N ON THE DUKE.

The Duke Of Cambridge is not famous
for his liberality. They say that he is
not in the habit of spending two pence
where a penny will do. One wet day
long ago he hailed a cab in Pail Mall
and bade the Jehu drive to Victoria sta
ton. Arrived in due coursce at that ter
minus, the duke handed the driver a shil-
ling. The cabby looked at the shilling
and then looked dow at the duke.
ERE, watts this?" shouted he abby.
"Can't yer make it another tanner"
tCertainly not" replied the duke, land
what is more, you came the wrong way.
What made you go right round Hyde
Park corner and Grosvenor Place." The
cabby saw he had no chance, burt boldly
replied: Zoos SIT. James Park is closed,
sir"
I"Closed?" queried the duke, "St. James
Park closed. Why, how's that?"
"Oh,' bawled the cabby, sarcastically,
whipping up his horse. they say as 'ow
the Dock o. Cambridge lost a three-penny
bit a-comin' cross the park last night,
and the parks closed by is order till they
finds it,"

NO BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.

Hes a natural-born lawyer" one said,
talking to a group Of professional men in
the city office of the Milwaukee road, and
then he told the story of how the mails
that morning had made glad a young
lawyer who has not been engaged in ac-
tive practice very long, though admitted
to the bar a number of years ago, says
the Milwaukee Wisconsin. When he
opened the mail there fluttered out a
check that a the figures $3.50 in one
corner and the name Of a man at the
business end that made the bit of paper
as good as though it bore the certification
OF the cashier of the First National ban
1t was the story of how one breach OF
promise case came to be settled out OF
court.
|afThe man whose name was at the bot
tom of the check was the one who would
Rave been the defendant but for the
young lawyers advice, and this is the
story as it was told:
|ls The man in trouble had gone to the
Young lawyer because he had known him
Tor some time, and told his troubles; he
had been indiscreet; he thought he owed
her, but he found out several weeks too
late that he was mistaken. No, he didn't
want to marry her, but she persisted, and
he couldn't stand the ignominy of threat
ened breach of promise suit; besides, he
Had written some exceedingly foolish let
tiers. Her family was very respectable,
and all that, and really there wasn't any
objection, only he didn't like the girl. Her
family stood high In church circles, were
very religious, and she was a model girl.
AQThen it vas that the young lawyers
natural-born genius asserted itself.
Let your beard grow for a week or
10. days." said he. "Then put IN some
Die clothes and muss them up. Go out
and take a number of drinks. Eat a lot
Of onions anu lisnburger cheese, and then

to open the door, but rush in. or, better
still, tumble in. Throw your arrns around
her and tell he she's the only girl you
ever loved and insist on getting married
without a moments delay, and then let
me know the result"
The result was the $3.50 check and the
letter.
Dear -" it read IT am sorry to
inform you that the wedding has been
indefinitely postponed. After that little
talk OF ours I liked UP ana carried out
your Instructions to the letter and a bit
further. In place of a drink or two I
am afraid I got gloriously drunk. I
managed to tumble over a chair as I en-
tered the room. She said I was a drunk

then said she was glad she had found me
