This story illustrates the periis Of
practical joking IN Germany. Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen Of leisure
from the Rhine country went into the
kirmess in Bullay. They rode about
with a cabby and drank vine. and
drank wine and rode about with a cab
BY until they were overtaken BY the
conditions Of mind and body which
accompany these performances at Ger
man festivals. Then they began to dis
pute with the cabman az TO the weight
Of hts horse and cab. Eventually they
offered him 50 pfennigs. or about lz
cents q pound for the whole equip
page. He accepted the offer. The
horse and cab went on the scales and
registered 5000 pounds The whole
outfit was worth about SIS. 50 the cab
man haatened to surrender II and de-
mand his 12 cents a pound, or $3.50 IN
all The four gentlemen Of leisure then
protested that It was all a mistake. a
Joke. IN fact. and they couldn't think
of.paying $500 for a SIS equipage. They
went away. bat the cabma- sent horse
and cab after them b. express. G. D D.
when the four gentlemen Of. leisure re-
fused 70 follow the practical part Of the
joke further. the Cahman sued them.
He carried on the case from court %

each successive decision In bis favor.
and two weeks ago obtained the final
Judgment in Bis favor from the high
court Of justice Of coblenz. The costs.
meantime. had risen to $40. 60 the four
gentlemen 81 leisure were ordered 20
pay $500, sll told. That Is the total
cost Of the practical joke about the cab
mans SIS outfit. excepting the private
retainers which. for The defense Of the
four tokers through the steady legal
fight of q year and a half. are said to
amount to about $500 more The Bul-
