A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE.
The Climax of a Woman's Return Trip
to Her Home.
A New York woman had a curious
and tragic experience, one that seems
more like a grewsome page from
French fiction than the plain recital of
fact.
This woman started out with her
husband to accompany him part way
on a business trip lie was taking to
a southern city. It was arranged that
she should stop to visit some friends
at a point about haltway on tbe jour¬
ney and after a two days' stay should
proceed and rejoiu her husband at his
destination and return with him. She
made her visit and when she reached
the town where she had expected to
meet her husband found that he was
not at the hotel where he had been
stopping, but had left hurriedly for
New York the day before. She waited
long enough to send telegrams to her
husband’s office and to tlieir bouse in
New York asking if he had arrived
and to receive a negative answer from
each place. had been unable

was on the road, she decided to return
home. She was disappointed, but not
at all perturbed, as she Journeyed
northward. Slio had to change cars
twice on tho way. Each change in¬
volved a wait of ten or fifteen min¬
utes at a small junction town. As she
was pacing up and down the station
platform at each of these places she
saw a big, pine covered coffin box un
loaded from the express car and put
aboard the northbound train. At Jer¬
sey’ City the same box was being un¬
loaded, and it crossed the ferry with
her In a hearse. She noted Idly that
one of the hearse horses was white
and the other black. She went first
to her husband's office, but the hour
was late in the afternoon, and It was
closed. Then she went uptown to her
home.
As she was about to enter the apart¬
ment house a hearse drawn by a
white horse and a black one drove up,
and the undertaker climbed down and
pressed the button below her name on
the row of call bells at the entrance.
She asked him what It meant. Think¬
ing she was some Inquiring stranger,
the undertaker told her that he was
bringing home the body of a man who
had died on a train near tbe city
whence she had just come and that
tho undertaker who had taken charge
of the body had forwarded it in com¬
pliance with the dying man's request.
In a daze the woman asked the dead
man’s name. Then she fell fainting
to the floor. It was her husband.—

JUSTICE IN HAITI.
Why a Trader Was Consigned to Jail
by a Magistrate.
In most lands that maintain a court
of justice the Institution commands
the respect of the public. It has in
its hands the means of securing an
outward show of respect under any
circumstances, in Haiti this power
appears to be made a source of rev¬
enue, according to a story told by H.
Prichard in “Where Black Rules
White.”
A Haitian owed a trader $28. A
judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
$4 a week into court was given, and
the trader agreed to send a messenger
to the magistrate every week for the
money.
In due time he sent for the first In¬
stallment and was Informed that the
Haitian had not paid up. but that he
should be put in prison for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result One morning the Haitian went
to the trader’s store. What good, he
asked, would come to the trader if he.
poor man. were thrown into prison?
Let the trader forgive him his debt
and earn thereby untold rewards in a
future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter of remission, which he went
off to present to the magistrate. The
affair was settled, but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him.
ne forthwith returned to the trader
and asked him If he had received the
$8 already paid into court. The trader
looked surprised and said that he had
received nothing.
“Then, since you have remitted the
debt, that $8 is mine.” said the Hai¬
tian.
Accordingly he went to the court to
present his claim. The magistrate at
once committed him to prison A con¬
sul who had heard tbe story asked tile
magistrate what the man was sent to
prison for.
“For contempt of court.” was the
reply.
