On the day set for trial the defendant appeared with counsel. Both gentle- men not unnaturally objected to the constitution of the court. “Why,” demanded the justice, “do you deny that I am'a justice of the peace?”’ The lawyer would not contest this point, but argued that such a construc- tion of the law was against all sense and reason. A vigorous altercation ensued, and then the judge remarked that not for the world would he have two gentle- men suppose him governed by any per- sonal considerations. “I will there- fore,” he added gracefully, ‘“render judgment against myself and then appeal to the supreme court.” “But the mischief of it was,” sald the justice, relating the story after- ward, “that when my judgment got to the supreme court it was unanimously reaffirmed.” The Dog's Tail. A prominent citizen was on trial 1 to bring suit against a| charged with harboring a vicious dog. The attorney for the defense had been consulting a dog expert and had learned that if a dog holds his tail up over his back when he barks he is not angry, while if he holds it straight out behind him he is in a belligerent, blood- thirsty frame of mind. Anxious to air his newly acquired information, the G. E,, of this city. Miss Viola Spencer left on the noon train today for her home in St. Paul, after spending a very pleasant week with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Carter. “Jeff” St. Peter and W. A.

Misses Jessie ane Tinnie Pender- gast, daughters of L. G. Pendergast, the custodian of the old State Capi- tol at St. Paul, returned Saturday afternoon from a two weeks’ trip down the great lakes to Buffalo and other points. The Worship of Serpents. The small town of Werda, in the kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for 1ts “temple of serpents,” a long building in which the priests keep upward of a thousand serpents of all sizes, which they feed with the birds and frogs brought to them as offerings by the natives. These serpents, many of them of enormous size, may be seen hanging from the beams across the ceiling, with their heads pointing downward and in all sorts of strange contortions. The priests make the small serpents go through various evolutions by lightly touching them with a rod, but they do not venture to touch the largest ones, some of which are large enough to in- fold a bullock in their coils. It often happens that some of these serpents make their way out of the temple into the town, and the priests have the greatest difficulty in coaxing them back. To kill a serpent intention- ally is a crime punished with death, and if a European were to kill one the authority of the king himself would scarcely suffice to save his life. Any one killing a serpent unintentionally must inform the prlest of what has occurred and go through the course of purification which takes place once a year. Artificial Limbs. “A manufacturer or dealer in arti- ficial limbs who wears a cork arm or leg himself is much better equipped for business than his competitors who are sound,” said a man who uses a cork leg. “In fact, it has become a sort of unwritten law among us to patronize such men when possible. Sentimental reasons may have something to do with the case, but I guess the chief reason 1s that we consider that if a man can make a limb for himself that fits like the paper on the wall he can make it for others. Manufacturers of arti- ficlal limbs know this, and frequently you will find an advertisement like this: ‘The So-and-so artificial leg is built by a man who Is wearing one and who knows from experience what you want for comfort’ This is a strong argument, for it's no easy thing to get an artificial limb that just fits. Per- sons who have trouble getting shoes that are just right are In great luck compared to us.”—New York Sun, An Admiral’s Stories. One of ‘the English admirals has a cholce collection of stories at the ex- pense of laymen placed in office at the admiralty as a consequence of a turn of the political wheel. Of one lord of the admiralty he told a delighted house of commons how, recelving a feport of disaster to a ship couched in technical phrase, he wrote a reply remonstrating with the officer for his use of bad lan- guage. Another clvilian lord, looking over a chart and observing that one of his majesty’s ships, homeward bound, passed within a space of two inches on the chart an island where cast- away sailors were sheltering, wanted to know why it could not call and re- lleve them. The admiral explained that the two inches on the chart meant a distance at sea of 4,000 miles.—Lon- don Strand Magazine. . An Irish Tale. One day an Irishman, having put his hat upon a gate post by which he lay down to sleep, sprang up at midnight and, mistaking the object for an en- emy, dealt it a desperate cut with his Beythe. Percelving his mistake, the man gave thanks to heaven that he had taken it off before lying down. “For,” sald he, “had my head been in that hat, ’tis ten to one I had laid it} open with my scythe, and 'tis a dead man I would have been seein’ mesilf at this minute!”—London Captain. lawyer began cross questioning the prosecuting witness thus: “Now, did you notlce the position in which this dog’s tail was held when he came at you?’ “I did not,” said the witness, “for that was not the end from which I antleipated injury. I had another end in view. Now, if the dog had been a hornet”— “No levity, sir!” thundered the attor- ney. “Answer the question. In what position was the dog’s tail when he came at you?”’ “I believe, sir,” faltered the terrified witness, “that it was behind him.”— Chicago News. The King’s Cock Crower. In the good old time there was an English court officlal known as the king’s cock crower. It seems a strange office. Why did the king require a cock crower, and why could not the common barn door vatiety serve his majesty’s purpose? The reason, as you shall see, ‘was that the barn door variety cannot be depended upon for times and hours, and he has never been persuaded to ob- serve Lent. Now, this was a pious cus- tom and a religious duty. All through Lent the king's cock crower crowed instead of calling the hours of the night in the palace. He began on Ash Wednesday, when he entered the hall in which the king’s supper was served, and then crowed the h¢ur in the pres- ence of the royal party. The meaning of the custom is obvious. It was only one of the many ways in which the history of the Christian religion was brought home to the minds of people before the reading of the gospel in the vernacular. The office was continued down to the year 1822.—London Queen. “The Greatest Wicower.” This is said to be the title of a genu- ine essay evolved some years ago by a boy in a Welsh board school: “King Henry VIII, was the greatest widower that ever lived. He was born at Anno Domini in the year 1066. He had 510 wives besides children. The first was beheaded and executed. The second was revoked. Sh2 never smiled again. But she said the word ‘Calais’ would be found on her heart after her death. The greatest man in this reign ‘was Lord Sir Garret Wolsey. He was sir named the Boy Bachelor. He was born at the age of 15, unmarried. Henry VIIL was succeeded on the throne by his great-grandmother, the beautiful and accomplished Mary, queen of Scots, sometimes known as the Lady of the Lake!” _ Helping the Burglar Out. “John,” she whispered, “there’s a burglar in the drawing room. He has Just knocked against the plano and hit several keys at once.” “T'll go down,” said he. “Oh, John, don’t do anything rash!” “Rash! Why, I'm going to help him. You don’t suppose he can re- move the piano from the house with- out assistance!”—London Throne. An Omission, Magistrate—What is the charge against you this time? Boggs—They cotched me a-stealing oranges, yer worship. Magistrate—Didn’t I tell you when you were here before not to steal anything more? Boggs—No, yer wor- ship; you said not to steal any more lemons, but yer didn’t say a word about oranges.—London Graphie. 4 Wide Awake. Fuddle—You know Stocks, don’t you? Doctor—Yes, indeed. He is now a pa- tlent of mine. Fuddle—Pretty wide awake man, isn’t he? Doctor—I should say so. ‘I am treating him for insom- nia.—London Tit-Bits. Quite the Contrary. The Sympathetic Friend—It must be very hard to lose money at the races. Smith (a plunger)—Hard! Hang it, old chap, it's the easiest thing in the ‘world!—London Opinion, There Is no use running. "To set out in time is the main point—La Fon- taine, 55 Pk, Not Far to Go, The reporter hurried up to the scene of the accident. A workman engaged on some scaffolding kad missed his footing and had fallen many feet into the street below. Then the reporter went off to interview the unfortunate man, who luckily had escaped with a very severe shaking and a few nasty bruises, and asked sympathetically: “Did you have vertigo, my 'man?” “Oh, no, sir; only about thirty-five te;t. Quite far enough (or me, though.” —Pea ¥ | |from kidney complaint. Laundering Shirt Waists. Mathilde, the popular washerwoman, having sprained her wrist, was unable to do her ‘week’s ironing, but she stood over the young Irish girl she had hired | and directed the work. “Maybe, Bridget,” observed Mathilde, with a watchful ‘eye on her under- study, “youwll t'ink, you, dat all shirt vaist ees iron alike. Maybe you'll t'ink she ees som’ casy job for iron shirt vaist for half dose lady of different shape. “But non, Bridget, she ees mos’ dif- ficult. Som’ .of dose vaist ees for dose so fat Mme.

Congressional Bell Signals. On the floor of the house the door- keeper has his desk, and it is here that the bells are struck that give notice of the. needs of congress. One bell calls for tellers when the house is in committee of the whole; two bells in- dicate a call for yeas and nays; three declare a recess; with four bells the red light over the door goes out; five bells mean a “call of the house,” under which the sergeant at arms Is supposed to summarily arrest any member on sight and bring him in, whether on foot or horseback. Any member who is not present at a call of the house is subjected to a severe reprimand. Look- ing down the corridor, the going out of the red light gives the curious sug- gestion of the tail end of a passenger train dashing through a tunnel. While the red light burns bright and clear it means that congress is under way, but when the light winks and goes out then the visitors understand that the. wheels of legislation have ceased to re- volve.—National Magazine. Countermanded. A very devout clergyman had just married a couple and, as was his cus- tom, offered a fervent prayer, invoking the divine blessing upon them. As they seemed to be worthy folk and not overburdened with this world’s goods, he prayed, among other things, for their material prosperity and besought the Lord to greatly increase the man’s business, laying much stress on this point, In filling out the blanks it became necessary to ask the man his business, and, to the minister’s horror, he said, “I keep a saloon.” In telling the story to his wife after- ward the clergyman said that as he wrote down the occupation he whis- pered: “Lord, you needn't answer prayer.”—Philadelphia Ledger. that Lord Kelvin and the Cable. It is perhaps not generally known that the success of the Atlantic cable was due to the calculations and ex- periments of the late Lord Kelvin, at that time plain William Thomson. He discovered that the current through a long cable would arrive gradually at the receiving end and devised the ap- paratus which rendered it possible to utilize such a current for making the Morse signals. It was through disre- gard of his theoretical predictions that the first Atlantic cable, in 1S58, was ruined by too powerful currents. With- out his mirror galvanometer to trans- late Into visible signals the delicate Impulses received through the cable the enterprise would have been a com- plete failure.
