustice by leaving this question undecided," he says. Thaw's case the court finds to be 1 that of a person sought to be extrai dited under the constitution because l he had fled from guardianship cusr tody based upon the verdict of a jurv that he'was insane. "The case is a novel one," com ments the court, "and requires the utmost caution as the power of ex tradition is exceptional and extremet lv arbitrary and because it impose* ' itself upon personal liberty and be cause heretofore neither in this counI try nor in England has extradition power been invoked for the return 1 ' - ? ? cf-nrlv has:.

ORIGIN OF NAMES SOUTH CAF i 'English Settlers Transferee New Country.?The 1 Many, Especially I ' The story of the naming of the ] 1 cities, rivers and other physical feat- ! pie ures of South Carolina abounds with j "n 1 romantic interest.

HOW UNCLE SAM PAYS, a borate System Used in Distribut J ing Money to Government Clerks. 3 Uncle Sam has 36,289 employees his -pay roll in the District of Conbia. He pays them on the 16th d the last day of every month, his nual pay roll totalling $41,139,3, according to the Washington st. Government pay days in Washingl are important dates, both to the ployees and to the merchants and lers among whom the pay is disbuted. Uncle Sam's paymaster in each dertment is known as the disbursing rk or officer. This person is always pular. When the disbursing clerk ?ins preparation to "pay off," the >t thing he does is to draw a check ' the amount needed and takes it the treasury department to have it >hed. The check is honored because has been previously arranged for what is termed an accountable rrant drawn and signed by the -j id of the department. Such war- i its are issued as they are needed the secretary or head of each de- J rtment. If the department is large, and st of Uncle Sam's departments in i district are, the disbursing clerk j usually accompanied by an assistt on his trip for the pay money. .. th are equipped with stout bags 1 carry the money and are always ^ 11 armed. When the disbursing clerk has prored the money, the next thing is to t in readiness for pay day. This the biggest end of the work, but a tie machine called the addressoiph is now used in most all the dertments to lighten the task. In the tting-ready process the first thing ; disbursing clerk does is to count ; money very carefully. This parular counting, by the way, is only e of the great number of countings which the money used in paying Uncle Sam's District employees is ejected. It is estimated, including ? counts from the time the money Cl ues from the bureau of engraving d printing to the time its circula- n broadens into the vast pay-day mnel, that it is gone over on an srage of 100 times. The addressograph prepares the 0 velopes, and after the disbursing t rk has counted the money, he and ; assistants place the required ? lount in each envelope.
