universal use which had never been
heard before. The nobleman accepted
the wager and left the theater. Then
Quin summoned all the "supers," who
happened to be very humorous. and
gave each Il large piece OF chalG. He
told them To 30 10 the leading thor

Quin's orders were faithfully carried
out, and on the f. lowing morning, of
course, people were astonished-the

great actor with little difficulty made
his claim to the nobleman's bank note,
while bequeathing a new word to the
language.

Lansing, Mich, April 1.-THE aft

demanding a change of venue in his
case declares that Eli r. Sutton is a
resident of Wayne county, and thar
the people of Ingham county, who
nave been and are liable to be selected
as jurors to try the said cause, are so
prejudiced against Sutton that he can
not obtain fair and impartial trial in
lngham county. The history of the

Sutton's attorneys declare that be-
cause Of the circulation of the testi.
mony taken in the Marsh case, through
the newspapers and otherwise, through
out the county, such strong prejudice
has been raised against the defendant
that it will be impossible to secure q
fair trial in lngham county. This is
the burden of the document, which is
very vOluminous. 1t also contains
twenty or more affidavits of persons
residing in the county, stating that
they have read very largely of the

through that have formed opinions as
to the guilt or innocence of Sutton.

that the request for a change of venue

A Natural Mistake.

A few years before his death Allen
G. Thurman, Of Ohio, was engaged as
counsel in a lawsuit which was tried
before n country judge In one of the
small towns in the central part Of the
state. Opposing Judge Thurman was
a young lawyer named Cassidy, who
wore his hair pompadour. assumed IN
air of great dignity and was appar.
emily greatly impressed with his own
Importance. Upon several occasions
during the progress of the trail Thur.
man referred to his legal opponent as
"Mr. Necessity" The young man arose
whenever this occurred and with great
gravity reminded the court that his
name was Cassidy. Finally, after the
offense had been repeated about doz-
en- times, the pompous attorney ex.
claimed:
81 must again remind counsel upon
the other side that my name Is Cassidy.
I can't understand why he persists In
maintaining that IL is Necessity"

said Thurman. 1.-THE reason I keep
getting him confused with Necessity
Is. I presume, due to the fact that the
latter knows no law"

And Told That III He Did Not He Would
BE Grand Bounced.

Charlotte, Mich, April 10.-Rev.
Harvey Kennedy, who had been called
upon to resign the pastorate of the To-
cal Methodist church and who appar-
emily had accepted the situation with
good grace, treated his congregation
to a surprise Sunday morning. He an
nounced he would occupy the time of
the services in discussing topics Of gen
eral interest rather than a Biblical text.
Thereupon he made bitter attack up
on the church and all that it stands for
in religious sense. Several members
declined to listen to the remarks ana
left the church, but they were greeted
with personal insults before reaching
the entrance.
Kennedy had nearly finished his SEN
sational attack when an old man inter
rupted and asked him to step down
from the rostrum, saying failure to
comply would result in the pastors
forcible ejectment from the building
by the officers of the church. Kennedy
then resigned and the congregation
voted to let him go. Kennedy left for
his former home in London, Ont. He
received his education in a Chicago
theological seminary.

undesirable customers out Of his shop:
IF an outsider comes into my shop
and l find him undesirable, get rid
Of him speedily. If he pays his check
with quarter or over, / give him 10
cents more change than Is coming to
him. That generally keeps him away,
as GROWERS are usually mean men, and
they stay away for fear Of being asked
for the overchange. II the mean man
just merely pays for his shave, the
next time he comes in ! ask him IL l
did not oyerpay him in making change
