A HumOrist'S Ancestors.

How much happier were our ances-
tors than ourselves. Why, was tell
ing my son this morning about his
ancestors. and l just envied them.
When they awoke at sunrise, they just
kicked off the bearskin, dipped them
selves into the creek, if there was a
creek handy, and didn't if there wasn't,
hung a wolfskin over their shoulders,
and they were dressed for the day.
This was long ago, because we &ome of
a very old family. Our family records
show that our direct ancestors had the
handsomest cave in their range of noun
tains, and stranger couldn't get up in
the night for drink of water without
falling over a skull. And they never
had to do a stroke of work. All day
long the gentlemen hunted, not so much
for sport as for meat. And the ladies
stayed at home and talked gossip and
cheWed wolf-skins to make them soft
and pliable for children's winter cloth
ing. A man didn't go roaring and
swearing around his room in the morn
ing, in these good old times, with his
eyes full of soap, cropping for the towel.
There was no such thing as soap, and
they had no use for towels. And they
never worried about salaries and the
price of commodities. When they want
ed anything they stole it, and when they
couldn't steal it, in a sublime spirit of
contentment, they went without it.
And politics never worried them either.
The man with the biggest cluD and
longest arm was president by n unani-
nous vote every time, and the man who
objected to the election was prompt y
sold to the OHIO medical students in the
interest of science, Those were the days
when a man could run for president on
his shape. They were good men, these
ancestors of mine, in their day. | am
not ashamed of them, because l have
no reason for thinking they were
ashamed of me, and il they can stand il
can. They were more reliable than
am. They prayed oftener and made
more noise about it, and they had more
gods than they had words in their Ian.
guage. They fought a little, stole some
and lied a great deal, and swore every
time they thought of it, but they never
played croquet, and were proof against
| the vanity of roller skates. There were
some good things about them after all
The best thing l know about them il
| their distance, their remote antiquity
| 1 revere the rare good sense which
prompted them to live and get through
} with 1t and die, about three or foul
| thousand years before their more tastic
| ious descendants wanted the stage 70

sympathy as a sOrtener Of Law.

They allow very wide scope to sym
pathy, as a softner of law, in France.
The case of the Countess de Tilly, re-
Gently tried in Partisan court, was en-
bellished by an outpouring of popular
feeling such as would scarce have been
possible in other places. The countess
was tried for having disfguIed the face
Of young laundress who had become
the favOTite of the count, her husband.
The girl was handsome, and vain
enough of her conquest to tantalize the
countess by Boosting that madam
would not live long, and that upon her
death she herself would succeed to the
title. Madame lost patience one day,
and discharged bottle of VitriOl full in
her tormeptor's face. destroying one eye
and reducing the pretty features to a
mass of Wrinkled scars. When the case
came to trial the public took part. The
jurors were publicly and passionately
admOnished, and entreated to acquit
her. The newspapers were unanimous
in her behalf. Her counsel shed tears
while making his argument, which was
