"The most severe rebuke | ever got
from the bench" said lawyer, "was
from one of those typical Western judges
who had determined it was time to intro
duce little more formality of the East
in his court than he had formerly insist
ed on. 1t was my first case in that court
anyway. | had gone out there as green
as they make them and had purchased a
half interest in the practice of sharp
lawyer, who Immediately retired from
practice in that town and made me a
present of the remainder of his business,
when he felt my money safe in his pocket.
So was thrown on my own resources and
was soon foundering so deep in legal
quagmires that the Judge felt called on
to interpose. A few months before he
would probably have poured out some
choice abuse on my head, and would have
offered to fight me if / did not like it.
But now he was standing on formality.
"'Young man., he said impressively,
'the best thing you can do for yourself
and for your client would be to hire a
lawyer did so.'
"That reminds me-" said another, "of
a rebuke administered by one Of. our old
justices to fly young lawyer who came
out there from the East with determi-
nation TO show everybody how things
should be done. He was well connected
and well introduced, but soon got into
debt, and was an inveterate borrower from
his friends and even from chance ac-
quaintances. One day three justices
were sitting on our young friend, who
forthwith tried to get off the old gag
about contempt Of court.
81 wish your hOnors to fine me So fol
contempt of court" said he.
"Why so, Mr.. Smith ?" said one of the
justices, who did not at once tumble to the
point, "you have not displayed any con
tempt"
"But / cherish q decided contempt fol
this court and am willing TO pay tor it,
said Smith with a rhetorical flourish.
"Your contempt for this court is not t
be mentioned in the same breath with th'
courts contempt for you" said the seconC
justice.
"And we won't fine you, Mr. Smith,
said the third with a triumph in his eye
"because we can't tell which of us yo1
would borrow the money from to pay
with"
"While the ushers were trying to re
store quiet in court out of the tumult
laughter that followed this neat and cut
ting reply, Mr.. Smith got away in ba'
disorder" "

Lemons are used for soap in many
countries where they grow. When, for
instance, the men and women of the West
Indies want to wash their hands they
squeeze the juice of lemon over them
and rub them briskly in water until they
are clean. There is an acid in the lemon
similar to that used in soap. And in
countries where oranges grow in great
plenty country gentlemen use the cheap
est kind for blacking their boots. The
orange is cut in two and the juicy side Of
one-half is rubbed on the SCOT Of an iron
pot and then on the boot. Then the boo
is rubbed with a soft brush and a brigh
polish at once appears.

George Harmon, manager of Central
Music hall, is very fond Of candy. He
is seldom without box of bon bons y.
his desk. George has many callers and
they all help themselves to his candy, SO
he finds he does not get many sweetmeats
himself in the long run. He pays for the
candy all the same, and this calling busi-
ness has worried him for some time. The
other day he unbosomed himself to his
friend and neighbor, Mr.. r.Boles, of whom
he buys his candy, and told him his plight.
"Ill fix it" said Boles; and he made up
a box of very inviting looking bon bons
from common bar soap. These George put
on his desk The first man to call was Will
Shafer, of the Auditorium hotel He pick
ing up bon bon said Good morning, "spat
it out, and then Harmon said Good morn
ing Have you used soap?" Will said he
had, but he would never do it again. Joe
Oliver, of the peoples, was the next. He
took piece of the alleged candy and then
turned pale and went out.
But the victim Harmon was waiting for
his hated rival, Adonis George Fair, Of the
Haymarket Finally Fair dropped in "Ah,
me boy, these look lovely" he said as he
bit into an alkaline bon bon. For mo-
ment his face paled, and then, rather than
look like sucker, he bravely downed the
rest of the soapy candy. He did not careto
award Harmon the laugh on him, and he
made his bluff stronger by calmly chewing a
second one of the bogus creams. This was
too much, however, and as he talked with
Harmon the soap began to get in its deadly
work, and Fair began to froth at the mouth.
He hastily rushed toward West Side car,
and was so mad that he thought the man was
getting personal who handed him hand
bill announcing an important meeting of the
"Lathers' Union" that evening. Now Har-
mon can put the choicest confections on his
desk and have them all to himself

The teacher was going over the good
old story of King Solomon and his wis
dom. Now, my dears, who was the great
Queen who travelled so many miles and
miles to see this King?' Silence prevail
ed in the class. "Why, you do know, all
of you. The Queen who came to see the
King?" The name had been forgotten
by the class. In order to help them, the
kind but misguided teacher began to Of
fer a little assistance. "You do know, l
am sure. The name begins with s, and
she was very great Queen" just then
up shot little hand and out spoke the
triumphant voice of the little auburn
haired girl. She transixed the listening
school-room with the following brief
statement: 81 know, it was the Queen Of
! Spades"

Joined the Brigdnds.

A strange story of adventure, occur
ring under the most peculiar circumstan-
ces, can be got by the novelist from the
life of Judge Longworth, so well known
in Detroit as lover of aquatic sportand
as the owner of the yacht Mink.
The Judges travels took him to Italy.
Once there his attention was attracted to
the brigands who still infest the country
of hand-organs and unrivaled sunsets.
He at once conceived the novel idea of
Joining some band of these freebooters
and from this vantage-point studying the
character of those whose real identity
had been obscured if not lost in the long
maintained environment of legend, story
and song. For one of the judges nature,
to conceive was to act. He sought out
the leader of a widely-known band, de-
clared himself a freebooter of the deep
esi dye, and by his inimitable grace of
act and language won the heart Of the
chief marauder. He was received under
the prestige of an Endorsement that was
more to the brigands than any claim of
law or morals.
For two months the Judge did more to
enliven the mountain Businesses than all
the rest of the merry outlaws combined.
His stories were the best, his courtly
manners the beau ideal of cultivated law
lessness. His hand was incapable of out
rage or crime, and it is part of this true
revelation that had the Judge remained
much longer a member of the band 1t
would have become impoverished. He
deftly managed to acquire virtual lead
ership, and saved many traveller from
paying the toll so ruthlessly demanded
by the bandits. He could shoot better
than any of his self-chosen companions
was their superior in everything that at
tracts even those who lack the qualities
and abilities admired.
All of the band looked upon him as q
peculiar good fortune bestowed by some
kindly deity of lucky chance or fate, and
his advice was accepted where that oi
others would have been violently resent
ed. To his associates he was the prince
of good fellows, and not one suspected
that his sole purpose was to study the
Italian bandit in life and learn by init
mate association just who and what h'
was. For eight weeks he was happy
rollicking bandit, and when his purpose
was accomplished he was guilty of a well
managed desertion, for bandits, like
certain type of office-holders, may die
but they can never resign. He got ou
of the mountains and out of Italy.
