She was a very jewel of a cook when she wasn’t in a temper, and, as this inability to live peaceably with her fellows con- stituted her sole fault, three times had the other feminine servants been discharged for her sake. But when she began to be impertinent to the woman who employed her this patient individual decided that matters had gone far enough. She had no wish to lose such a treasure, neither did she intend to be rudely treated at her hands; so, after some careful thought, she evolved a clever plan of action. When next Bridget came upstairs for orders she found her mistress a prey to severest melan- choly. “An’ what's the matther, mum?" she ask- ed, anxiously, being the kindliest of women in her normal condition. Her mistress sighed mournfully. “I'm rather troubled, Bridget,” she said, quietly, looking anywhere but at her lis- tener. “I'm going to have two dinn Parties next week, you know, and I dreac having a new cook at such times.” Bridget, sure of her desirability, and frown flushed with many triumphs, stared. on why yee > be afther havin’ a new cook, mum?" she inquired. “Ain't ye is- fied wid me?” . Wa “PerfectfY satisfied with your Pervices, Bridget,” was the more quiet reply, “but it won't be possible for the two of us to live in the same house if you are going to be impertinent to me. Now, I've discharged the other girls on your account several times of late, but I really don’t think that either my husband or my sons would be willing to let me go in order to keep you. I really think they would prefer getting a new cook to losing me.” Bridget made no response, but she de- veloped an unwonted degree of self-control, and her mistress reports that she has never again been impertinent. = soe COULDN'T PLAY HIS PART. The Quaker Lawyer Managed to Ex- pose the Fraud and Won His Case. From the Detroit Free Press, s, I was born and raised a Quaker in Philadelphia,” admitted the venerable law yer at a social after the bar meeting. * haven't adhered to the tenets of the si but I know all about the ‘Friends, as w call them, and that knowledge won me the first really big case in which I wes ever employed. It is not neceseary to go | the detcils of the suit, but it was tried after the first grand rush to the west, an] irvolved the Gwnership of a vast tract of land that was repidly growing in value “The witness whom I most feared, and on whose testimony I expected the question of title to turn, «ppeared with a broad hat and the peculiar costume of Quaker of that day. shaven and his manner solemn; but 1 did not have that honest look peculiar t the faith. It was with difficulty that h was induced to remove his hat in the pre: erce of the court. He firmly declined 1 take the usual form of oth and made af- firmation. He used ‘thee’ in the nomi tive and objective case, as did nearly all the Friends of the time, and I was con- vinced that if he was not the genuine a ticle he had been well drilled. His direct testimony left us without a leg to stand on. Then I took him for cross-examina- tion. “Did I understard thee to say, John,’ T began, ‘that thee was present and wit- nessed the execution of these papers? ‘That's what you did,’ he blurted out, in is Surprise at being thus addressed “‘Which branch of the Friends do peopie belong to?
