DODGED THE ROUNKMAN Tired Policeman Cleverly Get Himself Out of a Holo. A police sergeant was going tbo rounds when be saw a policeman, whom we'll call Mullaney, go Into an undertaker's shop where there is gen erally a pinochle game In tbe back room. He knew there was no back way out for Mullaney, ao "rounds'* planted himself by tbe door and wait ed. After a time be sent In word by one of tbe men working In tbe shop tbat he knew Mullaney was In there and that be had better come back on post because tbe longer he waited the worse the complaint against him would read. There was mueb commotion in tbe back room, and as there were a num ber of coffins being loaded Into a wag on outside they put Mullaney in a cof fin and loaded him on tbe wagon. Then they drove him down tbe street a couple of blocks, and Mullaney climb ed out. He strolled back up to where the sergeant was doggedly watching the door and saluted. “Hello, rounds! Pleasant evening. Isn't it?” he Bald. And the sergeant stared for a moment and then stamped away too mad to speak.—New York Sun.

Curious Laws In That Country Gov erning the Crime of Murder. A Persian murderer may pay blood money tn lieu of bls own life. The inujner tn which this Is calculated Is one of tbe most complicated tblngs about Perslau law. A woman Is worth only half a man, and so a man cannot be executed for tbe murder of a mere woman. A busband whose wife bad been killed by hl« steward was obliged first to pay half tbe steward's blood price to tbe man's relations, and tbus the steward, bavlng been reduced to tbe value of half a man, equal to one whole woman, was legally executed. From this principle it follows tbat a man wbo has killed two women can be condemned to death, as equality la not Infringed. If the murder of a woman be committed by several men tbe friends, upon whose Initiative alone any proceedings can take place, can de mand tbe deatb of but one of tbe mur derers and always by paying tbe dif ference in tbe price of blood. On tbe same ground If two women murder a man the deatb of both can be demand ed. Evidently one could make a consid erable fortuue In Persia by getting one's men folk murdered by a woman apiece Much the same plan Is carried out In tbe case of minor Injuries, with this curious addition—that tbe part of tbe body paid for Is considered to be tbe property of tbe one wbo pays tbe blood money—London Times. •W ao th« Hills, U««d In All CountotoB • nJ Never Altar. la tbe American and English navlMk M well as In tbe merchant marines, ars found ulckuames tbat have been to use since before men dreamed tbat there was land on tbe other side of tbe western ocean. Tradition, most toflexlble of all rule«, governs them, ■nd they never alter, whether tbe ship clears from tbe Golden Gate or from London docks. Rome of tbe nicknames •re of obvious origin; others seem to gain force by tbelr apparent lack of reason. For instance, wby should all men Mined Wright be called "Sbiner?” Clark Is Invariably "Nobby.” Green to “Jimmy,” and a White is a “Knock er." “Spud" Murphy explains Itself, as does "Dusty" Miller. "Lofty” and “Bborty" do not need to present cards to tbelr mates when they sign on, and It is not worth while for tbe bru nette sailor to resent it wbeu a friend ly chap halls him as “Nigger." He can't whip the entire crew, one after ' tbe other. Tbe rigid forms of the quarterdeck do not hold during the watch below, and the captain Is tbe “Skipper," and , the first lieutenant Is familiarly "Jim- [ my tbe One.” On fighting ships the gunnery lieutenant is "Gunnery Jack,” or, more briefly, "Guns," the tor- pedo lieutenant Torpedo Jack” or “Sparks" and tbe navigatlug ofleer "Tbe Navy."
