An old woman, with long gray hair,
stepped forward when he nanm was
called, and confronted the police judge.
"You aro a very old woman to bo
in a place of this kind," said the judge.
"What is the charge against herj"
turning to an officer.
"Stealing a pot of flowers, your
honor."
U.-- "Who made VV ccrnnitilf' -
. "I did," replied a man, stepping for
ward. "I know that it looks hard to
have such an old woman arrested, but
I nin a law-abiding citizen, judge, and
I don't intend to be imposed on. This
is the way the whole thing came about:

wanted anything, she shook her head.
Just then a customer came in and I
piid no attention to her, but after she
was gone I discovered that a pot, con
taining a fine geranium,, was missing.
I knew she took it, and whai she
wanted with His more than 1 can tell.
If she had stolen somethin;: to eat
of wear it would have beeu a different
thing.
The old woman looked -up and said.
"Judge I stole the flower."
"Didn't you know it was wrong."
"Yis."
"Was the temptation so great that
you could not withstand itj"'
' There was no temptation. It re
quired more of a struggle to take it
than it would have required not to
have taken it."
"That is a very singular occurrence,
madam. Tell us alt about it. Don't

desire to see you punished, and rest
assured that I will stand by you. Law

around lfer shoulders, she .wiped tiiein
i way.
"Oh, sir," (die said, 'o make you
understand why I took the flower
might be a story too long to tell in n
court, uud it mL'ht be out of place te
tell it anywhpre to strangers, but as
ycu havi spoken so kindly I will tell
you. iearsago, I lived in this city.
My parents were well situated and I
was carefully reared. I married a man
whom evpryone recongnied as an ele
gant gentleman but tome he proved to
bea drunken brute. At last he took
our little boy and went away, I know
not where, leaiing me wi'ha h..liy just
two months old. My parents had died
ami I went our into the country and
changed my name. I worked for a
living, heart-oroken as I was. One
day my little darling was taken ill.
I took her in my arms started towards
town, where she niiyiit hive the prop
er medical attention but she seemed to
grow worse. At last I knew she was
dying and I sat down under a tice. 1
held her '.o my bosom a long time, foi
sho shivereJ, and when I looked again,
she was dead. A man who lived near
by made a coffin, and I buried the
ittle girl under the tree where she had
lied. Then I went awny, I know not
how, and began a long search for my
husband, not that I wanted him, but
that I wanted my son. 1 must hae
gone crazy, for I was seized one day
and taken to a mad house. How- long
1 remained there I do.i't know but I
could see that I was much older looking
than when I went in. From time to
time I implored the keeper to let me
out, but he refused. About a month
ago I taw an opportunity and escaped.
I was not mad, for when again under
the clear sky, the memory of my trou
bles were ns fresh as though but a dty
had passed. I turned, nfter much in
quiry, toward my native place, and a
few days ago I arrived here, but I did
not stop until I had found my way to
the little grave under the tree. I hail
carried stone and built a little wall
around it, but briars ind bushes had
grown up so thickly that I could hard
ly find the place. I cleared the briars
away and came to town. While pass
ing along the street I saw thi-i nianV
flowers. I stole a geranium pot, and
it now sits on the li'tle child's grave."
The flower dealer had sunk upon a
bench. "Grea' God, judge!" he ex
claimed, springing up. "The woman i

Coral. Msticriea.
Some interesting. information ubont
the coral fisheries of Italy is given in
a repcrt of F. G. Ilaughwout, United t
States Consul at Naples. More than
fife hundred Italian ships are engaged
in tho fisheries, either upon the Italian
hanks or upon those of foreign nations,
giving employment to about 4200
salors. The qumtity of coral collected
annually by the ships sailing under
the Italian flag amounts to5G,000 kilo
grams, valued at 4,200,000 lire (ujout
SO.uuu.uuu;. In Algeria, 10,000 kilo
grams of coral are taken anually, rep
resonting a value of 7f)0,000 lire. In
addition, the Spanish ship, about CO
in number, gather along the coast of
Spain and elsewhere about 12,000
kilograms of coral, in value- about
800,000 lire.
From theso figures it may be seen
tliat the quantity of coral gathered
untiual'y by snips not bearing tha
Italian 11 lg amounts to 22,000 kilo
gnins, of the value of 1,55 ,000 lire.
This, added to the figures already "iven
as tho direct result of Italian fisheries,
amounts to 78,000 kilograms valued
at 5,750,000 lire (about 81,150,000).
these are the figures which represent
approximately the annual g thering of
coral in different seas by ihe Italian
and fore gn ships and its value.
There are in Italy CO eonl work
simps, giving work to about GOOO men,
women and children, by whom the
coral is brought to that cendition
which renders it so interesting ar.d
precious. The men employed earn
from 20 to 80 cents a day and tho
women and children from IC to 40.

II. Sunderland's cherry tree, measur
ing 70 inches in circumference, is
thrown in the shade by one found by
"Vindicator" on the farm of Jasper M.
.Mitchell, Powell's va'ley, which was
planted by his father in 1858. It is
the "oxheart" variety mid bears a full
irop every year. A careful n:enur
inent about 3 inch's above ih grounl
gives its circumference at 103 inches,
or- 2 feet 10 inches in diameter.
About 4 feet up the trunk tho first
limb puts forth, which is G3 inchps in
circumference. Two teet higher
another limb pi.t out that equals in
size any ordinary cherry tree. The
tree stands 45 feet in height and its
branches cast a shadow over nearly
100 feet square. It stands just at the
corner of the door-yard and the ground
around it has never been cu tivated;
in fact the tree has been Used for a
hitching post since the time it became
Urge enough to stand it. It is some
what cut and fc.irred, but rough usage
does not beem to hurt it, and the
chances for many more good crops from
it nro very promising. It is certainly
the champion cherry tree of Oregon
so far ns heard from.
