Though pawnbrokers are not sup: posed to have any friends, only custom- ers, there is a story that is told in New York that shows that they sometimes stretch their rules—if the right man comes alonig. A certain racing man had been having a very hard streak of luck. If there were twenty-one horses in the race, his choice would never be better than No. 20. Finally his money ‘was all gone; also all of his negotiable property. When ‘he had spent his last dollar for breakfast, he turned into the pawnshop where all his valuables were being cared for, and they amounted to considerable. “I'd like to have $500 on this,” he said to the proprietor, laying down an ordinary lead pencil on the counter. ‘Without a change of countenance, the pawnbroker made out a ticket and passed the money over the counter. Right there the racing man’s for: tunes seemed to change. Every one of his selections proved an easy winner, and, as he pushed his luck, he was able at the end of the week to redeem his pencil and all his other valuables. —New York Globe.

An official of the department of jus- tice sald in Washington of a rumor brought to him for confirmation by a reporter: “This rumor springs from ignorance, crass ignorance of the law. I am sur- prised that you should have credited it. “The originator of that rumor is as plainly ignorant of the law as a cer- tain schoolboy was of French. “This boy's father said to him one night at dinner: “‘Well, how are you getting on with your French, my son? “ ‘Very well thank you, sir, the lad replied. “The father beamed with pleasure. “‘Ask politely In French for some peas,’ he said. “There was an awkward pause. |l Then— “‘But, father,’ sald the boy, ‘I don’t want any peas.”” Meeting Old Neptune. An inmate of Sallors’ Snug Harbor In speaking of the ceremony connected with “crossing the line,” when Father Neptune presides over the initiation of the men who have never crossed the equator, sald: “I got my introduction to old Nep- tune while I was In the merchant serv- ice. I got my lather and shave and ducking thirty yeurs ago and helped Initiate many seafaring men and lands- men since then. With hot tar handy, Neptune’s crew often took libertles which would not be allowed on board a man-of-war. The skipper used to| look on from aloft, but he was blind as a bat to things that he did not wish to see, and the men knew enough to make no complaint. I know that I was mad clear through at what I got, but I con- tented myself with taking it out of the next man.” Not Up to Date.
