An Awful MiShan.


Two passengers on an Atlantic liner.
one an American and the other an Eng
lishman, did not exchange the farewell
courtesies when the steamer reached
her pier usual between voyagers who
have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voy-
age. A plausible explanation was
vouchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted in fraternizing with the
American in a most obtrusive and an
noying manner. Within two days of
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
in apparent dependency, gazing sea-
ward from the hurricane deck.
"Confounded blue this morning, old
chap. What's the matter?" And the
Britisher slapped his companion on the
back.
Matter enough" growled the Amer
lean. "Ship's lost; captain don't know
which way to steer. Forgot to wind
the compass last night"
The Englishman listened with mouth
agape, then rushed off to tell his friends
Of the consequential mishap. Evident
ly the gullible Britisher was pushed
along" for some time until he found
everybody guying him.-Boston Post.

Caught the Gear.

Peter the Great was once very neatly
caught in a trap by jester attached
to the court The jester was noted for
his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out of difficulties. 1t hap
pened one day that cousin of his had
incurred the cars displeasure and
was about to be executed. The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar, di-
vining his errand, cried: "It is no good
to come here | swear will not grant
what you are going to ask"
Immediately the jester went down
on his knees, saying, II beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp
cousin Of mine to DEATH"
The car. thus caught in his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon the
condemned man.-Columbian.

The Judges Affidavit.

Some years ago Justice of the Peace
Beasley Of Missouri was personally in
terested in lawsuit, being a party
thereto. It was necessary for him to
make an affidavit, and he deprecated
the idea Of making it before another
justice or notary and depriving him
self Of a fee. So he filed out his aft
davit, swore to it before himself, sign
ed it as justice and as witness and
awaited developments. He was sure
that he would wiz and thus be able to
tax the costs up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley, the affidavit was offered in evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that justice could
not swear himself.
''Let me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley
1t was handed up to the judge, who
scanned it carefully for a few mo-
ments and then asked:
''Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identified
your own signature?"
"That was very easy, your HONOR"
replied Beasley. II borrowed a look
Ing glass and went through the formali-
ties before it,
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
jection.-Omaha World-Herald.
