One Of the older members of the Bal

late Severn Teackle Wallis as illustrate

Wallis:
Mr.. Wallis was defending the win Of
q wealthy testator, and, as the lawyers
say, when the estate is large lawyer
will wrestle with WIN with a Will"
A prominent physician was called to
testify for those contesting the win.
The doctor became restless under the
lengthy and exhaustive cross examina-
ton of Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
lantly exclaimed:
"Oh, Mr.. Wallis, believe the tesla
tor was insanev'
Mr. Wallis kept his temper and said
quietly: Doctor, you are the first per-
son who has ever intimated IN or out
Of court that the testator was insane.
Why do you say he was insane?"
Il believe" the doctor replied, ''that
every man is more or less insane on
some one subject"
as 1t your deliberate professional
opinion" Mr. Wallis then asked. eek
pressed here in court under oath, that
every man is more or less insane on
some subJect?'
YES" the doctor replied; II win say
here under oath that from my reading,
knowledge and experience believe
that every man is more or less insane
on some one subject"
Then Mr.: Wallis said in that fine
tone of sarcasm for which he was not

Immediately the doctor fred up and
exclaimed, "But, Mr.. Wallis, am not

Mr.. Wallis arose and said: Doctor,

The father of Queen Victoria, the
Duke of Kent, had no objection to dis
senters and, in fact, cultivated init
mate relations with well known Con-
gregationalist minister, DR.. Stoughton,
whom he knew both at Windsor and
Kensington. The doctor lent the en-
barrassed duke some money, but re-
fused many invitations to dine at Ken
sington palace. At length Victoria's
father pressed him for his reason, and
the doctor explained that he would not
accept because he could not entertain
in return.
"Oh," said the duke, ''you can easily
do that. / like boiled leg Of mutton
and trimmings better than anything,
but cannot often get it." Taking the
hint, the doctor had a fine leg of NUT
ton duly prepared, and the duke thor
oughly enjoyed his dinner. The warm
friendship cemented by the leg of NUT
ton continued unimpaired until the
dukes death, and one Of the first acts
of the queen on coming to the throne
was to repay the doctors loan, ex-
pressing high appreciation of his con-
siderate kindness.

1 wasn't tramp, but l had to be-

With my having been i'll and out Of
work for months, with my being penni-
less and seedy and discouraged, with
my asking for meal here and a bed
there as l tramped the highways be-
tween London and Liverpool, no one
could be blamed for sizing me up as a
professional and treating me accord
ingly. l made no complaint of that.
What l complain of is the vindictiye-
ness of the English law, its readiness
to do up man simply because he may
be poor and unknown. Once let the
law lay hands on you. and it Is almost
crime to declare your innocence of
the offense charged. A thousand men
will declare your guilt where one will
dare to doubt it.
One night, in the county Of Warwick,
l came upon farmer who had neither
wife nor children, but was living alone
on his small holding. His name was
Holborne, and, though gruff at first, he
finally gave me hearty supper and

he had heard my story, he offered me a

The early records are filed with
reports of inquiries into the cause Of
rioting and disturbances of the peace.
The early court records consist largely
of actions brought for SANDER and as
sauIt. It is recorded that a man was
arrested for calling an official SNAP
pertje," another was put in jail, charg-
ed with having called his neighbor a
"dick beeste" and still another was
clapped into jail for having called q
certain official "bloodsucker." Some
Of the old Dutch records make interest
ing reading.
And the court melted out Justice in an
these cases with a regard for common
sense and a disregard for statute law
that one cannot help but admire. One
instance Of curious adjustment Of
penalties may be cited:
The village tavern keeper and a con-
tentious woman both appeared before
the court, asking Justice. They had
quarreled The woman had accused the
innkeeper Of watering his brandy, and
he in turn had applied an opprobrious
epithet to the woman. The court after
hearing the evidence adjudged both to
be guilty. With rare discrimination
in making the punishment fit the crime
the man was fined gulden and the
woman, who had impugned the quail
of the brandy. was fined 20 gulden.
With hundreds of times the popuia-
ton today, the courts Of Brooklyn do
not have one-tenth the SANDER or as
sault cases that they had some 200
years ago, and, as for riot there has
not been one of any magnitude even
threatened in more than a score Of
years.-Brooklyn Eagle.

MARKED HIS UNIFORM.
Major Brown Did 1t His Own Way
For the Lieutenant.

FOF the LIGutGAAhAs
Major Brown of the old Fifth cavalry
was given to what his fellow officers
used to call periodical eccentricity.
When the eccentricity struck him, It
took the form of a fixed determination
to sit in his quarters with no companions
save something made of earthenware and
q much smaller object made of glass
When the major was eccentric, nobody
dared go near him save Aaron, his ne
gro cook, for the major had cowboy
habit of shooting his. gun around the feet
and head of an intruder, and the major
was no respecter of rank-thst is, when
he was eccentric. One day there report
ed at Fort Dodge to join young fel
low from West Point He had been as
signed to Major Browns troop. The
stripping lieutenant reported, as in duty
bound. to the commanding officer of the
post and then started, as equally in duty
bound, to report to his troop commander,
Major Brown. The commanding officer
did not dare to tell the young fellow that
the major was that day eccentric, but be
did tell him that there was no imperative
necessity Of reporting to his troop COM
mander then, and he might put it off for
a day or two The lieutenant, however,
had not been toeing his mark for four
years for nothing He had read his or

Browns quarters. He was in civilian
clothes, and in his hand he carried
dress suit case containing his uniform.

quarters. A lion't roar babe him enter

THE HIDDEN MEANING.

high above the crowded street
Countless wires both cross and meett
Paths are they for fairy feet.
Shod with lightning from the sky,
Unseen messengers glide by;
What they bear none may descry.
Often, when the wind is strong,
We can hear their wailing song,
Borne those slender threads along.
But, in list'ning, who can say,
As the message glides away,
Whether it be sad or gay?
So in every human breast
Lies some mystery. unexpressed
Fen to those one loves the best.
Only we ourselves may know,
As our hurrying life beats go,
Whether it be Joy or woe.

birds and Their Baths.

Naturalists tell us that in making
their toilets some birds use water only,
some water and dust, while other pre-
fer dust and no water. Birds are not
only nice in the choice Of bath water,
but also very particular about the
quality of their toilet dust.
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water, prefer to battle in fresh water
pools, and will fly long distances in
land to running brooks and ponds,
where they preen and dress their
feathers in the early hours of the
morning. Sparrows battle often, both
in water and in dust. They are not so
particular about the quality of water
as about the quality of the dust. The
city sparrow must take water bath
where he can get it. Road dust, the
driest and finest possible, suits him
best. Partridges prefer dry loan.
They like to scratch out the soil from
under the grass and fill their feathers
with cool earth.
Most birds are fond of ashes. Take
a walk some early morning across a
field where bonfres have burned and
see the numbers of winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
A darting form, small cloud of ashes,
and the bathers disappear.
