This 10 an after dinner story told BY
awell known lawyer the other evening,
illustrative Of legal difficulties that may
arise even In the carrying out Of the
most amicable contracts:
There were once four brothers, who
had inherited q storage warehouse from
their father and who equally divided
the property among them. Among the
appurtenances thereto was cat, fine
animal, excellent for mousing, and this.
too, was divided, the elder brother own.
ing the right front quarter, the second
brother the left front quarter and the
younger brothers the two hind quarters.
Now, unfortunately, the cat in one of
its nocturnal prowls injured the right
front paw, and the elder brother at,
tended to that portion Of his property
by binding the injured member with o
CREASED rag The cat, thankful for this
relief to it's suffering, went to sleep
contentedly before the fire, but in the
midst of its slumbers falling coal ig-
nited the rag, and the animal, bowling
with agony, dashed through the ware
house, and, coming in contact with some
combustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured out,
the three younger brothers wished to
throw it all upon the elder, upon the
ground that had he not tied mp his part
Of the cat with tho inflammable rag the
building would not have been destroy
ed. He, on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed Of the
front right paw-his property-it would
have stood still and burned to death. It
was the three other paws that caused
the damage. The brothers argued the
case until they died, but could never
reach an agreement. Philadelphia Rec

It Had Teeth In It's Jaws and Was Other

"The Solenhofen slate of Bavaria" "
writes Professor H. g. Seeley in his
recent little volume, ''The Story Of the
Earth In Past Ages, makes known
numerous insects and other forms Of ter
restrial life of this period, including the
Oldest known bird. A bird is known by
its feathers, though there is no reason
why the covering to the skin should not
be as variable in this group of animals
as among reptiles or mammals. 1t is,
therefore, remarkable that the oldest
known bird, the arch@opteryx, has
feathers as we'll developed as in the ex-
listing representatives of the class and
similarly arranged.
The animal is an elegant, slender
bird, which is chiefly remarkable for
showing teeth in the jaws. About 12,
short and oonical, occur on each side of
the upper jaw. The bird was larger
than the robin in its body and had a
tail Of which there was bony core
some six inches in length. The wings
were quite as we'll developed as the legs,
and there are some evidences that the
former could be applied to the ground,
as are the fore legs Of quadrupeds, al.
though the feathers show the wings to
have been constructed on the same plan
as the birds of today. The Solenhofen
stone. in which SO many Of the remains
Of fishes, reptiles and insects are found,
is the same as that used for photographic
purposes, being of exceeding close tex.

Halloween has come down to us from
the old Druids, and, after three CEN
turtles of revision, but very little Of
the original customs is left. All we
have now are a faint trace of mysti-
cism and a few harmless superstitions
in which no one has faith. Social feat
ures of an enjoyable kind supply the
place of those which have been lost,
and thus the ancient festival preserves
it's popularity. Perhaps it. is just as
well that we don't observe Hallowmas
eve as did the Druids, for one Of their
rites was concluded with human
sacrifice, and, although the unfortunate
victim was always either an enemy
or captive. we could hardly recognize
such a practice.
Probably few of the mischievous
boys who make Halloween the occasion
for playing all sorts of pranks know
that the origin Of this practice is
founded on quaint, old traditions.
Even now in some of the remote parts
Of Ireland, Scotland and the north of
England the rustic folk believe that on
the night of Oct. 81 spirits of the de-
parted walk abroad and hobgoblins.
gnomes. witches and fairies fit through
the darkness, bent on errands Of mis-
chief and evil.yooa
But the small American boy does not
believe in witches, and for fear that no
mischief will be done he does it him
self. If you have ever lived in a small
country town or village you know ex-
actIy how he goes about 1t and how
successful he generally is. 1t Is doubt
full il all the sprites in elfdom could in
vent more pranks.
Removing swinging gates and eel
lar doors is always a favorite Hallow-
cen pastirne with village boys. String
ing wires and ropes across sidewalks
to trip up unWary pedestrians IS an
other reckless trick, which sometimes
results in severe injury. The tfcktack
is generally harmless. Of course you
have hung ticktack at some time
or other in your younger days. You
remember how 1t was done, don't you?
The crowd of village boys met about
9 o'clock on some previously selected
corner. A long piece of Irvine, nail
and a tack or a pin were the requisite
paraphernalia. Then the victim was Sc
lected. generally some citizen who had
made himself obnoxious to the boys on
former occasions. Perhaps it was the
crusty druggist or the short tempered
Hebrew dry goods dealer. If the victim
was known to be on the lookout for
such games and prepared to give chase
to the offenders, a spice of keenly re-
lished adventure was given to the fun.
Then came the fastening Of the tick
tack. One of the boldest spirits was
selected for this work While the rest
Of the group remained hidden in the
shadow Of a distant tree he stole
carefully up to. the house and with
trembling fingers fastened the tack to
the sash of the window. The nail WAS

The end of this week brings with it
one of the jolliest holidays of the entire
year. All Halloween is a holiday cele
brated by young and old alike and pos
SesSed of so many ancient and unique
traditions all its own one becomes hope
@leSsly entangled when endeavoring TO
look up even half of them. Almost ev-
cry one participates in some kind of
an entertainment on this particular
evening. In the homes small informal
parties are usually the order, while the
large clubs about town one and all give
enormous dancing parties with lengthy
programmes and generous banquets IN
connection. Especially is this SO of the
Scotch organizations, whose big an
nual balls come off All Halloween and
are among the most attractively ar
ranged events of the entire year. But
the fun to be had out of Halloween is
extracted in all its purity by the small
boy. To the smafl boy Halloween means
"a night when he may, if the police do
not catch him. cut loose from anything
that even hints of c0nventionalty and
run wild generally Early in the week
he begins to accumulate bean blowers,
pumpkins, cabbage roots or anything
make nuisance Of himself. And there
are more ways than one in which the
small boy may accomplish this end and
not half try. And then the morning
after the long anticipated night of
revel, wrathy> heads of families eX-
change condolences, hunt gates, door
mats and other portable pieces of prop
erty and forget all about the time when
