"BE WAS IN IT.1 Judge Monro So Decided In Favor of Kelly-Kelly vs. Fenlow. John J. Kelly vs. People's Bank et al. Plaint iff began this suit by seising a lottery ticket, one-twentieth of a whole ticket, which had won 15,000 and had been forwarded to the People's Dank for collection, and In which he claimed one-fourth interest as owner. By consent the ticket waa cashed, and the unclaimed three quarters were withdrawn, leaving the contested one-quarter, which waa alio claimed by John W. Fenlow, under control of the court. The parties live In St. Louis, and have been quite unfortunate. In 1891 Fenlow, Kelly, Norlc man, O'Keefeand Connors formed a quasi club, and on three or four occa-ilons purchased Ave fractions of lottery tickets, said fractions cost ing II each, and each member, contributing bla proportion of the price, was equally Interested In the winnings. Fenlow generally wna charged with purchasing the tickets, and held them until the d awing. The membera usually paid their contributions before the drawings, and Fenlow paid the lot tery ticket vendor. In April, 1892, they Invested (Connors lind dropped out). All paid eiceut Kellv. who Inul agreed to pay his dollar on the day preceding liic urnuiK. The tickets had been selected by Norleman There was no further Intercourse between the members of the club until after the drawing on Tuesdav.

'I'll place where they took refuge was near the aeiiHhnre. A gardener named Juan, under the direction of Cervantes, secretly cut nut n cave, In which the fifteen Christian prisoners hid themselves. Juan watched the neiffhlxirhood and allowed do one to approach the envery, and another slave brought food to the captives, who dared leave their hiding place onlyat night. Affreight days, during which Cervantes watched the sea, he saw the frigate which had come to rescue them. That even Inu tile frigate approached the land, but duller men gave the alarm, and so ninny people assembled that the captain waa obliged to go to sen again. Ho made a second attempt a little Inter, but unfortunately was cap tured. The day after the frigate was taken the captives were betrayed. Cervnnteea was ent to the convicts' prison, and a little later, Just as he was about to lie sent to Constantinople, where the possibility of rescue would be lost forever, be waa ran sonied.

A Clam That Pearl Divers Fear. The pearl fisheries of Ceylon belong to England, the natives being employed to gather them on a basis of shares lu the re suit. All sorts of superstitions prevail among them and a large business is done by sorcererawhosell charms to restrain the appetite of thosharksauil to drive n way the diabolical stingrays. Another peril which the diver dreads more than either stingray or shark is the giant clam, that weighs nearly half a ton when full grown. It will nap off a man's legs like a pipe stem If the victim chances to thrust a limb between its open jaws,. or at all events will bold him nntil he drown mlMernhly.

Oldboy Is a patient man, but after sitting there fur about fifteen minutes he called the waiter over and asked him, somewhat harshly: "What la the matter with that clam roast f Have you sent out to dig the cIuiiihF" "Oh, no, sir," answered the waiter, with a polite bow, "but you ordered tin old fasli loued roast, you know."

Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol Is. It deadens the sensibilities of the skin, and hence prevent the sensation of cold. It relieves the disposition to chilliness be cause of this deadened sensibility, and as colds and calurrlis are due to hyper sensl tiveness of the skin, we readily se that the cold hut li prevents the cold by reducing the sensitiveness.

Dr Hubert Walter In Laws of Health. In the long ao a rose and a tond lived near each other. The shrub on which the rose blossomed grew la a half round parterre before a house yet occupied, though the larye, shady Harden lu front of It bad Ih'cii Iuiik Decocted. H eeils flourished In the plat bauds, and In the paths, which wero no lonuer cleansed or sanded. The Kreen wooden rnllinu, with Its curved ornaments, wus faded and broken. The liuys had pulled off some of the bars to play soldiers, and the moujiks had carried some away to de fend themsclveauKulnst the dons, lint the parterre continued luxuriant, and around the remains of the railin twined the wild peu, the cuscute and other lluwerliiK vines, from which Ihiiik white and purple clus ters. Tall thistles also sprang up In the moist, rich soli of the garden, und the still taller spires of the yellow miillen bristled Willi dowers. .Nettles covered a large cor tier, olid, however disagreeable In other re spects, the dark verdure formed au ail ml rahle background for the pale colors of th rose. me nower commenced owning on a beautiful May morning. The dew was fast rising into vapor, but some tiny tears still ting In their purity on the edges of the rose. The flower seemed to be weening. Around her nil was so bright and sunny when for the llrst time she beheld the blue ky, and felt the play of the fresh breeze and the rays of t lie genial sun among her thin, light tinted petals, nil was so calm antl peaceful in the parterre that she might well have wept, nut from surruw, but from pure Joy. hhe could not speak, but, In cllning her little head, she could shed around her a subtile und refreshing per fume. Such were her words, her tears, her prnyera. At her feet lay a fat old toad, which had spent the night hunting worms and gnats, antl nt dawn bad selected a tnuist nod shady place for repose. His eyes were cov ered by a membrane,. Ills sides puffed out dirty and slimy. One of his paws was stretched before lilin; he was too lazy to draw it up to his body. He look no de light iu the beauty of the morning. Ue wus gorged and taking rest. When the zephyr, growing more gentle, bore less of the fragrance of the ruse far away on Its wings, the toad began to breathe It nnd becatno disturbed and confused, but was ton stupid to regard whence it came. Since the previuus autumn no one hud come near the parterre where the ruse grew and the toad was reposing. The last visitor was a bright eyed little boy of seven years, having a large bend on a slendi body. As no one else claimed the garder. he called it his own, and it was his delight. His visits had ceased at the time when the toad waa preparing to make his home fur the winter among the foundation stones of the house. When the weather wus pleasant the lit tie fellow would sit and read on an oi l beneh stiiudiiig against the house, ut the side ol the only dry and sanded path, which was kept lu good condition fur guiug buck and furth and closing the shutters. His sister, who took cure of him, w ould renuiiu at the window reading or cinlirolilcrini; to keep him company. I're(iiently, when she asked, "Waasiu, shall I throw out your ball so you can plavr be would answer. .No, Madia, I like my book better. When fatigued with the "Adventures ol Robinson" and the sluriea of wild cottn tries, he would leave his book open and wander over the garden. Kvery bush ami shrub wus an acouaiiitance. He would crouch before a velvety million plant twice us tall us hu to see a colony of ants run nlng up and down after the aphides, and gathering Willi delicate tact the pure drop lets of honey dew exuding from the little rolls on the hacks of the aphides. He would follow the beetles dragging their bulls he knew uot where. Ho would watch the spider when she had woven her irlsed web lu u sunny place and wus lying In wait for Hies, and t ho li.ard opening iU mouth to tin nk iu the sunshine, ami re flecting the rays from the scales uf Its bright green corselet. One evening, when we saw a hedgehog or the llrst time, he could scarcely restrain his Joy and was about to clap his hands, From fear of frightening the little prickly beast lie held his breath. Hut he opened wide bis lust runs eyes and was delighted to see how the animal sullied with its snout for worms among the runts of the rosebush, and iu what a funny way it paws catching on to the twigs Uuluw her, but the tond hail ureal trouble In climb ing Ills Hat bmly was made for crawling and leaping on a smooth surface. After each fruitless eirurt he looked up eagerly at the branch where the llower wiu sway inn and exerted himself anew, The rose Isdluved its destruction near aud prayed, "Oh, that I might die torn other death!" The tond climbed higher and higher, but at the swt where the old wood ended and the young branches commenced, he met new dilllcullles. The smooth green bark was armed with sharp thorns, lie pricked hi paws and body, and rolled down cov ered with blood. He now stared at th llower with venom In his heart. "1 tell you," ho squeaked, "that 1 will yet eat you up." Night was coming on, and It was needful to bunt for his supper. Dragging hiuisell along be watched fur imprudent Insects. Anger prevented him from gorgitifrhlui- sell as much as usual Ills scratches were not dangerous, antl he resolved to take a good rust and theu return to the llower wbicb had such a strange fascination, though it wus uow odious to him. The next morning the rose had arrtff.mt forgotten her enemy. She wus approach lug full bloom and was the most beautiful one in the parterre. Still there wus uo on to admire her. Tho young master wo helpless on bis bed. His sister did not leave him, and tlid not appear at the win dow. Only the birds and butterflies Hut tercd about tho rose, and the buzzing bees at times plunged Into the corolla fur the honey, und flew away covered with the yellow dust of the llower. A nightingale perched on the bush ami commeuced u song which was quite unlike the hoarse croaking of the toad. The rose listened out! felt happy. She thought that the bird was singing becuttse she was there, and perhaps she was right. bhe did not uotlce that her enemy wus again slyly working his way up the branches. This time tho toad did not spare his paws or sides. He mounted higher and still higher, lu the midst of the sweet song of the nightingale the rose heard the dreaded croaking: I told you that I'd eat you up, and I will eat you up." In fuct, clinging to the nearest twig, he was devouring her already with his eyei. One moment more and he would bo able to reach her. She felt that she was alut to perisb. The young muster hud for a long time lain motionless. The sister, seatetl iu an armchair at the bedside, thought that hi was asleep, r or several nights her wake fill eyes hud watched over the sick one. Little by little the band holding the book was relaxed, her bead Inclined, and she fell into n doze. ".Mucbitl" cried the brother.

There is Just the one for you: a splendid rose. Shall 1 put it in a glass on your stuudf" "Yes. I would like (ton the stand." The young girl took her scissors and Kt went to the garden. She had been cuu Ys fined to the chaiulier so long that she was dazzled by the sun nnd benumbed by the cool air. bhe reached the shrub just wheu the toad wus about to spring on the fluwer. " hut a horror!" she exclaimed. Seizing the branch, she shook it smartly. The tond fell heavily to the ground Re covering himself, lie leaped furiously at the young girl, hut could nut get much higher thau the hem of her dress. She threw it to a distance with the tip of hor shue. He dared not come near again, nnd his envious eyes beheld the watchful cure with which she removed the flower und curried it to the house. As the brother caught sight of the rose, the llrst he hud seeu for su many months, he smiled feebly and made a painful move ment to reach it. "Let nie smell of It," he moaned. The sister put the stoiu in his hand and helped to bring the flower to his fuce.

UltlVKN FIIOM HUMS A French Catholic settlement of about 8,000 souls had long existed in Nova Sco tla, located on the iiuy of Fuudy When. in ITlll. that country wus surrendered to the English, It was stipulated by the treaty of ('trccht that one year be granted the lu liabltuuts to remove their el! ecu, but they not la-lug willing to lose the fruits of many yeurs' labor, chose to remain and become subjects of (ireat Uritaln, on condition that they might lie exempt from bearing arms against Franca. This request they understood to be granted on taking the oath of Illicitly to Ojieen Anne, and it was also renewed some yeurs after to King (icorgo II, who again allowed them this exemption. They rendered assistance, however, to the F.nglisn government on ull occasions, being willing to erect furts, make roads. build bridges, etc. The only thing they could not do was to bear arms ugaiust their countrymen nnd destroy with their own bauds relations and friends.
