had concluded the case before him. he
pulled IA small draw scale out of his pOck

that the law directed that he should

years had caught on 10 his intentions he
had tried the two patches of testimony
by the scales, and without hesitation
rendered his decision in favor Of the

Pure Cheek.


Speaking Of devices to get cool, the
historian IS reminded of the ease of a
hanger-On upon the verge of journalism
who is well known down in the diree-
tion Of Lynn. This individual had es-
tablished some sort of a connection with
newspaper published in suburb Of
Lynn, and the way he obtained facili-
ties on the strength Of that connection
was the wonder and envy Of all ike
minded persons in Eastern Massachu-
sets. His facial area was unreasonable
1t Is an adage in the transportation Of
business Whoever rides free once new
er pays again. This newspaper man
from the suburbs Of Lynn never paid
again.
One exceeding hot day, having made
up his mind that the proper thing to do
was to take a salt water excursion, this
man of cheek strolled along the wharves
of Boston in order 10 pick out the like
lest excursion steamer he could find. He
selected oue at last, wens ON board, hun
ted up a chair, took seat in shady
place, put his feet on a rail and began to
read newspaper In about fifteen min
utes s.iilor-looking man opened door,
looked at him a minute and disappeared
In about ten minutes more the sailor
looking man came back and addressed
the newspaper man.
What are you doing here2" said he.
~Oh,7 exclaimed the newspaper man,
" only going TO take little trip with you" !"
And he whipped ont his card and presen-
ted it. Member Of the press you know
give you good notice in the paper next
week :"
The sailor-looking man said not a
word, and went back into the bowels Of
the vessel
Fifteen minutes more and the
steamer hadn't started. The newspaper
man began to get weary. He waited a
little while longer, and went ins;..e and
hunted up the sailor-looking man, who
was apparently engaged in polishing the
ships cable.
Say = said the newspaper man, how
long before this boat starts"
Wei, said the sailor-looking man, as
he went ON with his polishing, think
she'll sail about week from next We'd
desday. she's laid up for repairs
