State Messenger Arrives Late.
Portland Oregon's electoral meg'
senger, R. R. Butler, who was given
the state vote on Presidential elect
ors, failed to arrive in Washington
Monday and was Tuesday subject tr
$1000 fine for his failure.
Oregon's electoral vote was count
ed, for a copy was forwarded by mall
and has been In the hands of the
Vice-President for more than a week.
But this fact does not release 'Butler
from the penalty which the law im
poses for failure to deliver the Vote
by the third Monday it January. Ii
this penalty is invoked it will con
sume his entire mileage and compel
tlm to go into his pocket for about

Distinction! In Being Kicked.
The Arabs, clever horsemen as the;
tre, are quite as liable to accident as
English grooms. But the Arub likes to
be kicked by a thoroughbred horse and
ennnot endure to be put to any pain by
an nuluial whose pedigree Is at all de
fective. An English surgeon bad been
setting the broken leg of an Arab who
couipiatued more of the accident that
had befallen him than was thought be
coming iu one of his tribe. This the
surgeon remarked to him, and his an
swer was truly characteristic. "Do you
think, doctor. I Bhould bave uttered a
word of complaint If my own high
bred colt In a playful kick bnd broken
both my legs? But to bave a bone
broken by a brute of a jackass Is too
bad, and I will complain!"
The Comic Side of Crime.
It is a generally accepted fact that
one can see humor in most things if
one looks deep enough. The following
Is perhaps rather a queer story, but it
ts worth quoting if only to emphasize
the futility of choosing Juries in the
haphazard way stUl followed In Eng
land: A man was tried on evidence Irre
sistible "to anybody but a Jury" for a
most terrible murder. He bad slain
his father and mother ou testimony so
clear that there could be no shadow of
doubt as to his guilt
The Jury brought In a verdict of not
guilty.
It was an example of the comic jury
yes. screamingly funny comedians a
troupe of twelve led by a comic fore
man.
The judge was furious and asked tbe
comedians what they meant by such
itn outrageous verdict "when they
knew the culprit was guilty and ought
to lie hanged.
"That's Just it tny lord," said the
foreman, of this distinguished body.

the prisoner's guilt but wt thought
there had been deaths enough In tbe
family lately!" Strand Magazine,

Wasted Entrgy.
A Baltimore man had decided that be
must administer a stern lecture to his
six-year-old son Harry. The boy had
been naughty, but did not seem to ap
preciate the fact, and it was with some
reluctance, therefore, that the parent
undertook a scolding.
He spoke Judiciously, but severely.
He recounted the lad's misdeeds and
duly explained the whys and where
fores of his solemn rebuke, bis wife
the while sitting by duly Impressed.
Finally, when the father ceased for
breath and Incidentally to hear the
culprit's acknowledgment of error, the
lad, his face beaming with admiration,
turned to the mother and said:

At the Wrong Place.
It was an exceedingly luxurious and
forblddlug looking hotel. Neverthe
less the worn, dusty and bedraggled
one inarched courageously across the
lobby to the desk.
"What." he inquired, "are your
prices?"
"Room without bath, S3.QO; witn
bath, H" the clerk rattled off glibly.
The dusty and bedraggled one pon
dered.
'Well, please give me." he remarked
llnally, "a bath without a room. And
kindly see that a nice soft eiderdown
pillow is placed In the tub. Also be
especially sure that"
At this point a cold glitter in the
clerk's eye closed the incident. New

Ignored the Old Law.
The evidence bad shown that the
brick which a careless workman had
dropped from a scaffolding twenty
feet above the surface of the ground
had fallen ou a man's shoulder and
broken a bone, but the jury decided
that the victim had no cause for ac
tionthe falling cf the brick bad no
necessary connection with the acci
dent. "Gentlemen," said the judge. "I
never heard of such a verdict You
utterly ignore the existence' of the law
of gravitation."
"That law, your honor," answered
the foreman of the jury, "Is so old
that we decided not to consider it
It's obsolete.
