An amusing scene Was recently enacted in a country court-room in Maine. The trial justice, a big, pompous official, with a voice like a trombone, took it. upon him- self to exmnine a witness, a little, wither- ed old man, whose face was as red and wrinKled as a smoked herrina. “What is your name ‘2” asked the jus- tice. “‘1\ by S11 111 c, said the astonished witness.

One balmy afternoon in June Hans Cor- dova, a wood chopper in the forests in the ‘ southern part of Louisiana, wandered off in ; the woods to take the life which God had 1 given him. His was a hard lot. His wife 1 was ill, and the meager pittance which he earned with the ax was expended to buy the medicine which she needed, and now, with starvation staring him in the face, he was about to take his life. 1, After walking a considerable distance into ': the forest Hans began making preparations for his entrance to that “bourne from whence no traveler returns.” While on his knees s commending himself ":3 his God, he heard a : low whine, which sn fidenly changed to a ; growl, as his dog, a grnt shaggy deerhound, ; bounded past the kneeling man after a “cot- ton fall,“ which had jUst disappeared down a. s .lel hole under a fallen tree, and Hans, for- getting everything in his eagerness to catch the rabbit, scooped up handful after handful of earth from the hole, until, after disloilging i a large, flat stone, he came to a small cavity A man weigl as a football house at 2,540 ( day morning. as be rushed A man weigi. ing 300 pounds and as round as a football mu. screaming from the dye i on 1-: at e :HU Cottage Grove avenue yester- an» mowing His form giistened like steel as he 1u>hed to the drug store at Twenty- biXLh Stl't ‘10:; ml Cottage Grove me; me.

How it Qt there and to whom it originally belong-3d is a mystery Hans has been unable to solve. Although a very moderate fortune, it restored him to his old time prosperity, and today the ltzziest and most important mem- ber of the family is Jack, the old deerhound; and as Hans remarks to his visitors, that "Jack is, indeed, a dear, dear hound.”â€"New York Journal.

The Love of First Loves. The truth is, to be spoken flat] y and with confidence that it is the truth, that a man who does not love his first loves all his life long makes a great mistake and does injustice to his own past; But, of course, he is to love them as they were. The atfectiou they in- spired in him, when they did inspire it, is a part of himself for all time, and they, asthey then seemed, are a. part of him too, and. it, is as idle for him to try to eradicate them from his actuality as for the leopard to attempt to change spots with theEthiopian.
