From the Chicago Tribune.
Jacob Meyer spent six hours in jail
as punishment for contempt of
court. Meyer brought the punishment on
himself by taking from his pocket an old
pipe, which had seen long service, filling it
with tobacco and lighting it in Judge
Bakers court room.
Meyer was called as witness in a rob-
berry case which was on trial, and while
waiting his turn to testify sat by one of
the windows in the rear of the room 1t
was there that the notion of taking a
smoke seized r i'm and he acted on 1t.
Judge Baker called him up and gave him
a severe lecture on the duty of a good
citizen to respect the courts of the land
and not smoke pipes in them while they
are in session.

Martha is four years old and has just
begun her religious education in the in
FAINT class of an up town Sunday school.
1t is custom Of the teacher Of this partic-
ular infant class to give each Of her small
pupils card containing short text which
the child is expected to memorize during
the week. In passing them out she charg
ed each of the children to be sure to keep
them carefully and return them the next
Sunday that they might be passed on to
others.
Martha is not a very careful little girl,
and though fully impressed with the duty
Of returning the card she neglected to put
it in place Of safety, and even before she
had reached home she discovered that she
had lost It, The thought worried her con-
siderably at flrst until Il bright idea came
into her head, and, strange to relate, it
staid there all the week. She said nothing
to her mother about the lost card, and the
next Sunday went off to Sunday school
happy as usual. The lost card was not
troubling her innocent little conscience
The infant class assembled and the teacher
called OH the children to return their cards
When 1t came Martha turn, she arose and
said timidly: II am very sorry, but lost
my card before got home have brought
you one Of my own which papa gave me to
play with. 1t Is much bigger and prettier
than the one lost" And she placed it
with the rest.
The young woman who was teaching
the infant class stared in mute astonish
ment, while several unregenerate adults in
different parts Of the classroom bit their
lips to keep from laughing.

dered was somewhat dilapidated queen
