A Young Weiitnril I.uwyur I'lcmls I : is First Case.. "And talking of Nevada. I see my old friend Uill Statu' is candidate for pov ernor," said the spealier to a man on the Kansas City Times. "I have known the Stone family ever sinee they moved to Nevada, and 1 heard Hill Stone plead his first case. It was a good many years ago, more than twenty, anyway. I do not remember the name of the .jm!;,'e, but a notorious horse thic- as up for trial on a charge of stealing rattle. As he had no counsel the court appointed Bill Stone to defend the case. Stone took his man over to a window and talked to him for a few minutes, then announced that he was ready for trial. 'We plead guilty, your honor, to the charge against us,' announced the young lawyer. The court wasted no time in giving a verdict, for horse steal ing was a heinous offense in those days in this part of the country, and con demned the man to fifteen years in the penitentiary. " 'But, judge, we plead guilty,' yelled Stone, expressions of amaze ment and disappointment alternating on his face. "'Fifteen years,' repeated the jud;re. "'But, judge, we plead guilty,' re peated Bill Stone, raising his long arms like windmills. Bvit tho judge was ob durate. " 'If that is tho case,' said Stone, 'we will arguo the case,' and ho forthwith started in upon the defense. For thirty minutes he argued and pleaded with that eloquenco that is characteristic of him and at the end of his harangue he sat down and watched the effect of his words. The judge smiled and made tho sentence five years. Hill Stone had won his first case." SOME REMARKABLE FEATS. Socio of tho Trick., or u Wltsnri Giant of tho Fur ftiistt. A traveler who made a tour of tho Orient and who, by the way, is some thing of a magician himself, tells tho following wonderful story of Ms ex perience with some of tho wizards of tho far east: "One of these was begun by the largest man in the group, who threw a great coil of ribbons far toward tho sky. As it uncoiled in mid-air a small hawk seemed to bo liberated from it. Ho circled around a few times, seized the ends of tho ribbons in his beak and then made off toward a small, white sloud which apparently formed before aur eyes. "From this cloud there now slid to the gro tin d a bnnke, a frog and a smiling native baby, which one of tho wizard's 'wives' caught in her arms and held out for tho wondering crowd to inspect. : Next, all of the magicians save tho larger (a perfect giant in stature) now left the place. The giant then sat down upon tho ground. He then spread a largo colored umbrella in such u man ner as to wholly conceal himself from our party. Calling me to his side he exacted a promise from mo to remove tho umbrella after tho expiration of ex actly five minutes by the watch. I did as he had directed and was unspeak ably surprised to find that the giant had disappeared, though the earth where ho had been sitting was perfectly solid. "Returning to the hotel we found our miracle-working giant sitting serenely on tho porch, When I handed him his umbrella ho opened it with a quick jerk, disclosing my watch and chain hanging in a slipnooso from one of the ribs." LUDICROUS CrtOEG ROOMS. Some of tho Queer Thtnpi Said Ilofore tho iMarriaso Altar. Marriage is always a serious business, but not infrequently it has ludicrous accompaniments. An English paper relates that a widower, no longer young, gave the clergyman who officiat ed nt his second marriage a good deal of trouble by his stupidity. He seemed to be possessed by somo spirit of con trariety. When told to give his right hand, he gave his left, When tho minister ssiid: "Say this after me," he immediately replied: "Say this after me." Then, when the words he was to repent were given to him, he was stolidly silent. At last he seemed to be aware that tho minister was somewhat disturbed, and in the middle of tho service ho up set the reverend gentleman's gravity by volunteering this apology: "You sec, sir, it's so long since I was married afore that you must excuse my forgetting these things." At another time a couple who had been married by a civil process by an officer of tho law, that is to say were taken with a desire to bo married again in church, as the law allows. The min ister, in tho course of the ceremony, asked the usual question: "John, wilt thou have this woman to bo thy wedded wife?" "Why, sir," said the astonished groom to the more astonished minister, "I told you we was married two years ago!" Euttous and Coinbg Mario of Ulood. Thero is largo factory ut a small town near Chicago employing about 100 or 150 workers, which is wholly given over to the manufacture of useful articles from waste animal blood. At certain seasons of the year this unique factory uses from 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of fresh blood per day. It is iirst convened into thin sheets by evaporation and cer tain chemical processes, and ufterward worked up Into a variety of useful ar ticles, such as combs, buttons, earrings, belt clasps, bracelets, etc... Tons of these articles are sent to all parts of the world every year from this "bloody" Sucker stata manufactory. (JroKMuess of tho Itohln. All suburban regions now abound in robins, but tho robin in autumn is only in outward semblance the same bird as tho delightful sonnetepr of May and June. He is a dumb creature now, .no longer devoting time and thought to love alone, but interested only in gross material things.
