Covers were laid for thirty-five and maple-sugar and pickles were serv ed. Ohio State Journal. One duy-'a lady passing long-' a utreetln Tokyo where a plumber was fixing a waters)out received a sprinkle of melted solder, oti her dress.- Sbo turned npoii the -poor muu like a fury, declaring that tbe Cress, was ruilied. that she hud just received it from.' Its maker, that It was worth $100 and' de manding that he pay the amount' at oil'-." ' ' "': ' ! ''. ' The iilumber, who probablj' had nev er possessed half tho 'amount' In lils llfof was very much chagrined, lie ex plained that his ladle had slipped and the Injury to the dress was entirety imlntentloual. ' " , "That hits nothing tx) do , wlth tfte matter. You ruined my dress, and yb'u shall bay for It, I think I know tho law well enough to be sure of my noBl- rjon." : . ' "".', "But I have not tho money to pay." "Then you shall go to jail." ' "- "But, -my nol)Ie lady, consider my wife and children. While 1 am In Jail they will starve.'' "I have nothing to do with your wife and chtldron.' I buy a new dress; you ruin It; I must have the cost, and you must pav U. Tho misfortune Is yours.' "I'll pay you a dollar a;' week."' lie said plteously, "till all Is paid. , "That would take two yearn. No. must have my money now. Since ycra will not pay, you shall go before the Justice... He will find out whether you have the money."- - . With that she called a policeman and had the plumber taken before a Jus tice. The court was In session, and after waiting awhile the lady secured a bearing. She told her side of the case. The' plumber admitted thai, through an aectfient which occurred while tbe lady was passing, her dress hiitl been Injured by his solder. lie de clared that he would pay In time, but be could not pay at once. "It all rests with tho plaintiff," "said the judge. "You bave ruined her dress and must pay tbe damage. This is tho law. It rests wlthjher whether she lets you off from immediate payment , ."I demand my it.nney and at once, said the lady. "You hear," mUH the Judge. :'You must nay tho tnuuey or go to jail." "Then I musto to jail," sutd the plumber,. giving way to grief, "und my poor little ones wlmt. will become of litems " At this point a man lu the ga.rb of a merchant arose and said: "It tbu plaintiff only wishes io re ceive the amount representing tlw damage to the garment I will pay It. "My dress Is ruined," said the- wi man. "I must nave till n costa Hun dred dollars.'.' "The law gives you tUat, I believe." "Aud at once." "That Is also the law." Taking from his wallet a hundred dollars, the merchant gave It to the Fady. She took ltreedlly and, having got all she wanted, was turning to leave the court -when the merchant sa-id; . "Having paid the full value of your garment, it iw mine." "Certainly. You can have il as soon aft I get home:" . "Tliut Is not the law. It gave you the amount of the damages nt once, and it gives me fm dress at once." "What! Do you oxiieot me to give, It to you here before all these people?'' "I certainly do: "Judge," said cjjjj woman, "1 appeal to you. Does the' luw require me to make a public spectacle of myself?". "It gives your jjjarment to Its owner at once." Til not take !(Tofr till t get home," said the ludy spitefully, "and I would like to sec any one try to take It off me by frco." "No one will do thai." suld the Judge. "If you do not deliver It at ouce you must go to jail." - The woman stood stupefied. "Take back your money," she said to the morchnut. "I waut my dress." "I'll buy It hack for twice what I paid for it." jj "The offer is nolLacceptod." "Two hundred, Uiree hundred, four hundred, Ave hunifrud." "As for myself said tho merchant, "I would not selh tho dress for any sum, but since thlif pHnnber is In need of money I will take what you offer and pny It to him." . The lady, who had plenty of money, sent for the uniount to tie paid and when It cumo gave it to the merchant, who handed it to the plumber. The poor inun was quite beside himself at the sudden turn the affair had taken. The sum was more than he would arn In -a year. , , "Good day, madam." snid tho mer rbaut. r , She cast a spiteful lauce at him aud was suddenly struck dumb. He had dropped the merchant's robe, and in the richly embroidered apparel bo neath sho recognized tbe son of the mikado and heir nppnrent to the throne. Like the good Caliph Haroun-al-Ras-chld, who was accustomed to go about among the citizens of Bagdad to dis cover their requirements, this prince frequently mingled Incognito with the :'hIrous of Tokyo. He was especially Interested In tbe courts, which are uuist important to the welfare of any people. Turning to an attendant, the prince suid loud enough for all to bear, "Strike the name of this lady from tbe Ust of those who are received at court." ' .
