A REALISTIC PICTURE.
It Proved Too Absorbing For Old Unci
Juniper.
The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and It was fair!
evident. Bays a contributor to the Ta.v
fcir-Trotwood Magazine, that some
thins of unusual Interest was about
to transpire. Within the bar on tn
prisoner's seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea of not guilty before the
Jury.
"Who, gentlemen of the Jury, has
worn that be saw this man commit
this theft?" demanded the attorney
"We have broken every link in the
weak chain of circumstantial evidence
Kith which the state has tried to en
tangle him. Why, his neighbor, Tom
Jones, swore that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend
tnt's house and that he shot the bog
tweause It was wild.
"It Is true that Colouel Smith swore
that one of his hogs disappeared about
Dec. 23 and that about fifty yards
from a certain stump he found blood
and then followed a trail of blood from
that spot to this defendant's cabin. But
what of that?
"This defendant told you-and his
wife and brother swore the same that
that was the blood of a coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him Jus
tice as you would do If be were a
white man. lie cannot help beta
Wack. 'The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skin. For
twenty years he has been a leader In
the church. Let him remain free to
enjoy the bread of life with others of
the faithful."
As the lawyer sat down the women,
who had been "weaving" back and
forth for some minutes, commenced to
shout:
"Bress de Lawd!"
"Dar, now!"
"We knows yo's innocent, Br"er Juni
per."
The sheriff had to thu-aten to clear
the courtroom before order was restor
ed. When at last there was silence the
district attorney rose.
"Gentlemen of the Jury," he began
In closing the case for the state, "I de
tire only to bring a picture to your
Blinds.
Here the prisoner adjusted bis big
brass rimne.l spectacles as If to see
the picture. :.nd his manner showed
that he was iletermined to let no detalJ
escape him.
"The 23d of last December," contin
ued the district attorney, "found Juni
per Bradley without meat His son
was coming to spend Christmas with
Mm. But Jv.niper did not worry, for
mfy half a mile away in Marse Smith's
woods were "uine fat hogs.
. "An hour before sunset Juniper was
kneeling behind a large stump In these
woods, with bis rifle pointing toward a
log that "at some distance away was
rooting among the leaves."
The district attorney paused. Taking
a cane to represent a rifle, he knelt be
Mnd a chair. After some minutes of
moving to right and left, now raising.
ow lowering his rifle, he took careful
aim and then fired, imitating the noise
ef a report very successfully.
. At the sound Juniper,' who had been
smiling, apparently oblivious to every
thing save the district attorney's move
ments, exclaimed:
"las, suh, dat's des de way I done
hit, boss!"
The laugh that followed brought Ju
niper to a realization of what he had
done, and he shuffled round In the
prisoner's seat, muttering, "Nigger got
do show nohow!"

Bobby Is the son of a Methodist min
feter and has had the experience of
"moving" four times in the space of
his eight years' life. lie disapproves
strongly of the itinerant system which
Is the bane of the Methodist clergy.
Some time ago an elderly minister
was visiting Bobby's father and di
rected his attention to the small boy,
asking him many questious of a semi
theological nature. Finally the course
of the conversation turned to heaven,
and Bobby ,was asked coucerning the
abode of the blest. "Yes," said the
youngster, with a sigh of deep weari
ness, "I know. It's the last place we're
going to move to." Argonaut
Out of the Ordinary,
"Say," queried the high browed man
as he entered the drug emporium,
"have you Bighead's balm for bald
ness?" "No," replied the druggist, "but"
"Oh, yes," interrupted the prospec
tive customer, "of course you have
something Just as good, but I want
what I want. See!"
"You are mistaken, my friend," said
the pill dispenser. "I haven't anything
Just as good, but I have something
that Is far better." Chicago News.

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable War.
Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plutlng was
done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating of various sorts has been
opplied only to the finished piece, as In
our electroplating process. Moreover,
lie plating was done on copper, while
modern base metal is usually com
posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, it Is possible for tho
collector to secure examples of early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work In Sheffield plate, whllo J lie
rarity and high money value of silver
ware of that period make Its acquisi
tion extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically Is as worthy
of a place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.
In 1742 one Thomas Bolsover of
Sheffield, England, described In the
histories as an "Ingenious mechanic,"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing a knife. Ho began
experimenting, seeking for a method of
plating copper with sliver for the man
ufacture of small articles. In 1713. to
gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up a
factory for the manufacture of buc
kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph nancock soon got hold of the
secret and. perfecting it, demonstrated
that It was possible to Imitate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling In Sheffield, he started
the manufacture of all sorts of domes
tic pieces. Beginning modestly with
horsepower, he later added water now-
er for the rolling process. Other man
ufacturers followed his example, and
Sheffield plute soon begnn to replace
pewter on the tables of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
of twenty-three Important manufactur
ers of this ware.
The Industry flourished until the
middle of the nineteenth century, and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that tlier
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or Invented by
a medical student of Rotherham, near
Sheffield, nnd the new process was
patented on March 25, 1S40. By 1850
the new ware was on the market ev
erywhere, and the Industry had been
revolutIonized.-Country Life In Amer-

BISMARCK'S ANGER.
The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco-German War.
The Princess Bismarck, so the story
goes, changed the political history of
France unwittingly, and but for her
the Franco-Prussian war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
her beauty to Influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit tbe court of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuilerles.
That evening tbere was a grand re
ception, and Eugenie received the
guests In a gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and In love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugenie
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came, with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener
ous. As she walked she showed a
great deal of sole.
While Eismarck stood talking with
Eugenie s.n audible titter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as a flash, followed
the glance of their eyes and saw them
rest upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi
cal hlstorj of France was altered from
that moment.
A year later, when Paris was be
sieged, Bismarck himself fired a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were hear him heard him shout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin
cess Bismarck!"
The slight was avenged.
The Mayflower.
Never did a ship sail with such mo
mentous results as the little west coun
try clipper schooner the Mayflower,
but few people have bothered to ask
what was her fate after she had land
ed the heroic band of Englishmen on
Plymouth rock. As a matter of fact,
she drifted into the cotton trade and
sank after many years of service for
the East India company at MasuIIpa
tam, on the coast of India. London
