the legally expressed opinions Of twelve men
(although seven Of them afterwards regretted,

hearts cold as they are cruel. Il is senti-
ment belonging to an age grown old by cen
turies, when even poor suicide was denied
Christian burial. An extract from the first

How TO SELL PATENT GAS BURNERS
"Sirl" said tall, thin man. clad in a worn,
very shining garb, suddenly appearing IN the
room, II have veutured to call to lay before
YOU one of the most astonishing inventions OF
modern times. They all begin in some such
impressive way as that. "A gas burner, Sir
| was busy arranging some papers IN corner,
and having both hands full, with a pen held
crossvays in nv mouth, was for the moment
quite at his mercy perhaps. sir, you are
aware that in the case of every kind of burner

suffered already Your sight, sir, would not
last six months longer. This must not DE.
Before | could say word or lift finger to
stop him he rapidly glded past the to the table
on which the lamp stood. With nimbleness
which rooted me to the spot in apprehension
he whipped off the shade, then the old burner.

Thinking he might be deaf, i bawled; II dou't
want your burner; won't have it; take 1t OF,
for he was lightly twirling the new one in its
place.
''Therc, sir, YOU will feel thankful to me as
long as you live The only thing that troubles
me in tie matter is, known | am running the
spectacle makers.

you for it,

am sorry to think of it. Good morning, sir.
If at any time no matter how long an interval,
