appetite for chocolate. To such
an extent has she eaten sweets OF
this kind that her skin has become
a chocolate color. Every merchant
in the place who sells chocolate
has been warned not to sell the
young lady anything with choco-
late in its composition. A few days
ago, however, the young lady went
to a store 10 Clifton and asked for
two pounds of chocolate candy; the
merchant told her he was not al.
lowed to sell her candy of that
kind, but upon her stating that she
did not want it for herself, he sold
her the candy. The young lady
took it to her room and did not
desist until che had eaten every

The Liberal Lecture.

The tenth liberal lecture by DR.. J.

appreciative audience, the subject
being "Brains In Religion, or, Why
I'm a Christian. The speaker pre-
faced his lecture by reply to some
articles by Rev. Hutchinson OF this
city, that have appeared in the press
during the past week, on "God in the
Constitution The Doctor took the
stand that this was in no sense
christian government, but secular
republic, citing the treaty with Tri-
poll signed by leo Washington, which
contains the statement that, "the
government of the United States is
not IN any sense founded on the
Christian religion" He also cited
Chief Justice Story of the supreme
bench, declaring that our common
law Is not christian.
The speaker then continued with
his lecture, giving his reasons why he
could not believe in the doctrines Of
christianity. The address was re-
ceived with considerable applause.

doubted handwriting OF Mr.. Foot.
The difference was so apparent that the
questioned document was thrown out as q
forgery and the estate saved Sl0,0 and the
interest for twenty years. la this case the
jury believed the handwriting expert in
preference TO the testimony of people well
acquainted with Mr.. FoOt's signature.

retOuched ia eighty-nine places or painted

A curious case of forgery occurred some
time ago, when an ingenious swiDdler got
possession of check of G.. w Whitehead
for $3.50 on the First National bank, pag-
able to bearer. When payment was de-
manded the check called for 5000 The
swindler did not present the check directly
He went first to Waters & Son, and bought
81, 500 worth of gold and silver for plating
He presented the 5000 check and asked
Waters & Son to send to the bank and get
it certified, and the paying teller did Ger
tify it. Then the swindler got his change
in a check for s., 500, payable to bearer.
When he presented this for payment at the
bank where Waters 81 Son kept their de-
post, the teller threw it out because the
swirdler spelled his name differently in the
indorseGeat from the way Waters e. Son
spelled it in the body of their check.
That saved Waters & Son the $500 on.
their own check. They sued the First Ma
tional bank for the face of the Whitehead
check because the bank had certified it.
The banks defense was that the certiica-
ton was only to the genuincness of the
signature, and that it was only responsible
for $40. so, the amount of the check before
it was raised Waters & Son proved that
the whole check was forgery, and that in
the writing of Whiteheads name were at
least twenty-seven variations, and the re-
suit was that the First National bank had
to pay about $5,000.-New York Sun

He Had an Unpleasant Reception,
but 1t Turned Ont All Right.
From the Detroit Free Press.
"Goo.good night" said Mr.. Sylves-
ter, with an effort as he reached his
own house. slope you won't find
your wife sitting up for you. Mine
u-used to, hut 1 got her out of that
notion pretty quick. She's sound
asleep now. "1'll warrant and no
make believe, either. l might f1re
off Gatling gun alongside of her
pest ear and she'd never know it,"
Mr.. Sylvester parted from his
peighbor and entered his own house,
opening and shutting the door with
some trouble, and good deal of
noise. Then he extinguished the
hall light, fell upstairs one step at
time, and went into the front room,
which was dimly lighted. And there
he saw his wife sitting in rocking
chair by the dressing table. Her
back was toward him, and she did
not look up OF speak-both bad
signs.
-Iizbeth, !" said Mr.. Sylvester, with
much dignity, sitting down on the
side OF the bed unsteadily, what are
you doing there?"
No response.
"Lizbeth, haven: told you never
to set 'em up, I mean set-sit up
1, me? 1t isn't proper. Pm old
enough to come home w-when /
please, Lizbeth, command you
not to do it again. Why don't you
say somethin, Lizoeth?
Mrs. Sylvester preserved discreet
silence. Mr.. Sylvester resumed:
"Lizbeth, command you to speak.
1t isn't treating me with proper res
pect to sit there s. mum? What have
j done to be treated like this? Will
you speak, Lizbeth?"
There was only silence more pro-
fsand.
"Very well, Lizbeth, you'll be sor-
nv for this in the morning. l shall
now retire to my-bless my soul,
Lizbeth who is this?n
Mr.. Sylvester stood up very straight
and stared at the bed, on the edge of
which he had been sitting. There
lay his excellent wife sound asleep,
her bangs done up in tissue paper
and q smile of placid contentment on
her lips.
"Who's that other woman?n stam-
mered Mr.. Sylvester in a soto voce
tone. Then he took courage to APP
proach and pluck her by the sleeve.
Pshaw. She came to pieces in his
hands. 1t was only Mrs. Sylvester's
clothes which she had arranged
handily in case of fire.
And Sylvester murmured: Saved
again, b'goshu as he tucked himself
in his little bed, while his wife con-
tinued to sleep the sleep of the just.
