fully and wonderfully got-up masher.
Over his "pince-nez" he eyed the other
passengers haughtily, and they in turn
looked at him with the amused, in
dulgent smile with which the public
usually regard the genius. Presently
a soldier of the Scaforth Highlanders
entered and took his seat beside the
masher. A stalwart, soldierly look
ing fellow, he soon became the cyno-
sure of all eyes. The masher looked
at him for moment, then siding up
to him he said condescendingly:

taking a comprehensive look at his
questioner, ''weel, that's kinna queer

Why He Stays Single.

Possibly the best known unmarried
man of letters to-day is Henry James,
the novelist. He maintains stoutly
that the artist, no matter what the
medium of his expression, should re-
main single, on the ground that the
petty cares and carpings of domestic
life tend to wear on delicately adjust
ed nerves and exhaust the mental fiber
of genius, whether its possessor be a
painter of pictures, worker in words,
modeler of statues, composer Of
music, singer or one who amuses
the people from the stage. There be
some, undoubtedly, who will surmise
from this that Mr.. James has been
unfortunate in the choice of his un-
married friends, but others, perhaps.
will agree with him fully. His
bachelor apartments in London are
said to be exquisite in furnishings and
appointments, and, despite his cynic-
ism, the novelist is not disliked by
women, nor is he hater of the sex

Furnishing a ShYster.

On one occasion, says the Colum-

served an attorneyc of doubtful reputa-
ton prospecting in the dock for bust,
ness, and determined to make an ex-
ample of him. Just as the attorney
was climbing over the rails of the
dock into the court his lordship called
out:
"Jailor, one of your prisoners is
escaping. Put him back"
Back the attorney was thrust, and
the following colloquy ensued:
'My lord, there is mistake here.
I am an attorney"
81 am very sorry, indeed" said
Lord Norbury, "to see one of your
profession in the dock"
"But, my lord, am innocent"
"Yes, they all say that, was the
Judges reply. ga jury of your own
fellow countrymen must settle it..
''But, my lord," exclaimed the now
desperate man, "there is no indict-
ment against me-"
"Then," said his lordsh.p, ''you
will be put back, and if no one ap-
pears to prosecute, you will be dis
charged by public proclamation at the
end of the assizes."
