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 Concluding that he to reach her by telegraph while she Covington News Correspondents GOLD WATCH CONTEST The correspondent receiving the highest number of votes up to September first will be given a Handsome Gold Watch.

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.— New York Tress. 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.
