A lawyer from New Orleana tells
the atory about a jury trail ta a little

of one negro charged with stealing
from another, the Interest of the white
people of the place, of whom there
was a conspicuous minority, was not
sufficient ly Involved for It to make any
difference.
“When the evidence was all In and
the prosecuting attorney, a white man,

without argument, the accused, for-
tunately, had no counsel—the judge,

THE CASE OF
THE CARVERS
By Frank Huibwt ORw
(Copyright, by Daily Story Fub. Co.)
The prstty little peacbue-and-cream
wife of Carver dropped her evening
paper with a murmur of dainty horror.
Carver raised hla eye* from the sport-
ing pngs of his own dally and turned
them Inquiringly townrd the golden-
haired vision In pink.
“I think It's perfectly dreadful!" ahe
exclaimed “Don’t you, Dick*"
“Of oourse. What ta It?” he asked,
smiling.
■ “Just to think of n man’s being ee
Inconsistent and fnlss and—and cruel."
young Mrs. Carver went on.
Carver’s smile faded. His eye-
brows lifted s trifle. Then he said:
"I don’t know what you mean."
Ho aaid that aloud. To himself ho
kept musing, “I wonder—- ?“
Didn't you read It?” queried she. In-
dicating with a delicate forefinger an
article in the paper. “This Affertoa
divorce esse, you know. Just think—
If you can!—of a man's doing anything
like that. I don't believe a man could
aver have loved a girl and then—Ob.
It’a shocking! And they hadn't been
married a year; were hardly out of
tholr honeymoon—tike ue, Dick.”
Carver shook hls bead deprecatlngly
and fidgeted at hls smoking jacket
and then remarked:
“Who was the other girl? Chorus
"Then you did read It?”
"No—er—why, I—1 glanced at the

“Oh-h-h, Dick, Dick!” (Her voice
wae wavering dangerously I “Are

Oh, you aren't surprised, you aren’t
shocked—Dick!"
“Why, you allly dear," Carver
laughed, Jumping to her aide and fold-
ing her tenderly tn hla arms “Non-

was our honeymoon. You don’t know
how much I love you. girl. I could
not begin to tell you. Just this morn-

It had haughtily declined to stop or
even slacken speed at a town so
small, and those at the depot saw the
mail elerk disdainfully kick the limp
gray pouch out the door as the train
whlssed past.
Now the orowd had followed Jimmy
Miller, the assistant station agent, to
the Uttfo postofflee, and was waiting
to see If by any chance a letter or
card or circular had come.
“Anything for me, Simon?” Inquired
old man Davie from the Buck Creek
region, thrusting hls whiskered face
into the little window.
The postmaster looked at him cold-
ly, as befitted a government servant
engaged In an Important duty, and
made no reply. The crowd laughed
and old man Davis became red under
hie tobacco-stained whiskers.
"Huhhe said. “Jest because eome
people kin hand out half a dozen let-
ters a day they think they're some-
thing." He turned to the window
again.
"Lookye here, yon little bald-heath
ed runt” he aald. "You gimme my
mall, If there’s any. I’m In a hurry.”
The postmaster swelled visibly. Such
talk to an employe of the government
was unbearable.
~?0ii you know who you're talkin'
to?*’ be demanded, thrusting hls face
Into the window from within. “When
I get ready I’ll—"
Tben It was that the people assem-
bled saw an astounding and awful
thing A plain farmer from up Buck
creek had the postmaster by the back
of bis neck and was pulling him
through the window.
Getting bint outside he shook him
as though be were a sack from which
It was desired to shake the bran.
"You measley little, no-count, fab-
heeded whipper-snapper!” he cbor-
up and down.
“Last winter your family was starv-
in’ because you were too blasted lasy
to work, and I fed 'em. Now yon sit
up here and act funny with me Next
thing like thet I see I'U duck you ta

postmaster Into hls partitioned cor

The postmaster straightened hla
collar, brushed hls breeches and ran
a curved finger across hls moist fore-
head.

whose feet are as fragrant to the

The sbah of Persia has sn nmaxlng
array of titles, ranging from sbah-In-
shah (king of kings) to such
poetical attributes as “the roee of de-
light." “the branch of honor" and “the
mirror of virtue;” While hls majesty
of Arracan used to be proclaimed as
“emperor of Arracan, possessor of the
white elephant and the two earrings,
and in virtue of this possession legiti-
mate heir of Pegu and Brama; lord
of the 1> provinces of Bengal and of
the 12 kings who place their heads us-

The king of Achem boasted almost
as many high dignities es there are
days in a year; among them "the
sovereign of the universe, whose body
la luminous aa the sun; whom God
created to be aa accomplished as the
moon at her plenitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star; a king
as spiritual aa a hall la round, who,
when he rises, shades all hls people,

But perhaps the most remarkable
■title any monarch was ever proud to

mile* from Capt Hatters*. The un-
known continued on her way. and was

schooner, with n greet hole torn In
her bows, began to tattle, and her
crew was launching th* boat* when
seen and rescued by n passing south

then two-thirds full of water and bows

the crew had been taken off th*
schooner’* stem roe* 1a the air sad
