"You are charged with having en tered a gambling house in this city and played fan tan for money," ex jilained Juilgf Austin. "Is this so?" The question was echoed in Chinese by Interpreter Saumlers and answered l>y a mighty chorus. "Here, here, not all at once," cried tho Judge. "One at a time. Are you guilty °r not guilty?" A lengthy conversation between the interpreter and the Celestials followed, after which it was formally announced that they were forced in the face of Justice to plead guilty. "Fifty dollars each," whispered the judge, feelingly.

"Yes, Blr," he replied; "or, that Is, you hay« seen me on previous occa. sions and under the same unfortunate auspices." , "When were you in last?" coaxed the judge. "Yesterday, sir." "Well, Paul, I'm afraid that we will have to put you aside for a little and think over your case," exclaimed the judge, as he wiped away a tear. "Your case Is a pathetic one and we will do j what we can for you."
