"7 Judgmant Was Confirmed. A certain oid time justice of the peace, wish to bring suit against a citizen, ¢ the statutes and found th: might he bro of the peace, “Well, th ," thought he, “I'll just try the case myself.” Straightway he made out a writ against his adversary and signed it. 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 Jjustice of the peace?” o The lawyer would not contest this point, but argued that such a construe- tlon of the law was against all sense and reason. A vigorous altercation ensued, and then the judge remarked that mot for the world would he have two gentle- men suppese 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,” said 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 charged with harboring a viclous 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 lawyer began cross questioning the prosecuting witness thus: “Now, did you notice the position in ‘which this dog’s tail was held when he eame at you?”’ “I did not,” sald the witness, “for that was not the end from which I anticipated 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 tall 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 Hnglish court official .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 varlety 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 plous 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 hour 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 Christlan 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 Widower.” This 18 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. She never smiled again. But she.sald the word ‘Calals’ 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!” Proving a Rumor. During one of the Mardl Gras testiv- ities at New Orleans a couple, evidently from the provinces wandered into one of the numerous little French restau- rants. The lady scanned the menu. “Here's entree,” she sald. “What is 1t? Shall I order it?’ “Good heavens, no!” replied her com- panion. “I’ve always heard that the French eat it, but not for us. You'd better order ham and eggs: An entry’s a race horse.”—Harper's. A Too Many Weddings. “What brought you here, .my poor man?’ {nquired the prison visitor. “Well, 1ady,” replied the prisoner, “1 guess my trouble started in attendin’ too many weddin’s.” “Ahl You learned to drink there, or steal. perhaps ?” Y = “No, lady, I was always the bride- s Fastidious Smokers. “Did you know,” asked one member of a group In the hotel lobby, “that an Indian I8 much more fastidious than a white man in the matter of smoking? I saw when 1 was in Montana several of their war dances and the councils afterward. You know, they sit in a circle on the ground and pass the pipe of good fellowship around In silence. Bach man takes two or three puffs and then hands the pipe to his next neighbor. But if you notice you will see that In the whole circuit which it makes the mouthpiece is never wet. The red man merely lays the end of the stem against his. lower lip and, keeping his mouth partly open, draws a deep breath. Removing the pipe, he exhales the smoke and then perhaps repeats the process, but he never puts the mouthpiece into his mouth In the common ‘paleface’ fashion. If he is asked to smoke a peace pipe after a white man, he first wipes off the end of the plpestem where it has been In the previous smoker's mouth.”—New York Times. The Lecturer’s Subject. “I call my lecture ‘Glass.'" said the lecturer, “not because It says anything about that subject, but because of the nature of it. To begin with, it is the sort of lecture that anybody can see through. Then I am liable to make a number of breaks in its delivery, after which it will be full of funny cracks. In addition, it requires a lot of sand to produce it, to say nothing of the hot air employed. The agents have blown it pretty much to the commit- tees. “Another point of resemblance be- tween my lecture and glass is that when cut it is much more valuable. I shan’t refer to the subject any more, though it is not a safe one to drop. The principal reason for my selection of this name anyway is my knowledge of the fascination foreign titles have for the American people.” But noticlng that the audience had hurried away the lecturer desisted.— Chicago News. Every One of Them a Bird. ° A current newspaper item is as fol- lows: “The wife of a Methodist minis- ter In West Virginia has been married three times. Her malden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin, her second Sparrow, and the present one’s name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swann, and another was a Jay, but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk avenue, Eagleville, Canary islands, and the fellow who wrote this article s a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family.”—St. Louls Re- nublic. Only One Alternative. A cynic was smiling at the extrava. gant attentions that are lavished by the rich upon pet dogs. He spoke of the canine operations for appendicitis, the canine tooth crownings, the canine wardrobes, that occur in New York, and then he said: “How servants hate these pampered curs! At a house where I was calling one warm day the fat and pompous butler entered the drawing room and said: “‘Dlid you ring, madam? “‘Yes, Harrison. I wish you to take Fido out walking for two hours.’ “Harrison frowned slightly. ‘But Fido won't follow me, madam, he sald, “ ‘Then, Harrison, you must follow Fido.’” Leaving Home. I would give a few words of encour- agement to any young man who may hesitate about leaving home. There is nothing In the world so good for a man, say, between twenty-five and thirty-five years of age, especlally it unmarried; as a visit to distant coun- tries, to learn other tongues, to see new. sights and to experience strange ad- ventures, such as he may readily en- counter by throwing aside the restrie- tlons of home life and taking up work abroad.—Frederic Shelford, B. Se., in Engineer. Point Not Well Taken. “T observe,” said the editor of the magazine, looking over the manuseript that had been submitted to him by the aspiring author thereof, “that you have used the phrase ‘lean hours.’ How can there be such a thing as a ‘lean’ hour?” “Why not?” demanded the other. “There fs'such a thing as a spare mo- ment, isn’t there?”—Chicago Tribune.
