\ Simple Method.

[Copyright, Iiws, by American Press Assoelation. J I am a judge on the bench, one morning when 1 was disposing of a nuinher of cases, any one of which would make a relined and tender heart j bleed, ^ s a\v a young couple, evidcuily rl ill in their teens, come into the court room. Both looked sullen, and the girl wife especially wretched. Both were poorly clad, a consequence, 1 judged, of difficulties bet ween them. The young husband gave every evidence of being able to make a living | for himself and bis wife except for some especial obstacle. The wife had a sweet face and was very pretty. \\ Idle sitting on tin* seat of judgment, sending hardened criminals to their punishment, 1 kept my eye on this couple. Experience told me that one bad come to make some complaint of the other’s treatment; but, familiar as 1 was with real guilt. 1 knew that it did not belong to either. When 1 had disposed of the bulk of my cases I called the couple before me and with out inviting either to state the iiitli culty between tlieni 1 asked; “How long have you two been married V” “Just one year today,” replied the girl sadly. “And this Is the anniversary of your wedding day. You come here witli what you consider a trouble. I*o you know that you have no trouble?” There was no reply to ibis. But It stood mutely belying my statement by the misery of their appearance and the expression on their faces. “Mow old are you?” 1 asked the bus hand. “Nineteen, your honor.” “And you?” of the girl. “Seventeen.” What should I do with lids boy and girl to turn their antagonism Into forgiveness and affection? Suddenly It came to me ns an Inspiration from heaven. “Sit down there, side by side, and think pleasant things of each other. Mind, you are not to think anything disagreeable. If such things come lute your heads, drive them out at once and begin again on something affectionate.” They did as I bid them, while I proceeded with the remaining eases to comp before me. I still had my eye on them and found them an interesting study. The husband sat for awhile! with a lowering brow, but lie was evi 1 dently trying to do my bidding, and after awhile 1 noticed that it hud re laxed. The wife apparently found it easier to think pleasantly of him, and presently I saw her steal a glance at him. It was anxious, pleading, loving. His baud was on the seat and partly covered by her skirts. Hers disap peared from view, and I knew that it rested on Ids. I waited a moment to sec if he would withdraw Ills, and when he did not 1 knew that the cast was won. A pleasurable feeling came over my hardened Judicial heart, and, looking from this comparatively innocent pair to creatures into whom only divinity could inject a mite of the good, I wished that I might he endowed with such divine power. I sent one who had Inherited sin and had lived since birth in Its environment to Jail, another to the workhouse, a third 1 dismissed with a warning. Men and women, even children. 1 disposed of mercilessly. Then when I had attended to all I called the young couple before me. “This is the anniversary of your wedding,” 1 said. “You remember how happy you were on that day. You remember,” to the husband, “how pretty she looked. Well, sin 1 Is as pretty today, only senseless bickerings have kept you from work, and sin* h: not so well dressed. And you,” to the wife, “don’t bother him about unimportant tilings, nor Importune him. lint dust trouble off him every day as you dusKyour rooms. It is the wife s part. Now go and celebrate your hi st wedding ninihersary.” They turned away, hut 1 noticed that there was something on the man’s mind. The wife came hack and whis peivd to me; ••He has nutlilug to celebrate with.” I put my baud in my pocket and drew forth some hilts. “This is for the supper.” I said, “and this for tlicater tickets. Have a good time and don’t ever come here again on such an errand.” I As they left me the man had an ' abashed look, while Ids young wife's face was wreathed in sullies. As I looked at them I felt the justice in my charge <o the girl that it was her part to ward trouble from her hits hand. Whatever he felt he had no al.il jly jo show; what she felt was as plain as the sun in heaven. The case, though different from the thousands that came before me and re freshing as it wits, had passed out <d my mind when one day on taking my seat for my day’s work 1 saw mi my desk a cheap glass vase containing a bunch of ordinary flowers. Before It rested a card on which was written: “Erom the garden of our happy homo. Second wedding anniversary of Jobs and Mary Hilton.” Having no remembrance of John and Mary Hilton, 1 gazed at the plebeian gift puzzled. Looking nil, 1 saw at the farther end of the courtroom a girl waving a handkerchief and smiling. Tier face was familiar, and I know she was bent on attracting my attention Then It came over me that she was one of the couple I had by my simple ex pedlent saved from a marital sepnra Bon and I! < consequent miseries. Once a year I find flowers on my desk, and mice a year I am buoyed n endure the melancholy work which Providence has assigned me. EDMOND COMPTON.

ft. Lieutenant governors had come t.

toward literature. He plays and booklets that. In

Ion. possessed rare merit. So It seemed lilting to him that great literary men should fraternize, and he sent an Invitation to Voltaire to be his guest. Accompanying the Invitation was a sum of money to defray the great Ereiichinaii's traveling expenses

to the Prussian capital.

Let It he explained at this point that Frederick was extremely penurious and that Voltaire was not only extravagant, but laid tnnuy of the characteristics of what we would now call a grafter. It should also be understood that Frederick despised grafting. and Voltaire abhorred miserli-

ness.

Voltaire accepted the invitation and then had an afterthought. Why not take a favorite niece with him? So lie wrote to the king that if lie would send an extra thousand louis he would bring the girl “Sir.” replied the king, “1 did not ask the young lady to do me the honor of visiiiiiL' me. and 1 shall send nothing to pay her expenses.” "The old miser!” said Voltaire to a friend. “He has tubs of money In his treasury, yet will not grant me this wish.” Howe, cr. Voltaire w cut to Berlin, but each found that he hated the other too tmn li t<> make their friendship perma-

nent.

The king once gave Voltaire a pack age of poems to revise. "See." said Voltaire to a tiennan nobleman. “what a quantity of dirty linen Frederick has sent me to wash!” The king thought Ids guest was too free with the chocolate and sugar and gave orders that he be put on a restricted daily allowance. Yoltalr" iviaH.'ited by gathering all tile wax candles lie could liud ill the lialis and storing them in Ids trunk. Soon the royal palace liecaine too hot for Mm, and In* began to pack up.

But the king thought di . rcutly, being the author Of tin* poems. So (lie i nis-inn moiiarcli had Voltaire (tiro, a into jail at Frankfort and kept him locked up for twelve days Sixteen hundred dollars that was found in his pocket was taken away from him. The king In the days of their friendship had given Voltaire a life pen-don of $.'l,20t* a year, and the money that was confiscated was a semiannual Installment. Tims ended their friendship. Scrap

Spanish Nicknames. One of the peculiar ways hi which Spanish differs from English is In the names the language gives to all people with a certain tutlrmity or peculiarity. A hlind man Is referred to as el clego, a man with but one eye Is a tuorto, a pug nosed man is chato, one who Is cross eyed Is a hlsojo, a eojo Is a lame man, and a mnuco lias hut one arm. if he is humpbacked, lie is a jorobndo; If baldhcadcd, a calvo, and If Ids hair i very short he is a pclon. The feminine titles for I he same classes are the same, with the exception that they end in "a” w here the masculine terminate w ith “o." These short names are used most commonly. In fact, they are applied as nicknames iu many cases, ami especially among the lower clas-'cs persons are addressed or referred to only hy these names.

A Wedding Present. A widower in Scotland proposed to and was accepted by u widow whose husband had died but a month or two previously. To celebrate the occasion he asked •he widow's daughter what she would like for a present. She wanted noth lug. sho said, hut being pressed to naine something she replied: “Well, if you want to spend siller you might put up a beldstoue to my father " Loudon Telegraph.

The Ruling Passion. "John! John!" called the excited lit tie wife. “W what is It, Lucy?" muttered the big baseball player ns be drowsily turned over hi bed. "Why. there Is a man downstairs.’ "W what's he doing?” “He's In the dining room after the plate." "Trying to reach the plate? 1’ut him out, Kelly; put him out at third!” Kansas City Independent.

Reproved. “I suppose,” said the sad eyed youth at the musical, “you know the difference between bel canto and colora-

tura?"

“Young man," answered Mr. Cuuirox severely. "I never bet on race horses.” Washington Star.

Practical.

“Darling. I mean to prove my love for you not by words, hut by deeds.” "Oh. tic, rge. did you bring the deeds with you'.'" Baltimore American.

Is* presidents. The senator nodded hi; head ia (In* affirmative, hut did not rise to the bait. The old w heel horse hinted at the Ihiiiiifial obligations the ring would he under if a certain new senator went "straight." and Hardman opened the door and held it open until tlio other had passed out. The ring employed a bureau to hunt up Hardmans record, and there was gnashing of teeth when the report came hack that all was clear. There was not even the robbery of a henroost in his boyhood days ou which to found a charge against him. He had once been engaged to he married, and It was whispered that the girl had learned something against Ids chnracter and broken the engagement. A detective was sent west to hunt up the female and offer her a thousand dollars to expose the senator, hut the officer was too late. She had married a butcher two weeks before he found her, aud the husband threw the sleuth out. A female lobbyist tried to throw her charms about the senator, and a pitfall was nicely arranged, hut he glided over it and escaped It was at length realized Unit the battle must he fought out knee to knee, and the ting girded up lls loins for tlie combat. Hardman was hunting up facts and statistics for a tolling speech against rings and grafters. Ho worked quietly, hut faithfully, and lie linnlly gathered such a mass of evidence iii favor of the stand that tie had taken from the first that Ids cue lilies hcraiuc alarmed and desperate. When the senator's notes were at last completed lie put them in the form of a spec 'i. and the copy was given to a female typist to le transposed into print. There was no fear of trickery in that. It did not seem to Hardman that a young woman who was seeking to support n widowed mother coiffd prove recreant to her trust Nevertheless in the last two hours the manuscript was left with tier she sold him out for money and turned everything over to the enemy. The ring shouted in glee. He w as hulked. The statistics that had been dug up out of the past would never see daylight. The senator’s facts and tigurcs and denunciations had van Ished Into tldn air The speech that was to he the effort of Ids life would remain undelivered He hud promised much, hut lie would In* unable to de liver the goods and Ids downfall would follow. Hardman could not go over the ground again. The ring had made that impossible. Without his statistics Ids specdi would not amount to more than general deiiiiucialiou. No trust or cor poration cared for that. They hud I,ecu denounced for years and years, and yet their dividends were growing all the time A few hundred dollars hud bought the honesty of a trusted girl amt drawn (lie sting of uu honest senator, and the ting spoke of it as an In terpositlon of Providence. Three days more and had all gone well the senator would have been ready to open his hatteries. Ho sat in Ids room of an evening with Ids bead on Ids hand and knew Hint he was a beaten and vanquished man. He had promised much, aud lie could do nothing. At Hie end of Ids ti-rni the people would want Iiitli no longer. As lie sat thus in Ids bitterness the door opened, and a girl stood before Idiii. He had to look at her twice before lie recognized her as the typist who had sold him out. He did not upbraid her. There was uo scowl ou liis face as lie regarded her and waited for her to speak. "They lied to me,” she tinully said. "Yes?" “Mother was ill, and we were In other trouble, aud 1—1 didn't think u speech nmouutcd to so very much— that Is, 1 thought you could easily ii.ake up nuolber.” “Yes? Two or three hundred dollars seemed a great sum to you. If men sell their honesty, w hy shouldu't wom-

en?'’

"But mother died, sir!” sobbed the girl. "1 wanted to get her to tho bospital, hut she—she died!" “1 am sorry for that. I believe her death leaves you ulolle in tin* world?" “Y-yes, sir. I'd have brought it sooner only there was the funeral, aud I thought it was only just a speech. Was It to lie a great speech ?” “Well, 1 hoped so.” “But mother said it was and that we shouldn't use a penny of tho money and that I’d done very wrong. She said I must get it hack and give up the money, and here is the copy." “The speech!” exclaimed the senator as he reached her side. "Von don't tell me that you have got the speech back!" "This is it. sir." “Aud where—where”— “In the next room down the hall.*’ “In Senator Blank's room! Bless you. hut ho has been loudcs’: in do nounclng those who bribed you aud loudest In bin sympathies over my loss! You can’t possibly mean bim?” “Ho was tho one who paid me the money. I have been In hia room rummaging around for half an hour, finally found the speech and left the money on his table.” There was a long silence as tho girl stood with downcast eyes nt-.d the senator looking her over.
