A Traveller Waiting for Some One
to Pull Them.
From tie Louisville Post
A broad-shouldered man, fash
ionably dressed, came into the
lobby of an uptown hotel on Satur-
day evening. He looked like an
athelete. His step was springy,
and his face was ruddy with
health. He was just the sort of a
man you would steer clear for a
fight. Still, it was none of these
qualities that attracted the atten--
ton of every person in the lobby.
He wore peculiar whisker. Hang
ing from his chin was long blond
wisp of hair, such as stage farmers
and some sure enough ones wear
1t W rs whisker that waved
briskIy in every passing wind. 1t
was so clearly out of place on this
man-of-the-world's face that a
young fellow, holder than the rest,
engaged it's owner in conversation,
and after a time asked him about
it.
''That is peculiar whisker you

"That the style where you come

"No."
"Then, If the question is proper,

The broad shouldered man
smiled bit and said: "I'll tell
you why. / grew that whisker for
the sole and only purpose of get
ting fresh young men to talk about
it, and thereby giving me an OPP
portunity to get even with them"
The young man shivered appre-
hensively.

1t was similar to this in all re-
spects, save that it was gray, for
he was an old man. There was
party of fresh young collegians in
the same car, and when they saw
the old mans whisker they began
to make game of it. One lantern
jawed youth amused himself and
his companions by reaching over,
taking hold of the whisker and
saying: 'Ba-a-a-a,' like billy goat.
He kept that up for forty miles,
greatly to the old mans discom-
fort. Right then and there /

body to shake that appendage and

heap of difference whose chin the

In Chooing Shoes.
New York Tribune.

New YORK Trlbune.
In buying shoes it is well to re.
member that the feet are one-third
of an inch longer when the body is
standing than when seated, and the
elongation is further increased
when walking, for the weight is
then thrown entirely on one foot
at each alternate step; so that in
choosing ones boots it is absolute
~ necessary that an allowance
should be necessary for this. The
shortness may not be felt at once,
but after a few weeks it becomes
very manifest; and moreover by
forcing the great toe back it is apt
to produce a bunion on the joint.

TOLD OUT OF COURT.
Entertaining Anecdotes About Bench an

Entertaining Anecdotes About Bench and
Bar.
The following story is told of limo
thy Coffin, who was for a long time
judge of the New Bedford district:
When very young man he was re-
tanned in a case of sufficient Importance
to bring out almost every resident of
the town; 30 that the little New Bed
ford courthouse was packed when court
was opened that morning. Coffin had
5een secured as counsel by the defend
aat Although it was his first attempt
in open court, he had made little or nd
preparation, thinking that he could get
through somehow or other when the
time came Thus, when the counsel
for the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised and
no less agitated to see the big crowd
and realize the wide public interest IN
the trial at hand lie said that he had
looked upon the case too l;s j.. H.. Tic
prosecution was strong, and he had
made not even slight preparation.
10 lose the case meant the loss of
a hoped-for reputation. Could he af
ford to commit this blunder by dis
playing his ignorance of the case? How
could he get out of it? These
we're few of the questions that are
known to have flashed through the
young lawyers head, for afterward
he himself told of the awful perplexity
of the hour. Being shrewd inventor,
he devised plan, as soon as the court
had been called to order and the crier
had said his little say, he arose ard
asked for rostponement of the trial,
on the ground that he had just received
telegram announcing the sudden and
fatal illness of his mother, who resided
at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words of this ap-
peal proceeded from the lips of young
Coffin, when an elderly woman quietly
arose in the balcony of the courtroom
and gave utterance to these words:
Timothy, Timothy, how many times
have chastised thee for lying?"
Timothy recognized the sound of
that voice too well. 1t was that of his
mother. This being Timothy's first
public case, the old lady had secretly
come up to New Bedford to see how
well her son would do. Her presence
was, of course, totally unknown to
him. The further developments need
not be recorded here Suffice it to say
that Timothy Coffin in after years
made sure that his excuses would not
be thrown back at him by any member
of his own family.-Boston Herald.
