Judge Jim Griggs was reminded Of
story by the passing of an electric
car, says the Atlanta Constitution, and
began:
zone OF the funniest things that ever
happened during my connection with
the Georgia Judiciary was when was

my position frequently put me in the
attitude of prosecuting a friend. It
was hard, but did it. An ex-sheriff Of
a county in my circuit-a fellow that I
had known ami liked for long while
was prosecuted for making away with
some money. II was an ugly charge.
The evidence was conclusive against
him. When went down to court he

Tobacco an AntI-To1In.

The epidemic Of cholera at Hamburg
gave opportunity to prove that tobacco
Is not entirely without medicinal merit
Not one of the persons employed in to-
bacco and cigar factories in Hamburg
during the epidemic contracted the dis
ease. Cigars made and dampened with
water containing million and a half
cholera germs to the square inch were
found to be free from them within
twenty-four hours. Disease germs could
not live in the mouth of person who
was smoking for five minutes, and mi
crobes died in room saturated with
tobacco smoke in from one to two
hours.

Curious French Legend.

1t is asserted by the Industriellea
Echo that thousands of 57-franc
pieces are split into two halves by
their French owners every year, in
the hope of discovering an immense
hidden treasure. This treasure. ac-
cording to the legend firmly believed
in France, is an order to pay the hold
Ell 100000 francs in silver 5-franc coins
When Napoleon Bonaparte first set the
5-franc piece in circulation the con-
sentative mind of the French revolted
against the numismatic revolution
Notwithstanding it's zeal for political
revolution, and it was very difficult to
induce Frenchman to receive or
proffer the new coin. Hence. accord
ing to the story, Napoleon gave it to
be understood that he had ordered a
check for 100000 francs, written upon
asbestos paper, to be concealed in one
of the new silver pieces. From that
day to this nobody has objected to the
5-franc piece.

very far above the average in intelli-

un~seltishness, her extreme patience, her
