READ The KIno a LESSON.
A Marquis Gives Charles I. a Poem from
Cover the Poet.

A Marquis Gives Charles I. a Poem from
Cover the Poet.
However duji to Us are the works of
that grave and ancient English poet,
Cover, the contemporary Of Chaucer.
i is certain that his influence extended
far beyond his own time, as he mad adj
mirers as late as the reign Of Charles i.
In connection with the curious con
ference on the occasion of the visit
Charles /. made to the marquis of Wor-
cester az Raglan castle, with his court,
an amusing incident is related. The
marquis was a fayorite of the king.
9th for his fraukness and mis- love of
the arts.
Among his rare curiosities was a
sumptuous copy of Covers volume.
King Charles usually visited the mar
quis after dinner, and one day found
him with Covers book lying open be-
fore him. The king remarked that he
had never before seen the work.
"Oh, it is a book of books." exclaimed
the marquis, with enthusiasm. IF
your majesty had been well vcrsed in
it, it would have made you king of
kings"
"Why so, my lord?" asked Charles,
curiously.
''Why, here is set down how Aristotle
brought up and instructed Alexander
the Great in all the rudiments and prin-
ciples belonging to prince" said the
marquis; and thereupon, under the per-
sons Of Aristotle and Alexander, the
marquis read the king such a lesson
that all the bystanders were amazed at
hts daring. The king asked whether he
had hjs lesson by heart, or spoke out Of
4ba 49, S-~"'-T~7se-
inc pooh .sEs.-z1t--.s-G--.i --- AA24E III H.
III YOU Nould read my heart" re-
sponded the marquis, sit may be that
you might find it there; or if your
majesty pleased to get it by heart,
viii lend you my book"
Some of the new~made lords fretted
at certain passages in the marquis dis
course, and protested that no man was
king as Aristotle. Upon which the
marquis, turning the pages till he came
to a certain passage, read:
A king can kill. king can save;
A king can make lord knave,
And of knave lord also.
At this point several of the courtiers
skunk out of the room, and the king
said, laughingly: "My lord, at this rate
you will drive away all my nobility"
This anecdote certainly proves that
after the lapse of two centuries and
half the words of the old poet had still
vitality enough to afford a pungent
lesson to the courtiers of Charles L., as
they had to those of Richard H.

Az NEAT BIT OF SARCASM.
The Judge Thought 1t Was About Time
to Convict Some One.

The Judge Thought 1t Was About Time
to Convict Some One.
Some years ago there lived in Ala
hama a Judge who was noted for the
sarcasm which he dispensed lavishly
during his administration of justice.
On one occasion during term of court
at Montgomery young man was tried
for stealing "a pocketbook. The next
case was for murder. The evidence
in the larceny case was slight, but in
the other seemed to the judge conclu-
sive. To his amazement and wrath,
however, the jury convicted the young
man and acquitted the murderer.
In passing sentence upon the con-
victed thief, after the discharge of the
other prisoner, the judge said:
Young man, you have not been in
this country long?"
NO, your honor replied the pris-
oner
II thought not" said the judge. you
don't know these people; you may kill
them. but don't touch their pocket
books"
On another occasion hen the evil
dence seemed to point conclusively to
the prisoners guilt, butwhen the judge.
from long experience, distrusted the
iurymens wisdom, the counsel for the
defendant said: 1T is better that 90
gnilty persons should escape than one
innocent man should suffer"
In his charge to the jury, the judge
admitted the soundness of this propo-
sition, but he added impressively and
severely:
Gentlemen, I want you to bear in
mind that 90 have already escaped
