PERHAPS he ASLEEP

PERHAPS lie AN i ASLEEP
The old man snored on his corn
husk bed,
And dreamed Of rails, and Tod
der and grain,
But his daughter watched by her
window-sill
For the gay young man tn come
up the lane.
O, love is mighty--and bolts are
weak
To restrain a fellow WHO believes
in cheek.
- Hither my dove" in soft tones
came
From under her window. Out
in the night
She sid from a ciothesIine, all pre-
pared,
And in less than a minute was
ont OF sight.
While the yovdy old owl sang out
"too hoo,'
And they both skedaddled to Kali
amaZO0.
The sun was up and the old man
woke A.;
lie missed hs daughter and saw
the racket
IS he spied a note in her vacant
room,
Stuck in the crack of Il walnut
bracket.
He read it slowly, and quietly said:
'Doggone good thing l went to
bed"

An Odd bubble Of the Law.

One of the oldest quihbles of the
fruitful law is that known to this day
among lawyers as the "single con-
spiratOr." While Burke and Hare
were manufacturing subjects for the
Scotch medical schools, a horrible
bag entered the shop Of surgeon
ap0thecary in an Irish town and
offered to sell him subject. He WIS
ready enough to buy one, but by no
means prepared to learn that the
commodity in question was yet aliye
in the person Of nine-year-Old boy,
her grandson, who was waiting for
her outside.
81 don't want to kill him, SIR" she
said, "bekaSe, ye see, if l didn't sell
him to wanst he'd spiIe, it's so hot"
Determined that such an atrocity
should be punished. the doctor told
her TO call next day, when he wasn't
too busy to talk to her. He then had
policeman hidden under the cOun-
ter. In his hearing the harridan eX-
plained her plan to slap Il pitch plaS-
ter over her victims m outh, and suf-
fOcate him in tub of water. The
officer, when she had finished, DOunc.
ed on and arrested her, and she was
brought to trial.
But here came the difficulty.
She had killed no one, so she was
not guilty Of murder. Unjust, there

person cannot conspire F.; it takes at
least two. In order to secure an in
dictment it would he necessary to in
clude the surgeon in it. But this would
be manlfestly unfair, and after keen
argument by shrewd young lawyer,
who took the case up out of sheer
deviltry, the crone was actually dis.
