A Warm Bath Wager.

Smith was man who never permit
ted himself to be outdone-he would
do whatever anybody else could. Smith
met Brown knowing the others con-
ceit, said that he, Brown could en-
dure hotter bath than any living
man. Thereat Smith fred up, and a
bet was made. Two bathing tubs
were prepared, with six inches of wa
ter in each. The fellows stripped,
and separated by cloth portion, each
one get in and let on the hot water on
the word, the wager being who should
stay in the longest with the hot water
running. Smith drew up his feet as
far as possible from the boiling stream,
while Brown pulled out the plug in the
bottom of the tub. After about half a
minute, quoth Smith:
''How is it, Brown-pretty warm p
"Yes," said the other, ''it is getting
mighty hot; but guess l can hold out
Il minute longer"

'.Scis-s-s squash! lightning it is

Fifteen seconds passed, equal to half
an hour by Smiths imaginary watch.

80, nearly up to the bilin' pint"
80, Christopher!'' answered the d.
abohcal villain, who was lying in The
empty tub, while the hot water passed
out of the escape pipe.
By this time Smith was splurging
about like boiled lobster, and called
again.

''Hotn' replied Brown. But
whew seiS-s. guess | can hold out
another minute -
"You can't" shrieked the now boil
ing Smith, who rolled out and bolted
through the partition, expecting to
find the other quite cooked.
"You internal rascal. why didn't

A Legend about Lawyers.

There are large number Of funny
stories in vogue relating to the turpitude
of the legal profession, and the difficulty
the members thereof viii have to get
into heaven. Yet, as the lawyers usu-
ally enjoy joke as much as anybody
else, even at their own expense, they will
read with edifcation this latest attack
upon them, which We translate from a
recent French work, and which, oddly
enough, is called Good Woman's
Story:
Whilst our Lord was on earth, wan
dering about with his disciples, they
were once oyertaken by night in the
midst Of a cornfeld. Master" said
St. Peter, addressing the Savior, ''de-
sirest thou that we should 90 and seek
a lodging in yonder cabin % Our Lord
answered in the affirmative. Reaching
the cabin, an aged man received and
welcomed them, and prepared them
repast. After they had seated them
selves at the table, there entered one Of
the disciples. "And what do you want?"
demanded the host. Fear nothing"
exclaimed St. Peter, "He is one Of US"
SIT is WE'LL" responded the old man, in
yiting the newcomer to take a place by
the side of his companions. A few
moments, and anothgr appeared, and
then another, and so on until the twelve
were all within. All likewise accepted
the hosts invitation. patience !" ex-
claimed the old man to himself, "where
one guest leads, hundred may follow"
>1he next morning, St. Peter thus ad-
dressed the old man: "He to whom thou
hast extended thy hospitality is the
Lord. If thou hast any favor to request
Of Him, speak, and | will obtain i. in
thy name" The old man, who was a
great gambler, asked, without hesitation
or ceremony, always to be the winner
at cards. His request was granted.
Like all men, his days were numbered,
and Death came for him. As he was
traversing space, he perceived two de-
pons in charge of the soul of lawyer.
"Halloo, sirs," he exclaimed to the
demons, ''will You stop and have
game with me - An invitation which
the demons, desiring no better thing,
for they invented cards, at once accept
ed. ''But what shall We play for 2"
they inquired, ''thou hast no money"
''True," I" replied the old man. ''Sup-
pose" he continued, after pause, 81
stake my soul, good one, against the
soul in your charge, which has not the
value of marayedi." $50 be it."
replied the demons, and the play began.
1t is unnecessary to state that the old
man won the lawyers soul, took charge
of it, and bore it along with him.
On reaching the gates of heaven, St.
Peter, observing the ancient proprietor
of the cabin, said to him ENTER, for
| know thee well. But thou art not
alone what black soul is that thou hast
with thee p II am not alone,' replied
the old man, ''for God always loves the
society of many. This soul, so sullied
with ink, is the soul of a lawyer"
"There is no place for such in heaven"
replied St. Peter, come in by yourself"
When thou earnest into my cabin" said
the old man, "twelve came with thee.
have but one in my company. Why
should he not be admitted, since, where
one guest leads, hundred may follow!"
