All lawyers of experience and all judge 'or t',e boiifh will concur iu thrsti suggestions. Exception will un doubtedly li taken to the third. Judge Puyuc miKht mure accurately huve mid that it ih u roinuriiuuie cum time cunuot be argued iu 30 minutes on each Hide. Wheu Judge Puyue says thut there ought always to be 13 won iu the jury box, he menu 9 thut the presiding judge iliDiild have a voice iu determining wlici tier or not a verdict should stuml. The fifth suggestion in moat impor tnut. Fuiluro of a presiding judgo to tup n triul when it in munifest thut the plaint iu has not made out a case Ih one of tlio chief causes of the costly und prorliguto carriuge of appcula to higher courts, wusting their time und working grievous injustice to litigants und the taxpayer. Iu inuking these suggestions Judge Puvno was not censorious of either bench or bur iu uny porsotial or professional or official sense. He whs in truth only voicing whut oft in thought but ne'er has been so frankly and uiunfnlly ex pressed. Tlio entire bench and tlie com petent bar would prefer to have these tuggest ious become the rule of the courts. It renuiiiiH with the bench to cnuct them into rule if it shall ho please. There is nut the, slightest doubt that the judges would favor such a rule aud that nothing but timidity or modesty on their part as individuals bus prevented them from taking action to this end. The business, however, of the beueh ought to be considered too prove and re sponsible to be subject to individual tim idity. These suggestions should become, in effect, luw for the courts.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg tells the following story of her introduction to oue of tlio British aristocracy. She was very young at the time of her first trip abroad. A gentleiuuu who felt uu inter est iu the talented young American took her to call ou the dowager Duchess of Somerset Miss Kellogg says that she had never before seen a duchess, and thut she fully expected the lady to come intp the room attired iu velvet und er mine and wearing a coronet un her bead. Sho wus quite bereft of speech when a very ordinary looking person, wearing a black bombazine gown und prunella shoes, apjieared ou the sceue. The gentleman who hud brought Miss Kellogg told the duchess thut she would he glad to siug for her, to which her gruce responded: "Hut I huve no piano." This wus the finishing touch to the young singer's childish ideals regarding persons of high degree. A duchess who wore pruuellu shoes und did not own a piano! Litter a musicalo was given by her gruce ut which Mis Kellogg sang to the accompaniment of a hired piano choosing for one of her songs uu ar rangement of Tenuysou's "Tears, Idle Tears." The verses were quite new to the duchess, who hud "heard of Tenny son, but hud never read anything that he had written." The uext day the gen tleiuuu who had introduced Miss Kel Jogg, und who, by the way, wus un Americuu, bought a copy of tlio poems aud aeut it to her gruce. Be Had Heard Irer Say Do. That it is ouly a step from tlio sublime to the ridiculous is well illustrated by tlio following amusing incident thut happened u few Sabbaths ago in a well kuowu church, and caused no littlo mer riment umoug the teachers. The super intendent was telling the wee small folks of the custom iu certain countries of chaining thu ptisoners' hands and feet together. "And, " she asked, "don't you suppose thut if some oue came, and released them they would be very happy and gruteful?" It wus unanimously ugrecd thut they would. "And, "continued the superintendent, coming to her point, "Jesus wus sent to the world to release eople from their sins. Are uny of you here bound with the chaiua of sin?" "No," piped tlio 4 year old offspring of the minister, "I'm not, but my grandmother is. " FIGURING THE PROFIT. Ha Knew When He Had a Good Tiling and How to Hold on to It.

"I know it," returued the speculutor complacently. "Aud when I told you to sell it was llfl." "That's right" "Then I can't see how you niuke your self out a winner."

" Washing ton Post UUUIN AXDTHK BOAT THE DEER STORY MAN SIGHED, BUT SAID NOT A WORD. A Klory of a llear and a Hunter la a Ca aoa Wlih No Weapon Kieepl 111 Wlte. It Waa a Natal llattle lineal, aad llraloa Woo a Macnlflcent Victor. They hud Iweu idling all sorts of banting stories, some uliuost too mirac ulous to tie believed, except by hunters ho nun nail exiiericuccs aud knew what struge things sometimes occur far uwuy amid the forest wild when there ure no witnesses. The last man hud told of d.-er limiting iu the water, aud a qtiat, heavy set man silting iu the cor ner seemed particularly interested iu the tale. "Thut reminds me," he said, when lie hud u chance to come iu, "uf an ex Irieuce I once had up iu thu lake re giou of Canada. A party of us were in camp there, along iu the full, und were having great sjsirt with the rod und gnu. We hud secured specimens of all the game and ilsh for which the section wus noted except a bear, und of that tracks bad tnen reported not far from camp, und we were to try for bruin us soou as we hud miido proper prepara tions. The day before we were to start out on the bear hunt I hud gone otr up the shore of the lake iu a light canoe we hud to fish for a couple of hours and get a fry for supper. I hud nothing with mo in t ho canoe except my fishing outfit and no sort of a weapon unless tliecunoe paddle might be culled oue. ism a man dnln t need a weasu to catch fish with, so I gave no thought to It. 1 had found a nice cave tip the cove about a mile from camp, und there I stopped tlie canoe about .10 feet from shnro in deep wutcr and threw out my line. l.ui k wits good, unci I hud pulled iu 11 vo or six fine fellows und was hav ing moro fuu than anybody, except tlio fisherman, when I was startled by a splash from the thicket lining the shore, aud the uext minute a w hopping big bear was making for mo lickely split. To say that I was scared doesn't half express it. I was paralyzed. I didn't even have sense enough left to grab my paddlo and try to get awuv. I simply caught it up and held it iu my hand as I would a club ami waited. But the bear didn't wait He was very evident ly hungry, or ho never would have at tacked nie oat there iu the boat, and he wus coming straight fur me. I wuited for him to get close enough to but him oue. und theu I gavo it to him with tho canoe paddle square between tint eyes. It dazed huu u little, but it was far more disastrous to tho puddle, und when I straightened up from delivering tho blow I had ouly ubout two feet of the paddle left in my hand. The rest of it. splintered, wus flouting in the wake of the bear. He gave himself a shake after I hit him, and the next minute he had caught the side of the camw with one of his big paws and wus manifesting a violent desire to get aboard with me. As ho weighed about 400 pounds und wus ns powerful us u horse it did not require a very strong haul to settle thut part of the proceeding early, and iustead of his coining aboard with me tho cuuoe wus upset, und I weut iuto the water with him. By this time a portion of my wits hud returned, und I had reuse enough, us tho boat went toward tho bear, to get off into the water with tho boathctweeu the bear und me. I wus u good swim mer und hud a faint idea if I got head ed toward the shore I could outswiui my enemy and get uway, so I turned, us soon as I got straightened out iu the lake, mid put back the other way. The bear iu the meantime, hud started around the cud of the boat, coming my way. I don't know what it was, wheth er inspiration or fear or bravery, but certainly it was something out of the ordinary, for as I went uround ouo eud of the bout mid the bear was ut the oth er or qnlto near it I wus struck with an ideu, und instead of trying sjkwI with tho bear for tho shore I concluded to try wits with him right where we wera So I swung on to tho end of the canoe, which was bottom side up, und us the hour camo toward me, I tilted tho other eud up, and with a sudden jerk, dropped the inverted bout over the bcur's head. The uext minute I was on top of the boat with the bear under me. I guess he didu't kuow what bad hapixMicd to him, for ho didn't seem to do anything under there except to bump his head agaiust the bottom and growl. I thought ut first ho might have sense enough to dive und come out on the other sido; but, like turkeys that walk into a pen through a hole bending from the outside iuto it, and, never once looking down for the hole to get out ut, ruu uround in a cruzy kind of a wuy till they are caught, thut bear staid under the bout with mo ou top of it, bumping his brad aud growling. By this time I was fil ing a good deal liko Napoleon crossing the Alps, or like some other greut hero, and felt still moro like it ns I noticed the bumping and the growling growing less every minute uutil finally they ceased ultogother. I didu't understand that quite aud began to wonder if the bear wasn't catching on to himself and thinking of the easiest way to get at his dinner, when over iu the cloar water of the lake, a dozen feet or so from the boat, I saw something big and dark lowly going toward the bottom and drifting away. Auother look convinced me it was my bear, und another minute found me swimming for tho shore at 40 miles au hour, moro or less. Half au hour later I was ou the spot again with three men in a big cams, and still half au hour later found us on shore with the body of the bear, w hich we had re covered from tho water. It was a clear cane of human intelligence against brute force, with the intelligence the victor, of course, but when uny more contests like thut are booked I desire it understood that I urn not comjiPtiiig."

Casper Is loci ted nt the western ter minus of the Fremont, K.Ik horn and Missouri Valley Itailroad. the only mad that enters that country. The town Is beautifully located ou the Pintle Itlver. nt the foot of a range of high hills that are the foothills of the Black Hills. It Is kept up by the sheep Industry, mid Is a typical sheep town. Its principal bus iness men are sheep owners who have come from the Kust nnd have settled there. In the vicinity of Casper nre miriy sheep shearing pens, dipping pens, cor rals nml various other buildings neei s sary to the business. The shearing pens consist of well made wood build lugs ubout lot) feet In length, nml aboiii sixty feet broad. This pen Is divided up Into smnller pens capable of holding two men while lit work. The suiallei p ns nre at the sides of the large pen. Through the center of these runs the chute or pathway through which tin sheep enter aud ure driven to the shear era. At oue end of the big building Is a large room, Into which the sheep come to await their turn with the sheurers. At the other eud Is u large room, Into which they pass ufter they have beeu shorn, and out of which they ure driven to the dipping pens. In this end also Is the kitchen und dining room, where meals are served to the shearers nml any visitors who may- happen to be present. Iu each of the smaller pens lire two shearers, provided with the customary large shears, a small whetstone, n small pail of water into which to dip the shears when they Is-come warm from use mid a low table standing not more than six Inches from the ground, uhhi which the milmal is placed while being shorn. Count is kept of the total iinin lier sheared ill each pen by means of the long, heavy strings that ure used to tie lip the wool lifter It has been taken off. A dozen sheep are M Into the eu. One by one they ure taken by the shear er, who handles them ns lie wouni n child, und their thick coat Is removed. Tlie wool Is then tied up In n bundle ml thrown outside the pen. It Is gath ered up and placed iu u huge wool wick that holds ubout .m pounds of wool. This sack Is a I Mint six feet high ami is suspended from u framework built In side the pen for the purKise. J here are, aside from the sheurers. a fore man, w ho oversees the work, a gang of "pliuchers," or herders, who keep tho sheep moving Into the chute, mid nu merous helpers who are employed Iu various ways about the place. After the sheep are all shorn they are driven a few miles to the dipping pens, where they are "dlpia-d" In a chemical solution that kills tlie "scab" parasites. These parasites are of several kinds and are denlh to the nnlmtil unless the "cab" Is killed. One kind of parasite la kuowu a the sheep tick. It causes if m! SCAIIIIV SIIKKI'. a great deal ol loss and thrives best on beasts In poor condition with weak Itei-ces. The sheep tick lives by suck ing the blood of the sheep und tbeli1 bites cause nut' li li rllntlou mid Itching on account or the polsou secreted while feeding. There Is also the scab mite, which causes the most dreaded ,,r nil . diseases, the s.-tib." It causes more loss lo owners than nil other kinds of Inserts und diseases comb! . -pi,,, scab mites Inn-row in the skin, where they lay their eitgs. After three days the eggs hatch and Iu twelve days nui'ie ti. young are full grow n. As each female lays about 11,'Heii ei;s at n time, three. fourths or which produce female in sets, the rapidity with which I he Insects multiply nnd n,,. disease spreads Is easily account ed for. lour or five scab mil, picked up ou the range will produce millions In a few weeks mid Infect the Whole Dock. Aside from these two there are the sheep lotwe. They prefer long wooled sheep mid affect the beast's condition by loss of the blood tin y live .mi nnd by the Irritation they cause. The eggs of the louse are l.ihl til the base or the wool fiber, to which they adhere tmtil the young emerge. The dipping pens nre rather small hiiilillligs n roil ml which are corrals, where the Mocks stay. Leading from Ih so corrals Is a trough about loo feet long dug In the gt id. This trough Is filled wllh w hat Is know u as sheep dip, a chemical compound that kills the par asites. This trough Is about live feet deep and Into It die animals plunge mid swim the entire length of It, emerging Into corrals nt the other end. Men are stationed nt intervals along this trough nnd wllh long poles push the swimming sheep under the liquid III order that they may be entirely submerged. The dip does not Injure the sheep, unless a storm folic, vn. The herders und sheurers lead a n-sl-less life. The si p travel Iu bauds of about U.ooo each. There are two herd ers wit It each band. One of them trim the sheep mid protects them from the coyotes and wolves, nnd the other Is known as the rump mover. It Is his business to select site for new camps when it is deemed advisable to move, take care of Hie tent uml haggnge and move the camp. The men live III tents for the most part, although some of them, generally married men, have Immense wagons, canvas covered, in w hich they live with their families. These wagons nre very picturesque mid are often furnished iu the best style, with spring beds, cook stove, cupboards, Hour chests mid all conveniences. They live Iu them tlie year round, mid know no other home. The shearers are generally rovers. They go III lands from place to place, as the shearing progresses.

They found the chairs were so injured they would have to be resented so much. There was n crack iu the mirror over the mantel. A Hew glass would I u necessary so lunch. Passing their hands under each of tho pieces of china they discovered so many nicks and dis figurements that a new set of china must be bought s.i much.
