THIS COURT “KNEW HERSELF*
Origin of Expression Is Attributed to
a Missourian Named
Blackburn.
We frequently hear the expression,
i "If The court knows itself, and it
: thinks it does," but few persons are
awaro of the origin thereof,
j The individual who gave birth to it
was a Pike county Missourian named
Blackburn, who flourished in the west
i many years ago. Blackburn xgn away
from home when he was a mere boy
and sought his fortune in the west,
Where he grew to manhood as an In
dian figme'F, hunter, trapper attd moun
tain guide. Although not an educated
man be was possessed of great acu
men, to which was united a keen wit.
.When gold was discovered in Califor
tua Blackburn was one of the first to
proceed thither. The miners, as a
sort of Joke, elected him alcalde, an
offlee ttypt combined {lutleaol
mayor and Justice of the peace. TCte
first case coming before the new al
calde was that of a gambler who, while
Hddep his horse oyer a
can woman. She was serl
took place lp the largest
cabin lp the neighborhood. The gamb
ler, who was rich, hhd retailed able
counsel to defend hlni: Alcalde Black
burn called the young., woman to the
witness stand. She. told a straightfor
ward, honest story. When she had
flniish'ed the alcalde peremptorily end
ed the trial. The attorney for the de
fendant protested vigorously, but the
alcalde disposed of his protest thus:
"If this court knows herself, and she
thinks she do, I fine you $50 damages
and assess upon you the cost of puttin'
this young woman In good condition.”
When asked what he meant by “good
condition,” the alcalde replied that the
gambler must pay the doctor's bill and
all other costs of the young woman’s
sickness."
ONE EVENING IN BUDAPEST
Man Who WantB Window Open in
Bedroom Is Regarded aa a
Lunatic.
My train arrives at Budapest at
7:20 o’clock. At 7:40 o’clock I am ait
the hotel, and eight o’clock In the
opera house, where “Tristan und
Isolde” Is the offering. Accounts of
that opera house have depicted it as
one of the wonders of the world, but
it isn't. The building is substantial
and of good proportions, but over
ornate. A rough guess iJ that it seats
not more than fifteen hundred. The
audience was in all sorts of attire.
As a critic recently said of a perform
ance of grand opera in Chicago,
“there was a costume for every hour
of the day.” The performance was
fairly good. Budapest, often referred
to as one of the most advanced cities
of Europe, gives more than one re
minder of Chicago. It is advanced in
the sense that under artificial stim
ulus it his. grown very rapidly in the
last generation, and, therefore, has a
greater proportion of buildings of
modern type, but to say, as many do,
that if: is more cultured, than the older
cities of Europe li‘nonsense.
At the 'hotel In orge^that I might
have a private bathroom it was nec
essary to assign me to ah apartmenf
of the royal suite. As in St. Peters
burg, there were double sashes from
top to bottom of each window, and on
the sill between the sashes was a
small mattress-llke arrangement ' ef
fectually blocking1 the passage of air.
Not. only this,’ hut the maid on her
last round draws heavy damask cur
tains across each window. When T
rebel and Insist on having both sashes1
of at leait one windbw wide open It it
necessary to send for tiuihcjnse car:

lunatic.—An American's “Sidelights
on Europe," In the New York Sun.
How He Timed Hie Talk.
A successful salesman for a hard
ware line of goods had a novel way
last season of exciting.at least a
momentary Interest in his prospective
customers In the new territory he had
been given. On entering the office of
his prospect his first remark was:
“Mr. Smith, we are both business
men with whom time Is money. I
only ask for three minutes of yours,
as I can only give you three minutes
of mine. Let’s be sure we keep to the
limit.”
Thereupon he pulled from his pock
et quickly and placed on the desk of
his hearer, well within his vision and
reach, a neat little article of the same
shape as and patterned after the well
known hour glass, but containing only
sand enough to require three minutes
for Its passage from the upper to the
lower compartment.
“You keep tab and don't let me
overtalk the limit."—System.
A 53 Point De$r Head.
A Bangor resident tells a story of
the largest head secured during the
Maine deer season this fall.
The other day F. K. Smith, a Grind
i stone guide, bought to Bangor a 63
point deer head, which he sold to a
\ local firm of taxidermists for a noarrl
' nal sum. The head rivals the 60 point
| buck killed on Grand lake In October,
! for which E. S. Cuark of Bar Harbor
paid $200.—Boston Record.
Against the Battleship.
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, who Is
vice-president of the National Consume
ers’ league, says that when women gel
I the ballot 'they will use the money f$f
schools thift now gbefc to. build hattl®
ships. When women get the bailed
there will be no need for battleships,
