the young man boldly walked up to the
bar and took glass OF ice water, the Judge
fairly boiled with Indignation at such te-
merity, amounting almost TO contempt.
The young man was just raising the glass
to his lips when the judge roared:
THAT water, sir, is for attorneys and
other officers Of the court. 3"
The glass almost dropped from his hand,
he started violently, turned red, then
placed the glass on the table and walked
out of the court. The judge ohuokled
Half an hour later the young man entered
the courtroom again with a roll Of parch

him savagely, but he never finched, Fl

and he addressed the court:

The Salt Of the Earth.

In an old fashioned home of New Orle-
ans there was a company at dinner, and
the ladies were discussing the woman

ed evil, and "that women were RESPONSE
Bile for most OF the evil in the world-in
fact, that women were worse than men.
One of the ladies Indignantly retorted;
Indeed, they are not. Women are the
salt of the earth"

Susan from tine Kitchen. "Dat's de Bible

And the knight was light.
Now, they fought by day
And they fought by night
In the good old way

And whenever the dey
Was full Of might
He would start away
And rout the knight.
But so, the knight,
When the stronger man,
Would push the fight,
While the black dey ran.
Thus knight chased dey
And dey chased knight
