IT WA8 HER BARGAIN DAY.
Bold Husband's Old Coat for -45 Cents
While Hi $30 llurncss Was Stolen.
It was a Detroit lawyer who hired a
.rnmplsh looking man to do some work
about his liouso the other day, and as
he was a bit suspicious of him, and
as there were a lot of things around
ho could easily pick up, It was suggest
ed to the wlfo that she keep an cyo on
tho fellow. This sho agreed to do, and
thu lawyer departed for his otllce. Af
ter a couple of hours ho telephoned and
she answered that everything was all
right. He telephoned again as ho went
to lunch and got tho same report. At
3 o'clock In the afternoon tho wife
telephoned that tho man had suddenly
disappeared, and that sho thought a
harness from tho barn hnd gono with
hltn. Tho lawyer started for homo nt
onco and within Ave minutes of gcttlug
there he had found that n $30 harness
was mlsslug.
"I thought you agreed to watch
him?" bo said to his wlfo In Indignant
tones.
"Yes, I did," sho replied, "aud I had
my eyo on hlin most all tho tlmo. A
(Ire euglue went past aud I never went
to tho door. The ambulnnco came
clauglng nlong aud I never looked out.
As many as threo different peddlers
called, but I would not bother with
them. I think a street car struck a
wagon on tho block abovo nnd hurt a
man, but I wouldn't go out aud see."
"Then you must have fallen asleep."
"No, I didn't. It was Just this way.
An old-do' man en mo along."
"And what of It?"
"I knew you had an old overcoat
hanging upstairs and It was such a
good chance to get rid of It"
"And so you quit watching the tramp
to dicker with the old-clo' man?"
"That was It but It was the Unit old
coat 1 ever sold, you know, and I was
so anxious to make a good bargain."
"Well, your dicker over tbo old coat
has cost me a (30 harness," said the
husband.
"Oh, but It hasn't," she smilingly re
plied, according to tho Detroit Free
Press, "I made such a bargain selling
that coat"
"How much did you get for It?"
"Forty-Are cents, and I don't believe
It wax worth over thirty. We can af
ford to bare a harness stolen every
week If we can get such a big price for
our old clothes."
Following tba Fashion.
"So you are going to retire from ac
tive leadership,"
"I am," answered the political boss.
"What's the matter? Are you tlredr'
"No. But t seems the proper thing.
I have observed that all prominent
statesmen do so now and then."

lively young soubretto, with a knack
of facial expression when In troublo
(which Is frenquent) that exhausts
the rlsablo capacity of tho onlookors.

uncommonly clever chlldron (Stnnloy

parlor conducted upon up-to-date meth
ods.

A largo num,bur of our citizens
havo attended thu court tho pant wcok
drawn thither by tho trial of Chas.
Savage, charged with larceny of $10,
000 worth of diamonds from tho Port
land Hotel. Tho caso was ably fought
on both Bides, Messrs. Manning nnd
SpotiBcor appearing In tho rolo of
prosecutors nnd tho dofondant being
nbly represented by WIIbou T. Humo.
In tho selecting of tho Jury ono color
ed man, J( W. Uontty, had boon drawn
and on examination ns ho was found
to bo duly qualified to net as a Juror
tho prosecution showed tholr cbM--mato
of a colored man ns n Juror by
excusing him, not thinking that ho
could try tho cobo fairly and bo gov
erned Boly by tho ovldonco. Why aro
thoy willing to allow n whlto man to
bo tried by whlto Jurors? Tho out
como of tho caso scomod ' to rest
solely on tho credibility of two wit
nesses Kelly Wllley nnd Truo John
son. It wna the opinion of tho major
ity of thoso who followed thu pro
gress of the caso that tho prosecution
made a vory weak caso and tho out
como wna a disagreement of tho jury,
who stood six to six to tho tlmo they
wero discharged. Tho charge that had
