Lika Some Other Epitaphs.

“I was called in by a close-fisted eld merchant the other day,” a Boston lawyer remarked, smiling. “He wanted me to draw his will, and this I proceeded to do, following his verbal Instruction. Presently he said: “ To each and every clerk who has been in my employ for ten years I give |10,000.’ This seemed like a considerable sum to me, and I ventured a slight pretest, aa he had a number of daughters and his entire fortune was not large. “ ‘Oh, that’s all right’ he said, with a little crooked smile. ‘You know people hare always said that I was close and hard, and I want them to think well of me when I’m gone.’ "I was a little touched and said something, but he waved It aside and we continued with the draft When it was finished and as I was about to leave the office, the (rid fellow smiled again his little crooked smile. “‘About those |IO,OOO legacies,’ he said, “there isn’t a clerk in my place who has been with me over two years but It will look well in the papers!’" —Qreen Bag.

He Made Amends.

Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late MtnWnr to Portugal, once picked up In his arms a young lady who stood hesitating at the corner of a street in an Indiana Tillage, unable to cross It, because a shower had filled .. with « rushing torrent of water. The young lady submitted without protest while the Colonel strode gallantly through the torrent until hs deposited his fair charge bn the opposite sidewalk, with dry feet. "Sir!" she then said, indignantly, “are you aware that you have insulted me?" **l was not aware of It,” replied the Colonel! "but, seeing that you are light, I beg to make amends.” So saying, he picked up the protesting damsel and reetored her to the point where he had first made her acquaintance. —Cleveland Leader.

Banishment in Italy.

Italy retains a special torn of ban* idhment Introduced under the Roman emperors known as ooerced domicile. This piuUnhment corresponds to the Roman deportation to an Island, and like it consists in criminals being confined to an Island for a definite time and enjoying within its limits personal freedom.

FOR CAMELIA ANN’S SAKE

“Ah'm gwtna to stay. Befoh mah mammy died ah promised to look arter Mias Fay, an' ah won't go away. Ah don't want no pay—ah*m Jest a gwlne to stay," and faithful Camelia , Ann stalked majestically from the room, leaving the dignified Colonel Belroee to recover bis oompoaure as best he could. Belroee Manor was one of the many Virginian estates that had been ruined by the war. When the colonel returned from his regiment to the arms of hie young wife he found his slaves gone, the only servant left being the faithful negro nurse of his wife. Ten years afterwards the colonel's wife died, leaving him with a baby daughter, Fay. Later on the faithful muse died and to her daughter, Ca mella .Ann, she confided the care oi Miss Fay. After the death of hi* wife the eotonel became very reserved and Withdrew from all association with his neighbors. The place wm steadily going t* ruin and the only occupants of th« mansion were the dignified colonel Miss Fay, now 20 years of age, and the faithful Camelia Ann. Their onlj money wm a small Income from property in Boston, left to Miss Faj by her mother. This had been Intel] decreasing and the colonel felt it hli duty to tell Camelia Ann that Bhe had better go, but she Insisted on staying with her young mistress. Shortly after this time a letter was received by Colonel Belroee from • Robert Green, whose father had charge of the Boston property, saying that he was traveling in the Smith and would be glad to call on him to talk over the advisability of making changes in the investments. A few days later he arrived with his colored vale', and was made weloome, although in a reserved and distant manner. His courteous ways soon won the heart of the colonel and a cordial and pressing invitation was extended to him to make his stop a longer one, and for the next two weeks he was at the side of Miss Fay as often as possible. He soon asked permission of the colonel to endeavor to win the love of his daughter, and this concession to the colonel's dignity won his consent With the daughter it was different as she skilfully evaded any conversation that threatened to become confidential, until Mr. Qreen felt that he would be compelled to go away without having an opportunity to express his love In words. His time at Belroee was drawing to a dose and they were sitting on the veranda in the early evening when they overheard James, Mr. Green's servant, begging Camelia Ann to marry him. To his earnest pleadings her only answer was a burst of tears. In reply to his further entreaties die sobblngly said,, "Honey, ah does lob yer, but ah can’t le&be Miss Fay.** Finding his urging of s no avail, James walked sorrowfully away, leaving the weeping Camelia at the kitchen door. Fay’s eyes were filled with tears and Robert saw that the auspicious moment had come at last Leaning tenderly over her, he said, “Fay, I have loved you ever since I first saw your sweet face, and life will be bare for me without you. Can you not return my love and let us all live together here at beautiful Belrose?" As her soft band fluttered tenderly In his he felt that his cause was won, and he ventured to add, "It will make Camelia Ann happy." “Is that all?" he pleadingly beg ged, and a soft voice whispered, “And for my own happiness." James was still standing under th* trees when he heard the call oi “James.” “Tas, sir. Coming, sir,” and In ■ moment “he was standing in front oi the couple. “James," continued Mr. Green. “Miss Fay has promised to marry mq and we are going to remodel Belroes and make our home here. If yo« would like to live here I could keel you as my valet We chanced to overhear your talk with Camelia Ann, and If you wish you can go and tell het that If she will look after you I will undertake to take care of Miss Fay." The look of Joy on James’ face was unmistakable and he hastily turned and strode towards the sorrowful form at the kitchen door, and as he walked away there floated back through the dusk the happy words, "Tas, sir, I*s a going, star."—EMMA LIB BEY.

Hypnotized Witnesses.

The medico-legal relations involved by the practice of hypnotism have several times been discussed in the courts of the United States of America. Quite recently in the case The State vs. Locum, it has been decided that the statement by a witness on cross-examination that she had been thrice hypnotized by the prisoner is admissible as affecting the credibility of her evidence. What counsel sought to prove was that she was then and there the subject of a post-hypnotic suggestion. It is admitted that proof of such a mental condition must be very difficult for, the judge, whose function it is to decide the competency of a witness, would have to consider many pertinent facts. Once, however, the state of post-hypnotic suggestion Is established, there can be little doubt that a witness so obessed should be ruled unable to' testify on behalf of the party responsible for that condition. It must he remembered that possible actions of the victims of suggestlonp a longue echeance are still hotly debated in the. French schools of hypnotism; at the Salpetriere they hold that the educated moral sense is not annulled by a criminal suggestion; at Nancy they have several practical, if reprehensible, illustrations that when hypnotized the mind does hot revolt at a suggestion which leads practically to the performance of a misdemeanor or a crime.—London Lancet

Fold Stair Device.

An ingenious invention that is a great space saver is the folding stair designed by a Kansas man. As will be seen in the illustration, this stair works on the lazy-tong principle and is drawn up or extended at will by

means of gears. By turning the crank that operates the gear, however, the stair is extended, pushes its way through the spring doors and comes down to the floor below, where It rests on rollers. With the hand rail for a support (me may then it in safety. The device is rather hard on *book agents and bill collectors. — Philadelphia Record.

A Duel With Davy Jones

Some years ago Davy Jones was in Liverpool on business, says “J. M.,” In the Manchester Guardian. Davy used to spend most of his time in Simpson’'-, on the Land’ng-stage, looking out over the river at the ships. The Conway boys , used to come there twice a week for Eccles cakes and buns, and Davy Jones was always pleased to see them. He used to listen to their talk and to laugh at the jokes they made, and when any very great boy came there, with a wisdom beyond his years and a promise beyond his years and a promise of future greatness, he would talk kindly to him. “You and I,” he would say, “will be better acquainted by and by.” He liked to see the boys, they were so fresh and merry. It always went to his heart when he heard that So-and-so, the handsome one, or So-and-so, the brave one, was about to sail. “You are safe here,” he would tell them. “Out there you will not be so safe. It Is a hungry thing, the sea—a hungry, hungry, hungry thing.” They would laugh at this, because they were glad, to be leaving school, and he would laugh back. “You and I,” he would say, a wlll be better acquainted by and by. By and by we shall be better acquainted.” One evening as he sat there at tea, Bill Harker entered. Davy Jones had had his eye on Bill for some years, and knew him. It was Very shocking to Davy Jones to see that the young man was crying, though he made brave attempts to chaff the waitress and to nick an extra rock cake as soon as her back was turned. “Harker,” he said kindly, “come and sit down, boy. What’s the trouble?” -“She’s married,” said Harker, between his sobs. “She’s married.” “Ah,” said Davy Jones, “and you were in love with her yourself?” “I love her, I love her," said Bill Harker; “I always loved her. And I threw her over, man, because she told me the truth about myself.’’ “Truth Is a rare gift, Harker,” said Davy Jones. “Ah! she is beautiful. She Is beautiful. She IS not like me,” said Bill. “Beauty is a great gift; Harker," said Davy Jones. “And she has married old Hawk of Ere,” said Bill, “and 1 threw her over. And she’ll be In hell till she dies. And I shall love her forever. Forever.” “Love Is a sweet flame, Harker,” said Davy Jones. “Truth and Beauty and Love together, Harker, are not things to throw in the dirt.” "She is going abroad,” said Harker. "They are poor, and they are going abroad.’” “Ah!” said Davy Jones. "In what ship, now?" "That is the curse of It," said Harker. “They are poor. And they are going in the old Glasgerlon, the rottenest old hulk that ever was overinsured. She will never fetch to St. Mary’s. She’ll go down in the bay like a stone. And I shall have killed her.” “We all kill our loves, Harker,” said Davy Jones. “And so she’s going In the old Glasgerlon. I know the Glasgerlon. Harker,” said Davy Jones at last, "the Glasgerlon will never fetch to St Mary’s." “Never,” said Harker; “she’s a doomed ship. I dream in the night that I saw her. And the sea was all crawling across her'deck. Her deck was all fiery with it There were weeds In my love’s hair,” he added; “the gulls of the sea were crying at her beauty." “Ah,” said Davy Jones. “And now you have killed her. "Harker,” he added, after a time, “you say you love her. Do you love her very much?" "More than my life,” said Harker. "I would die for that woman.” “Even now she’s married, Harker?” “Yes, even now, even now.” “Suppose now," said Davy Jones, “that she could be happy with Hawk. Would you die, so that they could live and be happy?” “I would die,” said Harker. “Life is a little thing to give for a woman like her.” “So you would give your life for theirs, Harker?" said Davy Jones. “I would,” he answered. They were quiet after that, till Davy Jones got up to go. "Harker,” he said, sadly, "sometimes life is very bitter. Thoee who don't know me call me a hard man; but I am not hard. You said you would die for those two. When do you sail?” "To-morrow, by the morning tide,” said Harker: "the Glasgerlon sails the same time." “So yon would die for them, Harker?" said Davy Jones. “So be it I think you would die hard, Harker, from all I have seen of you. It Is ooftd In the sea,” he added softly, "but the babbles are bright, and the multitude of the drowned Is past counting.” "I am certainly tough to kill,” said Harker. ”1 served my time on the coast I shs’n’t shame my breeding when the call comes.” When Davy Jones had gone, Harker looked at the old Glaagerion as she lay at her buoy In the river, with her ports all lighted like a ballroom. The next morning, as the Glasgerlon dropped down stream, she passed the Corunna bask, towing out wRh a Cock tug ahead of her. They wane bending safle In the porunna, and-the young man on the fore-roral yard watched the Glaagerion narrowly aa she thrashed past, sounding her siren. “I would die tor her,” he said; "Ufo is little thing to give for a woman like her.” Four or five weeks passed before Davy Jones made any sign. The old Glasgerlon arrived at St Mary's, greatly to her owner's disgust, and she was there condemned as unseaworthy. The Corunna beat slowly to tha westward against trash vasteriy gains, hot she was aft Aoeomae before It cam# on to blow. Than Y Warned up with a rearing paatfra

'\ ' V ocean ftnyt, wad fire sea became Irongray and grtoa, and the wind whipped the tops from the seas and flung them over the Corunna’s bows as high as the foreyard. For three days the gale blow, and never once did they see the sun. It came down in a long screaming howl day after day. On the third day the sky cleared a little, so that the forlorn crowd clustered on the Corunna’s poop could see Hog Island,. on the lee beam, distant some two miles. *1 will let them have time to prepare,” said Davy Jones. The old man stood beside Bill Harker, under the weather-cloth, hanging on to a shroud. He looked at the sprays flying high over the rocks, and glanced at the young man beside him. “We’re done, boy,” he said; “she’d never stay.” “There’s room to wear, sir,” said -Harker. “Not there,” said the old man. “You’re old; that’s what’s wrong with you,” said Bill. He made a lump for the wheel. “Hard up,” he shouted. “Hard up. Hands wear ship.” The men ran to the weather braces; the helmsman hove the wheel over. “No, you don’t,” said Davy Jones. He' sent a green sea against the Corunna’s rudder. The shock made the wheel take charge. The helmsman went over the box into the scuppers. “I think that’s done yoi,” said Davy Jones. Bill flung a bight of the relieving tacklefall over the flying spokes. At the risk of his life he checked . that wheeL “That was a near thing,”' he thought. The ship took in a green sea along her length. Very slowly she began to pay off. “No, you don’t,” said Davy Jones. The full fury of the gale beat upon them in a screaming gust The two lower topsails split into rags and flickered away to leeward like dirty paper.” , “That’s done you,” said Davy Jones. The sprays boiled high close aboard, as the Corunna charged down, bows jmu “You shall do it in style,” said Davy Jones. “You have the gift of beauty. You Bball die finely.” A sea took her over the poop and washed Bill Harker forward. Wheel, charthouse, deckhouse, fo’c’sle, and calaboose vanished Into splinters before that sea. The old Corunna lay on her side, and broached to. The drowning men in the waist thought of the laughter of the*oaptalns. They clutched at brace-ends and buckets; they struggled up and swore. Bill Harker found himself inside the pigsty. “I was always fond of pork,” he said. “But this is like mother on a wash-ing-day.” He saw the rocks and the white water; he thought of the old Glasgerlon and flushed with the thought of the woman’s beauty. “You’re done,” said Davy Jones. Bill swung himself Into the foreshrouds and spread his coat abroad. “It’s a bare chance,” he said, “but I’ll go down fighting.” The old man, lying on his back In the scupperß, uttered a choking cheer between the seas. The Corunna rose up and shook herself; she felt the new force; she wallowed up and trembled. Bill’s coat Bpllt down the seam; and the ship wore like a child. Very tenderly and quickly they Bet the stormstayßails, and drew away from the land. “You deserve tc live,” said Davy Jones. “You shall be my wedding present to Mrs. Hawk.”

Which is Ed?

When the late Senator Wolcott first went to Colorado he and his brother opened a law office at Idaho Springs under the firm name of “Ed. Wolcott A Bro.” Later the partnership was dissolved. The future Senator packed his few assets, Including the sign that had hung ontslde of his office, upon a burro and started for Georgetown, a mining town farther up in the hills. Upon his arrival he was greeted by a crowd of miners who critically surveyed him and his outfit One of them looking first at tfcfe sign that hung ovor the pack, then at Wolcott, and finally at the donkey,, ventured: “Say, stranger, which of you is Ed?”

Great Chance of Marriage.

It Is estimated that the women of Great Britain have nearly twice aa many chances of being married as the women of any other nation in Europe. This is one of the facts shown in the annual statistical abstract from fUe principal nations of the world, issued, by the English Board of Trade recently. The period covered by the figures is from 189 Sto 1908. In eaefa of these ten years there have been fourteen or sixteen marriages per thousand of the population of Great Britain, while in other countries the rate has remained steady at between seven and eight per thousand,

Roman Mint Found.

A completely equipped Roman mint was discovered in a cave in the neighborhood of Kayosovar, Hungary. Besides crucibles, which still contained bronze, there were three dies for the production of gold coins, diss of sliver, bronze and Iron ore and three hundred coins The investigation made showed that the workshop doted from the first century of the Ghrtetian era. A number of neatly worked earrings, bracelets and other objecta of bronze, aa well as tools, such as hammers and tongs, were also found.
