was the grave reply.
The man was the late George Higin-
botham, Chief Justice of Victoria. His
courtesy toward women was regardless of
rank or personal attractiveness. He would
take off his hat to his cook, and bow to
her as graciously as though she were q
duchess.
A man was trying TO lead a heavy
drafthorse along the street. The ami
NAL refused to be led, and the man made
several Intellectual attempts to mount the
refractory creature. At that moment the
Chief Justice came along, and seeing the
difficulty extended his hand-as a mount
ing block.
The man put his foot in the hand and
mounted upon the horses back, and the
Chief Justice passed on.
His courtesy made his manners good,
but it did not soften his sense of justice.
A lawyer tells this anecdote:
'T had once to appear before him in
chambers on behalf of charming client
who had some property, but would not
pay her debts. TIE case was heard in his
own room and he was courtesy itself. He
stood when she entered. / think she

who saw the man fall believed that he had

both foundered. There is British steamer

prevented her from getting money from
the people by any possible means She

the highest bidder and compelled their
purchase. When people preferred not to
buy an Office because the price was
higher than they could pay, the offend
ing person was put in prison and his
money taken from him. She had force

of the queen or disappearing of her
methods was imprisoned without family
or friends being notified. She lived in
constant terror of assassination, and took
endless precautions to prevent it. She
sat up all night in one of her several
bedrooms and no one but her intimates
knew when she slept.
Under one bedroom there was a trap
door, with steps leading to a room be-
low, where she always kept on guard 40
couriers and vehicle, in case she
wished to escape from the palace at a
moments notice. Queen Min surround

continual sacrifices to gods Of all kinds.
