EN HE TIED TH KNOT medy as Wellias Tragedy Is Eternal All Over the World-Story of the Justice of the Peace-All Ends Well. There Is always something to see, to hear, or to learn, wherever you go. The eternal tragedy, the eternal coi edy, go all over the world. Yesterday Art showed me a farmhouse, where a few months ago a discontented soul killed his wife and himself, shooting his wife while she held a three months'-old baby in hor arms. "We were going to lynch him thon," said Art artlessly, "but as I rode through the edge of the wood back of the house I saw him lying there looking at us. ie was dead. lIe had shot himself three times. Nervy, wasn't lie?" Again, as we rode on, he showed me a little house by the roadside. "Old woman lives there, eighty-five years old," said he. "The town keeps her. Her husband died a while ago, and she can't run the farm. She used to be an English noblewoman years ago, and she ran away with the coachman and came to America. They lived here a long while. I guess she was an Eng lisli noblewoman all right, too, for once in a while she comes down to town and gets a. pint of alcohol, and she drinks it straight, and never bats, an eye." But, as I was going to say, I saw an odd-looking fly in Art's collection, a combination of squirrel hackle and apparently quill and silk body. Art said that fly was a very good one, very hard to wear out and very use ful on the local streams. "The follow that makes them lives here," said he. "Ills name's Hubbell. He's the Jus tice of the Peace." I somehow liked the sound of Hubbell, J. P., and pres ently looked into the matter. The room of It. W. Hubbell, Justice of the Peace, is more angling shop than jus tice shop, and here I learned how these very killing local Ries are made, having a long talk over these and kindred subjects. "I find that early in the spring this white silk grub I tie, with a bit of worn on the end, will kill trout be fore they will rise to the fly. My first fly is the black gnat-but you see I tie It different from any black gnat you ever saw. The next is what I call my Morning Belle, squirrel hackle and green body, and so. Then I make a mosquito, with gray body, and here's a grasshopper with yellow and brown body and gray squirrel hackles-I never use any feathers in any of my fly-tying. I'm proud of my grasshop pers. You don't have to chase 'em, and they don't come off. They're bet ter than the real th!ing. "Tishing?" sa% i the justice, tiping back judiciously. "WVell, it's more im portant than anything else, some times if not all the time. But there's some folks who don't seem to under stand that. Now, not long ago I had a young fellow and a girl up before me. They'd been engaged, but had a falling out, and I guess the fellow was going to leave the girl because she changed her mind. I knew the pickerel were biting out here in the mill pond, and it was time to be out, so 1 heard the case fast as I could, fined the young fellow, sent 'em all out, and went fishing. In less'n n' hour I heard some one holler in', and saw a fellow motioning, over the bank. It was the town marshal. I didn't pay any attention to him, for I didn't want to be disturbed, but bimeby he motioned so hard 1 started over towards him. and just as I did I got a bite, and hooked a big pickerel. At last I heard what the town marshal wanted. 'Say!' says he, 'them folks wants to git married!' *" 'Well, why don't they, then?" says I. "'But they want you to do it,' says lhe. Wouldn't that cramp you? Here I'd just fined him, and now I ivas busy. "'There ain't no hurry about that,' said T. I thought maybe she'd change her mind again. All this time that pickerel was just chargin' round, and I had all I could do to keep him out of the weed~s.' "'They can't wait!' hollers the town marshal. That made me mad, Couldn't wait! Ihere I'd just fined the mani 'You go on back an' tell 'em they got to wait!' says I to the town marshal. 'I'm busy, and I allow it's a sight more important for mae to get this pickerel 'a it is for them to get married,' So I went right on and played my fish, and at last I got him in the boat. He was a beauty. Then I went on in and married 'em, buit not before. I want to tell you. Some folks are just natur ally unreasonable," -- Forest and Stream, Editorial Modesty.

According to the chroniclers, Sena tor Reed Smoot is not much of a politician, nor yet a Daniel Webster when it comes to oratory. lie was assigned by his lRepublican' Central Committee, therefore~, to deliver his maiden effort before the foreigners in a southern Utah village. Ilis advent had been widely heralded, and the hall in which the meeting was to be held was crowded with swarthy Swed ish farmers when Mr. Smoot turned on his eloquence. The applause was not all that he had expected. Only one person, an old man on the front row, seemed ex coptionally interested. lie applauded wildly, laughed at all the speaker's jokes ar ' manifested every sign of excited appreciation. After Mr. Smoot had finished, his enthusiastic auditor arose to - speak Feeling grateful the Senator deter mined to show hilt; appreciation in like manner. The old man's remarks were entirely in Swedish, which was, to Mr. Smooth, denser than Greek, but not to be outdone, Mr. Smooth, fol lowed the inflections of the speaker's voice and whenever he thought a cliiax was reached led the applause wildly. "I cheered and stamped on the floor in a most undignified manner,' said Mr. Smoot, in. relating the story, "and I was at a loss to understand the curious looks centred upon me. Finally, a man sitting behind leaned foi vard and inquired if I understood the speaker. "'Not a word,' I confessed, 'but it's a good speech, Isn't it?' 'Well,' lie replied, 'you may be in terested to know that lie's translating your speech. None of these people understand English.'" A Terrible Tiger Fight. A desperate encounter with a tiger, resulting in the death of Mr. C. A. I'elham Rogers, Assistant Commis sioner of Chanda (India), is recorded in the Pioneer of India. Mr. Rogers was out after a tiger at a place called llomnragarh. on April 22, and wounded the animal, hitting it in the forefoot. The next day Mr. Rogers had an at tack of fever and could not go out; but on the 24th he took up the pur suit, and his men having ascertained exactly where the tiger was lying, he boldly proceeded to walk it up. The tiger charged him suddenly, but lie managed to get in two shots, breaking one or both of the beast's jaws. It seized him, neverthe!ess, and a pro tracted struggle ensued; the disabled tiger, with its jaw and one paw shat tered, being deprived of its most formidable powers of mischief. Mean while, Mr. Rogers's "syce," who had accompanied his master with a spare 12-bore gun, and solid bullets, opened fire on the tiger, and after ten or twelve shots sncceeded in dispatching it. Unfortunately one of these lilt the sportsman, inflicting a severe flesh wound in the thigh. When delivereod from the tiger Mr. Itogers was found to have austained a terrible clawing, scar(cely a p~art of his body hav'ing es calped. ie was almost scalped, and his right arm especially was badly torn. Nevertheless, he retained con uciousness, and after a long and dis tressing journey of 120 miles, was conveyed to Chanda, wher-e lie died from exhaustion six days after the accident. Character In Necks. Wise persons are alwvaye discovering some occult kep to feminine charac ter-. Tests applied to the shape, tex tiure and color of a woman's handr, of her feet, of her eyes and of her hair, show virtues and shortcomings in nor nature. The woman with the swan like neck is said to be a creature whose mentality, to use a modern in venition in words, domInates her ex istence. Physically delicate, time long necked wvoman is mentally much alert. but sensitive to an extraordinary de gree. She is timid and suspicious, yet, wher-e her trust is betrayed, beai-s her woe in silence without a sign. The throat that denotes obstinacy is short and thick and usually belongs to the girl with athletic shoulders and not many inches in stature. Thme gir-l with anatomical traits of this sort is extremely good-natured, though she obtains her own way by persistence. She is also notedl for her executive ability, and on this account does not mind mounting platforms em- organiz ing societies that will help her sex a step forward on tihe road to complete emancipation.--Chicago Tribune. Brief and from the Heart. Little Alice always said her prayers 'egularhy before going to bed. One night, however, as she rested her head on the pillow, she remarked, in a questioning way: "Mamma, my prayers are so muich longer than the one nurse says in the morning. Can't I say hers when I'm tired?'" "Does the nurse pray in the morn ing?" asked the mother, with a puz zled look. "Yes," said Alice sweetly, "She says, 'Lord, have I got to get up?'" Two-year-old Willie, who takes a ride every evening upon his father's shioulder's, .is always demanding a change of scenery, andl thus keeps the old man wondering where under the sun he'll go next, Diamonds were first ibrought from the East where the mine of Sumbul pour was the first known, and Where thme mines of Glolconda were first dis covered in the year 15i84, those of Brasil in 1728.
