Seeking a momt's rest from his assistants, his insanity experts, and the hordes of newspaper then cover- ingd the trial of Harry K. Thaw, Mr. Jerome dived into the subway at Worth street, pulled a little volume from his pocket found a seat in an up- town train and started to read during a round trip to anywhere and back an. der the surface of the city. In the seat next to the district at- torney was a man apparently inst ar- rived ln New Y,ork who was reading a report of the Thaw trial in one of the afternoon papers. “Now, what d'ye think. of that!" suddenly exclaimed the newspaper reader to the district attorney. "What. sir?" asked Jerome. “This fellow Jerome has proved this fellow Thaw insane and acne. and the counsel for the defense have proved Whatcher in the trying to get at, anyhow? think of Jerome's position case?” “i think Jerome has a pretty clear idea of what he's doing." replied the district attorney. At least, he has been doing everything in his power to satisfy his conscience and to make a fight against the unfortunate survi- val of an old statute of insanity.” "You mean Section 20?" asked the newspaper reader. Mr. Jerome was arguing with his casual acquaintance when the train reached Fourteenth street. There seemed no end in sight for the Thaw case, so he bounced from his seat and hurried out. of the car. A negro sitting near the quuaclous newspaper reader rolled his eyes and said so that all in the car could hear him: “Mali goodness, them twogemmen sho' has brainstorms. " .__._,..____..... HAD BEEN PAID ONCE. Booker T. Washington when in III- dlanapolis the other day told the story of a negro preacher in the South who was having some difficulty with his flock. "The old fellow came to me and asked me to help him out.” said Mr. Washington. "I went down to the lit- tle backwoods country church with him one Sunday. incidentally. i took louers a little and found that they had not paid the old man his salary. “Upon this basis of information i started in to admonish the members of the congregation. I told them that they should pay their pastor; that he had to live; that he had to have his salary. “And in all I was making ll pretty good speech. I had most of the cou- gregatlon convinced; i think. "But there was one old fellow in the back of the church that wusmumbllng during my talk. He would snicker a little and duck his eyes below the old soft but he held up to his face. “We ain‘t goln' to pay ”[111 any more salary this year.’ " ‘Brother. why are you not going to pay your pastor any more Salary this year?" i asked him. “ ‘Because we done paid him for . them sermons last year.‘ was the de- cisive response." MIRROR SMOTE HiM. (New York Globe.) The mirrors which serve as mural decorations for certain restaurants in this city are snares and delusions in more ways than one. Not only do they serve to make a room appear to be four times larger that it really is. but they also embarrass a human be- ing in a peculiarly humiliating manner. An impatient. elderly man. of (Hg- nified mien, entered one of these ll- lusionary eating houses in Courtlandt street yesterday. The room extended. apparently. well into the middle of the block. Making up his mind to sit in the extreme rear he hurried back. But he did not count on the. mirror. it met him half way. smote him upon the nose, and sent his hat rolling on the sawdustcovered floor. Looking direful things at the person who had apparently run him down, the man glowered upon himself. Then he could do nothing but laugh sheep lshly. inwardly cursing the mirror. Everybody else laughed also, in- cludingthe waitress. who added the consoling observation: “Oh, somebedy does that every day." « OBITUARY RECORD. MRS. CORNELIA WILSON.
